Latest takes
“Names like Jaxson Dart , Brock Purdy , Bo Nix , Baker Mayfield , Jordan Love , Tyler Shough , and Malik Willis are all going outside the top 90 picks in ADP on most platforms, and each has either a track record of top-12 quarterback play, real rushing upside, or both.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) It took a couple of weeks for the Giants’ coaching staff to come to their senses and start Jaxson Dart, but once they did, we all saw the fantasy potential.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Sep 4“Fantasy Football Fallers Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) Jaxson Dart has recently seen his ADP drop to pick 110.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 31

“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) In 2025, Jaxson Dart averaged 0.649 fantasy points per dropback, ranking QB3 behind only Josh Allen and Drake Maye . He did this while head coach Brian Daboll was being fired. His only pass-catching weapon was Wan’Dale Robinson after Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo suffered season-ending injuries.”
Joshua Poniatowski· Aug 29“This late in the draft, I need a quarterback, and here, Jaxson Dart is a dual-threat quarterback. If Malik Nabers is healthy and ready to go, this should make Dart that much more appealing as a passer.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29“Dart is one of three QBs to rush for at least 50 yards in each of his first three starts.”
Colt Williams· Aug 27“Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 25“An underrated pass-catcher who also happens to be best friends with quarterback Jaxson Dart , Skattebo brings additional value in PPR formats that some may not realize.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) Dart is the headliner. The consensus ranks him as the QB12, but the projections peg him as a top-seven fantasy quarterback, with 310 projected points (18.3 per game).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 18“Dart only started part of one game with Malik Nabers in 2025. However, the superstar wide receiver is on track to play in Week 1. Yet, the former Ole Miss quarterback averaged 22.6 fantasy points per game as the starter.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 16“While fantasy players should draft him as a QB1, Dart is overvalued at his current ADP.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 14“After watching Russell Wilson play poorly over the first three weeks, Jaxson Dart took over as the starter in Week 4 and never looked back.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 12“Most recently, he helped Jaxson Dart along his impressive rookie season.”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 11“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) offers real rushing upside paired with rookie-year efficiency that was genuinely elite outside of one statistical outlier game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Statistically, Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart had one of the better rookie seasons in recent memory. After taking over the starting job in late September, Dart threw for 2,200-plus yards and 15 touchdowns and ran for another 487 yards and nine touchdowns, the latter tied for second among quarterbacks in the entire league.”
Michael Moore· Aug 9
“Tight end is a volatile position, which makes landing a steady producer tied to Josh Allen a luxury in the late rounds. As history shows Allen trusts his tight end, and Kincaid has a prominent part in the offense.”
Lawrence Iacona· Sep 5“If he can just get on the field for roughly 60-70% of the plays, Kincaid could easily have a career year and finish as one of the best fantasy tight ends in the game.”

“Dalton Kincaid was wildly efficient in 2025, averaging 14.6 yards per catch, 11.7 yards per target, and 2.70 yards per route run. The problem was that he played only 12 games and 302 snaps.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF) posted elite per-route efficiency last year, ranking first among tight ends in several rate categories despite playing only about a third of his team’s offensive snaps.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Josh Palmer missed five games with an ankle injury, Khalil Shakir played through a nagging knee injury, and Dalton Kincaid missed five games and had his snaps limited due to an ongoing knee issue.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5“Jason finally took a TE with his final pick, getting Dalton Kincaid .”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“The opportunity cost at Sadiq’s ADP isn’t brutal, but it still means passing on other players with objectively better ranges of outcomes (including the massively undervalued Dalton Kincaid at his position).”
Ted Chmyz· Jul 22“Unfortunately, he finished the year as the TE20, averaging 10.5 PPR fantasy points per game despite totaling a career-high five receiving touchdowns. Furthermore, Kincaid missed five games last season, a career high.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 17“It's tough to say if Kincaid has lived up to the first-round billing, but he's a dynamic receiving weapon and an important part of their offense.”
Ethan Woodie· Jul 11“Dalton Kincaid is a player referred to as 'reliably unreliable'—when on the field and healthy, he commands a modest snap count and target share in Buffalo's elite offense, but the problem is that Kincaid is typically nursing a soft-tissue injury. Now competing for targets with DJ Moore, even in a situation where Kincaid stays healthy for a full 17 games, he will need to be ultra-efficient with his touches.”
Evan Tarracciano· Jun 25“Kincaid has shown flashes of fantasy greatness, but has been maddeningly inconsistent, with his total targets dropping in each of his three NFL seasons while playing in fewer games each season due to his nagging injuries.”
Aaron Larson· Jun 18“Dalton Kincaid received criticism due to concerns surrounding health and snap count limitations.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 30“Dalton Kincaid might be one of the more frustrating dynasty assets at tight end. The efficiency numbers were excellent last season, but the role simply wasn't, as Kincaid remained a part-time player in Buffalo's offense, finishing behind Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Haw in snaps. There was also significant concern surrounding Kincaid's lingering PCL injury situation and Buffalo's public comments about managing his workload.”
FantasyPros Staff· May 16“Kincaid had 6-83 and a touchdown against the Broncos in the playoffs and totaled seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins in their two divisional games last year.”
