23-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
New York Giants
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The 25th pick in last year's draft, Dart was named the Giants’ starter by Week 4. He finished QB13 in fantasy despite starting just 12 games, with unexpected rushing production bolstering his value. Ranking top three among QBs in both rushing yards (487) and TDs (9), the rookie was quick to run under pressure -- 10.1 percent scramble run rate (2nd) -- and didn't shy away from contact. It was the ideal approach for fantasy production, until Dart missed two games midseason with a concussion (he was also checked for head injuries a couple of other times). The Giants will try to temper that some this season, but Dart still figures to get plenty of rush attempts relative to other QBs. The bigger question is the passing game, where Dart averaged just 189.3 yards on 28.3 attempts (6.7 YPA) in his 12 starts. He threw 10-plus yards downfield at a good clip (34.2%, 10th), but completed just 39.7 percent of those throws (30th), struggling to connect with subpar wide receivers after Malik Nabers tore an ACL in Dart’s first start. The receiving corps will improve in a hurry if Nabers returns healthy, and it'd also help if 6-foot-4 rookie Malachi Fields is worth what the Giants traded to move up for him in the third round. New York also signed WR Darnell Mooney, who could be a decent deep threat, and TE Isaiah Likely, who new head coach John Harbaugh brought with him from Baltimore. With Harbaugh and new OC Matt Nagy calling shots, Dart should at least have more stability after a roller-coaster rookie season. Read Past Outlooks

Plays two series in preseason opener
QBNew York Giants
August 15, 2026
Dart completed three of four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 13-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
The second-year quarterback started the Giants' exhibition opener and saw work on the first two possessions. He was briefly evaluated in the blue medical tent after taking a hit when running back Tyrone Tracy missed a block in the first quarter, but he re-entered the contest. He proceeded to finish off his day with an off-balance 15-yard touchdown toss to rookie wideout Malachi Fields as Dart scrambled out of the pocket to avoid pressure. Dart didn't pick up any yards on the ground, continuing a focus on reining in the reckless playing style that led to him being checked for concussions on five separate occasions in 2025. He should still do damage with his legs once the regular season begins after gaining 487 rushing yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie, but with more skill-position talent around him on the roster and better protection from an upgraded offensive line, Dart may not feel compelled to scramble as often in 2026.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Giants traded three picks to move up to select Dart 25th overall in this year’s draft. He'll likely get time to develop behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, though a training camp competition isn't entirely out of the question. Dart completed 69.3 percent of his passes at Ole Miss last season and led the FBS with 10.8 YPA. It was the third straight year in which his completion percentage, YPA and passer rating all improved from the previous season, and also his third straight year with at least 389 rushing yards. At 6-foot-2, 224, Dart moves well for his size but is sometimes too eager to scramble, and he may not be fast enough for his college rushing production to translate to the pros (he didn't run a 40-yard dash). He has a quick release with solid velocity, but the Ole Miss offense didn't always require full-field reads, and scouts said he often struggled when forced off his initial read. The biggest issue, though, might be his lack of an elite skill or trait. Nevertheless, the Giants hope a rookie apprenticeship will help the 22-year-old become their franchise QB.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Up-and-down camp continues
QBNew York Giants
August 5, 2026
Dart has had multiple uneven practices in training camp, including Wednesday against the Giants' second-team defense, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dart had a stellar opening practice of camp last Wednesday, but he's endured his share of struggles since. Ranaan reports Dart threw a pair of early interceptions Wednesday before bouncing back with three touchdown passes in team drills and two rushing scores in red-zone drills. Dart has had to operate without No. 1 receiver Malik Nabers since the star wideout is still limited to individual drills after last season's ACL tear, which certainly accounts for at least some of the second-year quarterback's inconsistency.
