Cause he has so much rust that he needs to shake off. I mean, he had an off season knee surgery, and then he rehabbed the issue in jail. Hey, I'm Liz Loza, this is Facts vs. Feelings, and today's fact is there is a first time for everything.

Hello, Daniel Dopp, back in your tiny box. It is week one. Football is officially here. How you feeling?

Daniel Dopp (0:43)

Feeling great, my friend. Super excited. Listen, we're not talking about Wednesday, even though it was so unbelievable to have football back in our lives. We're not talking about Thursday. We are getting people ready for the Sunday slate of games here, Liz Loza. And I want to dive right in, because there's a lot of football we got to talk about. Plus, we want to have some fun a little later on in the show. So I'm going to start here at the quarterback spot, my friend, with a guy like Jaxson Dart.

He was a banger when he was healthy last season.

Wasn't really able to stay healthy last season, but you know what? There's a first time for everything, Liz Loza. How are you feeling about him against the Dallas Cowboys here in week one?

Liz Loza (1:21)

Way to weave it all together. Yeah, nothing says football is back like an NFC East rivalry game kick off the season and what better time to your point than to use a player who has proclivity towards finding the blue medical tent in week one when he's actually healthy. Jaxson Dart started four games against the Division last season. I went over 19 fantasy points in each of them. I expect him to do the same this Sunday versus a Dallas defense that gave up, wait for it, 30 fantasy points to Russell Wilson when he was the giant starter. Obviously, we can agree that Dart is more dynamic than Wilson, particularly from a rushing perspective. Last season, Dart was the QB one in rushing yards, and that sets up very nicely against a Dallas defense that allowed the third most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2025 I have Dart ranked inside my top seven players at the position for the opener.

Daniel Dopp (2:19)

I'm with you on Jaxson Dart, Liz. Also have him as a top seven guy. Really quickly on that Cowboys defense, we did add a number of pieces to it, so we do think it will be quite a bit better this year, but it usually takes defenses and all teams a little bit of time, right, to actually come to fruition with all that. So week one, not a bad time for Jaxson Dart to draw them as they're still learning each other there. I also have him as a top seven guy, so I am with you.
