Giants and Bills opened Week 1 of the NFL preseason with New York pulling ahead 34-25 behind a lively QB rotation. Jaxson Dart flashed, completing 12 of 19 passes for 154 yards and adding 24 rushing yards, capping a drive with a deep, perfectly placed end-zone shot. He, along with Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito, gave the Giants a multi-headed approach that kept the offense productive in chunks. Buffalo countered with a surgical pass rush from Deone Walker, who finished with three QB pressures and led the game in pass-rush win rate, while Abdul Carter and Trace Ford also elicited pressure on the edges.

The box score paints a balanced picture: 76 Giants plays to 55 Bills plays, Giants totaling 374 yards to Buffalo’s 404, and both teams finishing red-zone with two TDs. The Giants moved the ball efficiently across multiple quarterbacks, while Buffalo’s defense showed inventiveness up front. PFF graders highlighted Walker’s performance as the standout for the Bills in a game that also featured strong showings from Carter and Ford. Projected fantasy fallout centers on Dart’s ceiling and a possible deeper Giants QB battle, alongside a Bills defense that anchored the effort with interior pressure.

In a broader fantasy context, Week 1 signals that Dart could be a late-season spec for dynasty rosters if his development continues, while Winston and DeVito provide insurance for the Giants’ depth chart. Bills notes are more defensive upside than offensive, but Walker’s disruptive presence invites attention to Buffalo’s run of upcoming preseason snaps. PFF+ promotions aside, this game underscored the value of early career film as teams sort their Week 1 roles.
