Giants coach Brian Daboll has pivoted to Jaxson Dart, and the move is paying dividends as New York has opened games with TD drives in all three starts for Dart, going 2-1 in that span. The sustained progress has Daboll flirting with a more stable future, even as a concussion-protocol investigation looms after the Philly game. Across the league, several top-7 picks have underperformed, but Daboll’s gamble on youth gives the Giants a tangible path forward and shifts the coaching-fire chatter in his direction.

Meanwhile, Daboll’s quarterback shift highlights a broader coaching-odds landscape where Mike McDaniel leads the firing-pool, with Stefanski and Daboll among the contenders. The upcoming test at Denver, led by Payton, will be a true barometer. For fantasy and betting, the Dart era in New York under Daboll represents a critical pivot point, where continued success could redefine the season and the franchise’s trajectory.

Spencer Rattler's rise keeps Saints fans hopeful despite a rough 1-5 start. In six starts this season he’s completed 68.5% of passes for 1,217 yards with six TDs and one INT, plus 143 rushing yards, lifting his team’s competitive edge. A pair of late-week efforts — 225 yards and a TD against the Giants, then 227 on 76.9% completions vs. New England — fueled belief he’s growing into a true NFL starter. The looming test: Williams-led Chicago, a reminder that faith is vested in youth.

Saints supporters also eye Chris Olave's rising trade buzz and the overall offense, which has been one-score-close in several losses. With Rattler at 25 as the youngest QB on the active roster, the trajectory feels real enough to sustain fantasy optimism, even as the win column stares at 1-5.
