The Bottom Line

Jaxson Dart is the better fantasy play this season.

Jaxson Dart has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 4.5-PPG advantage is real (17.3 to 12.8), and Jaxson Dart's 24 touchdowns show scoring upside. Malik Willis is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Jaxson Dart: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) QB (ranked #14 at the position). Malik Willis: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) QB (ranked #30 at the position). Among the top 32 quarterbacks this season, Jaxson Dart is producing at 79% of elite pace and Malik Willis at 58%. That ranking gap means Jaxson Dart carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Jaxson Dart vs Malik Willis: The Full Breakdown

Jaxson Dart and Malik Willis are both viable fantasy quarterbacks heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Jaxson Dart averaged 17.3 PPG across 14 games with the New York Giants, while Malik Willis posted 12.8 PPG in 4 appearances for the Green Bay Packers.

A 4.5-PPG gap gives Jaxson Dart the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Jaxson Dart offers meaningful rushing upside with 487 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Malik Willis (422 passing yards, 3 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 8 and Malik Willis Week 11. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Jaxson Dart at a discount because your league-mates undervalue quarterback production, do it. Malik Willis is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Jaxson Dart (age 23) is in the early stages of his career with 5+ years of starter-caliber upside. His dynasty value is rising. Malik Willis (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
