Giants Bench Wilson For Rookie Dart In Week 4 NFL Start

The New York Giants have decided to bench veteran quarterback Russell Wilson after an 0-3 start and will start rookie Jaxson Dart in Week 4 against the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers. This marks the Giants' 10th different starting quarterback since Eli Manning's final season, with Dart being the third rookie to make his first start in this span. Despite limited regular-season experience, Dart impressed during the preseason and has seen his odds for Offensive Rookie of the Year improve significantly. Head coach Brian Daboll's decision to start Dart against a strong Chargers defense demonstrates a willingness to shake up the struggling offense and move on from Wilson's inconsistent performances. The Chargers' defense, ranked among the NFL's best, will test the rookie in his debut, with Giants fans and analysts cautiously optimistic about Dart's potential impact. This quarterback change has also influenced betting lines, reflecting both skepticism and hope for the new era in New York.
