• Giants' Jaxson Dart: Efficient return to lineup on MNF

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Dart (concussion) completed 17 of 24 pass attempts for 139 yards and a touchdown while gaining 20 rushing yards on four attempts in Monday's 33-15 loss to New England. Dart returned from a two-game absence after clearing the league's concussion protocol in order to reclaim his starting gig ahead of Monday's primetime tilt. The rookie signal-caller was understandably conservative from the pocket -- after already being checked for a possible concussion four times since the preseason -- finishing with the second-lowest passing yardage total through eight starts. The Ole Miss product also recorded his lowest carry total while failing to extend his rushing touchdown streak to six games. Dart has been a fantasy revelation in his first year as a pro, generating 1,893 yards from scrimmage with 18 touchdowns to five turnovers heading into the Giants' Week 14 bye. The dual-threat quarterback will look to build confidence in a favorable home matchup against the Commanders when play resumes on Sunday, Dec. 14.

• Giants' Jaxson Dart: Confirmed as starter for Week 13

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed Friday that Dart (concussion) will start Monday's game at New England, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. The Giants announced Thursday on their first Week 13 injury report that Dart cleared the protocol for head injuries, setting him up for his first game action since a Week 10 loss in Chicago. In seven starts to begin his career, the rookie first-round pick has tossed multiple TDs on three occasions and also rushed for at least one TD in six of those outings. On Monday, Dart will be taking on a Patriots defense that has allowed the ninth-most passing scores (20) to opposing QBs in 12 contests this season.

• Giants' Jaxson Dart: Clears concussion protocol

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Dart was listed as full on Thursday's estimated practice report, and the Giants announced that the rookie quarterback officially cleared the concussion protocol, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. When interim head coach Mike Kafka spoke to the media Wednesday, he told Evan Barnes of Newsday that Dart remained in the protocol for head injuries, but as of the Giants posting their first Week 13 injury report, he's now received clearance for his first game action since Week 10. Dart thus is poised to resume directing the offense Monday at New England, while Jameis Winston will return to a backup role.

• Giants' Jaxson Dart: QBs to Start

  13D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Dart is expected to play in Week 13 after missing the past two games with a concussion, and he should be trusted as a low-end starter in all leagues against the Patriots. Prior to sitting out, Dart had scored at least 21.4 Fantasy points in five games in a row. Now, we have to see if he'll run less -- or run less recklessly -- and this will also be Dart's first game without Brian Daboll, who was fired prior to Week 11. Dart has scored a rushing touchdown in five games in a row, and he has at least five rush attempts in all seven of his starts. The Patriots have allowed three of the past four opposing quarterbacks to score at least 21.3 Fantasy points, and Dart should continue to produce against this defense on Monday night.

• Giants' Jaxson Dart: Still limited Thursday

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Dart (concussion) remained a limited non-contact participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Interim head coach Mike Kafka told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News earlier Thursday that there was a chance Dart would gain clearance from the concussion protocol after the Giants' second Week 12 practice, but that didn't come to pass. Instead, Dart maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more chance this week to get back to full. In the end, he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday at Detroit, but if Dart is unable to, Jameis Winston is the next QB up on the depth chart.
