Changes in the Giants’ plan?
Coach Brian Daboll confirmed that Russell Wilson will remain the starter in Week 2. The plan, for now, is to keep him in the position. However, the situation could change when Andrew Thomas returns and the offensive line is more solid. Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have a specific strategy for the development of Jaxson Dart, based on previous experiences with young quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.Dart has shown great progress in the preseason, which has generated expectations. The Giants staff considers him a fast learner and highly motivated. If Wilson has another poor performance in Week 2, the pressure for Dart to play will increase.Despite Wilson’s problems, money is often a significant factor in these situations. Leaving him on the bench after Week 1 would mean the Giants would have paid him more than $10 million for a single game.

Are the Dolphins in trouble?
The Dolphins could be approaching an early crossroads in the season. The team did not show the expected performance in their game against the Colts. There are concerns about the overall talent of the roster and the lack of clear leaders in the locker room. If the Dolphins don’t achieve a victory in Week 2, the situation could worsen rapidly, potentially leading to significant changes in the team. The rumors of a trade for Tyreek Hill are a topic to follow. If the losses persist, the management could consider the possibility of a trade.Is Justin Fields the solution for the Jets?
Fields showed a better-than-expected performance in his first game with the Jets. His accuracy and touch on long passes were notable. If he has made a big leap in this aspect, the Jets could have success with a talented player. Despite doubts about Fields’ consistency, his performance has been promising, and the Jets’ offensive team is solid, especially on the offensive line. Offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand also did a good job of keeping the game manageable for Fields.Runner Hierarchy: Who Shined in Week 1?
In the game between the Bears and the Vikings, Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason shared the workload. Mason had more opportunities and yards, while Jones Sr. contributed with receptions and a touchdown.D’Andre Swift was the Bears’ primary running back, with a large number of snaps.
