ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports that New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) did not have a setback with his head injury, according to multiple sources. Dart is feeling better but remained limited in practice on Friday. The decision to hold the 22-year-old signal-caller out for a second straight game in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions was made by team doctors to play it safe with Dart. The Ole Miss product should be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol to play in Week 13 against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Since taking over the starting QB gig in New York, Dart has provided a spark for the offense, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while also rushing for 317 yards and seven touchdowns. Veteran Jameis Winston is expected to make a second straight start in Detroit on Sunday with Dart sidelined.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) won't suit up for this Sunday's road outing with the Detroit Lions, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. There was some hope that the Ole Miss product would clear concussion protocol ahead of the team's Week 12 matchup. However, he'll miss a second consecutive outing after picking up the injury a few weeks back in their loss to the Bears. With Dart out, New York figures to again turn to veteran Jameis Winston as they square off with the hosting Lions. Winston was fine in his first start since Week 15 of 2025, although his presence under center undoubtedly lowers the offense's floor.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) will practice again on Thursday, and there is a chance that he could clear concussion protocol, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Dart is trending in the right direction after suffering a concussion in Week 10 against the Bears, then missing New York's Week 11 matchup against the Packers. The rookie first-rounder was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and it's to be determined what his designation will be on Thursday. The 22-year-old excelled in his seven starts this season before getting injured, completing 62.7% of his passes for 1,417 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions to go with 57 carries for 317 yards and seven scores on the ground, ranking as the QB3 in points per game (23.9). His status for Week 12 against the Lions will be updated in the coming days.
Nov 20, 2025 2:25 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday "in some capacity," per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Dart suffered a concussion in Week 10 that forced him to miss New York's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. It remains to be seen whether Dart will be able to practice in full on Wednesday or if he will be limited, but either way, his presence on the field is a positive sign for his chances of playing in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. Across nine games (seven starts) this season, Dart has thrown for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores on 57 attempts. If active, he profiles as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 12 against Detroit. If Dart cannot return, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston would be in line to make his second straight start for the Giants on Sunday.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) missed his team's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to a concussion. When asked about Dart's status for practice leading into New York's Week 12 matchup against the Detroit Lions, interim Giants head coach Mike Kafka said Dart remains in the league's concussion protocol. While Dart could clear the protocol in time for Week 12, it does not appear that the team knows exactly what his status will be at this time. With Dart sidelined in Week 11, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston took over under center for the Giants. Winston completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 201 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception against the Packers. If Winston gets another start against Detroit, he could be a solid starting fantasy QB option in two-quarterback league formats.
Nov 17, 2025 10:18 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie quarterback has been solid with 1,417 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions in nine games. However, he continues to put himself in danger with how he runs the football. The organization is urging Dart to change his running style going forward. This isn't the first time Dart has been evaluated for a concussion and he hasn't played a full season. The Giants want to make sure they protect their franchise quarterback going forward. Dart is having success on the ground with 317 yards on 57 attempts while scoring seven touchdowns. It doesn't sound like the Giants want to take the part of his game away, but they want him to be smarter when he's doing it.
Nov 16, 2025 7:50 AM EST
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dart suffered a concussion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and has spent this week in the league's concussion protocol. However, Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka recently said that Dart is progressing well, so he may be on track to return in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. With Dart sidelined against Green Bay, quarterback Jameis Winston will make his first start of the season for New York. In 12 games (seven starts) for the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Winston threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The veteran gunslinger profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against the Packers.
Nov 14, 2025 3:11 PM EST
New York Giants head coach Mike Kafka said on Friday that he thinks rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is "on track" with where he's supposed to be in the league's concussion protocol, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Dart was seen warming up with the team on the field in practice on Friday, which is a good sign that he might be cleared to play in Week 12 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he will not be available to play this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Veteran QB Jameis Winston, not Russell Wilson, will make the start in Week 11, and he's expected to be without receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring). Fantasy managers will be hoping that Dart will end up missing just one game. The rookie first-rounder has immediately become fantasy relevant as a QB1 because of his dual-threat abilities at the position.
Nov 14, 2025 1:11 PM EST
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and will not start against the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 11 on Sunday, according to interim head coach Mike Kafka. Veteran Jameis Winston, not Russell Wilson, will start under center for the G-Men this weekend with Dart sidelined. The 22-year-old signal-caller suffered a concussion in last Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears and will have to miss at least one game. Given their record, the Giants will likely play it safe with their first-round QB, so it probably won't be a lock that Dart returns to start in Week 12 on the road against the Detroit Lions. Before his concussion in Week 10, Dart had injected life into New York's offense and had become a QB1 option for fantasy managers because of his rushing abilities, scoring seven rushing touchdowns in his first nine games. Keep Dart stashed everywhere.
Nov 12, 2025 1:01 PM EST
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) was forced to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears after suffering a concussion. The injury puts Dart's status for New York's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers in question. The 22-year-old was having an excellent game against Chicago before getting injured, completing 19 of 29 pass attempts for 242 yards and adding 66 rushing yards and two touchdowns with his legs. Dart has six rushing touchdowns in his last five games played, establishing him as one of the premier dual-threat fantasy quarterbacks in the NFL. If he is sidelined in Week 11, the Giants could turn to veteran Russell Wilson or veteran Jameis Winston under center. Both quarterbacks would likely hold minimal fantasy appeal in a difficult matchup against Green Bay.
Nov 11, 2025 11:34 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was diagnosed with a concussion during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. He will not return. The rookie finishes the game with 19 completions, 242 passing yards, 66 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns. Russell Wilson has taken over at quarterback and will continue to lead the Giants' offense as they look to hold off a late comeback effort from Chicago. Looking forward, the Giants' next game is just seven days away, which doesn't leave a lot of time for Dart to clear concussion protocol. We could see Wilson earn the start in Week 11 against Green Bay.
Nov 9, 2025 3:53 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (head) was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. At the time of his departure, he had 241 passing yards, 67 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns. The rookie quarterback has played very clean football against the Bears, leading the Giants to a one-possession lead in the fourth quarter. Russell Wilson has taken over under center and will look to preserve (or extend) New York's lead over Chicago.
Nov 9, 2025 3:29 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for the Week 10 road matchup against the Chicago Bears due to his elite rushing production, despite a limited receiving corps. Currently the 17th-ranked fantasy QB, Dart averages a solid 18.48 fantasy points per game, significantly buoyed by his impressive five rushing touchdowns on the season. This week's opponent, the Bears, presents an appealing matchup for dual-threat quarterbacks, as they are the 26th-ranked fantasy defense against QBs, allowing an average of 19.66 points per game. Furthermore, Chicago's pass defense has been susceptible, allowing an average of 237.6 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns through eight games, confirming Dart as a strong QB1 with significant upside.
Nov 8, 2025 1:39 AM EST
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.
Nov 2, 2025 7:17 PM EST
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.
Nov 1, 2025 2:38 AM EST
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.
Oct 25, 2025 12:21 PM EST
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.
Oct 22, 2025 11:18 AM EST
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.
