Dart scored 21.4 Fantasy points in Week 8 at Philadelphia, and he has now scored at least 19.6 points in all five starts he's made this season. He's getting quality production on the ground with either a rushing touchdown or 55 rushing yards in all five games, and he might have to use his legs more with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. The 49ers have allowed three of the past four quarterbacks to score at least 23.6 Fantasy points, and Dart should be considered a low-end starting option in all leagues in Week 9.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Another rushing TD in Week 8 loss
Rotowire
Dart completed 14 of 24 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles.
Dart tossed an 18-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to Cam Skattebo, who later left the game due to a dislocated ankle. The Giants' offense didn't get much going after that, though Dart also had a would-be 68-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton in the fourth quarter nullified by a questionable offensive pass interference call. Dart tacked on a two-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, giving the rookie first-round pick a rushing score in four of his first five starts. His rushing upside will keep Dart fantasy-relevant in Week 9 against the 49ers despite the Giants' depleted supporting cast on offense.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Dart has scored at least 19.6 Fantasy points in all four starts this season, including 25.6 points against the Eagles in Week 6. He only had 195 passing yards in that game, but he passed for a touchdown and added 58 rushing yards and a score. Dart has rushed for either 55 yards or a touchdown in all four starts, and he's worth using as a low-end starter in the rematch at Philadelphia. Three of the past four quarterbacks against the Eagles have scored at least 19.9 Fantasy points, and Dart should stay in that range once again in Week 8.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Falls short despite four TDs
Rotowire
Dart completed 15 of 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while taking five carries for 11 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.
It was a crushing loss for the Giants, considering Dart pushed his fourth touchdown of the contest across the goal line with 40 seconds left in regulation, only to watch a missed extra-point attempt open the door for the Broncos to come back and win it with a field goal as time expired. The rookie signal-caller finished with his worst completion percentage (45.5) as a pro, but he offset the inefficiency with new highs in passing yards (283) and total touchdowns (four). Dart's fourth and final trip to the end zone came as a rusher, which helped offset a season-low five rush attempts Sunday. The Ole Miss product will attempt to overcome another tough defensive matchup when the Giants visit the Eagles next Sunday. Dart generated 23.6 standard fantasy points when these two teams met in New York back in Week 6.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Dart has scored at least 19.6 Fantasy points in all three starts this season, and he just had his best outing in Week 6 against Philadelphia with 25.6 points. He's rushed for at least 54 yards in all three starts, including two rushing touchdowns, and he's been fun to watch since taking over for Russell Wilson in Week 4. But Dart should struggle in Week 7 at Denver, and the Broncos are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Denver also has been fantastic against mobile quarterbacks in holding Daniel Jones, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, and Justin Fields to a combined 17 carries for 42 yards and a touchdown. We'll see if Dart can make plays through the air against the Broncos, but without his rushing prowess, it could be a long day for the rookie on the road.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: One To Stash (QB Preview)
Rotowire
There is no way I am starting Dart against the Broncos. There is no way I am dropping Dart either. He's shown us the profile of a must-start Fantasy QB, but a lot of that has been with his legs, and the Broncos have bottled up running QBs all year. Stash Dart for one more week, or pick him up if he is still available in your league.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I don't want to start Dart in Week 7 at Denver. The Broncos are great against mobile quarterbacks, and Dart should struggle in this matchup on the road. After this week, Dart faces the Eagles, 49ers and Bears for what should be a solid three-game stretch. The rematch against Philadelphia might be tough on the road, but Dart just scored 25.6 Fantasy points against the Eagles in Week 6. He has at least 19.6 Fantasy points in all three starts, and he's run for at least 54 yards in each outing, with two rushing touchdowns. Moving forward, Dart could be a low-end starter in all leagues, and he should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Two total TDs in upset win
Rotowire
Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding 13 carries for 58 yards and another score during the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Dart recorded the first signature win of his nascent career with a standout, mistake-free performance. The dynamic rookie got off to a blistering start by helping lead two first-quarter touchdown drives, possessions he capped off with a 20-yard scoring run and a 35-yard strike to Wan'Dale Robinson. Dart went on to lead three more scoring drives in the upset, and he navigated a brief third-quarter exit to be checked for a concussion to finish out the upset victory without incident. Dart has already shown considerable promise in his first three starts while recording a pair of victories in the process. but he'll get quite the test in a Week 7 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Being examined in medical tent
Rotowire
Dart exited Thursday's game against the Eagles with an apparent upper-body injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Dart was attempting to escape pressure late in the third quarter and suffered a series of hard hits to his head and shoulder area. He ran off the field under his own power but straight into the medical tent. Russell Wilson replaced him to complete the drive, though Dart was spotted with his helmet on the sideline during the Eagles' next offensive possession.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: In clear for Thursday night game
Rotowire
Dart (hamstring) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Though Tuesday's session wasn't conducted at full speed, Dart didn't face any limitations and looks to be ready to play Thursday against the Eagles. Head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged as much prior to the walkthrough, telling Evan Barnes of Newsday that Dart's sore left hamstring wasn't viewed as much of a concern, even on a short week. After leading the Giants to an impressive win over the Chargers in his first NFL start in Week 4, Dart took a step back in a disappointing loss to the previously winless Saints in Week 5, committing three turnovers on the afternoon. However, Dart still managed to produce a fantasy friendly line in the loss, throwing for 202 yards and two scores while adding 55 yards on seven carries.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Estimated as limited Monday

Dart (hamstring) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants didn't actually practice but were required to release an estimation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles. Dart dealt with the hamstring issue in practice last week but was able to play Sunday against the Saints. He should be under center for Thursday night's divisional tilt.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Full practice confirmed
Rotowire
Dart (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Dart emerged from his first NFL start this past Sunday versus the Chargers with a hamstring injury after taking five sacks during a 13-for-20 passing performance and two total touchdowns (one passing, one rushing). Prior to Wednesday's session, coach Brian Daboll told Dan Duggan of The Athletic that Dart wouldn't be limited, which has come to pass. Dart thus will resume his standing as the Giants' No. 1 signal-caller as the team prepares for Sunday's game at New Orleans.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: One To Stash (QB Preview)
Rotowire
Even with the loss of Malik Nabers, I still want to stash Dart as he develops. The game plan in Week 4 was extremely conservative, with 42 rush attempts, but there will be plenty of games coming where the Giants are forced to throw more often. In four-point per pass touchdown leagues, Dart could have some stream appeal in the second half of the season when the schedule gets a little bit easier.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Dart would be first on this list if Malik Nabers (ACL) was healthy, but it stinks that Dart won't have Nabers available for the rest of his rookie season. Hopefully, the rest of the receivers for the Giants -- Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, Theo Johnson, and the running backs -- can help Dart make enough plays to be a borderline starter in all leagues, especially in Week 5 against the Saints. And he's going to run, which is exciting, since he had 10 carries for 54 yards against the Chargers in Week 4. After Week 5, things get rough for Dart with three games against the Eagles twice and Denver, but he might be able to surprise us. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Leads team to win in first start
Rotowire
Dart completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers. He added 54 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.
Making his first NFL start, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 Draft led the Giants to their first win of the year, scampering for a 15-yard TD on the team's first drive and then hitting Theo Johnson for a three-yard score -- Dart's first career passing touchdown -- in the third quarter. Despite the positive result in the standings, it was not an entirely encouraging performance from the young QB. New York's porous offensive line allowed Dart to be sacked five times and take plenty of other hits, and, per Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports, he had to leave the field briefly to be checked for a concussion. In worse news for the Giants and Dart, Malik Nabers left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury that's feared to be a torn ACL. If Nabers is lost for the season, or misses any time at all, Dart would have arguably the weakest group of pass catchers in the league at his disposal for a trip to New Orleans in Week 5.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Officially named starting QB
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Dart will be the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, beginning with Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Dart will take over under center Week 4 while Russell Wilson transitions to a backup role, Adam Schefter of ESPN confirms, and the Giants don't intend to consider any further pivots. The first test for Dart will be difficult, as the Chargers' defense is one of only four units in the NFL that has allowed two total passing touchdowns across the first three weeks of the regular season. There are reasons to be optimistic about Dart's fantasy upside, namely due to his dual-threat capabilities, plus the presence of difference-making No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers and a capable safety valve in Wan'Dale Robinson, but fantasy managers will likely want to wait for the rookie signal-caller to either prove himself before trusting him in weekly lineups, or wait for a more favorable matchup such as Week 5 against the Saints.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Taking over as starting QB
Rotowire
The Giants are planning to start Dart at quarterback on Sunday against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The writing was on the wall for this one after coach Brian Daboll on Monday refused to commit to Russell Wilson as his starter. Through three games, Wilson had completed a career-low 59.1 percent of his pass attempts for 778 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. All three of his touchdown passes came in Week 2 against the Cowboys, when Wilson threw for 450 yards. Outside of that game, Wilson completed just 35 of 69 passes (50.7 percent) for 328 yards (4.8 yards per attempt), zero scores and two INTs. The 0-3 Giants need a spark, and Dart will aim to provide one after he looked great during the preseason, completing 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also rushed six times for 52 yards and a fourth score. Dart gets a tough test against the Chargers in Week 4, but his upside is immense as a dual-threat quarterback working with a legit No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers and a reliable possession option in Wan'Dale Robinson.

Giants' Jaxson Dart: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Giants will stick with Russell Wilson for Week 2 at Dallas, but another down performance for Wilson like he had against Washington in Week 1 will usher in the Dart Era in New York. Dart is a must-add in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues where available for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB, and he could be worth adding in deeper one-quarterback formats as well for 1 percent. If he takes over for the Giants then maybe everyone offensively will benefit, but having a healthy left tackle in Andrew Thomas (foot) is needed for whoever starts under center against the Cowboys.
