Jaxson Dart
vs Justin Herbert

“Fantasy Football Fallers Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) Jaxson Dart has recently seen his ADP drop to pick 110.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Dart is one of three QBs to rush for at least 50 yards in each of his first three starts.”

“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.”

“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).”

“While fantasy players should draft him as a QB1, Dart is overvalued at his current ADP.”

“Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) offers real rushing upside paired with rookie-year efficiency that was genuinely elite outside of one statistical outlier game.”

“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.”

“Dart did not need a perfect environment to create fantasy points because his legs consistently raised both his floor and ceiling.”

“But my issue here is that he plays so recklessly. Dart is one of the biggest injury risks you can find at the quarterback position.”

“QB Justin Herbert had his best game of the season and it wasn’t even all that good. His regression this season is a big part of why Los Angeles is falling short of expectations. Losing former DC Jesse Minter to the Ravens’ head job is a factor as well.”

“Among 31 qualifying passers, Herbert has the 14th-fewest yards per attempt, the seventh-fewest fantasy points per dropback, the eighth-lowest passing success rate, and the fifth-lowest EPA per dropback. I don’t see this being the week that Herbert turns things around against this vaunted Seattle pass defense. Seattle has allowed the fewest yards per attempt, the seventh-lowest passing success rate, and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per dropback.”

“Over the last two weeks, Justin Herbert has dropped back 69 times, and Mitchell leads all Chargers backs with 22 routes; Omarion Hampton is third on his own team at 15, with three targets on the season . Mitchell has also run 18 routes lined up at wide receiver this year, second among all RBs behind only Christian McCaffrey (see Analysis & Hype above). And here's the ugly-beautiful part: Herbert is 1-for-12 with three picks on throws 20+ yards downfield, which means the checkdown is the only part of this offense currently functioning.”

“Herbert has one QB1 scoring week over his past 10 games. It is hard to bank on that flipping here, so Herbert stays in the pile of back-end QB2 options . Seattle allowed 3 passing touchdowns to Marcus Mariota on Sunday, but they still allow only 5.9 yards per pass attempt and a 61.3% completion rate for 183 yards.”

“This offense is a disaster: QB Justin Herbert is playing the worst ball of his career, this offensive line isn’t any better than it was a year ago even with Los Angeles’ tackles back, and this defense isn’t the same without Jesse Minter leading it. The Chargers need to do something different, and fast. But with a meat grinder of an upcoming schedule, the road isn’t getting any easier.”

“Three weeks in, Herbert is averaging just 209 passing yards per game, has a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 3:4, and has yet to top 13.5 fantasy points in a game. His 73.4 passer rating ranks 31 out of 32 starting quarterbacks. You don’t want to know where he ranks, including among backup quarterbacks who have played enough to qualify.”

“Los Angeles's inability to protect Justin Herbert could be problematic this week.”

“It has only been two games, but Herbert looks worse mechanically than ever. Remember this summer, McDaniel changed Herbert's shotgun stance and base to get the ball out quicker. Before we get further into McDaniel, I believed getting Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater back would be enough to elevate the offensive line, since Herbert had such strong splits with just Alt on the field last year.”

“One of the more hyped players at the position coming into draft season, Herbert has struggled mightily to start the season after Mike McDaniel took over as offensive coordinator. Completing just 15 passes on the afternoon, Herbert threw for 192 yards, one touchdown, and two ugly interceptions. Even more alarming was his lack of ball security, as Herbert put the ball on the ground three times, with Las Vegas defenders constantly swarming around him.”

“Herbert is still a must-start in Superflex formats, but those starting him in 1-QB formats may need to pivot to backup options soon if No. 1 WR Ladd McConkey misses significant time. After next week’s contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chargers and their subpar offensive line play the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens in succession.”

“Chargers RB snaps in Week 4: • Keaton Mitchell – 26 • Kimani Vidal – 25 • Omarion Hampton – 25 • Alec Ingold – 25 Justin Herbert has faced the SECOND EASIEST QB schedule through 4 weeks. He has the HARDEST QB schedule from Week 5 through 17. Justin Herbert on downfield passes this season, per NextGenStats: • 39.1 completion pct (3rd-lowest) • 7.4 pass yards/attempt (lowest) • 6 interceptions (most) • 34.8 passer rating (lowest) Justin Herbert is the QB30 in PPG.”
