Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the New York Giants.
Quarterbacks
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eli Manning | 571.2 | 362.7 | 4084 | 25.1 | 14.3 | 14.8 | 25.2 | 0.6 | 3.5 | 234.28 |
| Passing on Sam Darnold (or another first-round quarterback) in the draft, the Giants will surround Manning with better talent in 2018. The Giants lacked (the threat of) a running game, had one of the league's worst offensive lines and their receiving corps was decimated by injuries. With healthy receivers, a stud rookie running back and an improved offensive line, Manning will have a chance to bounce back in 2018 after finishing outside the top-20 fantasy quarterbacks in back-to-back seasons. | ||||||||||

Running Backs
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saquon Barkley | 306.2 | 1347.3 | 9.8 | 44.6 | 334.5 | 2.2 | 1.8 | 236.58 |
| Over the past two years, a rookie running back -- Ezekiel Elliott (2016) and Kareem Hunt (2017) -- has led the NFL in rushing. Arguably the most talented back to enter the league since Adrian Peterson, Barkley has a rare combination of size (233 pounds) and athleticism (4.4 forty and 41-inch vertical) and was highly productive (3,801 YFS and 43 TDs over past two seasons) at Penn State. The do-it-all back is a top-five fantasy option with legitimate upside to lead the position in fantasy points as a rookie. | ||||||||
| Wayne Gallman | 61.7 | 265.3 | 1.9 | 12.3 | 75 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 47.43 |
| Given the team's multiple offensive woes in 2017, Gallman had a highly respectable rookie season -- 111/476 (4.29 YPC) rushing and 34/193/1 receiving. Gallman's 4.29 YPC was a half-yard better than the rest of the team (3.79 YPC), but like with Stewart, Gallman will spend most of 2018 watching Barkley from the sidelines. | ||||||||
| Jonathan Stewart | 58.1 | 209.2 | 1.7 | 7.9 | 55.3 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 37.65 |
| Stewart has had a productive NFL career, but his primary role on this roster will be that of mentor for rookie Saquon Barkley. | ||||||||

Wide Receivers
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Odell Beckham | 91.9 | 1240.7 | 10.6 | 2.2 | 13.2 | 0 | 0.6 | 187.79 |
| As much as he may do things to frustrate the front office and organization off the field and/or on the sidelines, there are few players as talented as Beckham Jr. on the field. Last season was lost to injury, but OBJ had more than 90 catches, 1,300 yards and double-digit touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons. With good health, the contract-year wideout should post similar numbers in 2018, but reports are that a holdout is still "on the table." | ||||||||
| Sterling Shepard | 71.2 | 818.8 | 6.1 | 4.5 | 11.3 | 0 | 0.3 | 119.01 |
| Even though he missed five games, Shepard posted a career high in receiving yards (731) and set a career high in receptions on a per-game basis (5.36). Shepard will have an opportunity to post full-season career highs as the team's WR2. | ||||||||
| Cody Latimer | 30.5 | 372.1 | 2.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 52.61 |
| A massive disappointment as a second-round pick in 2014, Latimer posted career highs of 18 catches for 287 yards and two touchdowns last year. (Latimer had just 16 catches in his first three seasons combined.) That said, Latimer gets a fresh start in New York with the potential to be the team's WR3. It would take an injury for him to be fantasy-relevant in most league formats, but it's possible that he posts new career highs in his first season with the G-Men. | ||||||||
| Roger Lewis | 19.6 | 231.3 | 1.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 32.53 |
| Lewis posted a 36/416/2 line in 2017 and will compete with Latimer for opportunities in three-WR sets. Like with Latimer, Lewis won't have much fantasy relevance without an injury to OBJ and/or Shepard. | ||||||||
| Travis Rudolph | 4.1 | 51.3 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 6.13 |
| Kevin Norwood | 1.9 | 20.9 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2.69 |

Tight Ends
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evan Engram | 57.7 | 672.2 | 6.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 103.62 |
| Rookie tight ends typically struggle, but Engram had a highly productive rookie season (64/722/6, TE5). Based on talent, Engram could take another step forward in 2018, but he may not see as much volume (115 targets) in 2018 with better health from Odell Beckham and the team's receivers along with the addition of rookie Saquon Barkley. | ||||||||
| Rhett Ellison | 16.6 | 157.7 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 21.77 |
| Jerell Adams | 7.3 | 65.7 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 8.77 |
