New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones recently finished what was arguably the best season of his career thus far, totaling 3,913 yards, 22 touchdowns, and just five interceptions while leading the team to its first playoff appearance since 2016. Jones will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, and reportedly could command up to $40 million per season on a new deal. The Giants are likely to pursue a long-term contract with the 25-year-old signal-caller but could choose to use the franchise tag on him for $32.5 million if an agreement is not reached. That said, Jones stated earlier this week that he loves New York and wants to remain a Giant.
New York Giants wide receiver David Sills V signed a reserve/futures deal with the Giants on Thursday. The 26-year-old played over 43 percent of snaps in each of the first five games of the season and accumulated 106 yards on 11 receptions with no touchdowns. Once the bigger-name receivers like Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Kenny Golladay all got healthy, Sills started to see more healthy scratches. Even in dynasty formats, right now, he shouldn't be on the radar for any fantasy managers.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith are all finalists for the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2022. Barkley was named a Pro Bowler for the first time since his rookie season and carried New York's offense this year with a career-high 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 295 carries over 16 regular season games. He also had 57 receptions for 338 yards. McCaffrey stayed healthy for the first time in the last three years and finished with his third 1,000-yard rushing season, adding 13 touchdowns with San Fran and Carolina. Smith led Seattle to a playoff berth in his first year as a full-time starter since 2014 with the Jets. He finished with a career-high 4,282 passing yards, 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games.
New York Giants wide receiver Collin Johnson (Achilles), who tore his right Achilles during a standout training camp last summer, said he is already running on turf and is excited about returning even stronger in 2023. Johnson has more rehab to do, but he's making encouraging progress. We'll never know how involved the 25-year-old would have been in New York's passing attack this year after he caught 11 of his 21 targets for 105 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games (one start) for the G-Men in his second NFL season in 2021. Johnson could have the opportunity for a sizeable role in the offense next season if he stays healthy and impresses again this summer, but he'll remain off the fantasy radar for now.
New York Giants backup quarterback Davis Webb, who was offered the Buffalo Bills' quarterbacks coach job last offseason, has shown interest in starting the transition from player to coach. Webb will consider making the jump to coaching for the right opportunity after getting his first NFL start in 2022. The 28-year-old was taken in the third round of the 2017 draft out of Cal by the Giants, but he has played in only two career games in two NFL seasons with the Bills and Giants. In his only NFL start in a meaningless Week 18 game for the Giants, Webb went 23-for-40 for 168 yards and a touchdown and also carried the ball six times for 41 yards and another score. If he moves to coaching in 2023, the Giants will need to find some additional QB depth.
