Where does Jaxson Dart's supporting New York Giants cast rank?

While the New York Giants offense appears improved on paper, Jaxson Dart's supporting cast still ranks relatively low.

Does New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart have significant help around him compared to the other starting quarterbacks in the NFL? FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano ranks the strength of Dart’s supporting cast 20th out of all 32 teams in the league. If Malik Nabers hadn’t torn his ACL last season, the Giants would be higher on this list.

Maybe much higher. They have a deep receiving corps without Nabers, especially after signing Darnell Mooney and drafting Malachi Fields in the third round this offseason. And the addition of Isaiah Likely gives the Giants potentially the most dangerous TE they’ve had in years.

They also have what one scout told me is a "sneaky good" running game behind a much-improved offensive line. If second-year back Cam Skattebo can fully recover from his devastating leg injury, he’ll join Tyron Tracy and Devin Singletary in a potent rotation. All that may be enough for the offense to be good around second-year QB Jaxson Dart, "but Nabers changes everything," one scout told me.

"I didn’t think he played great as a rookie (in 2024). He had too many drops and his quarterback play was awful. But look at the numbers he put up (109-1,204-7).
