At the halfway point of the 2020s, the Giants have ranked 29th, 31st, 26th, 31st and 28th in passing yards per game in each season of this decade. The last 2 years have seen the Giants rank 30th and 31st in points per game.
For the 2025 season, they’ve added three quarterbacks, including a long-in-the-tooth Russell Wilson, a first-round rookie in Jaxson Dart, and former #1 overall pick Jameis Winston, in hopes of reenergizing the offense.
QB: Russell Wilson
The Giants haven’t received traditional QB production in this decade as the top passer by year for the offense has been Daniel Jones in 2020 (11 TDs / 10 INTs), 2021 (10 / 7), 2022 (15 / 5) and 2024 (8 / 7) with Tommy DeVito leading the team in 2023 (8 / 3).
Wilson is no longer the guy who’ll play every game while averaging 4,000 yards and 33+ TDs passing a season like he did from 2015-2020. At this stage, he’s more of a game manager that’s capable of providing a season more similar to Jones’ 2019 campaign of 3,000 yards passing with 24 TDs while playing in about 13-14 games.
QB: Jaxson Dart
Dart can excel on early-timing throws and has good touch on his vertical lofts between 15 and 30 yards. Dart doesn’t put enough zip on his screens to maximize those high percentage tosses. He waits for receivers to break in their routes and makes late decisions that will lead to pass breakups and interceptions in the pros.
RB: Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tracy had over 800 rushing yards with 38 receptions for almost 300 receiving yards with 6 total TDs as a rookie. Tracy was lightly used over his first 4 games. Then he started the next six games and broke out with 516 yards rushing on 5.4 yards per carry and three touchdowns, along with 14 receptions.
Then Jones went down at QB and was replaced by Drew Lock. While Tracy’s stats improved in the passing game, they sharply declined as a rusher. In the last 7 games with Lock, he totaled just shy of 300 rushing yards (3.5 ypc), 2 TDs, with 20 receptions and a receiving TD.
RB: Devin Singletary
Last year marked the third team in 3 years for Singletary. After rushing for 4.6 ypc with the Bills in 2022, he moved on to what would become more of a lead back role in Houston, where he had a career-high in carries (216) but a career-low in ypc (4.2).
In his first year with the Giants in 2024, he started out as the lead back until a groin injury cost him time, and he returned as Tracy’s backup. Singletary finished last year with career lows in rushes (113), rush yards (437), yards per carry (3.9), receptions (21), and receiving yards (119).
RB: Cam Skattebo
Skattebo had outstanding numbers in his last year at ASU, with 1,700+ rushing yards and 21 TDs, in addition to 45 receptions for 605 receiving yards and 3 more TDs. He’s a power back who can get lower than tacklers and punish them throughout 4 quarters.
He’ll make his living between the tackles, where he’ll plow into defenders at contact and keep churning his legs to force defenders to take him down. He’s not only a sledgehammer, as he shows patience, waiting for pulls to develop and play off their blocks. When he gets to the perimeter or third level, he punishes defensive backs with brutality.
WR: Malik Nabers
Only Ja’Marr Chase (175) received more targets than Nabers (170) last season. No other players even reached 160 targets. Nabers accumulated those total targets despite missing 2 games, while no other player among the top 5 in targets on the season missed any.
Nabers is an electric weapon that will remain the focal point of the offense, and with even adequate QB play, can become the top-producing receiver in the league.
WR: Wan’dale Robinson
Robinson took a leap for the second straight season, seeing a drastic uptick in targets, receptions and yards. Robinson was targeted 140 times in 2024, which he converted into 93 receptions for 699 yards and 3 touchdowns. The insane amount of targets tied him for 9th in the NFL among WRs with D.J. Moore.
He’s a volume option that provided a safety-blanket role at receiver for sub-par passers in New York last year, as seen in his 7.5 ypr.
WR: Darius Slayton
Whereas Robinson was the underneath option, Slayton remained the deeper option. Slayton averaged close to 15 ypc, similar to where he’s been for most of his career since entering the league in 2019.
Statistically, he didn’t seem to benefit in the same manner as Robinson with Nabers addition, as he failed to record 45+ receptions and 700+ receiving yards for only the 2nd time in his 6-year career.
TE: Theo Johnson
Similar to fellow rookie Tracy, Johnson started the first quarter of the season slowly with only 3 catches for 37 yards. He then caught his stride over the next 8 by hauling in 26 receptions for 294 yards and a TD. Unfortunately, he’d miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.
BREAKOUT PLAYER: Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tracy will remain the primary running back for 2025, only losing out on touches, as Singletary gives him a breather from a veteran presence and Skattebo provides the hammer to wear down defenses. In 2025, Tracy will finish with 1,600 total yards, 50 receptions and 9 total TDs.
BUST: Jaxson Dart
When a 1st round quarterback is added to a roster that has been so inept at the position for so long, the expectation is that he’ll see the field sooner rather than later. That’s not the case for Dart. When Wilson inevitably misses time, Dart will have his opportunity to show his worth, but it won’t be a situation that he’ll thrive in, as he’ll struggle with NFL windows.
SLEEPER: Cam Skattebo
In the last two seasons, the Giants have ranked 31st and 32nd in the red zone, tied for 24th and 18th in goal-to-go, and 30th and 27th in third-down percentage. Skattebo was added to bolster those numbers. He’ll have a short-yardage and goal-line role immediately, in which he’ll put up 6 TDs as a rookie.
BOLD PREDICTION: Russell Wilson
Wilson has a legit threat at receiver and a talented back with receiving skills that he’ll feed often this season. He’ll start 14+ games, surpass 3,500 passing yards, and for the first time since 2020, he’ll toss 30+ TD passes. He’ll become the first Giants QB with 30+ TD passes in a season since Eli Manning did so in 2015 (35).
