Expected to be the starter over Jameis Winston
The New York Giants reached agreement with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday. Wilson is returning as the Giants’ projected starting quarterback.

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Giants already signed Jameis Winston a few days ago but all signs point to Wilson being the starter. Wilson struggled to maintain fantasy relevance in Pittsburgh last season, ranking as the QB15 on a weekly basis in half-ppr leagues. This move isn’t helping the value of wideout Malik Nabers although Nabers did manage a low-end WR1 season with subpar quarterback play. The Giants have the 3rd pick in the upcoming draft and still need to address their long-term quarterback problem.
