Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Atlanta Falcons.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Matt Ryan	574.3	376.7	4249.8	26.42	11.49	31.7	101.4	1.11	269.49
Josh Rosen	30.2	18.6	214.4	1.18	0.86	4.5	10.8	0.04	12.9

Matt Ryan: There are a number of offseason changes that will impact Ryan's 2021 fantasy outlook -- new coaching staff, drafting Kyle Pitts, trading away Julio Jones, etc. While Arthur Smith may prefer to operate a run-first offense, personnel and game script may dictate a less run-heavy offense than some may otherwise expect. Even with a 17th regular-season game added to the schedule, Ryan's streak of three consecutive seasons with at least 608 pass attempts could come to an end in 2021.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mike Davis	204	785.4	5.92	44.5	328.1	2.3	182.92
Wayne Gallman	136	578	4.08	9.9	75.9	0.5	97.82
Keith Smith	12.5	26.3	0.25	4	33.5	0.2	10.68

Mike Davis: Filling in for a mostly-injured Christian McCaffrey in 2020, Davis performed as a top-15 (half-PPR) fantasy running back last season. Relatively limited competition for running back touches makes Davis a back-end RB2 or high-end flex option in 2021 with Arthur Smith taking over as Atlanta's head coach. That said, Wayne Gallman poses a much bigger threat to Davis' workload than Qadree Ollison did before him.

Wayne Gallman: The odd man out in San Francisco, Gallman lands in a spot that makes him an ideal late-round sleeper. With Saquon Barkley lost for most of the season, Gallman finished 2020 as a top-33 back with 147/682/6 rushing (4.6 YPC) and 21/114/0 receiving. It may not be the most likely of scenarios, but Gallman leading Atlanta's backs in fantasy production is not exactly the longest of long shots either.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Calvin Ridley	100.4	1348.2	7.9	4.5	20.3	0.09	234.99
Russell Gage	59.3	658.5	3.7	2.3	9	0.03	118.78
Cordarrelle Patterson	20.4	185.3	1.1	56.7	283.5	1.7	73.88
Olamide Zaccheaus	32.2	399.5	2.2	1.1	3.3	0.01	69.64
Christian Blake	17.4	187.5	1.1	0	0	0	34.05
Frank Darby	5.5	62.5	0.3	0	0	0	10.8
Tajae Sharpe	2.6	35.7	0.2	0	0	0	6.07

Calvin Ridley: Ridley closed the season the same way he started it -- with 100-plus yards in four of five games. Along with Davante Adams (six) and Stefon Diggs (three), Ridley was one of three receivers to finish as a top-two weekly fantasy receiver at least three times in 2020. Ridley finished last season with 90 catches on 143 targets for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns and is a top-four fantasy wide receiver in 2021 with Julio Jones in Tennessee.

Russell Gage: With the Falcons trading Julio Jones to Tennessee, Gage should rank second or third on the team in receiving behind Calvin Ridley and possibly/likely rookie Kyle Pitts in 2021. Gage set career highs across the board in 2020 with 72 catches, 110 targets, 786 yards and four touchdowns.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Kyle Pitts	63.2	776.8	5.3	141.08
Hayden Hurst	32.2	337	2.3	63.6
Lee Smith	3.8	35.7	0.3	7.27

Kyle Pitts: It's typically a difficult transition to the NFL for rookie tight ends, but Pitts isn't the typical tight end. The definition of a mismatch player in the mold of Darren Waller, Pitts has the potential to develop into fantasy's overall TE1 within a couple of years. The John Mackey Award winner, Pitts won't turn 21 until October, runs like a receiver (4.44 forty) and no pass-catcher over the past 20 drafts has had a larger wingspan.

Hayden Hurst: Hurst performed as the TE9 in half-PPR/PPR formats and the TE11 in non-PPR formats as he set career highs in targets (88), receptions (56), yards (571) and touchdowns (six) in year one in Atlanta. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, his weekly performance was inconsistent as he had five games with single-digit receiving yards. While Arthur Smith will run a TE-friendly offense, Kyle Pitts will make Hurst even more of a TD-dependent option in 2021.

Week 14 Fantasy Football RB Start'em, Sit'em

The decision on which player to start, or sit, largely comes down to the options on your roster (and/or possibly the players available on your league's waiver wire).

As an example, Jonathan Taylor is listed below as a "start" for Week 14. And I'd certainly be comfortable going into Week 14 with him as one of my starting running backs.

Then again, Taylor may be a "sit" for your team.

In other words, if you own Derrick Henry, James Robinson and Taylor and can only start two backs, you should start Henry and Robinson and, in turn, bench Taylor.

For a more direct answer on whether we would start Player X over Player Y, check our Week 14 Fantasy Football Rankings. Instead of making those direct comparisons, the goal here is to highlight players that we like, or dislike, for the week.

Week 14 Fantasy Football RB Start'em

Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (at LV)

Missing Week 12 after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Taylor returned to 13 carries for 91 yards and added three catches for 44 yards and a touchdown against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The second-round rookie now has consecutive games with more than 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown.

Perhaps most encouraging over his past couple of games has been the workload split. In those two games, Taylor has 42 touches, more than Nyheim Hines (18) and Jordan Wilkins (12) combined.

While Taylor gets another matchup against the Texans in Week 15, he has a favorable matchup this week as well against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (vs. HOU)

Speaking of favorable matchups against the Texans, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, it's Montgomery's turn. The second-year back goes into that matchup with some positive momentum.

Over the past two weeks, Montgomery has finished as fantasy's RB6 and RB1, respectively. The former Cyclone has 28 carries for 175 yards (6.25 YPC) and two touchdowns to go along with nine receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in those two games.

While most have drafted Montgomery as their team's RB2 and often felt unenthused about starting him, he is once again a solid RB1 in our Week 14 rankings.

Wayne Gallman, New York Giants (vs. ARI)

Even with Colt McCoy under center, Gallman was able to rush for a career-high 135 yards on 16 carries against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Not targeted in the passing game and failing to extend his scoring streak to six games, Gallman still finished the week as fantasy's RB15.

During that six-game stretch, here are Gallman's half-PPR weekly finishes: RB14, RB16, RB6, RB10, RB11 and RB15, respectively. That's six consecutive games as a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 and that's where we have him ranked this week as well. Over that six-game stretch, they have relied more on Gallman in the most recent three games (62 touches) versus the first three games (43).

Myles Gaskin, Miami Dolphins (vs. KC)

In his first game back from injury, Gaskin handled 23 touches against the Cincinnati Bengals and turned that into a season-high 141 scrimmage yards. Although he has missed several games, Gaskin has handled 21-plus touches in four consecutive games played and five of his past six.

While the Dolphins should rely on Gaskin and their ground game as much as possible to try to limit possessions for Patrick Mahomes, Gaskin's role as a receiver keeps him game-script independent should they fall behind early.

Week 14 Fantasy Football RB Sit'em

Raheem Mostert, San Francisco 49ers (vs. WAS)

Like always, it's important to check our fantasy rankings as opposed to going based off of this list specifically as Mostert is ranked as a high-end flex and could be an option if you start three backs. That said, he is technically ranked outside of top-24 options and is certainly not a must-start.

Returning from more than a month-long absence, it was encouraging to see Mostert handle 18 touches against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. To follow that up with a 10-touch, 43-yard scoreless outing against the Buffalo Bills, it's discouraging for managers that trusted Mostert as a solid RB2 in Week 13.

Teammate Jeff Wilson had nearly as many touches (nine) and there's always the potential that the team's other backs -- Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon -- will be more involved than expected. Combining the volume uncertainty with a difficult matchup, WFT allows the third-fewest fantasy points to the position, there is reason for managers to have trepidation with Mostert as the fantasy playoffs begin in most leagues.

Zack Moss (and Devin Singletary), Buffalo Bills (vs. PIT)

If forced to play a Bills running back this week, the choice would be Singletary over Moss, but both backs are ranked outside of our top 24 in Week 14. While Moss missed three games earlier in the season, the workload was fairly even from Weeks 6 (when he returned) to Week 12. During that stretch, Singletary had 60 touches and Moss had 59.

Last week, Singletary (21) dominated touches over Moss (four) as a punishment for (lack of) ball security. Even so, both backs finished outside the top-24 weekly running backs (although Singletary was RB25).

The duo gets another difficult matchup this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Only the New Orleans Saints have allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing running backs than the Steelers this season.

Le'Veon Bell, Kansas City Chiefs (at MIA)

With Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the sidelines, Bell handled the majority of running back touches for the Chiefs in Week 13. Bell failed to capitalize on the opportunity as he turned 13 touches into 55 scoreless yards against the Denver Broncos. With CEH active (and presumably playing) this week, Bell's return to single-digit touches and TD dependence is a near certainty.

While CEH ranks as a low-end RB2, he's been inconsistent with Bell in the mix too. Edwards-Helaire has averaged only 10.6 touches per game over his past five and scored less than 5.0 fantasy points in two of those outings. In other words, you could argue that the LSU rookie could be put on bust alert.

BUST ALERT: Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. NO)

Like Edwards-Helaire, Sanders is ranked inside my top-24 fantasy running backs (but just barely as the RB24). Over his past three games, Sanders has finished as the weekly RB34, RB40 and RB52, respectively. In addition, he has only eight and 10 touches in his past two games, respectively.

Perhaps the transition from Carson Wentz to Jalen Hurts provides a spark for Sanders, but the matchup is a difficult one for Sanders and for a rookie quarterback making his first NFL start. As noted above, no team has been stingier to fantasy running backs than the Saints.

Only the New York Jets have a lower implied total this week than the Eagles.

Week 13 Fantasy Football RB Start'em, Sit'em

The decision on which player to start, or sit, largely comes down to the options on your roster (and/or possibly the players available on your league's waiver wire).

As an example, J.K. Dobbins is listed below as a "start" for Week 13. And I'd certainly be comfortable going into Week 13 with him as one of my starting running backs.

Then again, Dobbins may be a "sit" for your team.

In other words, if you own Dalvin Cook, Nick Chubb and Dobbins and start only two running backs, you should start Cook and Chubb and, in turn, bench Dobbins.

For a more direct answer on whether we would start Player X over Player Y, check our Week 13 Fantasy Football Rankings. Instead of making those direct comparisons, the goal here is to highlight players that we like, or dislike, for the week.

Week 13 Fantasy Football RB Start'em

Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team (at PIT)

The former hybrid (WR/RB) player from Memphis (and before that, JuCo transfer), Gibson entered the NFL with limited touches but unreal efficiency.

Reaching 17 touches only once in his first six NFL games, the rookie has now reached that mark in four of his past five games. During that five-game stretch, he has finished as a top-12 running back every week. Expecting him to score each week, something he has done in five straight, would be unrealistic, but he's an elusive back with sub-4.4 speed at nearly 230 pounds.

While Washington is more than a touchdown underdog to the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's encouraging that Gibson had a season-high seven targets in Week 12. Including last week, he now has three catches in seven of his past nine games.

Even in a difficult matchup (the Steelers have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season), Gibson remains a top-10 fantasy option in Week 13.

David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (vs. DET)

It's rare that fantasy owners are excited to start Montgomery, but the second-year back exploited a favorable matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Montgomery carried the ball 11 times for 103 yards and added five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown.

This week, Montgomery gets an even better matchup against the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Not only do they allow 4.62 YPC on RB carries (sixth-most to the position), but running backs have scored 14 rushing touchdowns (tied for most) against them this season. In addition, no team has allowed more yards per reception (9.87) or receiving touchdowns (seven) to opposing running backs than the Lions this season.

J.K. Dobbins, Baltimore Ravens (vs. DAL)

For the most part, the Ravens have deployed a three-headed backfield with Dobbins, Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards when all three backs have been active. While Dobbins and Ingram did not travel to Pittsburgh for Wednesday's game due to COVID protocol, the team utilized Dobbins in more of a featured role in Week 11 (when all three backs were active).

In that game against the Tennessee Titans, Dobbins handled 15 carries for 70 yards (4.7 YPC) and a touchdown and added two catches for 15 yards. (Edwards and Ingram combined for five touches.) On the season, the former Buckeye is averaging 5.3 YPC and 10.3 Y/R.

Provided Dobbins gets a similar usage rate, the rookie is in a smash spot against the Dallas Cowboys, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

Wayne Gallman, New York Giants (at SEA)

Like Gibson, Gallman has a five-game scoring streak of his own. Over the past five weeks, he has a total of 93 touches including 11 receptions, 344 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns. The fourth-year back has finished as a top-16 running back in all five games.

Gallman had a season-high 27 touches last week, but negative game script could adversely impact him this week against the Seattle Seahawks. And Gallman has been anything but efficient, as he's averaged just 3.76 YPC over his five-game hot streak. Even so, there should be enough volume for Gallman to continue to perform as an RB2.

Week 13 Fantasy Football RB Sit'em

Todd Gurley (and/or Brian Hill and/or Ito Smith), Atlanta Falcons (vs. NO)

After sitting out Week 12, limited practice participation early this week puts Gurley on track to potentially return to the field on Sunday. To an extent, Gurley has exceeded fantasy expectations this season due to his nine rushing touchdowns -- only three running backs have more.

While his 167 rush attempts ranks seventh in the NFL, he has a very pedestrian 3.65 yards per carry. Even though he has more than 20 touches in three of his past five games, he has averaged only 56.0 YFS per game with a high of 82 over that span.

Even if he doesn't play this week, I'd sit any other Falcon running back as well given the difficult matchup. The New Orleans Saints have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. They have limited opposing running backs to the third-lowest YPC average (3.46) and the lowest TD% on RB rush attempts (1.36%).

Darrell Henderson, Los Angeles Rams (at ARI)

In today's NFL, there are few workhorse backs. Even so, the Rams spread the ball around enough that it makes all of their backs unworthy of a starting spot on your fantasy team(s).

Earlier in the season when Cam Akers missed time, Henderson was getting enough volume -- 15.5 touches per game from Weeks 2 to 7 -- to be productive (three top-12 performances in six games). Even though he has led the team in touches in back-to-back games, Henderson has no more than 10 touches in four consecutive games and has finished as the RB37, RB24, RB58 and RB64, respectively.

Le'Veon Bell, Kansas City Chiefs (vs. DEN)

When Bell signed with the Chiefs, there was some speculation that he could push rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire to be the 1(a) to CEH's 1(b) in Kansas City's backfield. In his five games as a Chief, however, Bell has single-digit touches in all five games with an average of seven per contest. During his five-game tenure, here's how the running back touches have been allocated: Edwards-Helaire 53, Bell 35 and Darrel Williams 15.

No team has a higher implied total this week than the Chiefs, who are two-TD home favorites. Positive game script could lead to a few more touches for the backs, but even when Bell scores a touchdown (like in Week 11), he barely finished inside the week's top 24 running backs (RB24 in Week 11).

Bell could be worth a dart throw in a DFS tournament, but if you're looking to secure a playoff berth or improve your playoff seeding, your team likely has two better options on your roster.

BUST ALERT: Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys (at BAL)

Not an outright "sit," Elliott has the potential to "bust" in Tuesday's matchup in Baltimore. In fact, he's "busted" in five of his past six games. Zeke has finished with more than 8.0 (half-PPR) fantasy points and inside the top 24 weekly running backs only once during that span.

The workload has been there, as Elliott has 20-plus touches in four of those six games, but the production hasn't. During that six-game span, he's exceeded 51 rushing yards only twice. And while he had six touchdowns in the five games that Dak Prescott played, he has scored only one touchdown over his past six.

The Ravens have been middle of the road in terms of YPC allowed to running backs (4.36, T-14th), but only the Saints (1.36%) have allowed a lower TD% on running back rush attempts than the Ravens (1.79%) this season.

Fantasy Football Week 11 RB Waiver Wire Rankings

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).

With that said, here are some running back waiver-wire options to consider heading into Week 11 (Yahoo! % rostered in parenthesis):

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

1. Nyheim Hines, Indianapolis Colts (40%)

Predicting when Hines will have a huge game is no easy task, but the third-down back is coming off a season-high 17-touch, 26-point fantasy performance in Week 10. Against the Titans, Hines led the Colts with 12 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown and added five catches for 45 yards and another score.

Over the past three weeks, Hines now has a pair of multiple-touchdown games where he has finished as the weekly RB7 (or better). (Counting Week 1, he has three such games.) Before setting a season high with 17 touches in Week 10, Hines had only 22 combined touches in his previous four games, which should give fantasy managers pause.

On a positive note (for Hines), however, Jonathan Taylor has single-digit touches in back-to-back games. Going forward, Hines' week-to-week usage will likely remain volatile. Even so, Hines and the backfield gets a favorable Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, who have surrendered the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

2. Wayne Gallman Jr., New York Giants (50%)

Even though he hasn't been an efficient runner (3.68 yards per carry) over the past four games, Gallman Jr. has certainly been productive. A fourth-round pick for the Giants in 2017, the fourth-year back has finished the past four weeks as fantasy's RB14 (Week 7), RB16 (Week 8), RB6 (Week 9) and is currently RB10 (Week 10) heading into Monday Night Football. During that four-game span, Gallman has at least 15 touches in three games and he has scored in all four games.

The Giants have a Week 11 bye, but the team placed Devonta Freeman on IR, which means that Gallman will get at least one more start. New York will face Cincinnati in Week 12.

3. Salvon Ahmed, Miami Dolphins (6%)

With Myles Gaskin on IR and Matt Breida out again, Ahmed built upon his seven-touch NFL debut in Week 9 to handle 22 touches in Week 10. The rookie carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and added a five-yard reception. Entering Monday Night Football, Ahmed has the 12th-most fantasy points (15.5) on the week. For as long as his former collegiate teammate (Gaskin) is out, Ahmed has a chance to maintain his lead-back role.

4. Kalen Ballage, Los Angeles Chargers (19%)

A few days ago, Austin Ekeler told fantasy owners that "the time draws near," which indicates that his return is approaching although he was inactive on Sunday. Once Ekeler is back, he will (obviously) be the team's lead back even if another back serves in the role of early-down complement.

Over the past two weeks, that role has emphatically belonged to Ballage. With a combined 40 touches over the past two games, Ballage had 18 carries for 68 yards and added five catches for 34 yards in Sunday's loss to Miami. If Ekeler is out another week (or more), Ballage will be a volume-based RB2 in Week 11 (or beyond).

5. Cam Akers, Los Angeles Rams (26%)

As part of a three-headed backfield, Akers is not a running back to play now -- and potentially not for the remainder of the season. That said, the rookie was more involved in Week 10 with a team-high 10 carries for 38 rushing yards. (Both Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown had eight touches each.) Akers now has at least nine carries in back-to-back games and the second-round pick has the talent to earn a larger role down the stretch. If you have the bench space, Akers is worth a stash.

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

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Eli Manning	385.7	251.7	2738.5	14.08	9.64	12.6	17.6	0.13	149.12
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 Jones	128.6	78.8	925.9	4.44	3.34	9.4	33.8	0.19	52.64
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

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Saquon Barkley	299.8	1379.1	10.49	77.6	589.8	2.91	277.29
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 Perkins	38.8	143.6	0.78	7.8	62.4	0.16	26.24
Wayne Gallman	37.7	150.8	0.66	7	42.7	0.21	24.57

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Sterling Shepard	68	867	4.76	2.1	14.7	0.02	116.85
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 Tate	71	788.1	4.26	3.1	15.5	0.03	106.1
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.
Cody Latimer	11.3	178.5	0.73	0	0	0	22.23
Corey Coleman	9.2	125.1	0.55	1	5	0	16.31

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Evan Engram	59.9	733.8	4.94	0	0	0	103.02
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.

Quarterbacks

Eli Manning	574.1	364.6	4105	25.8	14.4	14.8	25.2	0.6	3.5	237.72
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.

Saquon Barkley	301.7	1327.5	10	44.2	331.5	2.2	1.8	235.5
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 Gallman	71.5	307.5	2.1	12.7	77.5	0.5	0.5	53.1
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 Stewart	53.6	193	1.9	7.9	55.3	0.3	0.4	37.23
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

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 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 Shepard	70.1	855.2	6	4.5	11.3	0	0.3	122.05
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 Latimer	30.5	372.1	2.7	0	0	0	0.4	52.61
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 Lewis	20.2	238.4	1.6	0	0	0	0.1	33.24
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 Rudolph	4.4	55	0.2	0	0	0	0.1	6.5
Kevin Norwood	1.1	12.1	0.1	0	0	0	0	1.81

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.

2018 Fantasy Football Projecctions: New York Giants

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Eli Manning	574.1	364.6	4105	25.3	14.4	14.8	25.2	0.6	3.5	235.72
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, Manning will have a chance to bounce back in 2018 after finishing outside the top-20 fantasy quarterbacks in back-to-back seasons.

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.

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.

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

(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.
