Trent Taylor (back) questionable for Week 10

The Giants have gotten some good news, for now, regarding quarterback Jaxson Dart’s knee injury.

Via NFL Network, it’s believed that Dart suffered a sprained MCL.

The assessment is based on a preliminary exam. X-rays were negative, and an MRI will be conducted on Tuesday.

As the story points out, the MCL can heal with rest and rehab, unless the tendon is completely torn, so it's overall good news for the Giants and for Dart fantasy owners. SNY is posting on X the Giants are prepared for a timeline of 2-3, 2-4 weeks for Dart to return. Winston is the team's QB2 and should take over as the starter. Although he didn't look comfortable at times on MNF against the Rams, a full week or practice could cure that. The Giants also have the schedule working in their favor. They host the Titans on Sunday, with the Cardinals next and a visit to the Commanders after that. Winston certainly could have some fantasy QB value going forward.

The Giants officially ruled out Jaxson Dart for the second half, but ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge delivered a positive update from General Manager Joe Schoen.

The Giants are still evaluating the injury, with Dart getting an X-ray at SoFi Stadium, but Schoen told Rutledge that Dart is “going to be OK.”

It's a tough blow for the Giants who turned things over to Winston, and he has not looked comfortable at all in the first half. As for Dart, the story pointed out Schoen's comments could mean Dart did not, presumably, tear a ligament in his left knee, and will return this season. If you've been on social media looking for any kind of Dart news, there are comments about it being a 4-6 weeks injury from those who can read lips from a conversation between HC John Harbaugh and a member of the training staff that was caught on camera. While it may be a stretch to believe, that would also kind of fall in line with Schoen's comments. Hopefully we'll know more after the game or by Tuesday morning. It's also possible we have to wait until the Giants get back to New York. For now, it looks like Dart owners are going to need another option at their fantasy QB position, at least for the short term.

The Chargers have one tight end on its active roster.

Gadsden's up and down career continues. A highly-valued rookie last year, Gadsden had a nice campaign in 2025 before the team signed Kolar and Njoku this offseason, pushing him down the depth chart. Gadsden scored a touchdown in Week 2 and now looks to be the TE1 - at least for the next four weeks. He'll likely be targeted a lot this week on the wire.
