4 NY Giants who can put up big fantasy numbers the rest of 2022
By rramsarran
3. QB Daniel Jones
Daniel Jones has been slightly inconsistent this year in fantasy production. In his defense, the Giants have one of the weakest receiving corps in the league due to injuries and Kenny Golladay. Jones does have one of the fantasy cheat codes, though: his legs.
Quarterbacks that can rack up rushing yards are dominant in fantasy football (for example, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, etc.) as they can make up for lost points through the air, on the ground. Jones can be found on most waiver wires, but he performs much better than people give him credit for.
His current fantasy points per game are higher than Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, and Dak Prescott. Jones has only thrown for 1,596 passing yards this year, but has greatly made up for it on the ground.
His 387 rushing yards are the fourth most among all quarterbacks, only behind Justin Fields, Jackson, and Josh Allen. Jones may not be the sexiest name in fantasy football, but he can be a decent streamer, especially during bye weeks.
Sneaky good throw by QB Daniel Jones on Darius Slayton’s 54-yard TD. Pressure in face, falling backwards from the opposite hash.

Just get it out on third and long (no time for anything else) and hope your guy makes a play. Slayton did.
That’s 7-2 football. #giants pic.twitter.com/GCzJabu2HV
