2025 Fantasy Outlook
After wearing out his welcome in Denver, Wilson signed a one-year deal with the Steelers last offseason. He wasn’t run out of town this time, but he didn’t do enough to be asked back either. Wilson signed another one-year deal this offseason, this time with the Giants, confirming that he's in the journeyman portion of his career. After missing the first six games of last season with a calf injury, Wilson posted a 12:3 TD:INT in his first seven games while averaging 8.4 YPA. But he threw just four TDs in the last four games, with 5.7 YPA as the Steelers went 0-4 to back into the playoffs. Wilson got the ball out quicker than usual, which freed him from his usual dependence on RB dump-offs under duress and increased his YPA to 7.4 (15th). He's still an excellent deep thrower -- 45.5 completion percentage on attempts of 20-plus yards (2nd), 111.0 passer rating (4th) -- but prorating his overall numbers to a full season would only put him in the QB15 range, about the same as the previous three years. In New York, he’s keeping the seat warm for 25th overall pick Jaxson Dart. Even if Wilson keeps the starting job all season, he doesn’t have much upside at age 36, with only one true playmaker to target in Malik Nabers. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
In backup role for good
Giants coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Wilson will operate as the backup to Jaxson Dart for the rest of the season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson heads to the bench after three starts, and the team isn't leaving the door open for any further changes under center with Dart now in the No. 1 position. Daboll said Wilson as a "pro" about his being benched. While New York hasn't mentioned the possibility of any future trade, Wilson's presence is somewhat redundant for the team due to the presence of Jameis Winston in the No. 3 role. After an awful start to the year though, aside from his huge Week 2 production versus the Cowboys, it's unclear whether even quarterback-needy teams around the league will express much interest in Wilson's availability.

Wilson’s second year in Denver went better than the first but not well enough to avoid getting benched late in the season and then released in March with a record $85 million dead-cap charge. He quickly signed with the Steelers, who later traded for Justin Fields. Wilson is in “pole position” to start, according to coach Mike Tomlin, and the 35-year-old would help himself if he just got the ball out quicker. Only Fields (3.23) took longer to throw than Wilson’s 3.06-second average last year, as he, again, stubbornly waited for downfield opportunities before repeatedly taking sacks or settling for check downs. Wilson ranked third in the NFL with 12.6 percent of his attempts traveling at least 20 yards and second with 26.2 percent at or behind the line of scrimmage, leading the league in RB screens for the second consecutive year. It amounted to a 6.9 YPA (22nd) on a 7.1-yard average target depth (25th) -- both career lows. Perhaps in Pittsburgh he’ll stop hunting for home runs and be content with drive-moving completions -- he was second in completion percentage (65.5) on attempts of 10-19 yards last season but simply didn't have many of those passes. The Steelers have a pair of quality targets in WR George Pickens and TE Pat Freiermuth, but they otherwise seem to be counting on unimpressive Van Jefferson and/or third-round rookie Roman Wilson. Pittsburgh figures to be run-heavy anyway with new OC Arthur Smith taking over an offense featuring RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. It's a situation in which Wilson is unlikely to put up big fantasy numbers even if he stabilizes the team's offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Handling demotion well
Head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Wilson was "a pro" about having lost his starting job to rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Raanan confirms Wilson intends to remain with the Giants as the No. 2 quarterback, as opposed to asking for a release or trade. The veteran signal-caller also stated he didn't think his days as a starter were done, but he is currently focused on helping his current team despite no longer being under center. "I'm focused on helping Jaxson. I'm focused on me getting ready to be the best version of me today on Wednesday," Wilson said. "I want to be here. I love this organization. I love the process of it all, I love the guys in the locker room."
