Jaxson Dart start or sit: Week 4 fantasy football advice

Our long national nightmare is over. Jaxon Dart will start in Week 4 over Russell Wilson. Sure, Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns against the Cowboys in Week 2, but holy heck he was bad against the Chiefs last week. His 4th down doink off the goalpost probably sealed his fate, but even if Wilson somehow is the better quarterback for this team, Dart is likely better for fantasy.

Dart is a good rusher, will attack through the air, and is just younger and not as risk averse as old man Wilson. How good he is for fantasy is yet to be seen but his rushing prowess is truly an X-factor that can unlock another tier of upside. Unfortunately, he starts his NFL career against the Chargers tough defense.

Below, we’ll go over Jaxson Dart’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 4.

So far the Chargers have allowed just a 57.9% completion rate, which ranks fifth-best in the league. Their yards per attempt allowed ranks second at 5.52. And they’re one of four teams that have allowed fewer touchdown passes (2) to interceptions (3).

Dart does have a stud WR1 in Malik Nabers and when you add in his likely rushing production, he could easily be a quarterback with starting upside each week. And if he were getting his first start against the Saints, who they play next week, I’d be much more apt to stream him without knowing how he’ll do under the bright lights. But I[m going to hold off this week.

Sit.
