Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Jaxson Dart

Tuesday, November 25, 11:21 AM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold avoided mistakes and delivered another efficient performance in a Week 12 win over the Tennessee Titans, completing 16 of 26 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. After turning it over seven times in the past two games, Darnold took advantage of a poor Titans defense and put up his best fantasy performance since eviscerating the Washington Commanders for 330 yards and four touchdowns in Week 9. The 28-year-old repeatedly looked for superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba and delivered a few beautiful deep balls for explosive gains, including a 63-yard touchdown. Darnold likely shouldn't be viewed as an every-week starter for fantasy purposes due to the low pass volume and poor track record against top-flight defenses. But he gets a revenge spot in Week 13 against his former team, the Minnesota Vikings.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Dart has now fully practiced two days in a row and is expected to lead the Giants' offense on Monday night against the New England Patriots. He will return to action for the first time since Week 10 while Jameis Winston backs him up. The 22-year-old has been fantastic this season, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores over nine games. Dart can be used as a streamer for Week 13 and is ranked 12th among all quarterbacks in the latest RotoBaller rankings.
