Jaxson Dart

After selecting edge rusher Abdul Carter No. 3 overall in last year's NFL Draft, the Giants traded back into the first round to grab Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss at No. 25. That move looks shrewd so far, as Dart acquitted himself extremely well in 12 starts last year despite having a skeleton crew of pass catchers following a season-ending injury to WR Malik Nabers. Dart completed 63.7% of his throws and averaged a respectable 6.7 yards per pass attempt, with 15 touchdown passes and five interceptions. Dart was dynamic as a runner, racking up 487 rushing yards and nine TD runs. But Dart was also a reckless runner at times. He took some hard hits, including one against the Bears in Week 10 that resulted in a concussion. But it's appealing to fantasy managers that Dart is such a willing and able runner. He should be regarded as a low-end QB1 in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Jaxson Dart completed 22 of 32 passes for 230 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, adding 32 yards on five carries in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Dart wrapped up his rookie campaign with yet another promising performance at the helm of the Giants offense. The former Ole Miss standout has given the Giants plenty of confidence build around him for the future. Over 14 games this season, Dart completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,272 yards and 15-5 TD/INT ratio. He also used his running ability to gain nearly 500 yards and account for another nine touchdowns. Dart is an extremely valuable dynasty or keeper-league piece, and he is sure to have his suitors in 2026 redraft formats as well.
