Fantasy Tiers

Brock Purdy: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) QB (ranked #6 at the position). Jaxson Dart: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) QB (ranked #14 at the position). Among the top 32 quarterbacks this season, Brock Purdy is producing at 90% of elite pace and Jaxson Dart at 79%. That ranking gap means Brock Purdy carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Brock Purdy vs Jaxson Dart: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Brock Purdy and Jaxson Dart for your lineup, you are not alone. Brock Purdy finished the 2025 season at 19.7 PPG for the San Francisco 49ers (9 games), and Jaxson Dart averaged 17.3 for the New York Giants (14 games).

That 2.4-point weekly advantage for Brock Purdy is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Jaxson Dart offers meaningful rushing upside with 487 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Brock Purdy (2167 passing yards, 20 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.

Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking quarterbacks this deep on your bench, plan your replacement quarterback early.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Brock Purdy (age 26) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons. Jaxson Dart (age 23) is in the early stages of his career with 5+ years of starter-caliber upside. His dynasty value is rising.
