New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart hopes to build on his stellar Week 1 performance against the Los Angeles Rams. Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns, and added 54 yards on 11 carries in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Through 13 career starts, Dart has averaged 20.7 fantasy points per game and looked even more polished as a passer in Week 1. Under new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and with a strong receiving core featuring Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, Dart should remain a prolific fantasy option. He faces a Rams defense that allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025 but struggled to contain Brock Purdy and the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. Despite the Rams' talented defense, Dart's supporting cast and rushing floor make him a must-start QB1 in Week 2 as he looks to keep his hot streak going.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns, and added 54 yards on 11 carries in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Despite concerns about Dallas' improved defense and the Giants' run-heavy offense, Dart was surgical in Week 1. Dart ranks second in the NFL in completion percentage (79.3%), second in passer rating (134.2), and second among quarterbacks in rushing yards through Week 1. With Malik Nabers (knee) active and tight end Isaiah Likely producing elite numbers in Week 1, Dart has the best supporting cast of his career and is maintaining an elite rushing floor. Moving forward, Dart is a mid-tier QB1 and appears to be a breakout candidate to watch this season.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart opens his second NFL season in primetime as the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys. In 12 starts last season, Dart completed 216 of 339 passes for 2,272 yards, with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also added 86 carries for 487 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging over 20 fantasy points per game in his starts. While there are question marks surrounding offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Dart's rushing ability, the potential return of Malik Nabers, and improvements across the offense could lead to a breakout season for Dart. He faces a Cowboys defense that allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. However, Dallas has a new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker and has made several additions, including Rashan Gary and rookie Caleb Downs. While this Giants' offense could take time to develop, Dart still offers elite upside in an ideal Week 1 matchup.--Nathan Harvey

The New York Giants have signed guard Jon Runyan to a two-year, $22 million contract extension, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The deal includes $21.5 million guaranteed. Runyan provided key protection to Jaxson Dart last season, posting an 84.5 PFF pass-blocking grade. However, he needs to improve in run blocking, where his PFF grade dropped to a woeful mark of 49.1. The veteran lineman was slated to hit free agency next offseason, so the new deal will tack on one additional year. Having him under contract for two more years will provide some stability within a revamped offensive line that will be tasked with keeping Dart and Cam Skattebo upright.--Andersen Pickard

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston has agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract extension, according to Jordan Schultz. The new deal keeps Winston with the Giants through the 2028 season after he originally signed a two-year, $8 million contract with New York in 2025. Schultz reports that Winston has become an important part of the quarterback room as a leader and in the development of starter Jaxson Dart, with the organization viewing him as the best backup quarterback in football. Winston appeared in three games last season and made two starts, completing 37 of 66 passes for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dart remains firmly established as New York's starter, but the Giants now have their experienced No. 2 locked in for several more seasons.--Bruno Mulé

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is reportedly gaining confidence in his second year in the Giants' offense, according to Darryl Slater of NJ.com. Dart even looks back to this spring and says he already notices a difference in camp this fall. "I feel so much better," Dart said of where he's at now, compared to the spring. "I feel in command. I feel confident. In this offense, there's a lot that's put on the quarterback's plate, but it's exactly how I want it. It's exactly how I viewed this coming together." The Giants' new offense is led by offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and head coach John Harbaugh, and it already feels like a good fit for Dart. Last season, Dart was 216-for-339 passing for 2,272 yards and 15 touchdowns with five interceptions. He also rushed 86 times for 487 yards and nine touchdowns. Dart looks like a nice risk at the quarterback position in drafts with league-winning upside because of his rushing ability.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart feels "in command" for Week 1 despite going nearly a month without live game action, according to Patricia Traina of Sports Illustrated. Dart attempted four passes in the Giants' preseason opener Aug. 15, but then head coach John Harbaugh kept him sidelined for the final two preseason contests. As a result, nearly a month will separate his last live game action from the Giants' season opener Sept. 13. While that long absence may raise some question marks, especially in a new offensive system, Harbaugh explained the decision was rooted in minimizing injury risk and the confidence he has in the quarterback's work ethic during practice. Dart himself added that he felt like he has been able to prepare for the regular season by playing against the Giants' starting defense in practice. "I feel so much better," Dart said. "I feel in command. I feel confident. In this offense, there's a lot that's put on the quarterback's plate, but it's exactly how I want it. It's exactly how I viewed this coming together." All signs point to Dart making a Year 2 leap. He was the overall QB14 despite making just 12 starts last season, so he has legitimate top-eight fantasy upside in 2026 if he can stay healthy for the full year. As it stands, he has an ADP of 103, which makes him the 11th quarterback off the board.--Andersen Pickard

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has the potential to rank as a top-12 fantasy quarterback for the 2026 season. Dart impressed as a rookie last season, tallying 2,272 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also tallied 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. The rushing productivity did most of the heavy lifting in Dart's fantasy ranking, but the return of wide receiver Malik Nabers also helped. Nabers is working his way back from an ACL tear, and his availability has propped up his quarterback's fantasy outlook for the upcoming season. Dart is now healthy, and there's no sign that he'll need to miss any time in 2026. With the clean bill of health headed his way, we expect Dart to run the football just as much as he did last year, even if doing so comes with inherent risk. Managers will cross their fingers and hope that that risk pays off with Dart finishing the year as a QB1 in fantasy football.--Andersen Pickard

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart has found a groove in practice after a slow start to training camp. On Wednesday, Dart completed multiple deep passes, including a 35-yarder to veteran Odell Beckham Jr. and an off-script 40+ yard pass to Darnell Mooney between two defenders. He also excelled in the goal-line period, throwing for four touchdowns and running one in on eight plays. While Dart struggled early in camp, with multiple pre-snap penalties and mistakes, the second-year quarterback has put on a show. Currently ranked QB13 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Dart offers immense upside, given his running ability and the return of star receiver Malik Nabers for the 2026 season.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is "puzzled" about how he finds his way into the blue tent every time he takes a hit, according to Giants beat writer Pat Leonard. The Giants quarterback respects the NFL players' safety efforts, but "still trying to wrap my head around," said Dart. He went to the medical tent during Saturday's game against the Vikings after taking a big hit from safety Jay Ward. According to Dart, a miscommunication in protection led to the big hit. The 23-year-old stayed in the game after a brief exit to the medical tent and led the Giants to their first score of the game by connecting with wide receiver Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown. Dart finished the game with 26 passing yards on four passing attempts and a touchdown before being pulled. The 2025 first-round pick made several trips to the medical tent in his rookie season as he dealt with concussions. Dart appears to have avoided any injury and should be fine to play in the Giants' second preseason game against the Dolphins.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart briefly left Saturday's preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings after taking a big hit from safety Jay Ward. Connor Hughes reported that Dart was slow getting up after Tyrone Tracy Jr. missed the block, and the Giants' medical staff eventually pulled him from the game despite Dart initially trying to stay in. He was taken to the blue medical tent for an evaluation, but the scare didn't last long. Dart was cleared to return and came back onto the field on New York's next possession. He then connected with rookie Malachi Fields for a 15-yard touchdown pass. Dart dealt with several concussion evaluations during his rookie season, making any trip to the medical tent noteworthy. The good news Saturday is that he was quickly cleared and able to resume playing.--Bruno Mulé

The New York Giants open their preseason schedule with a Saturday afternoon matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, and ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports that quarterback Jaxson Dart and most of the team's starters are expected to see action. New head coach John Harbaugh said earlier this week that he values game experience in the preseason, and with Dart having only 12 career starts under his belt and the Giants offense reportedly sputtering through much of training camp, he could use the opportunity against an unfamiliar opponent to help build momentum. Priority number one for Dart will be to keep himself protected, as he has developed a reputation for playing somewhat recklessly, but that fight-for-every-yard approach has also made him a valuable fantasy asset. If the Giants offense can get on track, and Dart can stay healthy for the duration of the 2026 season, he could prove to be this season's late-round quarterback steal, currently coming off the board as the QB9.--Patrick McGrath

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart ended a third-down run during Monday's practice with a slide along the sideline, drawing an unexpected reaction from the defense, who actually applauded his effort to avoid contact. Defensive captain Brian Burns spoke with reporters after practice and explained the unusual moment. "We've been begging him to do that for a while," he shared. "So, I'm glad that he's starting to practice it." After taking over as starter in Week 4 of his rookie season, Dart was the fantasy QB8 on a per-game basis, but he missed two games with a concussion. His elite rushing upside makes him an attractive mid-round quarterback in 2026, but an at-times-reckless play style dating back to his time in college will always put him at risk of missing time, so the self-preservation shown on Monday was a welcome sight for Giants fans, players, and fantasy managers alike.--Patrick McGrath

New York Giants second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart has struggled early on in training camp while learning the team's new offense under head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, but Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports that Dart had his best practice of camp on Friday. He looked "much more decisive vs. pressure" and made the "proper reads." The football hit the ground only once on the final drive-the-field period against a mix of first- and second-team defenders. To cap it off, Dart hit receiver Darius Slayton for a touchdown. The 23-year-old former first-rounder from Ole Miss has the high-end dual-threat abilities to become a strong QB1 option for fantasy managers sooner rather than later. He quickly took over the Giants' starting QB job in 2025 and threw for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 14 games (12 starts), adding 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground to finish as the QB14 in fantasy. New York's expected run-first offense in 2026 could cap Dart's fantasy upside, but at the very least, he should be considered a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 for his rushing upside.--Keith Hernandez
