Dart was a top-3 fantasy QB last year with 23.3 points per game in seven rookie starts under HC Brian Daboll, thanks to a league-high 16% designed rush share. Though production declined after Daboll's dismissal and a midseason concussion, he could thrive in his second season under a new coaching staff. Week 1 has historically been the most profitable time to bet divisional underdogs (71-48-2 ATS, 15.9% ROI), and HC John Harbaugh has often started the regular season hot (12-6 ATS in Week 1, 31.5% ROI).

Jaxson Dart, the Giants' second-year quarterback, has above-average mobility (third in rushing yards with 487 despite playing only 12 games) but concerning passing efficiency metrics.
