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
Accurate in preseason opener
Wilson completed six of seven passes for 28 yards in Saturday's 34-25 preseason win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
The veteran quarterback got the start in the Giants' first preseason contest but played only one drive, keeping the ball moving with short passes to his running backs and tight ends to set up a 53-yard Graham Gano field goal. Wilson's reluctance to stretch the field may have been part of a vanilla game plan, but it likely also had something to do with the absence of Malik Nabers (shoulder), Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Jalin Hyatt from the lineup. It's not clear how much the Giants plan to use Wilson the rest of the preseason, so he may not get any opportunities to build a rapport with Nabers in game action before a Week 1 clash with the Commanders.

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
HC confirms starting role
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Wilson is the team's clear-cut starting quarterback, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Given the presence of fellow veteran Jameis Winston and rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart on the depth chart alongside him, Wilson's status as the unquestioned starter is worth clarifying. Wilson took all but one first-team snap during Wednesday's opening training camp practice, and he's already receiving high praise from Malik Nabers, who caught three touchdown passes from him during the session.
