The Giants have advised Dart (concussion) -- who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers -- to exercise more caution with when and how frequently he scrambles once he returns to the field, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dart entered concussion protocol shortly after taking a big hit in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss to the Bears, when he fumbled at the end of a seven-yard run. Though he's now been diagnosed with a concussion for the first time in 2025, Dart has been evaluated for concussions on four total occasions since the beginning of the preseason, which has prompted the Giants to be more strident in their request for the quarterback to modify his approach to running. To that end, quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney has been educating Dart with videos of other running quarterbacks, pointing out the difference between being reckless and acting in self-preservation. Ultimately, any change in approach will have to be a conscious choice on the part of Dart, whose aggressiveness as a runner thus far has undoubtedly enhanced his fantasy appeal. Through his first seven starts, Dart has turned in respectable production as a passer (202.2 yards per game, 10:3 TD:INT), but his numbers as a runner (45.3 yards per game, seven scores) have been the major driver of his value. Dart appears to be making good progress through the five-step concussion protocol and could be back in action for Week 12 in Detroit, but if he heeds the advice from the coaching staff and scales back his running, he may not represent as bankable of a fantasy option as he had been prior to suffering the concussion.

Dart (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jameis Winston will be the starting quarterback for New York's first game under interim head coach Mike Kafka. With WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) also ruled out, the passing attack is short-handed against a strong Green Bay defense. Dart didn't practice this week, but he did stretch on the field with teammates Friday -- a sign of progress through the concussion protocol, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record.

Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed Wednesday that Dart (concussion) won't start Sunday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
With Dart in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Giants are playing it safe with the 2025 first-rounder, which sets the stage for Jameis Winston to draw the start versus Green Bay. Per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, Kafka noted that Dart is "right on track and right on pace" in terms of concussion protocol, which suggests that Dart could be cleared in time to get the starting nod in Week 12. If Dart is made inactive this weekend, Russell Wilson would be in line to back up Winston.

Dart was diagnosed with a concussion and won't return to Sunday's contest in Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dart took a big hit at the end of a seven-yard quarterback keeper and was wobbly as he went to the sideline and eventually the locker room. With a concussion confirmed, he'll be subject to the protocol for head injuries to be able to suit up again. He'll finish Week 10 action with 241 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions on 19-of-29 passing, six carries for 66 yards and two TDs and a lost fumble. Russell Wilson will direct the Giants offense for as long as Dart is sidelined.

Dart is under evaluation for a possible concussion during Sunday's contest at Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
On a designed quarterback run in the third quarter, Dart gained seven yards before taking a big hit and losing a fumble. He was hobbling as he made his way to the sideline before visiting the blue medical tent and eventually the locker room. Dart had completed 19 of 29 passes for 241 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and turned six rushes into 66 yards and two touchdowns when he departed the game. Russell Wilson took over for Dart under center.

Dart completed 24 of 33 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers. He added eight rushing attempts for 56 yards and a touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Dart connected with Theo Johnson for a 15-yard touchdown on the opening drive but generated only 65 passing yards on 15 first-half passes. The Giants finally got back into the end zone with less than eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, when Dart scored his fifth rushing touchdown through six starts on a six-yard designed run. Dart also tossed a 24-yard touchdown pass to Gunner Olszewski with 1:21 remaining, but the Giants still faced double-digit deficits after both of those fourth-quarter scores. The rookie first-round pick led the team in rushing yards Sunday as he continues to generate offense with both his arm and legs, but Dart's limited supporting cast will continue to cap his upside in Week 10 against the Bears.

Dart completed 14 of 24 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Dart tossed an 18-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to Cam Skattebo, who later left the game due to a dislocated ankle. The Giants' offense didn't get much going after that, though Dart also had a would-be 68-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton in the fourth quarter nullified by a questionable offensive pass interference call. Dart tacked on a two-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter, giving the rookie first-round pick a rushing score in four of his first five starts. His rushing upside will keep Dart fantasy-relevant in Week 9 against the 49ers despite the Giants' depleted supporting cast on offense.

Dart completed 15 of 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while taking five carries for 11 yards and another touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
It was a crushing loss for the Giants, considering Dart pushed his fourth touchdown of the contest across the goal line with 40 seconds left in regulation, only to watch a missed extra-point attempt open the door for the Broncos to come back and win it with a field goal as time expired. The rookie signal-caller finished with his worst completion percentage (45.5) as a pro, but he offset the inefficiency with new highs in passing yards (283) and total touchdowns (four). Dart's fourth and final trip to the end zone came as a rusher, which helped offset a season-low five rush attempts Sunday. The Ole Miss product will attempt to overcome another tough defensive matchup when the Giants visit the Eagles next Sunday. Dart generated 23.6 standard fantasy points when these two teams met in New York back in Week 6.

Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding 13 carries for 58 yards and another score during the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Dart recorded the first signature win of his nascent career with a standout, mistake-free performance. The dynamic rookie got off to a blistering start by helping lead two first-quarter touchdown drives, possessions he capped off with a 20-yard scoring run and a 35-yard strike to Wan'Dale Robinson. Dart went on to lead three more scoring drives in the upset, and he navigated a brief third-quarter exit to be checked for a concussion to finish out the upset victory without incident. Dart has already shown considerable promise in his first three starts while recording a pair of victories in the process. but he'll get quite the test in a Week 7 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 19.
