Dynasty Market Report — September 29, 2026

The Lede

Jaxson Dart sits at DME 4,989 after a -23.34% haircut this week — and that number still leading all QBs in today's report by a country mile tells you everything about the gap between his ceiling and the current panic. Whatever spooked the market on Dart in Week 3, dynasty managers are looking at the single most valuable quarterback asset in this data set getting marked down a quarter in seven days. That's the story today.

Who's Rising

J.J. McCarthy's +74.93% surge to DME 1,312 is the most violent single-week QB move in today's report, almost certainly tied to a return from injury or a sudden starter designation in Minnesota — buy the confirmation, not the rumor, because that DME still reflects significant uncertainty baked in. Marcus Mariota at DME 1,262 (+41.01%) and Deshaun Watson at DME 1,457 (+27.25%) are both bridge-QB bounces worth monitoring but not chasing in Superflex; the real gem here is Denzel Boston at DME 2,486 (+32.73%), whose jump suggests Cleveland's passing game is consolidating targets around him fast — add him in any league where he's available.

Who's Falling

Jaxson Dart's slide to DME 4,989 is a buy-low alarm, not a sell signal — his floor remains elite relative to every other QB in today's data, and short-term noise on a young Giants franchise arm shouldn't move your dynasty timeline. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (-25.64%, DME 1,218) and Jayden Reed (-24.98%, DME 1,099) are trickier; both look like genuine usage or health concerns rather than market overreaction, so wait for clarity before committing buy-low capital.

The Move

Target Jaxson Dart owners directly, today. His DME 4,989 post-dip is still the highest QB value in this report by a massive margin, meaning the seller is emotionally responding to a bad week while the asset itself remains structurally sound. Offer a win-now piece — Baker Mayfield at DME 2,933 fits perfectly as the headliner — and recoup Dart at a discount that could look absurd by Week 8.
