  Jaxson Dart Camp Update — August 23: Seventeen of twenty-one at Miami

  Dart went seventeen of twenty-one with one interception in the joint practice against the Dolphins, by Big Blue View's charting, and the throw of the day was a fifty-yard touchdown dropped on Malachi Fields. The deep ball — the June preview's whole project — produced its best evidence of the summer.

  Jaxson Dart Camp Update — August 16: A Touchdown, a Tent Trip, and a Protection Problem

  Jaxson Dart's preseason debut ran two series: three of four passing, a fifteen-yard touchdown to Malachi Fields, and a concussion evaluation he passed after a free rusher flattened him. The June frame said the passing was the project and the protection would matter, and Saturday played both notes.

  Jaxson Dart 2026 Season Preview — a rookie rushing floor, a passing game to build

  Dart finished QB13 across 14 games in his rookie season, averaging 17.3 half-PPR points per game. That production needs to be understood for what it was built on — the verified figures don't isolate rushing volume or passing efficiency separately, so the honest read is that his floor and ceiling both remain open questions heading into a second year under center.

  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: 14 games, 17-three a game, QB14 per game, on 22 72 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, just five picks, +487 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. The signature was a three-touchdown, 28 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 43 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 88, 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.

  Jaxson Dart finished his rookie season as the number 13 quarterback in total PPR scoring and the number 14 quarterback in PPR per game — and for a kid who didn't even start Week 1, that's a story. Dart took over a four-and-13 Giants team and immediately became the most fantasy-relevant thing about that offense. Not because he was lighting up the passing chart. Because his legs turned every red-zone trip into a touchdown threat. He racked up 9 rushing touchdowns on 86 carries and 487 rushing yards — the number 12 mark in rushing scores across the entire league, quarterbacks and running backs combined. The real-football Dart was a flawed but dangerous runner playing behind shaky protection on a team that couldn't stop anybody. The fantasy Dart was a streaming-tier starter whose floor was propped up almost entirely by his cleats, not his arm.

  Now let's dig into the numbers, because they explain the ranking. Through 14 games he threw for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and 5 interceptions — modest volume, and the efficiency underneath was rough. His adjusted net yards per attempt was 5.9, ranking 26th among qualified passers, and his completion percentage over expected was minus 2, ranking 27th — bottom-six in the league at actually delivering accurate footballs. He was sacked 35 times behind a Giants line that allowed 48 sacks at a 7.7 percent rate. The rushing production salvaged the fantasy line: 17.3 PPR points per game, with that 9-touchdown floor doing the heavy lifting. And he was genuinely boom-or-bust — four games above 23 PPR points, but three outings at 0.3 or lower, including a zero against the Vikings in Week 16 and a minus 0.3 in his Week 2 cameo. When the rushing touchdowns came, he was a top-five weekly quarterback. When they didn't, he was unstartable.

  The play that captures the season came in Week 7 at Denver: third and 17 from the Broncos' 41, fourth quarter, Giants up 19 to 8. Dart dropped back, found Theo Johnson on a short middle route, and Johnson took it the distance for a 41-yard touchdown — a six-point swing in expected points on a third-and-long conversion. That was Dart's ceiling game, a 28.4 PPR explosion with three passing touchdowns and a rushing score. And the Giants still lost by one. That's the rookie year in a sentence: real flashes, real rushing production, real fantasy usefulness on his best days — wrapped inside a passing profile that graded bottom-six in the league by the efficiency measures that matter most.
