There’s definitely a wide range of outcomes for Jaxson Dart heading into year 1, but the upside is easy to see.

The arm talent and mobility give him real fantasy appeal, especially if the offense leans into quicker reads and movement-based concepts. His ability to push the ball downfield and create outside structure could lead to some big fantasy weeks.

The biggest concern is consistency and adjusting to NFL defenses. Still, if the coaching staff builds around his strengths and he earns stable starting reps early, there’s a real path for him to outperform expectations.

Does much change from last year with a new head coach?

The first two years for Bucky were a bit of a rollercoaster: 2024 showed flashes of RB1 upside, while 2025 was more inconsistent week-to-week.

Still, there’s a lot of optimism heading into year 3. The coaching staff seems committed to getting him involved in space, where his burst, vision, and ability to make defenders miss really stand out. A more efficient offense and improved o-line play should also help create more consistent production and scoring chances.

The biggest question is workload. If they keep rotating backs near the goal line or on passing downs, it could limit the elite upside. But if Bucky earns a larger share of touches, there’s definitely a path back toward high-end RB production.

Feels more likely we get a version closer to his upside season than the disappointing stretches from last year.
