New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will officially make his return to the field after missing each of the last two games due to a concussion. Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed on Thursday that Dart has cleared concussion protocol. Given his injuries, the Giants may elect to change the gameplan with Dart. That means, Dart might not run the ball as much as he was earlier in the season. Regardless, fantasy managers should still be able to trust Dart who has been impressive with his arm through his first seven starts. He draws a tough matchup against the New England Patriots, but Dart remains a QB1 in fantasy leagues.

New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed on Friday that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) will start on Monday night versus the New England Patriots, according to Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. Dart, who has missed the last two games due to a concussion, cleared the league's concussion protocol this week and will return to starting duties in Week 13, sending veteran Jameis Winston back to the bench after he nearly led the G-Men to an upset over the Detroit Lions last week. Despite a less-than-ideal matchup against the Patriots on Monday, the 22-year-old Dart should immediately be back in the QB1 conversation in fantasy football because of his dual-threat abilities. In the first seven starts of his career, Dart has been impressive with his arm and legs, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding 317 rushing yards and 7 TDs on the ground.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Dart has now fully practiced two days in a row and is expected to lead the Giants' offense on Monday night against the New England Patriots. He will return to action for the first time since Week 10 while Jameis Winston backs him up. The 22-year-old has been fantastic this season, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores over nine games. Dart can be used as a streamer for Week 13 and is ranked 12th among all quarterbacks in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka said that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) will be a full participant in practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. It sounds as if both Dart and Jameis Winston will take first-team reps. Raanan points out that Dart is still officially in the league's concussion protocol after missing the last two games. It's good news that the 22-year-old Ole Miss product is practicing in full, but he still needs final clearance from the concussion protocol in order to be cleared to play on Monday night against the New England Patriots. Winston nearly led the G-Men to an upset of the Detroit Lions in Week 12, but if cleared, New York is fully expected to go back to Dart to close out the season after they traded into the first round of the 2025 draft to select him. If Dart is cleared to play on Monday, he'll immediately be in play as a QB1 again in fantasy due to his dual-threat abilities under center.

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports that New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) did not have a setback with his head injury, according to multiple sources. Dart is feeling better but remained limited in practice on Friday. The decision to hold the 22-year-old signal-caller out for a second straight game in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions was made by team doctors to play it safe with Dart. The Ole Miss product should be able to clear the NFL's concussion protocol to play in Week 13 against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Since taking over the starting QB gig in New York, Dart has provided a spark for the offense, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while also rushing for 317 yards and seven touchdowns. Veteran Jameis Winston is expected to make a second straight start in Detroit on Sunday with Dart sidelined.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) won't suit up for this Sunday's road outing with the Detroit Lions, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. There was some hope that the Ole Miss product would clear concussion protocol ahead of the team's Week 12 matchup. However, he'll miss a second consecutive outing after picking up the injury a few weeks back in their loss to the Bears. With Dart out, New York figures to again turn to veteran Jameis Winston as they square off with the hosting Lions. Winston was fine in his first start since Week 15 of 2024, although his presence under center undoubtedly lowers the offense's floor in a tough matchup in a hostile environment.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) will practice again on Thursday, and there is a chance that he could clear concussion protocol, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Dart is trending in the right direction after suffering a concussion in Week 10 against the Bears, then missing New York's Week 11 matchup against the Packers. The rookie first-rounder was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and it's to be determined what his designation will be on Thursday. The 22-year-old excelled in his seven starts this season before getting injured, completing 62.7% of his passes for 1,417 yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions to go with 57 carries for 317 yards and seven scores on the ground, ranking as the QB3 in points per game (23.9). His status for Week 12 against the Lions will be updated in the coming days.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday "in some capacity," per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. Dart suffered a concussion in Week 10 that forced him to miss New York's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers. It remains to be seen whether Dart will be able to practice in full on Wednesday or if he will be limited, but either way, his presence on the field is a positive sign for his chances of playing in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. Across nine games (seven starts) this season, Dart has thrown for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores on 57 attempts. If active, he profiles as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 12 against Detroit. If Dart cannot return, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston would be in line to make his second straight start for the Giants on Sunday.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) missed his team's Week 11 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to a concussion. When asked about Dart's status for practice leading into New York's Week 12 matchup against the Detroit Lions, interim Giants head coach Mike Kafka said Dart remains in the league's concussion protocol. While Dart could clear the protocol in time for Week 12, it does not appear that the team knows exactly what his status will be at this time. With Dart sidelined in Week 11, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston took over under center for the Giants. Winston completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 201 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception against the Packers. If Winston gets another start against Detroit, he could be a solid starting fantasy QB option in two-quarterback league formats.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie quarterback has been solid with 1,417 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions in nine games. However, he continues to put himself in danger with how he runs the football.

The Giants want to make sure they protect their franchise quarterback going forward. Dart is having success on the ground with 317 yards on 57 attempts while scoring seven touchdowns. It doesn't sound like the Giants want to take the part of his game away, but they want him to be smarter when he's doing it.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Dart suffered a concussion that forced him to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears and has spent this week in the league's concussion protocol. However, Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka recently said that Dart is progressing well, so he may be on track to return in Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. With Dart sidelined against Green Bay, quarterback Jameis Winston will make his first start of the season for New York. In 12 games (seven starts) for the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Winston threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The veteran gunslinger profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against the Packers.

New York Giants head coach Mike Kafka said on Friday that he thinks rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) is "on track" with where he's supposed to be in the league's concussion protocol, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Dart was seen warming up with the team on the field in practice on Friday, which is a good sign that he might be cleared to play in Week 12 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he will not be available to play this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Veteran QB Jameis Winston, not Russell Wilson, will make the start in Week 11, and he's expected to be without receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring). Fantasy managers will be hoping that Dart will end up missing just one game. The rookie first-rounder has immediately become fantasy relevant as a QB1 because of his dual-threat abilities at the position.
