New York Giants DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Giants wide receivers Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson are set as the team's top three wideouts going into the 2025 season, and The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll writes that Jalin Hyatt appears to be the favorite for the No. 4 role despite coming off a disappointing 2024 season in which he had only eight catches for 62 yards. The third-rounder in 2023 will face competition from plenty of undrafted free-agent pass-catcher that were brought in, and the G-Men have also been considering adding former Bills and Jaguars receiver Gabe Davis. If the Giants don't add Davis, the WR4 job will be Hyatt's to lose in training camp this summer. His straight-line speed matches up well with quarterback Russell Wilson's deep-ball prowess, so the 23-year-old should take a step forward if he stays healthy.

The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll wonders if New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo can usurp Tyrone Tracy Jr. for the RB1 job in 2025. It's possible, but Carroll goes on to say that it's more realistic that Skattebo, the team's fourth-rounder out of Arizona State this year, jumps Devin Singletary for the RB2 role to begin his rookie season. Skattebo offers a more physical complement to Tracy's speed and is already a fan favorite in the Big Apple because of his physicality and underdog mentality. For now, Carroll is giving the slight edge to the veteran Singletary well before training camp, but it's very possible that Singletary falls further down the depth chart after losing the starting gig to Tracy in 2024. Skattebo makes up for his lack of speed with plenty of power and explosiveness. Don't be surprised if he becomes New York's primary pass-catching back early on in 2025.

New York Giants offensive guard Greg Van Roten returns to the team in 2025 after starting all 17 games a year ago, but he will likely have to compete to keep his starting right-guard job, and The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll thinks the top competition might come from former starting right tackle Evan Neal. Neal, a former first-rounder in 2022, has struggled with injuries and poor play and has appeared in just 29 games in three NFL seasons. However, he could receive a chance to jump-start his career with a position change. But if he continues to struggle, he could be on the roster bubble after having his fifth-year option declined. Rookie fifth-rounder Marcus Mbow could also move inside to guard, but the Giants will have him start his NFL career at tackle. Carroll thinks it's fair to say that Van Roten has the edge on any competition heading into OTAs.

The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll writes that there is no open quarterback competition for the New York Giants after they traded back into the first round of this year's NFL draft to take Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss. Head coach Brian Daboll has repeatedly said this offseason that Russell Wilson will take the first-team repetitions to start the spring and is expected to be the Week 1 starter. But because Wilson is only on a one-year deal, he's viewed as a bridge QB. Veteran Jameis Winston is an insurance policy in 2025 and a future backup for Dart in 2026. However, with both Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen on the hot seat after going 9-25 the last two years, pressure could mount in the Big Apple for Dart to get his chance sooner than later in 2025 if Wilson and the G-Men struggle early on. Wilson is still a great deep passer and could click with receiver Malik Nabers, but there's little fantasy upside at this stage of his career.

The New York Giants officially signed linebacker Abdul Carter to his rookie contract on Thursday. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Penn State inked a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $45.3 million. Carter was viewed by some as the No. 1 overall player in the draft class after he finished his collegiate career with a 68-tackle, 12-sack season in 2025. Carter's arrival strengthens New York's front seven, which could be one of the best units in the league with the help of Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns.
