Questions about Jaxson Dart or the Giants?

Jaxson Dart Today

HEYTC AI
Jaxson Dart's rookie season ended on a high note despite the Giants' disappointing 4-13 campaign, as the former Ole Miss standout proved he's the franchise's quarterback of the future. In Week 18, Dart threw two touchdown passes—29 yards to Daniel Bellinger and 13 yards to Tyrone Tracy—in a victory that showcased the promise he's shown all season despite working with an injury-riddled roster. Over 14 games, Dart completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,272 yards with a 15-5 TD/INT ratio while adding nearly 500 rushing yards and nine more scores on the ground, earning him a spot on The Athletic's All-Rookie team. With 24 total touchdowns—seven more than first overall pick Cam Ward—Dart has given the Giants confidence to build around him, and the team is unlikely to draft a quarterback with the fifth overall pick, making him HeyTC's #30-ranked quarterback heading into 2026. The question now is whether new offensive weapons can arrive to help Dart elevate the Giants' struggling offense in his sophomore season.

Should I Keep Jaxson Dart?

HEYTC AI
DUMP 6/10 Confidence (Medium)

Dart flashed competence as a rookie starter on a bad Giants team, but his 2025 production profile (low volume, middling yardage, modest TDs) does not yet point to high-end fantasy upside. In standard 1QB dynasty and shallow superflex formats, he profiles more as a speculative bench/stash than a priority keeper.

Low Trade Value
Career Trajectory: Rising

Only keep Dart if the cost is very low (late round or deep-roster superflex) and starting-caliber QBs are scarce; at any meaningful keeper cost (single-digit rounds or above replacement superflex QBs), it is more efficient to target higher-upside options or package Dart in a 2-for-1 upgrade.

Team Situation

The 2025 Giants were a 4-win, non-playoff team, indicating an unstable environment but also little short-term threat to Dart’s starting job as they rebuild around him. Expect at least near-term opportunity, but long-term stability depends on organizational changes and whether the Giants commit to him beyond his rookie window.

Long-term Factors
  • Rookie-year efficiency was solid for a bad offense (63.7% completions, 15 TDs, 5 INTs) but volume and yardage were limited, capping fantasy ceiling.
  • Giants’ 2025 struggles (4 wins) create risk of coaching or schematic changes but also virtually guarantee Dart more evaluation time as a cheap young starter.
  • Unknown rushing ceiling and lack of elite passing volume reduce his odds of becoming a top-12 dynasty QB without clear offensive upgrades.
