Should You Start or Sit Dart in Week 15?
Dart returned from the concussion in Week 13, and while he showed no signs of fear, the 13.6-point performance was his worst as a starter (139 passing yards with a touchdown, 20 rushing yards).
That matchup (in New England) was a tough spot, and it was always going to be. Balance was going to be a problem, and with their ears pinned back, this was target practice more than anything. In his first start back, just 14.7% of his fantasy points came with his legs, a dramatic fall from the 43.5% rate he posted in his seven starts prior.
Are those limitations here to stay after he got lit up on the sideline for one of his four rush attempts? Even if you don’t believe that the Giants are going to curtail his game long-term, the 2-11 version of this team isn’t motivated to put their franchise signal caller in harm’s way.
The Commanders’ defense does not scare me in the least, and that opens up a nice upside projection for Dart. Still, if we are talking about what is most likely to happen, I think it’s that he falls outside of the top 10 at the position in a week where everyone is in action, most of them with more to gain.
