Jaxson Dart, quarterback for the New York Giants, is being viewed as a potential breakout player for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. Analyst Michael Fabiano highlights Dart's performance last season, where he averaged more than 17 fantasy points per game and rushed for nine touchdowns. With key offensive players Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo returning, Dart is expected to have ample support this season. Projections suggest he could approach 4,000 passing yards and over 500 rushing yards, similar to Drake Maye's progression last year. As fantasy drafts approach, Dart could be a target for managers looking for breakout talent.
