Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jaxson Dart

Sunday, November 23, 5:24 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 36 pass attempts for 366 yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Detroit Lions. He also got involved in some trickery, adding a third touchdown on a 33-yard reception that was thrown to him by wide receiver Gunner Olszewski. Winston's turnover and low completion rate were unfortunate, but his high yardage and three total touchdowns made him a valuable fantasy option once again. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who were relying on him as a streamer, Winston will head back to the bench in Week 13 if Jaxson Dart (concussion) clears concussion protocol, as expected. The offense belongs to Dart once again, but at least we've seen that Winston can be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback if he ever gets thrust back into the starting role.

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.
