The New York Giants made major changes to the quarterback room this offseason.
After trading back into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, head coach Brian Daboll made it clear that veteran free agent acquisition, Russell Wilson, would be the starter when the season began in the fall.

Many believe that, even at age 36, Wilson has a chance to raise the Giants’ offense to a level fans can be excited about. In fact, CBS Sports has highlighted a few players from the team’s passing game that could be deep sleepers in 2025, including Wilson.

Hopefully Wilson provides competent quarterback play to support this passing game, especially when it comes to Malik Nabers. But on his own, Wilson might prove to be a waiver wire option, and he has averaged at least 20.0 Fantasy points in 10 of 13 seasons in his career and only one year with fewer than 18.6 Fantasy points. Robinson had six games in 2024 with at least 13.1 PPR points, and Slayton’s big-play ability might thrive with Wilson. You can draft Robinson in Round 15 based on FantasyPros, Wilson’s ADP is Round 16 and Slayton is available in Round 18.
Obviously, with the offense built around a superstar in the making, Malik Nabers, he wouldn’t fit into the category of a fantasy sleeper. However, Nabers may be the key reason the other three made the list.
After just one year, Nabers may be the most talented receiver Wilson has ever played with in his career, even after playing with George Pickens last season and spending time with D.K. Metcalf when he was with the Seattle Seahawks.
With the attention of opposing defenses focused on Nabers, the other featured receivers, Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, may benefit from the team bringing in Wilson to be the team’s starting quarterback.

If the offensive line can play like it did to start the season last year, coupled with the emergence of running back Tyrone Tracy, the offense could be a balanced, functional unit for the first time in a long time.
