Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Jaxson Dart

Thursday, August 14, 9:54 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones was picked off twice in 16 pass attempts by the Green Bay Packers' defense during the joint practice between the two teams on Thursday, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Boyd writes that the "Colts' offense was overwhelmed by the Packers' defense" and "the dink-and-dunk offense (Jones) was commanding was far from fruitful." Jones is competing with Anthony Richardson Sr. for the QB1 role in Indianapolis, but both quarterbacks are reportedly struggling in training camp. Jones is starting the Colts' second preseason game against the Packers on Saturday. The 28-year-old has mostly been a non-factor in fantasy throughout his six-year NFL career, which should be expected to continue if he does indeed win the starting job in Indianapolis.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart made his preseason debut Saturday and turned heads in a 34-25 win over the Buffalo Bills. Dart, not veteran backup Jameis Winston, entered the game after the Giants pulled starter Russell Wilson in the first quarter. The 25th overall pick from Ole Miss stayed in for the rest of the first half and hit on 12 of 19 pass attempts for 154 yards, including a beautifully thrown 28-yard touchdown to Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Dart also used his legs effectively, adding 24 rushing yards on three attempts. There was a lot to like about Dart's NFL debut, but if the Giants have their way, he'll spend the first year of his career learning from the bench before potentially assuming the starting role in 2026. He'll make his next preseason appearance on Saturday against the Jets.
