Jaxson Dart vs. Titans — Knee Sprain Jeopardizes Week 3 Availability

Dart exited early during Week 2 and was diagnosed with a sprained MCL, leaving him officially doubtful for Week 3 against Tennessee. Reports indicate he could miss two to four weeks, which would elevate veteran Jameis Winston under center for the Giants.

While our models tentatively project him for 14.8 fantasy points with roughly 158 passing yards and 25 rushing yards, starting him is far too risky given his injury designation. With his status heavily compromised, fantasy managers should look for alternative options and check back often for official updates as kickoff approaches.

Outlook Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson vs. Panthers — Building Momentum Heading into Home Opener

Deshaun Watson solidified his grip on the starting job following an efficient performance against Tampa Bay, completing 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns. Head coach Todd Monken praised his play, putting benching questions to rest as Cleveland prepares to host Carolina.

Watson remains rostered in only 3% of leagues and started in 1%, keeping him off the radar in standard leagues. Our weekly projection estimates 14.7 fantasy points with 212 passing yards and 22 rushing yards. With a modest projected scoring environment at home, Watson is best left on the bench outside of deep multi-quarterback formats.
