Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Jaxson Dart

Sunday, August 10, 1:34 AM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 3-of-4 passes for 42 yards in Saturday's 30-10 road win over the Green Bay Packers. He added 14 yards and a touchdown on two carries. Fields looked comfortable in New York's preseason opener, displaying his dual-threat ability on an 11-play, 79-yard touchdown drive capped with a 13-yard scamper. The former first-round pick didn't exactly open it up, with all four of his targets coming within ten yards of the line of scrimmage. Nonetheless, it's an encouraging debut for him, although it's worth noting that he didn't look to be running at his full capacity quite yet. Expect the Ohio State product to get a longer leash in his team's next outing, which comes against their cross-town rivals, the "hosting" New York Giants, next Saturday.

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.
