QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Daniel Jones531.1353.23717.720.719.0390.7462.63.63281.53
Tyrod Taylor36.922.7258.31.40.636.837.40.2720.03

Daniel Jones: Underrated as a runner, Jones had 120 carries for 720 yards and seven touchdowns last season after racking up 172/1,000/5 (5.8 YPC) rushing in his first three seasons (2019-21). The Giants have added several new pass catchers to the roster, which should help improve his anemic passing numbers (3.2 TD% and 6.8 Y/A in 2022). Jones, who finished as fantasy's QB9 in 2022, should be drafted as a fringe QB1.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Saquon Barkley254.11092.67.6243.8314.11.6217.89

Gary Brightwell20.488.70.536.447.70.321.82

Saquon Barkley: Barkley had missed at least three games in each of the previous three seasons, but he stayed healthy in 2022 and delivered for fantasy managers. Perhaps less involved as a receiver than expected, especially given the team's 2022 wide receiver woes, Barkley ended the year with 352 combined touches including 57 receptions, 1,650 YFS and 10 touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints

Wan'Dale Robinson30.4318.11.82.311.50.0959.5
Sterling Shepard23.5262.41.600047.59

Parris Campbell: Campbell appeared in only 15 games through his first three seasons, but he stayed healthy for a full 17-game season in 2022 as he finished the year with 63 receptions for 623 yards and three touchdowns. The former Colt is expected to start in the slot, and a repeat of last year's numbers are within reach.

Isaiah Hodgins: Signed off of Buffalo's practice squad in the middle of the season, Hodgins was productive for the WR-needy Giants in the second half last season after reuniting with Brian Daboll, his former offensive coordinator in Buffalo. The former sixth-rounder (2020) had 33/351/4 on 42 targets over eight games with the Giants. It wouldn't be a surprise if he led the Giants' receiving corps in receiving in 2023.

Darius Slayton: Slayton started slow (inactive Week 1 and 18 offensive snaps through Week 3), but he led the team in receiving yards (724) last season. Slayton averaged 15.7 yards per reception and he had half (14) of the team's 28 receptions of 20-plus yards in 2022. It's possible that Jalin Hyatt, the team's third-round pick, could leapfrog him on the depth chart by the end of the year.

TIGHT ENDS

Daniel Bellinger19.2200.81.200036.88
Lawrence Cager3.435.80.20006.48

Darren Waller: A couple of seasons removed from back-to-back 1,100-yard campaigns, Waller is clearly the top weapon in New York's passing attack. While he has been limited to only 20 games over the past two seasons, his 17-game pace is 71/895/4 during that stretch.

Failing to reach an agreement on a long-term extension before the July 17th deadline, Barkley and the Giants agreed to terms on a modified one-year contract, which is helpful given the current landscape of tension between star running backs and teams.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: New York Giants

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

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the New York Giants.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Daniel Jones543.4344383123.9112.7767.8393.21.86273.82
Mike Glennon37.823.42571.660.98715.40.0416.74

Daniel Jones: The offseason was kind to Jones. With the Giants signing Kenny Golladay to a four-year contract as the team's WR1 and drafting Kadarius Toney in the first round, the rest of the team's solid group of pass-catchers -- Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, Evan Engram, etc. -- will have easier opportunities. The upgrades to the receiving corps combined with his sneaky rushing upside gives Jones the potential to outperform his draft-day cost.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Saquon Barkley262.11179.59.1754437.42.5258.71
Devontae Booker62.8273.21.4819.3153.30.765.38
Gary Brightwell17.474.80.351.816.40.112.72
Elijhaa Penny6.614.90.15.740.90.19.63

Saquon Barkley: As a rookie, Barkley was about as good as it gets. Technically, Todd Gurley was better (fantasy's RB1), but Barkley was the RB2 in his rookie season and led the NFL in scrimmage yards (2,028), scored 15 touchdowns and hauled in 91 catches. Injuries have kept him out of 17 of the team's past 19 games and he may be eased in slowly as he returns from last year's torn ACL. If his health cooperates in 2021, however, Barkley has the skill set to finish as a top-three back.

Devontae Booker: It appears that Barkley (ACL) will be ready for Week 1, but Booker enters 2021 as his handcuff and could get a larger-than-usual share of the workload early if the team eases Barkley in.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Kenny Golladay70.71007.75.9000171.52
Sterling Shepard58594.83.62.923.50.15113.33

Collin Johnson13.8181.91.400033.49
C.J. Board3.140.90.30007.44

Kenny Golladay: Golladay exceeded the 1,000-yard milestone in back-to-back seasons (2018 and 2019) with the Lions and led the NFL in receiving touchdowns (11) in 2019. Although 2020 was a lost season due to a hip injury, Golladay had either 100-plus yards or 50-plus yards and a score in the four games he played before sustaining the injury. Signing a four-year deal with the Giants, the QB downgrade from Matthew Stafford to Daniel Jones and a more crowded receiver room limits his ceiling.

Sterling Shepard: Shepard missed four games in 2020 and he has now missed four-plus games in three of the past four seasons. Adding Golladay to the receiving corps pushes Shepard down a spot on the depth chart, but we project him for the second-most snaps among the team's receivers.

Kadarius Toney: Toney missed a bunch of time during camp and is likely to be eased in slowly. In fact, that is what The Athletic's Dan Duggan expected before he missed a lot of time during training camp. As the season progresses, however, the first-rounder should become increasingly more involved in the game plan.

Darius Slayton: Excluding the year-over-year drop in touchdowns (eight to three), Slayton's 2020 numbers (50/751) were nearly identical to his rookie numbers (48/740) in 2019. Even if Kadarius Toney is eased in slowly, the first-rounder's presence (along with Golladay's) means that any of the team's receivers outside of Golladay will be difficult to trust.

TIGHT ENDS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Evan Engram47.2490.63.13.3190.1393.94
Kyle Rudolph21.9208.51.600041.4
Kaden Smith3.934.70.40007.82

Evan Engram: After two injury-plagued seasons, Engram was able to play a full 16-game slate and finished with 63 catches for 654 yards and only one touchdown. Not only was the single touchdown disappointing for fantasy managers, but Engram's YPG (40.9) and Y/R (10.4) were both career lows. While Engram led NYG in targets (109) last season, the addition of Kenny Golladay as the team's top pass-catching option and selection of Kadarius Toney in the first round could lead to less week-to-week consistency in targets for Engram.

Devontae Booker: Even though the team recently added Alfred Morris, Booker is likely the favorite for RB2 duties (and RB1 duties if Barkley isn't ready to go for Week 1).

Kenny Golladay: Golladay exceeded the 1,000-yard milestone in back-to-back seasons (2018 and 2019) with the Lions and led the NFL in receiving touchdowns (11) in 2019. Although 2020 was a lost season due to a hip injury, Golladay had either 100-plus yards or 50-plus yards and a score in the four games he played before sustaining the injury. Signing a four-year deal with the Giants, the QB downgrade from Matthew Stafford to Daniel Jones and a more crowded receiver room limits his ceiling a bit. One other thing to monitor is Golladay's hamstring pull, which is not considered a significant injury.

Sterling Shepard: Shepard missed four games in 2020 and he has now missed four-plus games in three of the past four seasons. Adding Golladay to the receiving corps pushes Shepard down a spot on the depth chart, but he'll likely see the second-most snaps among the team's receivers barring injury.

Kadarius Toney: The Athletic's Dan Duggan expects the "Giants to bring Toney along slowly" and writes that "his offensive snaps will likely begin with specialized packages with the hope that he’ll grow into a bigger role as the season progresses."

Darius Slayton: Excluding the year-over-year drop in touchdowns (eight to three), Slayton's 2020 numbers (50/751) were nearly identical to his rookie numbers (48/740) in 2019. Even if Kadarius Toney is eased in slowly, the first-rounder's presence (along with Golladay's) means that any of the team's receivers outside of Golladay will be difficult to trust barring injury.

New York Giants 2020 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2020 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2020 fantasy football projections for the New York Giants.

QUARTERBACKS


PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Daniel Jones557.6355.53986.827.0413.9454.8301.42.19283.03
As is expected with any rookie quarterback, it was an up-and-down season for Jones, who will need to cut down on turnovers (especially fumbles) heading into year two. In terms of upside, however, only Lamar Jackson (seven) had more games finishing as a top-two weekly performer at quarterback than Jones (four) last season. It wouldn't surprise us if Jones turned in a Josh Allen-like second-year performance and he's one of our favorite QB2/streamers in 2020.
Colt McCoy38.823.7256.11.41.091.97.20.0314.56

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Saquon Barkley256.41192.38.9760.3491.42.56237.55
Missing a few games early in the season, Barkley closed a relatively disappointing season with some positive momentum -- 393 rushing yards, 146 receiving yards and five touchdowns in his final three games. Barkley will run behind an improved offensive line in 2020 (although Nate Solder has opted out) and has the skill set to challenge Christian McCaffrey for the top spot in fantasy production.
Dion Lewis22.385.90.2224.1161.51.0232.18
Barring injury, Lewis will provide the occasional breather to Barkley, but it's unlikely that he gets many more opportunities than he had last year (79 touches) in Tennessee.
Wayne Gallman26.9103.60.43.120.20.1115.44
Elijhaa Penny3.7130.062.2130.043.2

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Darius Slayton57.8820.86.07000118.5
Slayton, who ran a sub-4.4 forty and posted a 40.5" vertical at the combine, made a bigger-than-expected impact as a rookie. In his first season, he finished with 48/740/8 and had a pair of games with 120-plus yards and multiple touchdowns in the second half of the season. A concern for Slayton heading into 2020 is that the team's three other top pass-catchers -- Sterling Shepard (six), Evan Engram (eight) and Golden Tate (five) -- all missed at least five games in 2019, so there could be less to go around if the team has better health in 2020.
Sterling Shepard71.7817.45.383.727.80.04117.04
Missing six games in 2019, Shepard has now missed at least five games in two of the past three seasons. With Odell Beckham traded to Cleveland, Shepard was the recipient of a career-high 8.3 targets per game, but he averaged a career-low 10.1 yards per catch and a mediocre 57.6 yards per game. While more of a flex option, Shepard "has torched every Giants corner this summer."
Golden Tate65.1794.25.211.99.10.01111.65
Serving a four-game PED suspension to begin the year, Tate performed as fantasy's WR28 from Weeks 5 to 17. Tate averaged 7.7 targets, 4.5 receptions and 61.5 yards per game and scored six touchdowns, tied for the second-most in his career.

TIGHT ENDS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Evan Engram647205.44000104.64
Durability has been an issue for Engram, who has missed at least five games in each of the past two seasons and had Lisfranc surgery in December. When he was on the field in 2019, however, he averaged 5.5 catches and 58.4 yards per game, both of which were career highs. SNY TV's Ralph Vacchiano described Engram "as quick and as explosive as ever" and wrote that the Giants "think he’s a guy who could top 80 catches and 1,000 yards easily."

QUARTERBACKS


PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Daniel Jones557.6355.53931.127.0413.9454.8301.42.19280.8
As is expected with any rookie quarterback, it was an up-and-down season for Jones, who will need to cut down on turnovers (especially fumbles) heading into year two. In terms of upside, however, only Lamar Jackson (seven) had more games finishing as a top-two weekly performer at quarterback than Jones (four) last season. It wouldn't surprise me if Jones turned in a Josh Allen-like second-year performance and he's one of my favorite QB2/streamers in 2020.
Colt McCoy38.823.7256.11.41.091.97.20.0314.56

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Saquon Barkley257.31196.49.0160.3491.42.56238.2
Missing a few games early in the season, Barkley closed a relatively disappointing season with some positive momentum -- 393 rushing yards, 146 receiving yards and five touchdowns in his final three games. Barkley will run behind an improved offensive line in 2020 (although Nate Solder has opted out) and has the skill set to challenge Christian McCaffrey for the top spot in fantasy production.
Dion Lewis35.3135.90.3524.1161.51.0237.96
Backing up the NFL rushing champion (Derrick Henry) last year, Lewis will back up perhaps the most talented running back in the NFL (Saquon Barkley). Barring injury, Lewis will provide the occasional breather to Barkley, but it's unlikely that he gets many more opportunities than he had last year (79 touches) in Tennessee.

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Darius Slayton57.8820.86.07000118.5
Slayton, who ran a sub-4.4 forty and posted a 40.5" vertical at the combine, made a bigger-than-expected impact as a rookie. In his first season, he finished with 48/740/8 and had a pair of games with 120-plus yards and multiple touchdowns in the second half of the season. A concern heading into 2020 is that the team's three other top pass-catchers -- Sterling Shepard (six), Evan Engram (eight) and Golden Tate (five) -- all missed at least five games in 2019.
Golden Tate66.88155.341.99.10.01114.51
Serving a four-game PED suspension to begin the year, Tate performed as fantasy's WR28 from Weeks 5 to 17. Tate averaged 7.7 targets, 4.5 receptions and 61.5 yards per game and scored six touchdowns, tied for the second-most in his career.
Sterling Shepard69.8795.75.243.727.80.04114.03
Missing six games in 2019, Shepard has now missed at least five games in two of the past three seasons. With Odell Beckham traded to Cleveland, Shepard was the recipient of a career-high 8.3 targets per game, but he averaged a career-low 10.1 yards per catch and a mediocre 57.6 yards per game. If Shepard stays healthy for a full season, it's hard to trust him as anything more than a flex option.
