Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Jaxson Dart

Sunday, October 5, 7:07 PM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 32 of 46 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He took five sacks but also rushed for 26 yards. Although the Jets are 0-5 this season, Fields has been quite productive from a fantasy perspective. In the three games where he has been fully healthy, Fields is averaging 28.2 fantasy points. He has seven total touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, though he also has two lost fumbles to his name. We've known about his rushing ability for quite some time, but we're also starting to see flashes of what he can do throwing the football -- even if it comes in garbage time. The Ohio State product is a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 for Week 6 against a strong Denver Broncos defense.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was removed from the injury report on Wednesday and will play on Thursday night in Week 6 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. The 22-year-old first-rounder came out of the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints with a sore left hamstring, but it was never really viewed as anything serious, even heading into a short week. Dart upset the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4 in his first NFL start, but he took a step back and committed three turnovers on Sunday to give the Saints their first win of the season. There are going to be plenty of ups and downs for Dart in his rookie season, especially with top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the year. Dart's dual-threat abilities give him upside as a QB2 in fantasy, although he'll be one to fade against a tough Eagles defense that is coming off their first loss of the year.
