Daniel Jones 2022 NFL Player Outlook: Sneaky QB With Upside
2 years agoIt's no secret the Giants' offense has been nothing short of dysfunctional in recent years as the team's quarterback Daniel Jones had to deal with the likes of former head coaches Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge, and former GM Dave Gettleman's constant roster snafus. The question is whether the No.6 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft can finally live up to his potential. The Giants declined Jones' fifth-year option this offseason making him a free agent in 2023. With new Head Coach, Brian Daboll in the fold and no other viable competition for Jones on the depth chart the Giants seem committed to seeing if they can resurrect him in 2022. With a healthy Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, and upgrades on the offensive line, including first-round RT Evan Neal and signing free agent C Jon Feliciano. New York's offense can be much better in 2022 since it has nowhere to go but up. The 25-year-old does offer a decent rushing floor for fantasy purposes. Despite the Giants' dysfunction, Jones was the QB17 in 2021 on a PPG basis. Jones was also fifth in play-action completion percentage in 2021, so it will be interesting to see what Daboll can dial up to make the Giants' offense viable again. Jones is in a prove-it year and has more value in Superflex leagues but is an intriguing streaming option to keep an eye on in one QB league formats. There is a stretch that the Giants play the Jaguars, Seahawks, Texans, and Lions in 4 out of 5 weeks midseason.
