Jaxson Dart vs Spencer Rattler: Who Should You Start?
Jaxson Dart and Spencer Rattler are at different tiers heading into 2026. The New York Giants quarterback averaged 17.6 PPG in 2025, a full 6.1 points per game ahead of Spencer Rattler's 11.5 with the New Orleans Saints. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
Jaxson Dart carries a 6.1-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Jaxson Dart offers meaningful rushing upside with 487 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Spencer Rattler (1586 passing yards, 8 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.
Jaxson Dart has his bye in Week 11, and Spencer Rattler rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at quarterback for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
