New York Giants QB Russell Wilson was officially named the team's starting quarterback by head coach Brian Daboll at a press conference Thursday, April 24.
Huddle Up: This news should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, despite the presence of Jameis Winston and first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart on the roster, along with Tommy DeVito. Although Wilson showed flashes of brilliance in 2024, his performance tailed off near the end of the season, so he should be viewed as a midrange QB2 option in most fantasy formats. Dart will have value in dynasty leagues, although there is a good chance that he won't see the field in 2025.

New York Giants QB Russell Wilson recently held a workout with WR Darius Slayton, WR Wan'Dale Robinson and TE Theo Johnson.
Huddle Up: Wilson likely will be the leading candidate for the starting quarterback entering training camp based on the contract he signed this offseason. He had some productive outings in 2024 but struggled at the end of the season. Wilson likely will be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

New York Giants QB Russell Wilson will work with the first-team offense during offseason workouts, according to general manager Joe Schoen.
Huddle Up: Wilson received a good contract from the Giants, so he should be the leading candidate for the starting job even if the team selects a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Wilson played well at times this past season but should only be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

New York Giants QB Russell Wilson said he expects to open the 2025 season as the starting quarterback.
Huddle Up: Wilson probably will enter training camp as the significant favorite for the starting job even if the team selects a quarterback in the first round because of the contract he signed. Fantasy players can monitor the situation over the next few months but should consider Wilson a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the New York Giants Tuesday, March 25, worth as much as $21 million, according to sources. The deal includes $10.5 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Wilson appears to be on track to start for the Giants based on the money he will be receiving. He had some success with the Steelers last season but did struggle at the end of the season. He can be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season if he starts for the Giants.

The New York Giants' signing of QB Jameis Winston earlier this week would not necessarily preclude them from signing another free-agent quarterback, such as QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) or QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets), according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Winston is likely to open the 2025 season as the Giants' starter, even if the team drafts a quarterback, unless they also sign Wilson or Rodgers. If he plays, Winston should be viewed as a QB2 option for fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) appears to be the Cleveland Browns' top choice amongst available quarterbacks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, although there is still a chance that he could return to the Pittsburgh Steelers if free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) decides not to sign there. As a contingency plan, the Browns have also maintained interest in free-agent QB Carson Wentz (Eagles).
Huddle Up: Regardless of where Wilson winds up for the 2025 season, he should only be viewed as a QB2 option for fantasy purposes.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) is reportedly ready to sign a new contract with an NFL team but likely won't do so until after free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) has signed a deal first, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: At this point, it appears as though Rodgers will sign with either the New York Giants or the Pittsburgh Steelers, with Wilson believed to be the top option for whichever team doesn't wind up with Rodgers. Regardless of where either player lands next season, they should both be viewed as QB2 options in fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) visited the New York Giants Thursday, March 14 for dinner, continuing into Friday, March 15 with a meeting with team owners in the office.
Huddle Up: Wilson also has met with the Cleveland Browns. Wherever he lands, Wilson would enter the 2025 season as a QB2 in all fantasy leagues. New York is an intriguing landing spot, as he would have WR Malik Nabers to work with, as well as up-and-coming RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. and newly re-signed WR Darius Slayton.

Updating a previous report, free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) is reportedly scheduled to meet with the New York Giants this week after he visits the Cleveland Browns, according to a source.
Huddle Up: New York would be an odd but somewhat interesting fit for Wilson. While Wilson has been able to make at least one pass-catcher on his team viable in fantasy just about every year of his career, he is not a quarterback a team wants to be throwing 40 times per game either - which might be the case with New York in 2025. Regardless of the landing spot, Wilson should not be considered anything more than a low-end QB2 this season.
