Jaxson Dart 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Take Over Giants QB1 Job Likely Soon
The New York Giants traded back up into the first round to draft quarterback Jaxson Dart, who will likely take over the starting job by midseason this year. While the team also signed QB Russell Wilson in the offseason, his play has declined markedly since his glory years with the Seahawks, owing to his reduced mobility and unwillingness to challenge defenders in the middle of the field. Wilson likes to pad his stats by taking check downs, chucking the ball deep, and taking a million sacks rather than throw to parts of the field where he's more likely to risk an interception. That's part of the reason his touchdown to interception ratio looks so good every year, but that he's not a priority free agent. The biggest problem for Wilson is that stud WR Malik Nabers excels in the intermediate areas of the field. Wilson will likely be benched for Dart, who is the best QB prospect in this year's class. Year 1 may be tough for him, as he's a young player and the team has offensive line issues and doesn't have a great WR corps outside of Nabers. But he will probably at least be the starter by Week 9, and he has the talent to develop into a quality starter.
