Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Jaxson Dart

Sunday, December 14, 3:12 PM

Per the team, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (back, illness) will be active for Week 15's home matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Fresh off a bye week, the fantasy stalwart gave owners a scare after coming down with an illness. A late-week back issue offered no solace, but it appears that McCaffrey will be out there despite just one full practice this week. Fantasy managers can exhibit no worries slotting him into their lineups, as it doesn't appear he's in any danger of playing less than his typical allotment of snaps. McCaffrey is an elite RB1 option, and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR RB1 in this week's rankings.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart came out of the team's bye to throw for 246 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on 20-for-36 passing in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders. Dart added nine rushing attempts for 63 yards on the ground and was sacked one time for a loss of eight yards. The 22-year-old dual-threat signal-caller was checked for a concussion yet again after already missing two games due to a head injury, but thankfully, he was cleared to re-enter the game. Fantasy managers have to like what they've seen from Dart in his first NFL season due to his abilities with his arm and his legs, but Sunday's game was the fifth time already in 2025 that he's been checked for a concussion. The risk/reward with Dart is very real because of his willingness to put his body in harm's way. The Ole Miss product will once again have clear QB1 upside in Week 16 versus the Vikings.
