New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 191 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. He also registered eight rushing attempts for 56 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The rookie sensation has played quite well despite New York's 2-7 record; he has 11 total touchdowns and just one interception over his last four games. In fact, he has scored a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown in four straight contests. Even if the Giants continue to lose, Dart should be started in most fantasy leagues. He's a mid-to-low QB1 for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, who just surrendered 470 yards and four touchdowns to Joe Flacco.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for his sixth NFL start, primarily due to his aggressive rushing ability, evidenced by six rushing touchdowns in just five games and a 16.96 fantasy points per game average. This week's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense is favorable, as they rank 31st in the NFL with only nine sacks, which should give Dart ample time to utilize his dual-threat skills. Despite losing key weapons, Dart can exploit the 49ers' passing defense, which has allowed 229.3 passing yards and 13 passing touchdowns on the season. Given the opponent's low pass-rush pressure and Dart's rushing floor, he is a solid QB2 start, capable of exceeding the 16.51 fantasy points per game the 49ers allow to quarterbacks.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a dynamic player since taking over as his team's starter in Week 4. Across six games (four starts) this season, Dart has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He's been most impressive with his legs, rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns on 37 attempts. Dart and the Giants will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in Week 8, which marks the second time in the last three weeks that these two teams will square off. Dart played well in his first game against Philadelphia, recording 253 total yards and two touchdowns. However, it's worth noting that the Eagles played the entire game without star defensive lineman Jalen Carter and most of the game without top cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, both of whom will be active in Week 8. Dart's rushing ability gives him a safe fantasy floor, but he may have a difficult time as a passer in a tough road matchup. He profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 in Week 8 against the Eagles.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go for his team's Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. In six games (four starts) so far this season, Dart has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 22-year-old rookie has also been one of the NFL's most dynamic rushing quarterbacks, recording 178 yards and three touchdowns on 37 rushing attempts. Week 8 will be Dart's second game in three weeks against Philadelphia. In Week 6, he recorded 253 total yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles. Dart profiles as a low-end fantasy starter in single-QB formats and a must-start quarterback in two-QB leagues in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2025 3:24 PM EST
Since taking over as his team's starter in Week 4, New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has flashed significant fantasy upside. In four starts, the 22-year-old has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. Perhaps most encouragingly, Dart has rushed for 178 yards and three scores on 37 attempts so far this season. Dart's ability to use his legs appears to be a feature of his game, as he's rushed for at least 50 yards or a touchdown in three out of four starts. Dart profiles as a low-end starter in single-quarterback formats and a must-start player in two-quarterback formats heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was in a tough road matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 7, but his final numbers were excellent. He threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns while adding a fourth score on the ground with 11 rushing yards. Dart was one of the top scoring quarterbacks of the week, but his day was spoiled by taking the loss to the Broncos, who stormed back with 33 points in the fourth quarter to win 33-32. Dart did throw a brutal interception to help fuel the comeback, but the kicking game and his team's defensive struggles ultimately led to the loss. Dart and the Giants have shown a lot of promise and upside, and they'll head to Philadelphia this week for a rematch against the Eagles. The Giants beat the Eagles in Week 6 in New York, and they'll look to pull off the upset again this week, but this time they'll be on the road. Even in tough environments, Dart has shown enough upside to be considered as a starter in most formats, with his rushing potential keeping both his floor and ceiling very high.
Oct 21, 2025 8:20 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 15 of his 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also rushed for 11 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. This was Dart's first career four-touchdown game -- he had previously never scored more than twice -- but it wasn't enough as the Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone, taking down New York with a field goal as time expired. Dart, a rookie, played solid in the defeat, especially considering how effective Denver's defense has been this year. The loss was unfortunate, but from a fantasy perspective, 283 passing yards and four total touchdowns are nothing to complain about. He'll remain in the low-end QB1 conversation for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In his last outing against Philly, he had 195 passing yards, 58 rushing yards, two total touchdowns, and zero turnovers.
Oct 19, 2025 8:28 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will face his toughest test yet against the elite Denver Broncos defense, making him a risky QB2 for Week 7. Dart's fantasy value is propped up by his rushing, as he has posted over 50 yards and a touchdown on the ground in two of his three starts, accumulating 167 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the season. However, the Broncos' pass defense is a massive concern, as they rank second in the NFL in points allowed per game (15.8) and are the second-worst matchup for fantasy quarterbacks, allowing only 11.62 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Dart has been sacked seven times in three starts, and he will now face a Broncos team that leads the league with an astounding 30 sacks. His mobility and willingness to run are his best hope for a decent floor, but the matchup's difficulty makes him hard to trust as a starting option.
Oct 18, 2025 1:42 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has helped his team to two big home wins over the Chargers and Eagles in his three games since taking over as starting QB, but he also lost a game on the road to the Saints. In Week 6, he threw for 195 yards and a touchdown in New York's Thursday Night Football upset of the Eagles and added 58 yards and a rushing score to help him be one of the highest scoring quarterbacks of the week. His rushing potential makes him a good fantasy play in almost any matchup since he brings both a high ceiling and a high floor. This week, he faces a very tough matchup, though, against the Broncos, who just shut down Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields to win their last two games. The game will also be in Denver, which will surely be a hostile environment for the rookie. Dart has shown enough to be worth a look as a second QB or bye-week fill-in off the waiver wire, even in this tough matchup. Looking further ahead, he'll have a tough rematch with the Eagles on the road in Week 8 before matchups with the 49ers and Bears that look a little more favorable. Even if he isn't an elite play in those matchups, his rushing production is enough to keep him as a viable fantasy option in most formats.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 17 of his 25 pass attempts for 195 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. He also contributed on the ground, rushing the ball 13 times for an additional 58 yards and one touchdown. The rookie first-round pick played turnover-free football and took just two sacks for a loss of one yard total. While Dart's passing yardage was modest, he made an impact by limiting turnovers and using his legs to make plays. If he can find this level of success against a strong defense like the Eagles, his potential in the league is limitless. He's a QB2 with QB1 upside heading into another tricky matchup against the Denver Broncos.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was removed from the injury report on Wednesday and will play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. The 22-year-old first-rounder came out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a sore left hamstring, but it was never really viewed as anything serious, even heading into a short week. Dart upset the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 in his first NFL start, but he took a step back and committed three turnovers on Sunday to give the Saints their first win of the season. There are going to be plenty of ups and downs for Dart in his rookie season, especially with top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the year. Dart's dual-threat abilities give him upside as a QB2 in fantasy, although he'll be one to fade against a tough Eagles defense that is coming off their first loss of the year.
Oct 8, 2025 1:03 PM EST
With the New York Giants preparing to play on Thursday night against the Eagles, quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) would have been projected as limited in Tuesday's walkthrough. With the short week of preparation, there are no official reports of his participation, but head coach Brian Daboll believes he will be fine for Thursday night. Dart has been a usable fantasy piece since taking over for Russell Wilson and now starting two games. While the rookie signal caller has fumbled twice and thrown two interceptions, while averaging only 5.2 yards per attempt, he's run for over 50 yards in each of his starts, adding one touchdown on the ground. With a built-in floor provided by his legs, Dart will continue to see streamable opportunities throughout the year, but this week against the Eagles is not one of them.
Oct 7, 2025 2:23 PM EST
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on the team's Monday injury report. The Giants play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, so Monday's injury report is an estimation of practice status. Dart has thrown for 313 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions across his first two starts in the NFL over the last two weeks. If he were unable to suit up in Week 6, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson would likely take over under center for the Giants. Wilson started New York's first three games of the season, throwing for 786 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Either quarterback is tough for fantasy managers to trust in a short week against a difficult opponent in the Eagles.
Oct 6, 2025 9:18 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, has an excellent matchup in Week 5 after a solid NFL debut, where he led the Giants to a 21-18 victory over the Chargers. His dual-threat ability was on full display as he threw for 111 yards and a touchdown while adding 54 yards and another score on the ground. This week, he faces a Saints defense that, despite being sixth-best in passing yards allowed per game (177.0), has been extremely vulnerable to fantasy quarterbacks, ranking as the 28th-best defense against them by allowing an average of 20.6 fantasy points per game. New Orleans has surrendered nine passing touchdowns, the second-most in the league, and their 30th-ranked red zone defense could provide ample scoring opportunities for the rookie.
Oct 4, 2025 12:56 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Dart reportedly hurt his hamstring at some point during his first career win over the undefeated Chargers. However, it doesn't appear to be anything serious, as he finished out the game. It's still important to be aware of, as his legs were a huge part of his performance and drove most of his value generated. If the hamstring injury impacts his willingness to run or effectiveness as a runner, he'll be less appealing as a fantasy starter. And of course, he will also be without his superstar wide receiver Malik Nabers. Dart is right on the QB1/QB2 line for Week 6 in a soft matchup against New Orleans.
Oct 1, 2025 6:29 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that he expects that rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) will be able to practice on Wednesday, according to Patricia Traina of SI.com. Dart apparently injured his hamstring in his first career win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 on Sunday, but he finished out the game and should be alright to make his second career start in Week 5 in a great matchup against the winless New Orleans Saints. The 22-year-old went 13-for-20 passing for 111 yards and a touchdown against L.A., rushing 10 times for 54 yards and another touchdown. Dart gave the G-Men a spark and helped them beat a strong defense, but the news of receiver Malik Nabers' (knee) season-ending injury puts a damper on the offense moving forward. Still, Dart has the potential to be a nice QB2 streamer with upside in the Big Easy in his second NFL start, given his dual-threat abilities.
Sep 29, 2025 10:57 PM EST
It wasn't all pretty, but New York Giants rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart did enough to lead his team to their first win in 2025 in Week 4 while also giving the Los Angeles Chargers their first loss. Against a tough Chargers defense, Dart went 13-for-20 passing for 111 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while adding 10 carries for 54 yards and another score in a 21-18 victory. He was sacked five times for a loss of 25 yards. The 22-year-old ran 15 yards to the end zone on his first drive of the game. The Ole Miss product's first career TD pass went to tight end Theo Johnson on a shovel pass in the third quarter. Dart was briefly checked for a concussion, but thankfully was able to return quickly. His dual-threat abilities give him intriguing long-term upside, but there will be growing pains, especially if top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) is lost for the year with a torn ACL. New York's schedule lightens up in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, though, where Dart will be an upside QB2 play in fantasy.
Sep 28, 2025 10:23 PM EST
According to Connor Hughes of SNY, the New York Giants' offense is expected to look "a lot different" under rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Hughes noted that he expects the Giants to now attack all three levels of the defense, something they rarely did with Russell Wilson under center during the opening weeks. Outside of their offensive explosion in Week 2 against the Cowboys, the Giants struggled to move the ball downfield. During their loss to the Chiefs last weekend, Wilson threw for just 160 yards with two interceptions. During the preseason, Dart looked very comfortable at the professional level, tallying 372 passing yards with three scores. Even though he has a tough matchup against the Chargers this afternoon, he carries high-end QB2 upside.
Sep 28, 2025 11:35 AM EST
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart enters his first career NFL start as an intriguing but risky fantasy option at home against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. The Chargers present a difficult test, boasting the league's top-ranked red zone defense (25% TD rate) while allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points (14.21 FPPG) to opposing quarterbacks through the first three weeks. However, Los Angeles has been susceptible through the air, surrendering the second-most passing yards per game (270), which could create opportunities for the rookie after a sharp preseason where he posted a 113.1 passer rating without an interception. Ultimately, Dart's fantasy value is significantly buoyed by his aggressive rushing style, demonstrated by his 52 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, establishing a solid floor that makes him a viable QB2 this week.
Sep 27, 2025 1:03 AM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart will be the team's starter for the rest of the season, with veteran Russell Wilson serving as the backup, according to Art Stapleton of the North Jersey Bergen Record. It didn't take long for the 0-3 Giants to bench Wilson and go with Dart, whom they traded up for in the first round of April's draft to select. The Ole Miss product will be thrown into the fire in a tough Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 Los Angeles Chargers this weekend. While we would not recommend the 22-year-old as a DFS option in his first NFL start, Dart's dual-threat abilities at the most important position on the field give him plenty of long-term upside in New York. Receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson should benefit, but there are going to be growing pains along the way.
