Should I Start Jaxson Dart?

Thursday, June 25, 8:50 AM

New York Giants new head coach John Harbaugh said that second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart is "adjusting really well" to the new offensive scheme this offseason, according to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. Dart will be working mostly with new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, offensive assistant Greg Roman, and passing-game coordinator and QBs coach Brian Callahan as he looks to take the next step following an impressive rookie campaign in the Big Apple. Nagy has worked previously with Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, so Dart should be in good hands. However, under Harbaugh and Roman, the Giants almost certainly will lean more on the running game. The most important thing that Dart needs to work on is not exposing himself to big hits when he takes off as a runner. The 23-year-old former first-rounder out of Ole Miss took over as the Giants' starter early in 2025 and finished with 2,272 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 14 games (12 starts), adding 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 86 carries. Dart has clear high-end fantasy upside because of his dual-threat abilities as a runner and passer. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 12 fantasy QB going into 2026.
