Russell Wilson
2025 Season Outlooks
Wilson moved to New York in the offseason and is currently the favorite to start Week 1 for the Giants. His 7.1 Y/A over the past two seasons is respectable and his 5.4% TD rate is well above average, if still below his career average. Malik Nabers is the best wide receiver he's had since he left Seattle and maybe ever. Still, we're only drafting Wilson in leagues where you can start two QBs because the team also signed Jameis Winston this offseason and drafted Jaxson Dart in Round 1. If Wilson can't keep the Giants close to .500 we find it likely he will lose his job. A borderline QB1 ceiling with getting benched floor is not something you want to rely on in a one-QB league, even if he does have a potential shootout in Week 1 with the Commanders.
Wilson signed with the Giants following a one-year stint in Pittsburgh. In 11 starts for the Steelers, he averaged 15.7 fantasy PPG and managed only two weekly finishes better than 10th. Wilson remained serviceable as a passer -- he now has 42 pass TDs to 13 INTs over the past two seasons (26 games) -- but wasn't much of a factor with his legs (career-low 155 yards). Wilson finished 15th in fantasy PPG, which marks his fourth straight season outside the top 12. The 36-year-old has Malik Nabers at his disposal, which will help keep him in the weekly QB2 conversation, but there's simply not much upside here and he could eventually cede his job to rookie Jaxson Dart.
