Jaxson Dart vs Kyler Murray: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Jaxson Dart finished the 2025 season at 17.6 PPG over 14 games with the New York Giants, while Kyler Murray clocked in at 16.2 across 5 appearances for the Minnesota Vikings. A 1.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Jaxson Dart offers meaningful rushing upside with 487 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Kyler Murray (962 passing yards, 6 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.
One scheduling note: Jaxson Dart is off Week 11 and Kyler Murray Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
