News: 4 days agoWilson (coach's decision) is inactive but operating as the Giants' emergency third quarterback in Monday night's matchup with the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Spin: Wilson will be inactive for the first time this season as Jaxson Dart returns from a two-game absence following a concussion, reclaiming the starting role while Jameis Winston serves as his top backup. Wilson will only be able to enter the contest if both Dart and Winston are removed from the game.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Wilson signed with the Giants following a one-year stint in Pittsburgh. In 11 starts for the Steelers, he averaged 15.7 fantasy PPG and managed only two weekly finishes better than 10th. Wilson remained serviceable as a passer -- he now has 42 pass TDs to 13 INTs over the past two seasons (26 games) -- but wasn't much of a factor with his legs (career-low 155 yards). Wilson finished 15th in fantasy PPG, which marks his fourth straight season outside the top 12. The 36-year-old has Malik Nabers at his disposal, which will help keep him in the weekly QB2 conversation, but there's simply not much upside here and he could eventually cede his job to rookie Jaxson Dart.
