Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Jaxson Dart

Tuesday, October 28, 3:54 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence only led the team to one touchdown in their 35-7 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London in Week 7, but he also threw for a season-high 296 yards on 23-for-48 passing with one touchdown. The Jags were on bye last week, but now head into a favorable Week 9 matchup on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. The 26-year-old former first overall pick probably won't see as much volume this weekend as he did against the Rams in a positive game script, but he deserves streaming consideration at the QB position in fantasy against a Raiders defense that has been a top-15 matchup for opposing signal-callers this year. Lawrence's overall numbers don't jump off the page so far in his fifth NFL season, but his arrow could be pointing up in the second half of the season if he begins to start targeting rookie receiver Travis Hunter more often.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a dynamic player since taking over as his team's starter in Week 4. Across six games (four starts) this season, Dart has completed 60.2% of his pass attempts for 791 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He's been most impressive with his legs, rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns on 37 attempts. Dart and the Giants will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in Week 8, which marks the second time in the last three weeks that these two teams will square off. Dart played well in his first game against Philadelphia, recording 253 total yards and two touchdowns. However, it's worth noting that the Eagles played the entire game without star defensive lineman Jalen Carter and most of the game without top cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, both of whom will be active in Week 8. Dart's rushing ability gives him a safe fantasy floor, but he may have a difficult time as a passer in a tough road matchup. He profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 in Week 8 against the Eagles.
