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.
