Elite Week 1 performance with 90.7 PFF grade; caught 5 passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, including 3 for 60 on the opening drive, showcasing high-end receiving upside in the new offense. Currently day-to-day with a rib injury per Jim Harbaugh.
Purdy's pass protection at 25% pressure rate shows dominant 49ers OL performance
49ers offensive line allowed pressures on only 25% of Purdy's dropbacks in Week 1 win over Rams; Rams generated quick pressure on just 5.7% of dropbacks, indicating dominant pass protection performance that mixed quick throws with strong line play.
Stafford calls Giants 'dangerous' ahead of Week 2 MNF matchup.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford assessed the Giants as a "dangerous" team heading into Week 2 Monday Night Football matchup, citing their defensive pass rush effectiveness against Dallas's talented receiving corps (CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens) and young QB Jaxson Dart's composed performance. Stafford's respect for the Giants' defensive capability and overall team composition suggests elevated matchup difficulty for the Rams offense, though the Rams are 7.5-point favorites per FanDuel.
Stafford praises Dart's Week 1 poise and mobility in Giants' upset win.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart received direct praise from opposing QB Matthew Stafford for his Week 1 performance against Dallas: "played really well, played within himself, made some plays with his feet." Stafford's assessment underscores Dart's composure and dual-threat capability in a high-pressure debut win (28-20 over Cowboys), suggesting the young starter has earned respect from NFL peers and may have established himself as a viable fantasy option in a Giants offense that Stafford characterized as "dangerous."
Fields: 4 targets, 2 catches, 25 yards; significant impact as run-game blocker in condensed sets.
Fields saw limited pass-catching work in Week 1, targeted four times for two catches and 25 yards (19 on one catch). He got behind the Dallas defense on one target but was overthrown by Dart on what could have been a huge play. However, Fields had significant impact as a blocker in the run game, particularly in Greg Roman's condensed sets where he was used as an extra tight end. In a 20-personnel set (two backs, no tight ends), Fields lined up with Braxton Berrios in the backfield and was asked to release to the second level to pick up linebacker Dee Winters, which he executed effectively. The Giants also used his frame as a downfield obstacle to create space for teammates in passing concepts.
Benson shows promise with 23-yard punt return; role expected to expand.
The sixth-round pick played seven offensive snaps and two on special teams in Week 1, recording one catch for eight yards on two targets, minus-8 yards on one carry, and a 23-yard punt return he nearly broke for a touchdown; the source sees his role growing soon.
Washington shows promise with 41 rushing yards; snap count expected to increase.
The fourth-round pick rushed for 41 yards on seven carries in Week 1, including an 18-yard run, playing on 13 offensive snaps; the source expects his snap count to grow depending on game plan.
Mendoza remains Kirk Cousins' backup; no Week 1 playing time despite top pick status.
The No. 1 overall pick from the 2026 draft class served as Kirk Cousins' backup in Week 1 and did not play; he was observed taking notes on the sideline.
Javonte Williams caught receiving touchdown in Week 1.
Scored a receiving touchdown in Week 1 against the Giants; offensive production in early-season game.
Tyrone Tracy Jr fumbled in Week 1 Giants-Cowboys game.
Fumbled in Week 1 game; turnover risk is a fantasy-relevant concern for the Giants' running back.
Williams bounced runs repeatedly against Giants' effective run defense.
Williams struggled in the Cowboys' rushing attack, consistently forced to bounce runs away from their intended destination by Giants' run defenders, particularly D.J. Reader. He also scored a receiving touchdown but was involved in a coverage mistake by Arvell Reese.
Tracy Jr.'s two-minute drill fumble was bailed out by Holland's interception.
Tracy Jr. fumbled in the two-minute drill, a play that was bailed out by Jevon Holland's interception. The fumble represented a critical mistake that could have changed the game's outcome.
Beckham's drag route on mesh concept helped create space for Likely's conversion.
Beckham ran the MUSH (man under) route on the third-and-4 mesh concept that resulted in Isaiah Likely's catch. His drag route, along with Singletary's flare, removed two defenders from the area, creating space in the middle of the field for the offense to operate.
Singletary featured in Nagy's second-half play-calling with creative spacing.
Singletary was featured in the Giants' second-half offensive sequence, benefiting from Nagy's play-calling that attacked soft leverage. After a blown screen play, Nagy used attention paid to Nabers to find Singletary in space, showcasing the offensive coordinator's ability to create favorable situations for the running back.
Ricard's 37 snaps and versatility were critical to Giants' physical offensive scheme.
Ricard played 37 snaps and was instrumental in the Giants' Week 1 victory, setting the tone and keeping the offense true to its physical philosophy. The fullback wore multiple hats effectively (fullback, H-back, tight end), allowing Nagy and Roman to blend 21/12/13 personnel in creative fashion. Ricard was entrusted to handle defensive ends in protection and handled rip moves well against elite pass rushers like Rashan Gary, giving Dart enough time to fire.
Skattebo is the perfect fit for Giants' physical rushing attack under Nagy.
Skattebo is the perfect back to complement the Giants' physical rushing approach under Matt Nagy and Greg Roman. The coaching staff utilized diverse and physical rushing schemes with pre-snap motion to create easier angles of approach for blockers. Skattebo's skill set aligns perfectly with the Giants' tackle-over formations and heavy personnel packages designed to establish the run game.
Likely caught all 8 targets for 78 yards and 2 TDs in Week 1 debut.
Likely caught all eight of his targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. He was a key weapon in the Giants' offensive scheme, including a crucial third-and-4 conversion where Dart threw away from defensive leverage to find him. Likely showcased smooth and deceptive route running, particularly on a route against cornerback Shavon Revel that highlighted his dangerous skill set as a weapon.
Dart's elite Week 1 performance ranks 1st in EPA/play and WPA/play among all QBs.
Dart delivered an elite Week 1 performance with 23/29 (79%), 230 passing yards (7.9 ypa), 3 TDs, 2 sacks, 1 fumble, +0.73 EPA/play (98th percentile), 74% success rate (29/39), and +10.9% CPOE. He ranked 1st in EPA/play and WPA/play among all Week 1 QBs, adding 3.5 expected points and 11% win probability every 5 plays. Dart was dialed in and poised throughout, finding solutions early including a third-and-4 conversion where he threw away from defensive leverage to open Isaiah Likely. He excelled in the two-minute drill, going 4/4 on third-down conversions and throwing a touchdown off blown Dallas coverage.
Allen's prior work with Seahawks OC Fleury gives him an edge.
Allen is a longtime backup QB in his eleventh NFL season with only ten career starts; he has a key advantage over other free agent options: he has worked with Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Fleury in the past when both were with the San Francisco 49ers in 2023-2024 (Fleury as tight ends coach); his most recent start came in 2024 with the 49ers, where he completed 56.7% of passes for 199 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs; he was cut by the New York Giants during final roster cuts and is currently free to sign; the familiarity with Fleury makes him a more attractive backup option than other available QBs.
Browning has real game experience but recent struggles limit appeal.
Browning, a former Washington Huskies QB, started seven games for the Bengals in 2023 in place of injured Joe Burrow, going 4-3 with a 70.4% completion rate, 1,936 yards, 12 TDs, and 7 INTs; however, he has not replicated that success since, struggling when Burrow was injured again last season, leading the Bengals to trade for Joe Flacco and position Browning on the outs; he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason but did not make the roster and is currently a free agent; the Seahawks could bring him back to the Pacific Northwest on the practice squad as a backup option to Lock if uncomfortable with Milroe starting.
Johnson, 19-year vet, offers emergency backup experience and recent game action.
Johnson is a 19-year NFL veteran who has played for seemingly half the league and has extensive emergency backup experience, including relief duty in the 2022 NFC Championship game when Brock Purdy was injured; he recently started two games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, completing 63% of passes for 372 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs; he is currently on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad and would need to be signed to the 53-man roster; the source suggests his addition would signal Darnold's injury is longer-term than initially thought, but he would be a solid veteran option to back up Lock and potentially Milroe.
Retzlaff, undrafted dual-threat rookie, could return as third QB option.
Retzlaff, an undrafted rookie out of Tulane, was the biggest quarterback name at the Seahawks 2026 Rookie Minicamp but did not sign; he is a dual-threat QB who rushed for 634 yards and 16 touchdowns in his final college season while completing 61% of passes for 3,168 yards, 15 TDs, and 7 INTs; Seattle may bring him back later in the season if injuries necessitate it and could use him as a third QB option behind Milroe.
Milroe rostered as third QB but may not be ready for game snaps.
Milroe is the current third quarterback who has had to be rostered due to waiver risk; the source suggests the Seahawks may not be comfortable with him being one snap away from taking legitimate NFL snaps in a game, indicating uncertainty about his readiness.
Lock is the Seahawks' likely starter with Darnold sidelined.
Drew Lock is identified as the Seahawks' likely best option to start in Darnold's absence, positioning him as the primary starter during the injury window.
Darnold's glute injury could sideline him 4-6 weeks.
Darnold is dealing with a glute injury that will likely sideline him for the short-term; one report from Mike Florio mentioned he could be out 4-6 weeks, raising questions about quarterback depth for the Seahawks.
