New York Giants 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the New York Giants.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Eli Manning385.7251.72738.514.089.6412.617.60.13149.12
Manning posted a career-high 66.0 completion percentage and seven-year high in Y/A (7.5), but he has a sub-4.0 TD% in back-to-back seasons. Replacing Odell Beckham with Golden Tate is not a one-for-one tradeoff and Manning has struggled (more than usual) without OBJ. At best, he's a low-end QB2 that could eventually lose his job at the most important time of the fantasy season.
Daniel Jones128.678.8925.94.443.349.433.80.1952.64
Dave Gettleman has talked about applying the Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers plan with Jones. Assuming that the Giants are out of the playoff hunt in December or sooner, however, it's difficult to envision a scenario where Jones doesn't make a few starts. Or as Pat Shurmur says, "[y]ou never know what is going to happen" in Week 1.

RUNNING BACKS

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Saquon Barkley299.81379.110.4977.6589.82.91277.29
The Giants ranked middle of the pack in total offense (17th) and scoring offense (16th), but Barkley was an absolute stud despite the mediocre offense. Leading the NFL in scrimmage yards, Barkley rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns and added 91 catches for 721 yards and four more touchdowns. Barkley is my top-ranked player across all formats.
Paul Perkins38.8143.60.787.862.40.1626.24
Wayne Gallman37.7150.80.66742.70.2124.57

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Sterling Shepard688674.762.114.70.02116.85
Shepard set career highs in targets (107), receptions (66), yards (872) and Y/A (13.2) last season. With Odell Beckham now in Cleveland, Shepard should establish new career highs in catches, yards and touchdowns.
Golden Tate71788.14.263.115.50.03106.1
Traded midseason, Tate failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in three seasons. Now with a new team, Tate and Shepard are the 1(a) and 1(b) options among the team's wide receivers. Both are solid WR3/flex options, but the offense clearly centers around Saquon Barkley and the quarterback situation is less than ideal.

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Evan Engram59.9733.84.94000103.02
Even though Engram missed five games last season, he has been one of the best fantasy tight ends on a point-per-game basis in his first two NFL seasons. In terms of fantasy PPG, Engram has finished as the TE4 and TE7 in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Coincidentally, Engram returned from injury just in time for the four games that Odell Beckham missed last season and Engram totaled 22/320/1 with a minimum of 75 yards per game over that four-game span to close the season. Among tight ends, only George Kittle had more fantasy points during that stretch.

2018 Fantasy Football QB Waiver-Wire Options Heading Into Week 4

Every week, we examine players that may be available on your league's waiver wire that could help your team in the short and/or long term.

For a player to be listed, he must be owned in 50 percent (or less) of Yahoo! leagues. The goal is to provide recommendations of players that have a greater chance of being available on your league's waiver wire. Of course, your league's size and settings could significantly impact whether these players (or better options) are available in your particular league(s).

Week 4 begins bye season as both Carolina (Cam Newton) and Washington (Alex Smith) have byes this week.

Fortunately for owners who need a bye-week replacement or those that stream, there are several quarterbacks likely to be on your league's free-agent pool with plus matchups. In fact, the five best matchups for Week 4 are for quarterbacks currently owned in less than half of Yahoo! leagues.

Embed from Getty Images

With that said, here are some quarterback waiver-wire options that I like heading into Week 4 (Yahoo! ownership in parenthesis):

[Note: Players listed below are sorted by my preference to add.]

1. Eli Manning, New York Giants (18 percent)

Manning had his best game of the season on Sunday as he completed 25-of-29 for nearly 300 yards (297) and two touchdowns. (In his first two games, Manning had just one touchdown and one interception.) Hosting his hometown team in Week 4, Eli and the Giants will have a chance to build upon their momentum.

Through Sunday's games, no team has allowed more fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks than the Saints, who have allowed a pair of five-TD performances from Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 1 and Matt Ryan in Week 3. In fact, there have been three 40-point fantasy performances this season and the Saints have allowed two of them; their own Drew Brees has the other.

2. Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins ( percent)

Yet to throw more than 28 pass attempts in a game, Tannehill and the Dolphins extended their unbeaten streak to 3-0 as they sit atop the AFC East. Facing Tom Brady and the Patriots in Week 4, it's likely that Tannehill airs it out more than 28 times this upcoming week as road underdogs.

Despite the relatively low volume, Tannehill has thrown multiple touchdowns in all three games this season. Through Sunday's games, Tannehill has the 12th-most fantasy points amongst quarterbacks and he's a solid streaming option this week.

3. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals ( percent)

Bad news first, Dalton threw four picks in Cincinnati's loss to Carolina on Sunday. That said, he has thrown multiple touchdowns in every game this season with a season-high 352 yards this past week. In addition, the volume has been there with 42-plus pass attempts in back-to-back weeks. With a road matchup against the Falcons, it's possible that his Week 4 matchup develops into a shootout.

4. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens ( percent)

Through three weeks, Flacco has a total of 129 pass attempts including 40-plus in back-to-back games. And if it weren't for a 44-point blowout of the Bills featuring Lamar Jackson in the second half, it'd likely be three consecutive games.

Going into Monday Night Football, the Steelers (Flacco's Week 4 opponent) have their share of problems, but the defense is the team's biggest concern at the moment. In their first two games, they allowed Tyrod Taylor (QB6) and Patrick Mahomes (QB1) to both finish as top-six weekly performers. A high-volume week in a plus matchup could be enough to make Flacco a viable Week 4 streamer.

5. Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns (12 percent)

With Tyrod Taylor concussed on Thursday night, Mayfield came in to complete 17-of-23 pass attempts for 201 yards as he led the Browns to come-from-behind victory, their first in more than 600 days. Not surprising (but now official), the Browns have announced that Mayfield will start Week 4 against the Raiders. Far from a weekly starter in fantasy for now, this year's No. 1 overall draft pick could be a fringe QB1 weeks when he has a plus matchup.

6. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (three percent)

Leading the Bills to a surprising win over the Vikings, Allen threw for 196 yards and a touchdown to go along with 10 carries for 39 yards and two touchdowns. The big, strong-armed rookie quarterback has the physical tools for some big -- yet uneven -- fantasy performances even if he isn't surrounded by a ton of talent. Facing another NFC North team, Allen and the Bills will head to Lambeau to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 4.

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDFLPoints
Eli Manning574.1364.6410525.814.414.825.20.63.5237.72
Passing on Sam Darnold (or another first-round quarterback) in the draft, the Giants will surround Manning with better (and healthier) 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, Eli could become a useful streaming option in 2018.
Davis Webb2.91.7190.10.10.91.8001.14

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Saquon Barkley301.71327.51044.2331.52.21.8235.5
Over the past two years, a rookie running back -- Ezekiel Elliott (2016) and Kareem Hunt (2017) -- has led the NFL in rushing. Could Barkley extend the rookie streak to three straight? Arguably the most talented back to enter the league in years, Barkley has a rare combination of size (233 pounds) and athleticism (4.4 forty and 41-inch vertical) with elite college production (3,801 YFS and 43 TDs over past two seasons).
Wayne Gallman71.5307.52.112.777.50.50.553.1
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 Gallman will spend most of 2018 watching Barkley from the sidelines.
Jonathan Stewart53.61931.97.955.30.30.437.23
Stewart has had a productive NFL career, but his primary role on this roster will be that of mentor for rookie Saquon Barkley with a few short-yardage and goal-line opportunities mixed in.

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Odell Beckham91.91240.710.62.213.200.6187.79
As much as he may 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.
Sterling Shepard70.1855.264.511.300.3122.05
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 provided he can stay healthy.
Cody Latimer30.5372.12.70000.452.61
Latimer posted career highs of 18 catches for 287 yards and two touchdowns last year. The former second-round pick will get a fresh start in New York as the team's WR3. With OBJ, Shepard, Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram all ahead of him for opportunities, however, it would take multiple injuries for him to be fantasy-relevant in most league formats.
Roger Lewis20.2238.41.60000.133.24
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 Rudolph4.4550.20000.16.5

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 won't see as much volume (115 targets) in 2018 with better health from Odell Beckham along with the addition of rookie Saquon Barkley.

Evan Engram55.8650.15.90000.1100.21
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.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: New York Giants

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the New York Giants.

Quarterbacks

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDFLPoints
Eli Manning561.2356.4401324.41414.624.80.63.5229.2
Passing on Sam Darnold (or another 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 a healthy receiving corps, stud rookie running back and 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

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Saquon Barkley306.51348.69.244.43332.41.8234.16
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.
Jonathan Stewart66.2244.92.69.365.10.50.448.8
Stewart has had a productive NFL career, but his primary role on this roster will be that of mentor for rookie Saquon Barkley.
Wayne Gallman44.1189.61.310610.50.534.86
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.

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Odell Beckham89.21204.210.32.213.200.6182.34
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.
Sterling Shepard67.8772.95.44.41100.3110.19
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). Assuming the team doesn't add free agent Dez Bryant, which doesn’t appear likely anyways, Shepard will have an opportunity to post full-season career highs as the team's WR2 opposite Beckham Jr.
Cody Latimer27.1330.62.40000.446.66
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 Lewis19.8233.61.60000.132.76
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 Rudolph5.771.30.30000.18.73
Kevin Norwood1.819.80.100002.58
