Jaxson Dart fantasy football preview 2025: Stats, season outlook, predictions
Rotoworld Staff, Jaxson Dart 2025 Fantasy Preview 2024: A three-year starter in Lane Kiffin's simplistic, prolific Ole Miss offense, Dart (6'2/223) looks the NFL part both from a physical and box score perspective. His production increased all three years in Oxford, culminating in an SEC-leading 4,279 yards last season. His 10.8 yards per attempt led qualified passers by a considerable distance, a number helped along by a similarly prolific aDOT (11.9). What's changed: We love that Dart stuffed the stat sheet against an SEC gauntlet, but he buttered his bread on his first 1-2 reads. If the progression had to go longer it … simply didn't. Dart would tuck and run. He scrambled a somewhat ridiculous 45 times considering his average athleticism. He is admittedly tough as a runner, a quality in ever greater demand in the modern NFL. 2025 Outlook: Dart is an impressive overall passer with a few gaping holes in his game. If he can close up 1-2 of them, he could quickly become a legitimate NFL starter. The Giants insist it won't be early this season, calling Russell Wilson the unquestioned No. 1. We would still expect Dart to lead the team in starts after Halloween, putting him on the streamer radar. Get personalized fantasy football insights based on your league settings with FantasyLife+.

John Mateer's playmaking, leadership to lead Oklahoma to resurgent season
The Oklahoma Sooners made one of college football's most significant transfer portal acquisitions of the entire offseason when they signed former Washington State QB John Mateer. Since then, Mateer has earned his fair share of offseason hype and scrutiny. But with two weeks remaining until his OU debut, there's both hope and intrigue surrounding the new starter under center in Norman. In the snake pit that is the SEC, there are always question marks surrounding the quarterback position, especially for a starter who is new to the conference. Chris Low, who covers college football for ESPN, put together his biggest questions for each projected SEC starting quarterback heading into the 2025 season. For Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer, his familiarity with Ben Arbuckle's offense and coming off a productive season in 2024 for Washington State, make him one of the more intriguing and dynamic passers in the SEC despite the jump in competition. On the field, he's different than the typical transfer quarterback being plugged into a new system because his offensive coordinator at Washington State, Ben Arbuckle, came with him. It's imperative that the Sooners play well around Mateer and that they protect him better than they protected the quarterback this past season. They allowed 50 sacks, which was tied for the most in the country. - Low, ESPN. Mateer has been in the spotlight plenty this offseason, as one of the projected top-tier quarterbacks in America this year. He was chosen to represent the Sooners at SEC Media Days and is already one of the trusted leaders in the locker room, despite only being on campus for a few months. Moving to the SEC from WSU will be a big jump in competition for Mateer. However, he's reiterated time and time again this offseason that he believes in the hard work he's done over the course of his career and that he also believes in the lessons he learned in 2024 as a first-time starter. Oklahoma's hopes rest squarely on Mateer's broad shoulders heading into this fall. We're about to find out if he has the goods that Sooner Nation hopes he brought with him from Pullman.

Big Ten Reportedly Proposing 24- or 28-Team College Football Playoff Format
An essential two-team College Football Playoff was exclusive. Making it four teams in 2014 added some flavor. Giving out 12 playoff berths in 2024 made it exciting. How about getting wild and having a 28-team CFP? Well, that's what the Big Ten has in mind. Conference commissioner Tony Petitti has formed proposals that would expand the CFP to 24, if not 28, teams, ESPN reported. The format proposal would eliminate conference championship games, while granting the Big Ten and the SEC seven automatic playoff bids apiece, with the ACC and Big 12 each getting five automatic bids. There would also be two automatic bids for non-power-conference schools and two other at-large teams. In all, there would be 20 CFP games on college campuses. Last season, college football debuted the 12-team CFP, which granted four conference title winners an automatic first-round bye and had four first-round playoff games played on college campuses. Neutral-site matchups began in the quarterfinal round. The Big Ten led the way with four teams in the CFP, followed by the SEC with three. [MORE: How 2024-25 CFP Would've Looked Under Proposed Expansion Formats] As for the 2025 season, the 12-team CFP format remains intact but with some tweaks, such as the top four overall ranked teams receiving a first-round bye as opposed to the top-four ranked conference champions receiving a bye (e.g. independent Notre Dame can get a first-round bye, whereas it previously couldn't because it's not part of a power-four conference). While still being one of the top-five ranked conference champions ensures a playoff berth, it no longer locks in a first-round bye for the top-four ranked conference winners. In the wake of each of the four teams that received first-round byes in last year's CFP losing in the quarterfinal round (Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Clemson), there has been rampant speculation throughout this offseason about altering the format again; a potential 16-team format has been a topic of discussion. Last season, Ohio State defeated Notre Dame in the national championship tilt; both teams were at-large bids. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
