Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Brock Purdy

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson "is expected to emerge as a trade candidate" ahead of the deadline. With the G-Men winless through the first three games of the season, head coach Brian Daboll made the call to bench Wilson heading into the Week 4 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. In his place, Jaxson Dart will get the start. Despite the demotion, Wilson vowed to "respond" the right way by serving as a mentor to the rookie. Without question, his best days are behind him. However, the 36-year-old could find himself in a more favorable situation, so fantasy managers in Superflex setups with room on the roster may want to consider stashing him. Wilson started three games this season, throwing for 778 yards, three touchdowns, and three picks while completing a career-low 59.1% of his attempts.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is back in the QB1 conversation in Week 15. On Sunday, Purdy and the Niners face the Titans, who have allowed 22.4 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Last week, Tennessee got torched by rookie Shedeur Sanders to the tune of 364 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and another 29 yards with an additional score on the ground. The Titans have given up multiple passing touchdowns in six of their last seven games and averaged 265 passing yards allowed during the same stretch. This is promising for Purdy, who has averaged just 187 passing yards per game since returning in Week 11 from a six-game absence managing turf toe. Purdy is a solid option in two-QB formats and is a good pivot from similar quarterbacks with more imposing matchups in Week 15.
