"I feel good. I'm excited."

When asked about his availability for the Eagles' game, Dart replied,

"Yeah, never a doubt."

So, Jaxson Dart fantasy football managers can go into Week 6 with confidence. The rookie shot caller will start against Nick Sirianni's side, barring any flare-ups in the lead-up to that contest.

The Ole Miss product has been available for every game in his rookie season. He looks set to remain the QB1 in Giants Blue for the foreseeable future.

How has Jaxson Dart performed this season?

Jaxson Dart started the season on the bench as Russell Wilson was entrusted with the starting job. However, following three straight losses, Wilson was demoted to the bench, and Dart was handed his first start in his professional football career.

That start came against Jim Harbaugh's Los Angeles Chargers. Dart was decent in the game as he compiled a stat line of 111 passing yards, one passing touchdown, 10 carries, 54 rushing yards, and a touchdown in a 21-18 victory. His assured play at QB helped secure the Giants' first win of the season, and it came against one of the most in-form sides in the NFL.

Dart had a more subdued performance in his second start. The former Ole Miss star amassed a stat line of 202 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in his side's 26-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The loss dropped the Giants' record to 1-4 for the 2025 campaign.

Next up for Dart and Co. is a home game against defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are coming off their first loss of the season, and it could be a solid time for the Giants to make it two losses in a row for Jalen Hurts and Co.
