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

11:39am EST 11/6/23

Daniel Jones done for season; 2024 in question?

An MRI has confirmed a torn right ACL for Giants QB Daniel Jones. That will obviously end his 2023 season. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says to expect a nine-month recovery, which would put Jones potentially back on the field during 2024 training camp. His injury did occur about five weeks earlier than Cardinals QB Kyler Murray's 2022 ACL tear. We obviously can't assume the same return timeline for any player based only on a similar injury to another guy. But those timelines should give Jones a better chance of returning at least by sometime in the first half of next season. We'll certainly be watching for updates on his recovery in the meantime -- as well as watching how the Giants address the position in the offseason. Jones' contract still carries a $47 million cap hit for 2024 -- and a $69 million dead-cap number if the team were to move on from him. So you can at least bet on Jones staying central to the 2024 plays. Even beyond that, the dead-cap penalty would be $22.2 million for 2025 vs. a $41.6 million cap hit if Jones remains on the roster. Whether the Giants draft a QB early will likely tell us how much longer they hope to have Jones at the helm. The level of investment into the 2024 backup plan can give us hints on how optimistic they are for Jones' recovery. For this season, QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs) will be on IR for at least three more weeks, and HC Brian Daboll says it's not yet clear whether Taylor will make it back this season. So it could be Tommy Devito the rest of the way, which lowers the floor and ceiling for all Giants offensive players.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport hears that the Giants believe QB Daniel Jones suffered a “significant knee injury -- potentially a torn ACL" in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. He’s scheduled for an MRI to get a better look at the damage. With QB Tyrod Taylor on IR with the rib injury he suffered last week, the Giants will be down to QB Tommy DeVito. He was better vs. Las Vegas than last week, completing 15 of 20 passes for 175 yards, one TD, and two INTs. The Giants also have QB Matt Barkley on the practice squad.

Dynasty Write-up
A poor supporting cast didn't stop Jones from showing improvement alongside HC Brian Daboll and OC Mike Kafka in 2022. Unfortunately, his 2023 was derailed by a mid-season ACL tear. Jones is now considered iffy for Week 1 of next season. Note that he signed a new contract (4 years, $160 million) in 2023.
