Jaxson Dart

Jaxson Dart ran for nine touchdowns as a rookie — a franchise record for a Giants quarterback. That's the floor. The passing is the project. At QB11, the price is fair for both. The Muffed 2026 preview.

The 2025 season was a dual-threat rookie year: fourteen games, seventeen-three a game, QB14 per game, on twenty-two seventy-two passing yards, fifteen touchdowns, just five picks, plus four hundred eighty-seven rushing yards and nine rushing scores. The signature was a three-touchdown, twenty-eight point game against Denver in Week 7. The legs were the story all year.

The arc is one rookie season, so there's nothing to trend — but the shape is clear, and it leans hard on one elite trait.

Here's the read. His rushing share is forty-three percent — the highest of any quarterback we cover, and by a wide margin. Our research says rushing quarterbacks carry the safest fantasy floors, and Dart's legs are the safest part of his game. The flip side, just as clearly: his passing was below average — a completion percentage over expected near the bottom of the league, modest yards and touchdowns. So the floor is genuine and the ceiling depends entirely on the arm catching up to the legs.

The situation, per the reports, is the upside with the biggest asterisk in the building: the offense is Matt Nagy's now, under new head coach John Harbaugh, and the front office spent the spring adding pass-catchers — Isaiah Likely, Darnell Mooney, and a day-two trade-up for receiver Malachi Fields. The asterisk is Malik Nabers: the torn ACL from last September needed a second procedure in May — scar tissue cleanup and a meniscus repair — his camp timeline is officially uncertain, and Week One is the hope, not the plan. So the true number-one receiver Dart barely got to throw to as a rookie may not be there when September starts. The rushing production — nine rushing touchdowns, a franchise record for a Giants quarterback — set a high floor; Nabers and the passing development are the path to a ceiling.

The price: pick eighty-eight, the eleventh quarterback. Verdict: NO CALL — a rookie with an elite rushing floor and a developing arm, priced just about right for that combination. The counter both ways: if the passing takes a year-two step and Nabers makes it back healthy, QB11 is cheap; if the arm stalls or the receiver room stays patchwork, the legs alone keep him a usable streamer rather than a difference-maker. Fair price, real upside, genuine questions.

September watch: Nabers' availability first — that's the ceiling variable now; then the passing efficiency, where the completion percentage over expected is the whole development question. If he's one of your guys, this show exists for your whole roster — every player, every week, all season.
