Giants plan to ride out Wilson while Dart develops, with no rush to start the rookie. Thomas's absence tightens the timeline and adds risk to any early debut. Week 1's package for Dart existed but went unused; Week 2 is expected to mirror that approach. For fantasy players, monitor Wilson's workload, Dart's growing role, and Thomas's return to gauge when Dart could emerge.

Giants QB debate intensifies after Week 1, with Russell Wilson under fire for an offense that stalled in Washington. Some pundits push to unleash Jaxson Dart in Dallas to spark a fragile attack; others urge patience and a measured, long runway for the rookie. ESPN’s Schefter notes there’s no urgency to bench Wilson, while coach Brian Daboll stresses development and game planning behind the scenes. The franchise weighs short-term results against a durable Dart-Daboll path to the future.

The piece underscores Dart’s readiness through show-team reps and limited first-unit looks, framing him as the eventual anchor while acknowledging the brutal schedule and offensive line issues. If the plan holds, Dart could assume a larger role once the offense clicks, with Nabers and the receiving group poised to benefit from a more dynamic threat under center.

Wan'Dale Robinson's Week 2 status casts a shadow over Giants-Cowboys. If active, he projects as a risky WR4/Flex in full-PPR after Week 1 volume, but his ankle injury creates clear risk on a tough Dallas matchup. If sidelined, Theo Johnson would absorb more targets and Malik Nabers becomes a deeper dart throw. New York sits as 4.5-point underdogs, and the game script could push heavy volume toward the Giants' passing game against a Cowboys secondary that allowed surprising WR production last season.
