Ex-NFL QB: Jaxson Dart should start for New York Giants

Ex-NFL QB: Jaxson Dart should start for New York Giants

USA Today2 days ago
Following his impressive NFL debut against the Buffalo Bills last weekend, New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart received a ton of praise, including being named a top rookie QB performer in the NFL's opening weekend of the preseason.
Now, after just one outing, some believe that the Dart should be the Giants' starting quarterback as early as Week 1 of the regular season.
Ex-NFL quarterback Chase Daniel is the latest on the Dart starting quarterback train.
In the video posted by Daniel, he walks through the progression on Dart's first touchdown and highlights his decision-making.
"Watch Jaxson Dart right here, watch his left hand -- check to this. Look at that, we didn't see that. That's what I'm talking about, he checked to it. He checked to this go route, a perfectly thrown football. That's what I'm talking about," Daniel said.
"Big time, calling your own shot, getting smoked, throwing a freaking touchdown like this. Not a great rep by 63 [Jake Kubas] -- hey, sometimes, you know what? You're gonna get hit, get that ball out, you can't throw it any better than this. Okay, on the ground. Let's go -- he checked to it!"
Head coach Brian Daboll has been adamant that Russell Wilson will be the Giants' starter when the season begins. However, the more Dart impresses in the preseason, the more noise the Giants will hear to go with the rookie from the jump.
With the Giants' less-than-favorable schedule to start the season, it may only be a matter of time before we see Dart as the starter. One this is for sure, Darts' first game action performance has fans excited for what the future may hold with their rookie QB.

Lions' 1,001-yard, 7-TD WR faces fantasy bust warning in 2025 drafts

Lions' 1,001-yard, 7-TD WR faces fantasy bust warning in 2025 drafts originally appeared on The Sporting News Ben Johnson is no longer with the Detroit Lions. That means there will be questions about how the offense will perform under new coordinator John Morton. Under Johnson, the Lions offense was one of the most feared in the league. Now, uncertainty looms over whether that success can continue. Pessimism will outweigh optimism, and some players are expected to regress. Fantasy football managers must steer clear of those risks. Wide receiver Jameson Williams is one of them. According to CBS Sports' fantasy football expert Ryan Wooden, Williams is now facing a fantasy football bust warning for 2025. Despite the strong production in 2024, Wooden's model lists the receiver as one of the players to avoid in upcoming fantasy drafts. The primary reason for this dark outlook lies in Detroit's offensive changes. Wooden points out that "the man calling the plays is different." Williams' improvement last season was largely attributed to Johnson's offensive schemes. Statistically, the wideout had immense growth under Johnson with 58 receptions, 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns, up from just 24 catches for 354 yards and two touchdowns in the previous year. Wooden explained that "Williams benefited from Johnson's ability to scheme the speedy receiver open down the field and into space." Now, that opportunity may no longer be available to the same extent. The model ranks the receiver outside the top 40 at his position for the 2025 season. Considering the offensive uncertainty and current draft position, Wooden's model sees the Lions WR as "a prime candidate for a 2025 fantasy football bust." So, be cautious.

Eagles vs. Browns: 7 players on roster bubble to watch in the 2nd preseason game

With kickoff fast approaching, we're looking at seven players on the roster bubble to watch on Saturday. The Eagles and Browns are set for their third meeting of the week, this time a more formal preseason game with starters for both teams sitting out. Philadelphia has one of the best rosters in the NFL, and not many holes for a bubble player to exploit. Saturday afternoon offers another chance for players on the roster bubble and under-the-radar performers to carve out a role on a Super Bowl-contending team with very few holes or available opportunities at key positions. With kickoff fast approaching, we're looking at seven players on the roster bubble to watch on Saturday. OL Darian Kinnard Kinnard has played tackle and guard, but played exclusively on the right side of the line until the Dickerson injury. A versatile player to watch, Kinnard can cement a roster spot on Saturday. DT Jacob Sykes Sykes (6-3, 282) offers a unique ability as a pass rusher, and Saturday offers a chance to lock down a practice squad spot. OLB Azeez Ojulari The veteran edge rusher had a quiet training camp and will look to keep pace with Josh Uche and ahead of Ogbo Okoronkwo. OLB Ogbo Okoronkwo The 30-year-old pass rusher is the oldest edge rusher on the Eagles roster and will look to keep his name in the competition. DB Andre Sam Sam spent the season on the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad. Sam (5-11, 191 pounds) jumped from FCS after starting his career in 2017 at McNeese State, where he was selected First Team All-Southland Conference twice. Sam transferred to Marshall for the 2022 season before spending his final season at LSU. Overall, he played 58 games in college, registering 144 tackles, ten pass defenses, and nine interceptions. Sam has spent the past two off-seasons training with C.J. Gardner-Johnson and could prepare to carve out a key role in year three. RB ShunDerrick Powell The ability to explode for extra yards or play with burst is essential in the NFL, and undrafted rookie running back ShunDerrick Powell has made enough plays through Week 1 of Eagles training camp to leave Saquon Barkley impressed. Powell had a record-setting collegiate career at North Alabama and Central Arkansas, and we'll look to state his case. WR Elijah Cooks Through the first few weeks of training camp practices, Cooks had been the fourth-best wideout and took advantage of players losing reps due to injury. Cooks suffered an injury in the Bengals' win and needs a strong performance.
