Expert takes
“They controlled the game throughout, running the ball well, converting short-yardage at will, and second-year QB Jaxson Dart made some big plays when he needed to. Perhaps more impressively, the Giants held up well against the Cowboys’ insane wide receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens , holding them in check enough to stall Dallas’ offense. 24 — Carolina Panthers (0-1, —) Last week: L 37-59 vs.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 15, 2026“From a numbers standpoint, Dart made up for his lack of down-to-down efficiency with aggressive downfield production. He had a 9.1 average depth of target and a 5.6-percent big-time throw rate, but he also took 42 sacks and averaged over three seconds per pass. In his sophomore campaign, Dart needs to merge his big-play ability with a slightly more reasoned approach — as much to protect himself as it is to keep his starting job.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 11, 2026“Mike’s Starts of the Week Peter Casey-Imagn Images QB Jaxson Dart vs DAL Jaxson Start! Speaking of Giants vs Cowboys, Dart is Mike’s start of the week at QB.”

“Fantasy Football Fallers Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) Jaxson Dart has recently seen his ADP drop to pick 110.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 31, 2026“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, 2026“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, 2026“Dart is one of three QBs to rush for at least 50 yards in each of his first three starts.”
Colt Williams· Aug 26, 2026“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, 2026“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, 2026“While fantasy players should draft him as a QB1, Dart is overvalued at his current ADP.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 14, 2026“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, 2026“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, 2026“Dart did not need a perfect environment to create fantasy points because his legs consistently raised both his floor and ceiling.”
Javier Manzanera· Aug 6, 2026“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.”
Frank Ammirante· Jul 27, 2026
“The routes are a huge development for Bucky Irving, because those routes were where Gainwell was supposed to make hay this season, and where he was supposed to take from Irving. Instead, Irving dominated the routes run, and left Gainwell with almost nothing to do while Irving finished with 93 total yards and a touchdown. The touchdown, thankfully, came from well outside the five-yard line, so we had no chance to see a Gainwell potentially steal a goal-line carry from Bucky.”
Jeff Krisko· Sep 13, 2026“Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell have pass-catching chops, and the Bengals were flamed through the air by running backs. Cincinnati ranked tied for 23rd in receptions allowed per game (4.6), 29th in receiving yards allowed per game (41.8), 27th in yards per target (7.26), and allowed seven receiving touchdowns to running backs in 2026.”
Josh Shepardson· Sep 10, 2026“The addition of Kenny Gainwell will cut into Irving’s passing-down work, too.”

“Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor. He definitely carries more fantasy appeal in PPR formats, though.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 26, 2026“Gainwell will play a prominent role for his new team (Tampa Bay) this season as a complement to Bucky Irving . Irving has had a substantial list of injuries that he has dealt with during his short career, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Gainwell is leading the backfield some weeks in 2026 with a solid standalone role when Irving is active. Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4, 2026“Gainwell will play a prominent role for his new team (Tampa Bay) this season as a complement to Bucky Irving.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23, 2026“Kenneth Gainwell was an integral part of the Pittsburgh backfield last year for the entire season, but he really hit his stride in Weeks 11-18 as the RB7 in fantasy points per game with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game. Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jun 23, 2026“Gainwell is now in Tampa Bay and will operate as the 1B to Bucky Irving's 1A. Coming off the board with an ADP of RB32, Gainwell could smash if he sees a similar workload to what he had a year ago in Pittsburgh.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 20, 2026“Baker Mayfield expressed his immense respect for Gainwell, praising him as "somebody that I've respected from afar when he was Philly and the Steelers." Mayfield noted that Gainwell "is a sharp kid who's always been able to do pass protection stuff" and that "in Pittsburgh he actually balled out," adding that "we're lucky because he's extremely sharp, a great leader, can do everything you ask for."”
Tony Camino· Jun 19, 2026“Kenneth Gainwell could back-door-cover his way into RB1 territory. Gainwell may have to channel former Buccaneers backs Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White for this to happen.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 11, 2026“Gainwell had five red-zone rushing touchdowns, with four coming from inside the 5-yard line. Gainwell is the RB37 in FantasyPros' expert consensus rankings (ECR), which is similar to his current best ball average draft position (ADP).”
Tom Strachan· Jun 8, 2026“Gainwell was signed by Tampa in free agency after they elected to let Rachaad White walk. Gainwell is coming off a career year — 114 rush attempts and 85 targets, as well as being voted the Steelers' team MVP.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 8, 2026“The Buccaneers have replaced White with an even more threatening receiving veteran in Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell ranked fourth among all backs in receptions in 2025, trailing only Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs.”
Ted Chmyz· May 25, 2026“Tampa Bay signed RB Kenneth Gainwell this offseason, who figures to be the second in line for touches behind Irving. Robinson said Gainwell is a true pro with outstanding tape from his time in Philadelphia, and Bucs RB coach Skip Peete added that Gainwell brings versatility to both the run game and pass game, with good skills in catching and pass protection.”
Wyatt Grindley· May 19, 2026“Kenneth Gainwell might be paid next year by either Pittsburgh or another team. The dual-threat RB is not even 27 years old, and he THRIVED as both a rusher/receiver in 2025. He was fifth in rushing success rate, RB20 in fantasy PPG, and averaged more PPG than both Seahawks RBs and Broncos' rookie RB, RJ Harvey. Gainwell totaled 73 catches for 486 yards on 85 targets with eight TDs. Over 1,000 yards from scrimmage. 16% target share (top 5).”
