        It's Jaxson Dart Time

        Giants decision makers apparently decided they didn't feel like seeing anymore late fourth-quarter passes fired through the back of the end zone. According to multiple reports, the team plans to start rookie QB Jaxson Dart instead of Russell Wilson this Sunday against the Chargers.

        What They're Saying

        ESPN's Jordan Raanan: "Wilson struggled in Sunday night's 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He threw for 160 yards and tossed a pair of interceptions. There was also an ugly red zone possession late in the contest where he threw the ball out of bounds on fourth down, and he was booed late in the first half after the second interception. ... Dart has been preparing for this moment ever since the Giants traded back into the first round to get him to New York. He has done nothing but impress since taking the field in the spring. Dart started the spring with the third-team offense and quickly worked his way past Winston early in the summer."

        Thank goodness.

        Dart's about to make his first NFL start, so we obviously can't expect him to immediately flip the offense. But Wilson has given us (and the Giants) basically nothing outside of that big game at Dallas.

        Dart should present more rushing upside than Wilson, and he excelled as a deep-ball producer in college. So it's possible we quickly get better production from the Giants passing game.

        Dart should obviously be rostered in any superflex and 2-QB leagues. We'll see whether he becomes viable for 1-QB formats. And we'll also have to see what his insertion means for Giants pass catchers.

        The team currently sports the fifth-lowest projected team total for the week.
