Giants Name Rookie Jaxson Dart Week 4 Starter, Bench Russell Wilson

After an 0-3 start with uneven quarterback play, the first-round pick takes over against a top Chargers defense.

Overview

  • Coach Brian Daboll informed both quarterbacks of the decision on Tuesday after declining Monday to name a Week 4 starter, according to multiple reports.
  • Russell Wilson shifts to the No. 2 role behind Dart, with no release or QB3 demotion expected, per NFL Network reporting.
  • Drafted 25th overall, Dart has logged six regular-season snaps with no pass attempts but drew strong reviews for his preseason work.
  • Home fans chanted for Dart and booed Wilson during Sunday’s 22-9 loss to the Chiefs, reflecting growing frustration with the offense.
  • The Chargers are 3-0 and have allowed roughly 16–17 points per game, underscoring a challenging debut and a difficult stretch ahead for New York.
