If anyone in the Giants' offense is going to return fantasy value this season, they will likely need a big resurgence from quarterback Daniel Jones. Once seen as a promising young QB, calls for Jones to be replaced this offseason were strong from every corner of the football landscape. Jones' inaccuracy as a passer, poor decision-making, and propensity to get injured have made him a terrible bet to break out as the next great NFL signal caller. However, as fantasy managers, our standards don't need to be nearly as high, and when it comes to quarterbacks being selected in the mid-20s at the position, it's typically tough to find a player who actually provides some semblance of upside.
Fantasy managers will want to have other plans in place if things go awry, but Jones has actually shown the ability to produce fantasy points in this league. While his passing numbers have been inconsistent, at least some of that can be explained by the constantly shifting offensive systems he's played in, along with the mediocre pass-catching talent he's worked with.
What has been true about Jones is that he has quietly delivered borderline-elite rushing numbers. In fact, if you remove the two games that he was injured midway through in 2023, Jones has finished with at least 30 rushing yards in 13 of his past 20 games. Perhaps more interestingly, he has reached at least 50 yards in eight of those 13 games and even gone over 70 yards on the ground in five of them. These numbers highlight Jones' ability to make plays with his legs, which is the best way for a mediocre QB to become fantasy-relevant.
Adding to his potential, Jones has been gifted rookie Malik Nabers at wide receiver, improving his pass-catching options. Sure, he might get benched at any time, but the competition behind him isn't particularly strong, and fantasy managers are paying practically nothing for the chance at a player who does have low-end QB1 upside if things break right for him. Don't worry about drafting him in normal leagues, but Jones should be a target as a low-end QB2 in Superflex and 2QB formats.

QB Daniel Jones headed to Minnesota
Will backup Sam Darnold
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Nov 27, 10:26 am
|  | Former #Giants QB Daniel Jones plans to sign with the #Vikings practice squad, after having cleared waivers, per me, @TomPelissero and @CameronWolfe.
A new beginning and opportunity for Jones with a chance to the backup. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Jones heads to Minnesota after asking for and getting a release from the Giants earlier in the week. He will begin on the practice squad then eventually be the backup to Sam Darnold. He won't have any fantasy value this season unless an injury occurs to Darnold and he'll likely be the backup to J.J. McCarthy in 2025 as Darnold is on a one-year deal.
|  Broken collarbone for Gardner Minshew
Out for the year
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Nov 24, 7:54 pm
|  | #Raiders QB Gardner Minshew broke his collarbone and is out for the season, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. A frustrating end for Minshew. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: At 2-9 the Raiders are finishing out a lost season and will likely do so with Desmond Ridder or Aidan O'Connell (thumb) at quarterback who is available to come of IR next week. Daniel Jones would also be an option if the Raiders choose to bring in the recent released Giants QB.
| Giants release QB Daniel Jones
Expected to clear waivers and become a free agent
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 22, 11:36 am
|  | Daniel Jones met with owner John Mara this morning. There is a ton of respect between the two men and they both reached agreement that a parting of ways is the way to go.
Jones will go on waivers, but is expected to clear and then become a FA. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: The Daniel Jones era with the Giants is over. He was benched prior to Week 12 in favor of Tommy DeVito which signaled his time with the team was done. Any team making a claim for him would be on the hook for his remaining 2024 salary (roughly $12 million) which isn't likely to happen. The Giants will be eating roughly $20 million in dead money with this move.
| Giants turning to Tommy DeVito at quarterback
Daniel Jones heads to the bench
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Nov 18, 8:10 am
| | Sources: The New York Giants are expected to replace Daniel Jones with Tommy DeVito as their new starting quarterback. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Giants have won two games this season and are last in scoring (15.6 points per game), so it's not a shock that they've decided to make a QB switch. This move could signal the end of the road for Jones in New York. Drew Lock had been the backup to Jones this season, but HC Brian Daboll has decided to go with DeVito who played in 9 games last season. He'll be on the QB2 radar with games upcoming against Tampa Bay, @Dallas, New Orleans and Baltimore.
