Fantasy Football Player Notes
2025 Draft Rankings

10.
Malik Nabers
WR - (vs . DAL)
Nabers drew a whopping 170 targets as a rookie -- second in the league behind only Ja'Marr Chase -- and finished with 109-1,204-7 despite playing with a bad group of quarterbacks. The Giants may not have fixed their QB position, but they at least patched it up by signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and drafting Jaxson Dart. Nabers should be an NFL star and a fantasy first-rounder for a long, long time.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - (vs . DAL)
A fifth-round draft pick out of Purdue, Tyrone Tracy turned in an impressive rookie season for the Giants. He had 192-839-5 rushing and 38-284-1 receiving, good for an RB26 finish in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Fumbling was an issue for Tracy, who coughed up the ball five times. The Giants drafted Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo, so Tracy figures to be part of a timeshare arrangement this season. But as a former college wide receiver, Tracy figures to get more of the passing-game work.

Cam Skattebo
RB - (vs . DAL)
After a monster season for Arizona State in which he had 293-1,711-21 rushing and 45-605-3 receiving, Cam Skattebo now heads to the Giants, where he'll work in tandem with talented second-year RB Tyrone Tracy. Casual college football fans learned Skattebo's name when he had 233 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in Arizona State's overtime loss to Texas in the College Football Playoffs. Skattebo's ultra-physical style belies his 5-11, 215-pound frame. Skattebo keeps his feet pumping through contact and always seems to be falling forward at the end of runs. A leg injury sustained in training camp has seemingly put Skattebo behind Tracy in the race for the starting job and could potentially jeopardize Skattebo's early-season availability.

Wan'Dale Robinson
WR - (vs . DAL)
Wan'Dale Robinson was a PPR cheat code last year, ranking tenth in targets (140) and receptions (93). He was the WR41 in fantasy points per game. Robinson has nine weekly finishes as a top-36 fantasy wideout. He had a 22.5% target share, 1.28 yards per route run, and a 26.2% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). Robinson's high-volume role isn't certain to remain in 2025, with Russell Wilson starting at least a portion of the season. Wilson hasn't been a heavy underneath/middle-of-the-field target-funneling quarterback. Last year, 35% of Robinson's targets were within ten yards of the line of scrimmage in the middle of the field, where only 21.7% of Wilson's passes were aimed last season. Robinson likely serves as a bye-week desperation flex only this season.

203.
Darius Slayton
WR - (vs . DAL)
After settling in as a solid WR5, Darius Slayton's star dimmed further in 2024 when he slipped to WR78 in fantasy points per game. This can be attributed to the Giants' horrendous quarterback situation. In Weeks 1-9 with Daniel Jones last season, Slayton was on pace for 60 receptions and 886 receiving yards. During that time, he had a 16% target share, 1.63 yards per route run, and a 15.5% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). Nothing here jumps off the page as anything more than a possible bye-week flex or best ball correlation pick for 2025.

Younghoe Koo
K - (vs . DAL)
Younghoe Koo has struggled the last two seasons after a top-5 finish in 2022. The Falcons' schedule (12 dome games) suggests he should be primed for a bounce-back, but this team ALWAYS has a favorable preseason schedule. After finishing outside the top 15 in three of the last four seasons, he's a priority waiver target if your starting kicker goes down or is on a bye week.

254.
Theo Johnson
TE - (vs . DAL)
Last year, before Theo Johnson was lost for the remainder of the season with a foot injury, he was the TE33 in fantasy points per game. He drew a 9.9% target share, averaging 27.6 receiving yards per game with 1.0 yards per route run and only 0.048 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Johnson is a decent TE2 dart throw and will have some streaming appeal this season.

256.
Russell Wilson
QB - (vs . DAL)
The Giants signed 36-year-old Russell Wilson to a one-year, $21 million deal in March, and he's the favorite to open the season as the Giants' starting QB. But Wilson might not have the job for long. The Giants traded up to take Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart late in the first round of this year's draft, and they also added veteran Jameis Winston in the offseason. Wilson made 11 starts for the Steelers last season and averaged 16.2 fantasy points per start. He'll be drafted as a QB3 in 2025 but might be useful as a spot starter in favorable matchups.

291.
Jaxson Dart
QB - (vs . DAL)
The Giants traded up to select Dart late in the first round of this year's draft. They have the luxury of bringing Dart along slowly after signing veteran QBs Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the offseason, but Dart could be the starter by midseason if the veterans struggle or if the Giants' season starts to go sideways. Dart has an NFL-caliber arm and a quick release, and he's capable of providing fantasy value as a runner. But Dart could have a difficult adjustment transitioning from Lane Kiffin's QB-friendly system at Ole Miss to the NFL.

327.
New York Giants
DST - (vs . DAL)
The Giants have a horrible schedule this year, but they should field a much-improved defense that could feature arguably the best pass rush in the NFL, led by Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Abdul Carter. The offseason addition of Paulson Adebo will also help to upgrade the secondary. New York could easily finish top-five in sacks this season while forcing turnovers at a strong clip.
