Daniel Jones's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) said his rehab from a torn right ACL is "going well." Jones tore his ACL on Nov. 5 and missed the rest of the year. "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 said. The 26-year-old former sixth overall pick in 2019 out of Duke played in just six games in 2023 after signing a four-year, $160 million contract extension last offseason. The Giants are hoping he'll stay healthy in 2024 and bounce back while costing $47 million against the salary cap. They continue to say that they are committed to him as their starter under center, but if he disappoints again in 2024, they could decide to move on quickly. Jones' rushing ability helps his fantasy cause, but overall he has a low fantasy ceiling as a QB2.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen reiterated on Tuesday that the plan is for quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) to be the starter entering training camp this summer. However, Schoen didn't rule out the team drafting another quarterback this year -- they have the sixth overall pick in the first round. The Giants signed Jones to a four-year, $160 million extension last offseason but he played in just six games in 2023 before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee. The 26-year-old wasn't good in his six games, either, going 108-for-160 for 909 yards (5.7 yards per attempt), two touchdowns and six interceptions. In Jones' defense, the Giants' offensive line was among the worst in the league. Barring a setback, Jones should be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, but at best, he'll be a QB2 for fantasy managers with limited upside coming off a major injury.

Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning said he still believes in current Giants QB Daniel Hudson as the team's starter moving forward. "Obviously with the injuries, it's not fun, but I know he's determined. I know he wants to be in New York. It's not an easy place to play but he has the mindset. He has the mentality. I know he'll do everything possible to get back and to get back to playing at a high level," Manning said. Jones tore his ACL, among other injuries, and ended up playing in just six games in 2023, going 1-5 with two touchdowns and six interceptions. It came after signing a four-year, $160 million contract last offseason following a 3,000-yard season and a playoff appearance. It's nice that Manning has faith in the 26-year-old signal-caller, but for fantasy purposes, Jones should probably only be rostered in two-QB leagues to begin next season.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) said he's continuing to rehab his knee and plans to be ready to play by the start of training camp. Jones tore his ACL in early November, ending his season. Giants' GM Joe Schoen noted that the team plans to continue to build around Jones, but understands that he may not be ready to play in Week 1. The Giants own the sixth-overall pick in the NFL Draft and may use that asset to select another franchise quarterback.
