Bottom Line

As a late-round pick or waiver-wire addition, Jones delivered in spades last season.

Due in part to a poor supporting cast, the 26-year-old heavily leaned on his legs. 32% of his fantasy production came on the ground. He easily set career highs in carries, yards, and TDs.

Jones’ rushing stats will likely decline this fall. But an upgraded supporting cast – and projected improvement via the air – should supply a net positive. He’s a fringe QB1 for Year 2 under HC Brian Daboll.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Despite a lousy supporting cast, Jones finished as the QB12.
    • He recorded three top-5 fantasy performances; six at QB20 or worse.
  • Jones averaged only 29.5 attempts, 200.3 yards, and 0.93 passing TDs per game. New York sat bottom-10 in pass rate over expectation (-5.6%).
    • It’s easy to understand why. His leading WRs: Darius Slayton, Richie James, and Isaiah Hodgins (a mid-season waiver claim).
  • So rushing production proved essential, and he delivered with top-5 QB marks in rushes (120), yards (708), and TDs (7).
    • Jones really factored in near the goal line. He saw 14 carries inside the 10-yard line. Only three QBs beat that number.
  • Jones set a clear career-high in adjusted completion rate (81.1%). Credit Jones’ maturation and new HC Brian Daboll.
  • The Giants’ O-line wasn’t much help, though. They ranked 24th in Pro Football Focus’ pass block grade; 29th in pass block win rate.

What to Expect in 2023
  • HC Brian Daboll, OC Mike Kafka, and QBs coach Shea Tierney return for Year 2.
  • Instead of applying the franchise tag, GM Joe Schoen inked Jones to a four-year deal worth $160 million ($82 million guaranteed).
    • Is it an overpay? Perhaps. But it’s also a clear signal the Giants believe in him going forward.
  • Veteran C Jon Feliciano left in free agency, while the Giants used a Round 2 pick on Minnesota C John Michael Schmitz.
    • On Schmitz, NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein said: “Schmitz lacks length and his edges will get a little leaky in pass protection from time to time, but his overall technique and teamwork in the run game should create a plug-and-play opportunity in the pros.”
    • LT Andrew Thomas and RT Evan Neal – a pair of former first-round picks – return as cornerstones. The interior bears watching, though.
  • This offseason, New York took the quantity-over-quality approach at pass catcher.
    • The arrivals: Parris Campbell, Jamison Crowder, and rookie deep threat Jalin Hyatt. They join a group that already includes secondary pieces like Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, and Wan’Dale Robinson.
    • Darren Waller provides a true impact player. The former Raider can be a top-5 TE when healthy, although that’s been an issue in recent years. He’s played nine and 11 games over the past two seasons.

Daniel Jones, QB NYG

Daniel Jones duds vs. 49ers

Giants QB Daniel Jones not surprisingly struggled vs. the 49ers on Thursday night. He completed 22 of 32 passes (68.8%) but totaled just 137 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) with 0 TDs and one INT. New York got nothing going downfield (where's Jalin Hyatt?). And Jones didn't get much help from his pass-catchers. TE Darren Waller was particularly bad, dropping at least two passes, including one that resulted in Jones' INT. It was also disappointing to see Jones finish with just five yards on two carries. It was a massive fantasy dud -- but hopefully you weren't counting on Jones against this elite 49ers defense. He has much more doable matchups the next two weeks vs. the Seahawks and Dolphins.

Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 26 of 37 attempts for 321 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Week 2’s comeback victory vs. the Cardinals. He also added 59 yards on 9 carries with a rushing TD in the contest. It’s concerning that New York found themselves down 20-0 at halftime against a Cardinals team that’s broadly considered to be the worst in the NFL. Even so, the offense found life and pulled out the victory over the final two quarters. On top of the real-life success, Jones delivered a significantly better performance (30.7 points) that may see him finish as the QB1 for the week. He’ll have a tough test in Week 3 as the Giants travel on the road to face the 49ers.

Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 15 of 28 attempts for 104 yards and 2 INTs in a blowout loss vs. the Cowboys. He also added 43 yards on 13 carries in Week 1, though Jones’ efforts were far from enough for the team to avoid an embarrassing divisional loss at home on Sunday night. Rainy weather certainly impacted conditions. However, that didn’t stop their opponent from running up the score to 26-0 by halftime, so there’s not much of an excuse to be made as far as that goes. Jones will have an opportunity to rebound in Week 2 vs. the Cardinals.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan writes that Giants QB Daniel Jones “looks so much more comfortable” in the offense compared to last summer. It’s understandable, as he enters Year 2 alongside HC Brian Daboll and OC Mike Kafka. New TE Darren Waller is drawing rave reviews for his work in training camp, too. As the QB14 in ADP, Jones looks like a fine draft day target.

NFL analyst Greg Cosell believes Giants QB Daniel Jones will improve in 2023. “He throws a good ball… He’s big, and he’s physical. I’m expecting him to take another step forward,” Cosell said on the Inside the Birds podcast. “I’ve heard really good things about how smart he is, how he works at it. You have to believe he’s going to take another step within the context of the [HC] Brian Daboll/[OC] Mike Kafka offense.” It’s a reminder that Jones, only 26, can reach higher ceiling. Led by TE Darren Waller, an improved set of weapons only adds to Jones’ 2023 fantasy value. You’ll find him among the top-15 of our QB rankings.

A poor supporting cast didn't stop Jones from showing improvement alongside new HC Brian Daboll and OC Mike Kafka. New York upgraded the cast by adding veteran TE Darren Waller via trade in March. Plus, Jones' new contract (4 years, $160 million) clearly shows faith from N.Y. decision-makers.
