Daniel Jones News
Friday, May 8, 6:24 PM
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) could take part in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities later this month, although the team will be cautious as he recovers from a torn right Achilles tendon, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. With Jones being limited, it will open the door for second-year QB Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson Sr. to see more reps this spring. Jones continues to rehab from his season-ending injury a year ago, and it was reported several weeks ago that he was dropping back and throwing passes. Because it's unclear as of now if Jones will be fully cleared for the start of the 2026 campaign this fall, Jones should be considered a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers despite his strong season in 2025 in his first year in Indy. The 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke completed a career-high 68% of his 384 pass attempts for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in his 13 starts before tearing his Achilles in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

Jaxson Dart News
Sunday, April 26, 5:49 AM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart brought a spark to the team as soon as he took over as the starter in Week 4, and while his fantasy-friendly play style as a rookie bordered on reckless at times, the team has taken strides to protect and build around their young signal caller. The Giants spent the 10th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Miami offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, who could make an immediate impact at guard or eventually develop into one of the best tackles from this class. They traded into the top of the third round to add Notre Dame's outside field-stretcher Malachi Fields, who will give Dart another downfield weapon after the free agent acquisition of Darnell Mooney. No move, though, will have a larger impact on Dart's year two growth than the return to health of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers. Nabers tore his ACL in Dart's first career start, so the two never had a chance to develop chemistry, but his 109 receptions as a rookie were a Giants single-season record. Dart is RotoBaller's dynasty QB10, but if he can learn to protect himself and make it through a full season, there's no reason he can't threaten for a top-five ranking as early as 2026.
