Who Should I Start? Tre Tucker or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, November 1, 5:17 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has not found consistency due to Geno Smith's struggles to adapt with his new team. Tucker has failed to eclipse 10 fantasy points in five of his seven games this year, but has high upside against a bottom-ten fantasy defense against opposing receivers this season. The Jaguars dynamic linebacker Devin Lloyd (calf) is questionable, while defensive backs Eric Murray (neck) and Travis Hunter (knee) are out. With so many injury concerns in Jacksonville, Tucker could emerge as a sneaky Week 9 flex play.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for his sixth NFL start, primarily due to his aggressive rushing ability, evidenced by six rushing touchdowns in just five games and a 16.96 fantasy points per game average. This week's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense is favorable, as they rank 31st in the NFL with only nine sacks, which should give Dart ample time to utilize his dual-threat skills. Despite losing key weapons, Dart can exploit the 49ers' passing defense, which has allowed 229.3 passing yards and 13 passing touchdowns on the season. Given the opponent's low pass-rush pressure and Dart's rushing floor, he is a solid QB2 start, capable of exceeding the 16.51 fantasy points per game the 49ers allow to quarterbacks.
