Jaxson Dart flashed command and big-play ability in his New York Giants preseason finale, wrapping a summer that has him contending for NYG’s QB depth with a sharp start-and-drive and a highlight reel 50-yard connection to Gunner Olszewski. A late 4th-down scramble negligible after a penalty, plus a head-injury check that cleared, underscored the teachable moments a rookie will face on game nights and in practice.

Greg Dulcich surfaced as a true depth-chart foil in a tight end room that already features Theo Johnson and Chris Manhertz, with Daniel Bellinger looming as the next man up. His two TDs capped a strong summer and could tilt the Giants’ 53-man decision toward using him more heavily in two-TE sets if Dulcich continues to force attention. Javon Baker provided special-teams value for New England, while Cole Strange endured a rough stretch at center and Kyle Dugger added a late defensive spark, though his future in Foxborough remains up in the air.

On the Patriots side, the WR room remains a carnival of testing, with undrafted wins and veteran bridges fighting for a sixth or seventh spot. The night crystallized a few roster questions: which young players can step up on kick coverage and return duties, and where the final few gunner slots land in a crowded, versatile group. In all, the exhibition delivered meaningful data for fantasy managers eyeing late-summer depth and potential week-one impact, especially at TE and special-teams roles.

In sum, Dart’s in-game look, Dulcich’s emergence, and the Patriots’ roster conversations set the stage for a frenzied cut-down period. The Giants leave summer with tangible optimism about their quarterback future and depth at tight end, while New England heads into the week of roster decisions still sorting a receiver corps that could swing several fantasy lineups in September.
