Jaxson Dart Rest-of-Season Outlook
Dual-threat QB3 on the sideline for now
On injured reserve, knee - meniscus.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB14 last season at 17.6 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's QB32 at 13.7 PPR points per game, against 17.6 over 14 games last season (QB14). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 36th of 41 in passing volume (24.2 attempts per game), 19th of 41 in efficiency (0.065 EPA per play) and 4th of 41 in rushing (34.8 rush yards per game). His points come from his rushing. Passing volume is the soft spot. Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers are his top two targets.
He's on injured reserve, knee - meniscus. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most.
The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 4 (4th against QBs) and the Commanders in Week 5 (2nd against QBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Dart's rookie tape is a runner's profile wearing a passer's jersey: 487 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns on 86 carries powered a QB26 finish (241.6 points) across just 14 games, with a healthy 7.7 yards per scramble. The arm was steadier than flashy — 63.7% completions, 15 touchdowns to 5 picks, and a barely-positive 0.065 EPA per play on a 45.2% success rate. A -0.2 CPOE and 12% deep-attempt rate confirm he won and won't yet on volume and his legs, not pinpoint accuracy.
The surrounding math finally cooperates. A healthier Malik Nabers, plus Isaiah Likely, Darnell Mooney and an upgraded line, should lift the 6.7 yards-per-attempt floor, and projections near 3,600 passing yards with 23 scores plus 540 rushing yards point to weekly QB1 weeks. The catch is durability — five concussion checks and two missed games last season. If he slides sooner, his Round 7-8 ADP is a value.

Jaxson Dart Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Jaxson Dart's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
