Draft Note by John Paulsen
Dart was one of last year's most pleasant surprises. After a couple of brief relief appearances in Weeks 2 and 3, he took over as the Giants' starter in Week 4 and never looked back, averaging 20.1 fantasy points per game in his 12 starts—a top-six pace over the final 15 weeks. The passing efficiency was solid but unspectacular—71st percentile in EPA per dropback and 42nd percentile in CPOE—but it’s the rushing production that’s his super power. Dart averaged 40.6 rushing yards per start with nine rushing touchdowns, giving him the kind of weekly floor that makes dual-threat quarterbacks so valuable in fantasy. The supporting cast has improved significantly heading into Year 2, thanks to the expected return of Malik Nabers and free agent Isaiah Likely joining breakout TE Theo Johnson. Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, and Calvin Austin III should provide better depth in the receiver room. The CPOE suggests his accuracy still has room to grow, but as a low-end QB1 off the board, Dart is a strong value for a quarterback who was essentially a top-five producer once he became the full-time starter. One word of warning: Sophomore quarterbacks have a wide range of outcomes.
