Bottom Line

Jones' best quality is his rushing upside – and that’s in question following a 2023 ACL tear.

While the addition of WR Malik Nabers brings hope, Jones is best rostered as a superflex QB3.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Jones missed the final six games of the 2021 season with a neck injury. He missed three games with a neck issue in 2023.
  • His season ended shortly thereafter with a Week 9 ACL tear (right knee).
  • It’s a small sample, but prior to the injury, Jones’ play noticeably regressed off a career-best 2022.
    • Among 36 qualifiers, Jones ranked 34th in EPA per play, 32nd in success rate, 9th in completion rate, and 35th in sack rate.
    • His low average depth of target (6.8 yards) helped boost the completion rate.
  • Jones tallied 206 rushing yards in less than six full games.
    • He scrambled on 10.5% of his dropbacks -- second most in the 36-QB sample.
  • He wasn’t propped up by a strong supporting cast.
    • New York’s leading receivers included Darius Slayton and 12 games of Darren Waller.
    • The Giants’ O-line ranked 32nd in PFF pass blocking grade.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Jones returns for his third season alongside HC Brian Daboll and OC Mike Kafka.
    • Daboll is expected to take back play-calling duties from Kafka.
  • By all accounts, Jones' ACL rehab has gone smoothly.
    • He participated in OTAs/minicamp.
    • Jones expressed confidence he’ll be ready to play come Week 1.
  • New York’s O-line remains under the microscope.
    • Carmen Bricillo arrives as the eighth O-line coach over the past 10 years. He formerly coached the O-line in New England and Vegas.
    • The Giants are expected to trot out LT Andrew Thomas, LG Jermaine Eluemunor, C John Michael Schmitz, RG Jon Runyan, and RT Evan Neal.
    • Eluemunor and Runyan are the only holdovers, but they supply upgrades along the interior.
    • Note that the Giants allowed a ridiculous 85 sacks last season.
  • Round 1 WR Malik Nabers arrives to give this unit its most talented target since Odell Beckham.
    • The rest of the WR corps (Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt) looks pedestrian.
    • Darren Waller retired in June.
    • A Daniel Bellinger-Theo Johnson tandem will have a chance to replace him, but it’s likely a clear downgrade.
  • Jones is fully expected to start. But if he struggles, there’s a chance we see new backup Drew Lock.

Daniel Jones, QB NYG

No Restrictions For Daniel Jones In Training Camp Coming Off ACL Tear

Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) has been fully cleared for contact to start training camp, the team announced Wednesday. Jones is set to participate in all 11-on-11 work, which he didn't do in the spring. “He will play every snap the (first-team offense) is in,” HC Brian Daboll said, adding that the team will monitor Jones closely throughout camp.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) is not expected to land on the PUP list to begin training camp, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jones is working back from a right ACL tear suffered on November 5. He's on track to be ready for Week 1, barring a setback between now and then.

Giants QB Daniel Jones' goal is to be medically cleared for the start of training camp, he told the media on Monday. That'd be about nine months after tearing his right ACL on November 5. "Rehab’s going well," Jones said. "Making good progress. Coming along. I feel like things are going well." He added that he's now able to throw while doing "some QB movements," per Newsday's Tom Rock. We'll continue to keep an eye on Jones' rehab. But the knee is just one issue for a guy coming off an ugly 2023 campaign that saw him average just 5.7 yards per pass attempt while taking a sack on 15.8% of his dropbacks. Jones is no better than a QB3 in early best-ball drafts.

Giants HC Brian Daboll would not commit to QB Daniel Jones (knee) being ready for the start of the 2024 season. He's working his way back from a torn right ACL suffered in early November. Jones said in February that his goal is to be back for the start of training camp, but his progress will be worth watching closely this spring and summer. Daboll added that Jones remains the starter when healthy, despite the addition of QB Drew Lock and the Giants holding the sixth overall pick of next month's draft. "When he gets back he'll be the guy," Daboll said.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) said recently that his goal is to be ready for the start of training camp. He's working his way back from a torn right ACL suffered in early November. “My rehab is going well,” Jones said. “I’m making progress. I’m three months into it, and I’ve started running on the anti-gravity treadmill. It’s going well.” Jones will be almost nine months removed from the injury when camp gets going -- and over ten months removed when the 2024 season kicks off. He has a good chance to be cleared by Week 1, although it's likely that his mobility is limited at least early in the season. That, of course, is a big part of whatever fantasy value Jones brings to the table. He's just a QB3 target in early best ball drafts.
