New York Giants

The New York Giants are signing free-agent quarterback Drew Lock to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Lock will head to the Big Apple and will presumably serve as the backup to Daniel Jones (knee), who is coming off a torn ACL, in 2024 now that Tyrod Taylor is with the Jets. The former second-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2019 out of Missouri showed some upside in his four appearances (two starts) as Geno Smith's backup for the Seattle Seahawks last year, going 48-for-76 for 543 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Lock has been in a backup role since throwing 16 touchdowns and a league-high 15 picks in 13 starts in 2020 before being traded to Seattle before the 2022 season. At best, Lock would probably be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if Jones is hurt again in 2024.

Free-agent running back Devin Singletary is expected to sign a three-year, $16.5 million deal to join the New York Giants, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. This report comes just after the news of Saquon Barkley signing with the Philadelphia Eagles, so Singletary will presumably have a chance to carry a hefty workload for the G-Men in 2024. In his only season with the Houston Texans, Singletary set career-highs in carries (216) and rushing yards (898). Before his stint in Houston, he spent time with Giants head coach Brian Daboll in Buffalo, so there is a previous connection. As long as the Giants don't use high draft capital on a running back, the job should belong to Singletary, giving him fringe RB2 upside in fantasy football.

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Malik Nabers both opted not to take part in the measurements portion of the NFL scouting combine on Saturday with their respective position groups. Daniels will do his measurements at LSU's pro day on March 27, with Nabers expected to do the same. Daniels, 23, is one of the top QB prospects in this year's draft, alongside USC's Caleb Williams and North Carolina's Drake Maye, and he could end up going as high as second overall to the Washington Commanders in April. Daniels also didn't do any throwing drills at the combine in Indianapolis this week. Nabers, 20, didn't do any testing at the combine, either. He's in contention to be the second receiver to come off the board in this year's draft behind Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr.

LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers will not participate in on-field drills at the 2024 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, though he will be in attendance for interviews. He will wait until LSU's Pro Day on March 27 to demonstrate his athleticism for NFL scouts. The 20-year-old is the consensus No. 1 or No. 2 wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft class, and he's likely to be a top-10 pick in April. Nabers caught 89 passes for 1,569 yards and 14 touchdowns from 2023 Heisman-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels in his final season in Baton Rouge. In single-quarterback formats, he is likely to be a top-three selection in the majority of 2024 fantasy football rookie drafts.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (thumb) had surgery on his right thumb after the season but should be fine and ready to go for training camp, the preseason and the start of the 2024 campaign this fall. Slayton also said he's glad the offensive staff is staying mostly intact heading into next season. "It'll help all of us to have one less learning curve," Slayton said. The 27-year-old pass-catcher didn't miss a single game in 2023 and finished with a career-high-tying 50 catches on a team-high 79 targets for a career-high 770 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. Quarterback Daniel Jones only played in six games due to injuries, too, so there could be some more upside for Slayton as the team's No. 1 receiver in 2024 if he can stay healthy.
