Jaxson Dart enters his second NFL season as the clear starting quarterback for the New York Giants following a 2025 rookie campaign of 15 passing touchdowns in 12 starts. Week 1 produced three passing scores on efficient 23-of-29 passing against Dallas, with additional chemistry shown to tight end Isaiah Likely and wide receiver Malik Nabers despite the latter’s knee concern. The offense under new coordinator Matt Nagy features a run-first emphasis and dual-threat elements that boosted Dart’s nine rushing touchdowns last year, though concussion history and a shift toward more sliding could limit designed runs. A favorable early schedule and stable supporting cast position Dart for volume, while road matchups and defensive adjustments represent the primary variables for season-long passing touchdown totals.
