The New York Giants get their rookie starting quarterback on the field as Jaxson Dart has passed concussion protocol
For the first time since Week 10, Jaxson Dart will be under center for the New York Giants after passing concussion protocol and will take on the New England Patriots, a tough welcome-back test.
Dart has had an excellent year so far, recording 128 completions for 1,417 yards and 10 touchdowns, and rushing for 317 yards and seven touchdowns. He has injected life into Giants fans. Jameis Winston will return to backup duties after filling in with some electric plays.

Per Adam Schefter
New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left the game against the Chicago Bears with a suspected concussion.
Jaxson Dart exited the game at the start of the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion after a hit. Veteran Russel Wilson finished the game for the Giants and was unable to secure the victory.
Before Dart left the game, he was putting together a solid outing. He finished with 19 completions on 29 attempts, totalling 242 yards, but where Dart did his damage was on the ground, recording 66 yards on six rushes while scoring two touchdowns. Dart became the first quarterback in NFL history to record at least one rushing touchdown in five straight games. The concussion news will be something to monitor moving forward to see if he will be ready for the Giants’ Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo records a three-touchdown night as they defeat the Philadelphia Eagles.
NY Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo had a dominant performance on Thursday night, rushing for three touchdowns as the Giants upset their NFC East division rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. Skattebo has looked great, showcasing his strength and determination on every play. He has become a must-start asset in all formats moving forward.
Skattebo rushed the ball 19 times, accumulating a career high 98 yards on the ground while catching two passes for 12 yards. He ran one touchdown into the endzone from four yards out and the other two from the one-yard line, effortlessly plowing through defenders as if he were a bulldozer. “We played hard, and props to the guys up front for all the effort they gave me and this team,” said Skattebo post-game. The Giants’ rookie duo of Jaxson Dart and Skattebo have brought excitement back to the organization, and their bond continues to grow. Dart said he and Skattebo told each other they had each other’s backs and were “going to lay it all on the line each and every play.”
The Giants play another formidable opponent in Week 7 as they face the Denver Broncos.

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers to get MRI to determine if he tore his right ACL.
Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers is feared to have suffered a season ending injury in the teams’ 21-18 win over the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers. The timing of the injury is even more painful considering how Jaxson Dart was making his rookie debut.
While things were looking up for the team early, Nabers suffered a non-contact injury on a deep ball from Dart. From a personal and team perspective this is a major blow to the Giants as an organization. Fantasy managers are equally sad in their own right as it relates to losing a star player.
Malik Nabers was primed to challenge for the WR1 overall spot in 2025. Just 4 games into the season, the answer to that question will have to arrive at another time. Nabers should be rostered in redraft until final confirmation and in dynasty leagues he will certainly have increased trade liquidity as teams deliberate winning now versus rebuilding of the future. Deals that were once off the table can now be made.

The New York Giants are making a change at QB ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, replacing veteran Russell Wilson with rookie Jaxson Dart.
Jaxson Dart will make the start for the Giants this Sunday, just two weeks after Russell Wilson threw for the second-most passing yards in his career against the Cowboys. Wilson has looked miserable apart from that, however, and the Giants’ 0-3 start has the coaching staff looking for answers. [Side note: I’m starting all fantasy players against the Cowboys defense until further notice.]
All external reports indicate that the Giants may have found a special player in Dart. After a four-year collegiate career at both USC and Ole Miss, Dart climbed up draft boards before the 2025 NFL draft. The Giant moved back up into the end of the first round to draft the 22-year-old, who threw for 4,279 yards with a 29/6 touchdown to interception ratio during his senior year.
I’m not willing to play Dart in redraft this week against the Chargers unless I’m in a deep 2QB league. I do think he’s worth a roster spot in 12-team or deeper leagues with all of the injuries at the position. If nothing else, his rushing ability should provide a solid floor as a fill-in starter going forward.
I don’t think the transition signifies any change in value for any of the Giants’ offensive weapons. I’m starting Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo every week (at least until Tyrone Tracy returns). Wan’Dale Robinson remains a boom-or-bust flex play against favorable matchups. Let’s see how Dart looks in his first NFL action, but the hope for the Giants is that he improves the situation for both the team and their fantasy players.
