Fantasy football breakouts 2026: Jaxson Dart, sleepers and draft targets

Jaxson Dart had a great rookie season in 2025. And he could be even better as a sophomore this year. He’s an easy player to spotlight for Breakouts 1.0.

Last season, Dart averaged 19.4 Fantasy points per game, but that’s misleading. If you use his 12 starts then he averaged 22.6 Fantasy points per game. And he only played two quarters of his first start in Week 4 with Malik Nabers before he suffered a torn ACL.

This season, Dart gets Nabers back, along with new weapons in Isaiah Likely, Darnell Mooney and Malachi Fields. The Giants won’t have Wan’Dale Robinson, who left as a free agent for Tennessee, but Cam Skattebo (ankle) is healthy.

The offensive line improved with the addition of first-round rookie Francis Mauigoa. And Dart should benefit with new coach John Harbaugh, who should build a winning environment.

Dart will hopefully continue to use his legs, and he averaged 40.6 rushing yards per game in his 12 starts, which was second only to Justin Fields (42.6). Dart also had nine rushing touchdowns, which tied for second with Trevor Lawrence, behind only Josh Allen (14).

There’s a lot to love about Dart this year, and he has top-five upside. He’s worth drafting as early as Round 5 in one-quarterback leagues, and he’s a second-round pick in Superflex and two-quarterback formats.

Now, here are 12 other players I’m excited about for Breakouts 1.0.
