Will New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart be a fantasy football breakout star in 2026?
Perhaps.
Sports Illustrated’s Michael Fabiano sees Dart as this year’s version of New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye from last season in fantasy football.
Dart is my favorite breakout quarterback for this season. He finished 13th in points as a rookie, but he averaged more than 17 fantasy points in his 14 games (12 starts). A dual-threat quarterback, he rushed for 487 yards and nine touchdowns. Dart also found success as a passer, and he did it without his top option, Malik Nabers. With Nabers and Cam Skattebo back in action, Dart will have plenty of weapons and a terrific shot at being this year’s Drake Maye.
It’s reasonable to project Dart flirting with 4,000 passing yards and exceeding 500 rushing yards this coming season.
Maye made a significant jump last year, throwing for 4,394 yards and rushing for 450 after posting 2,276 passing yards and 421 rushing yards the previous season. Dart similarly carries boom potential that fantasy football managers may want to capitalize on in drafts this year.
