Who Should I Start? Taysom Hill or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, October 18, 12:43 AM

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill recorded just one carry for one yard in the Week 6 loss to the Patriots, but it was enough for the 35-year-old Swiss Army knife to find the end zone. This was only his second game back since tearing his ACL in Week 13 of 2024, and so far he's logged seven carries for zero yards and a touchdown while also completing his lone pass attempt for 19 yards in Week 5. Hill remains one of the most unpredictable players in football, but a favorable matchup against a Bears defense allowing 156.4 rushing yards per game could give him a spark. He ranks as a TE2 with week-winning upside if he sees enough opportunities across the board.

Since taking over as his team's starter in Week 4, New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has flashed significant fantasy upside. In four starts, the 22-year-old has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. Perhaps most encouragingly, Dart has rushed for 178 yards and three scores on 37 attempts so far this season. Dart's ability to use his legs appears to be a feature of his game, as he's rushed for at least 50 yards or a touchdown in three out of four starts. Dart profiles as a low-end starter in single-quarterback formats and a must-start player in two-quarterback formats heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
