News: 4 days agoDart didn't suit up for Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins.

Spin: Backup Jameis Winston got the start as Dart and some other key starters rested for the second preseason game. Dart played two series in the preseason opener, capping that appearance with a touchdown pass. It remains to be seen whether coach John Harbaugh gives the 2025 first-round pick any action in Friday's preseason finale against the Jets before the Giants kick off regular-season play with a Week 1 home game against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dart is a strong 2026 breakout candidate following an impressive rookie campaign in which he delivered eight top-10 fantasy weeks (tied for fifth most) despite playing the bulk of the snaps in only 12 games. Dart was solid as a passer but elite as a rusher, finishing in the top five at the position in rushing attempts, yards, TDs and carries inside the 5-yard line. Dart's aggressive playing style raises concerns about his durability, but it also provides the 23-year-old with elite fantasy upside. With a new coaching staff led by John Harbaugh and a new playcaller in Matt Nagy, as well as an improved supporting cast that includes a healthy Malik Nabers and newcomers Isaiah Likely and Darnell Mooney, Dart is best valued as a midrange QB1 with a high ceiling.
