The young offensive duo of Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers had sparked endless hopes for the New York Giants. Unfortunately, Nabers’ severe injury in the game against the Los Angeles Chargers puts this partnership on hold for now. What other passing options does the QB for the rest of the 2025 NFL season?

According to the Giants’ official depth chart on their website, some of the wide receivers Jaxson Dart can rely on are veteran Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and rookie Beaux Collins.

Slayton is arguably the most seasoned and reliable target, while Wan’Dale Robinson brings versatility and speed out of the slot. Meanwhile, rookie Beaux Collins now has a golden opportunity to prove himself at the professional level.

Joining this intriguing group of receivers are Jalin Hyatt and Gunner Olszewski, who may be slightly further down the depth chart when it comes to seeing action on the field. It’s worth noting that both Bryce Ford-Wheaton and Da’Quan Felton are currently unavailable due to injuries.
