Who Should I Start? Geno Smith or Jaxson Dart

The Athletic's Tashan Reed writes that so far this offseason, things have gone smoothly as Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly have acclimated to one another. "Geno's literally like a second coach," Kelly said. "When you're in that room with him and Greg Olson, there's a lot of ideas going around. And then it's just a matter of corralling it. Because sometimes you can have too many ideas. Like, let's try to do a million things, and then you don't get good at one thing. But his football acumen is really off the charts, and it's impressive to be around him." Under Kelly, the Raiders want their offense to remain amorphous with flexibility to apply to their personnel groupings. Kelly is well-known for operating with plenty of wideouts, but Vegas also plans to use multi-tight-end sets frequently. Smith has a better TE to work with, but his weapons overall will be a downgrade from his last few years in Seattle. Consider him a high-end QB2/low-end QB1 in fantasy in his new digs.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has impressed the team and coaches early on in his tenure. Rapoport also noted that the 22-year-old appears to be the franchise's quarterback of the future, and it's a matter of when, not if, he takes the field. Veteran teammate Russell Wilson is still expected to be the Giants' opening day starter. However, Dart is reportedly further along than initially anticipated. The first-year pro will still have fellow signal-caller Jameis Winston to contend with if things go south with Wilson early on. Although having Dart sit for the entirety of his rookie campaign wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. For now, he's a more intriguing asset in dynasty formats, but that could change if he's called upon in 2025.
