Not including spikes, Jaxson Dart was 10-for-11 in 11-on-11 periods today. His lone incompletion was his last pass, which Theo Johnson dropped in a two-minute drill. The curl route would have been a first down on third-and-3. Instead, the Giants had to kick a 47-yard field goal, which Ben Sauls made.

#Giants first training camp practice over. Here’s the update post-workout - Malik Nabers went through individual drills and full-offense (no defense) at full speed. He made a couple hard cuts, looked good in the ladder drill. There wasn’t as much burst (seemed a tad timid in certain portions), but that’s expected. It’s early, and a long ways to go, but hard not to feel optimistic about Week 1. - Crazy Odell Beckham Jr is back. Still weird seeing him in the blue again. He looks good, too. As J...

I might just be feeding into the over reactions to this video But I do genuinely get some bad vibes from this hiring paired with Matt Nagy And I’ve done a lot of soul searching recently on whether I truly want to invest in Cam Skattebo or Jaxson Dart this year I made a comparison earlier in the offseason, that Giants fans countered with some decent points, that if any team is going to follow in the footsteps of the 2025 Raiders, it’s this team

Whether it’s good or bad, there’s a lot of change happening for Jaxson Dart Going under center Learning a new system Tweaks to throwing motion Tweaks to footwork Then add in some risk that Nabers isn’t himself this season I know we want rushing profiles but I’m worried

Dart averaged 22.4 fantasy points per game in 12 starts and finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in seven of those starts. He rushed for 487 yards and nine touchdowns on 86 carries, with 37.5 percent of his total fantasy points coming from the ground game. His 0.147 EPA/play ranked 14th among 34 quarterbacks (min. 300 plays), though his passing EPA per play of 0.098 ranked 23rd and his 42.5 completion percentage on passes of 10+ air yards ranked 30th. He finished with a 2,272-15-5 passing line and 63.7 completion percentage. The source projects him as a high-end QB2 in overall fantasy points per game (19.2) heading into this season, with potential to reach QB1 territory if he improves his passing game and stays healthy. However, Dart was chastised for reckless plays that led to five concussion evaluations in the 14 games he appeared in last season; his all-or-nothing style of play created exciting moments but also injury concerns, and banking on the ground game could prove unsustainable unless he can learn to better protect himself.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the team will not remove the QB run game from Dart's offensive arsenal despite injury concerns. Harbaugh emphasized Dart's versatility across power-running, play-action, gun/pistol formations, RPOs, and quarterback-driven runs similar to Lamar Jackson's system in Baltimore, stating: "If he can do it, then we're gonna do it, and that's what we're planning on doing." This offensive design creates defensive problems on first and second down by forcing defenses to account for both run and pass reads. However, Dart suffered a concussion while running with the ball against Chicago last season, forcing him to miss two games—his first multi-game absence in his career—and was checked in-game for concussions on four additional occasions, including a preseason game against Buffalo. Harbaugh acknowledged the inherent risks of a running QB system, noting that "things can happen out there" even when a quarterback tries to protect himself; the safest position remains the pocket where offensive linemen know his location and rule-book protections apply. Dart spoke this spring about making "mature decisions" and staying available, stating: "Just having the experience last year of sitting out two games, I hadn't done that in my career. So, I just hated that time of not being out there with my teammates... I think I'm going to do a good job at it this year for sure." Harbaugh expressed trust in Dart's self-awareness and ability to assess risk-taking regarding the importance of respecting defensive threats when holding the ball.

Dart averaged 20 FPPG last year (excluding first two games), which would have ranked as QB6 over the past 10 seasons; his value heavily relies on rushing (487 yards and nine touchdowns in 12 games). With new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and senior offensive assistant Greg Roman, the source expects Dart to maintain his rushing ability despite talk of 'making him more cautious,' as he has historically failed to change his ways like Cam Newton, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. The source gives a strong 'Yes! Yes! Yes' vote on Dart as a 2026 breakout QB candidate, citing Nagy and Roman's complementary skill sets (Nagy on passing game, Roman on run game) as a structural advantage that will allow Dart to maintain his rushing production while improving the passing game.

Only Josh Allen scored more fantasy points from rushing last season. Dart managed 19.9 fantasy points per game (QB8!) after taking over in Week 4 despite an underwhelming group of pass-catchers and Matt Nagy's scheme. However, the Giants' supporting cast is ranked 19th, and both top playmakers Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers are coming off major season-ending injuries that could leave them at far less than 100 percent health during early portions of the season. Dart comes in at ADP QB8.

Dart's redraft value was nudged down as his stock continues to cool in drafts. Last season's fantasy production leaned on a seven-week stretch unlikely to repeat: seven of nine rushing touchdowns came in that window, with regression risk high. The final third of the year showed different performance once defenses adjusted. Additional concerns include a bottom-quartile offensive line and a passing game dependent on Malik Nabers, who is still recovering from ACL surgery.

Dart's rookie season performance metrics rank favorably among fellow rookie starters since 2020 (minimum 200 attempts): No. 6 in EPA per attempt (.04), No. 8 in EPA/dropback (.08), No. 2 in off-target rate (8.6 percent), No. 3 in EPA/pressure, and No. 6 in time to throw. Despite starting only 12 games, he posted 24 total touchdowns (15 passing, 9 rushing on 487 yards at 5.7 yards per carry). His greatest and most repeatable asset is natural accuracy; since 2020, only Joe Burrow has a better off-target rate among rookie starters, and Dart ranks No. 1 among the eight NFL starting QBs who rushed at least 75 times last season. He throws with a calm, grounded base and quick, smooth motion; changes speeds; mixes angles; and delivers a very catchable ball at every level. His accuracy was good enough to overcome pocket hiccups and late deliveries on downfield in-breakers. His starting point development-wise is much further along than many feared coming out of college; he showed on his Ole Miss tape an ability to process full-field reads. Health permitting, expect a sizable jump from Dart, who has the ability to finally give the Giants the franchise QB for whom they've been searching.

Dart is stylistically similar to Sorsby as a tough, athletic option quarterback who prefers throwing outside, but Dart's deep accuracy is much better. Dart came from a system that required him to get through multiple progressions and stretched the field with downfield shots. Dart was the better prospect overall, didn't have off-field issues, and was a late first-round draft pick, making him a useful comparison point for evaluating Sorsby's prospect profile.

PositiveUsageJun 8, 2026Hayden Winks - PPR Rankings
Jaxson Dart (QB, NYG) is #100 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 96.3 with a 304.5-point projection. Verdict: Dart is on the Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts spectrum (complimentary) (derogatory). Dart's statistical profile was promising as a rookie. He was 13th in EPA per play and 17th in success rate per play. A lot of that was as a rusher, where he totaled the 2nd-most EPA among QBs, only trailing Josh Allen.

Giants OC Matt Nagy on QB Jaxson Dart: "He's Jaxson Dart. He's not Patrick Mahomes. I know he had a great year last year, but we want to make it even better and continue to have him grow, and I want to be there to help him." (via @​SInow)
