The New York Giants (2-4) will visit the Denver Broncos (4-2) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Jaxson Dart.
Is Jaxson Dart Playing in Week 7?
Dart is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jaxson Dart in Week 7?
I’ll give you all the numbers you want in a second, but the calm maturity of Jaxson Dart is what jumps off the screen most at me. The athleticism is inspiring, but without the right mindset, it’s a useless weapon.
Within the pocket, outside the pocket, first-and-10, third-and-goal … nothing seems to have him off kilter. Those touch anticipation throws are usually reserved for veterans who have made mistakes and learned. Dart is already doing it and he’s doing it with what will likely be the worst set of pass catchers he sees for the foreseeable future.
Dart has at least 50 rushing yards and a passing touchdown while completing at least 65% of his passes in three straight games. He’s the third player with such a streak since 2000.
Not the third Giant. Not the third rookie.
The third player, joining 2019 Lamar Jackson and 2020 Kyler Murray.
The varied skill set is fantasy friendly and it’s clearly increasing the win expectancy of New York, thus making it something I think we can bank on. This is a tough matchup, but that opens the door for an increase in volume of opportunities to offset any decline in projected efficiency.
He falls just outside of my QB1 tier this week, but not by much. I’ll do a piece on it as we get closer, but how many QBs will you rank ahead of him for the Week 15-17 playoff run?
