The Giants are heading into 2025 with minimal changes to their skill positions. Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are betting that the quarterbacks were to blame for the team’s 31st points per game and 30th yard per game offense. Aside from rookie Cam Skattebo, the team’s skill position players are exactly the same. With such low offensive output, the Giants skill players outside of Malik Nabers were not a coveted group. Not many championship teams featured Wandale Robinson or Darius Slayton. In half-PPR formats, Nabers finished the season as the WR8, Robinson finished as the WR42, and Slayton finished as the WR76. Running back Tyrone Tracy finished as the RB26, as well. All in all, the Giants were far from a reliable fantasy option outside of Nabers. Can that change in 2025? Here’s a look at the best fantasy options on the Giants in 2025.
Ranking Giants 2025 Fantasy Options
6. Cam Skattebo – RB (Rookie)
-
Why: A physical, do-it-all back with soft hands and toughness, Skattebo figures to be a rotational piece behind Tyrone Tracy. His no-nonsense running style and versatility could earn him goal-line and third-down work. He also has a history of carrying a full workload in college. Should Tracy go down, Skattebo could be a low-end RB2.
-
Fantasy Outlook: A deep-league Flex option or Singletary handcuff with potential to rise if he claims a bigger share of touches.
5. Theo Johnson – TE (Rookie)
-
Why: Johnson’s elite athleticism and size give him real upside as a vertical seam-stretcher and red-zone target. He could become a go-to option over the middle. He started to come along at the end of 2024 before a season-ending injury. Daboll is high on Johnson, as he should be, but until he proves can be viable option he’s a talented question mark.
-
Fantasy Outlook: Sleeper TE2 with breakout potential, especially in leagues that reward athletic upside at the position.
4. Wan’Dale Robinson – WR
-
Why: Robinson finished 2024 with a staggering 93 catches for just 699 yards. How much of that was because teams didn’t respect Daniel Jones’ vertical game so they crept at the line of scrimmage? With Wilson at quarterback, Robinson is poised for a bigger role as the team’s primary slot receiver that hopefully utilizes is yards-after-catch ability he showcased in college. He will never be a vertical player in the NFL at 5’8″, but his short-area quickness and ability to create after the catch make him a reliable safety valve and potential chain-mover.
-
Fantasy Outlook: A consistent PPR/half-PPR Flex option, especially in matchups where volume and YAC opportunities are there.
3. Tyrone Tracy, Jr– RB
- Why: Fun fact, Tracy was second in the NFL in rushing during weeks 6-10 in 2024. For a stretch, he was a reliable RB2 until the entire Giants offense fluttered out in the last quarter of the season. Tracy showed versatility as both a runner and receiver in 2024, with 1,000 scrimmage yards as a rookie. Projected to be the Giants’ lead back but faces competition from rookie Cam Skattebo. Still, the team has high hopes for as both a passer and a runner.
- Fantasy Outlook: A reliable RB3/Flex option in 2025 with upside to improve if he secures more consistent touches and cleans up ball security.
2. Darius Slayton – WR
-
Why: Slayton was named the Giants most underrated player in a recent ESPN article. Like Robinson, Slayton’s production could be blamed on Daniel Jones’ inability, or willingness, to stretch the field. Fortunately, Slayton’s new quarterback was the NFL’s best deep passer in 2024. The veteran deep threat got paid and still has a firm grasp on an outside starting role. He should benefit from the defensive attention Malik Nabers draws and remains a big-play threat who can pop for long scores.
-
Fantasy Outlook: A WR4/5 with boom-or-bust appeal, best suited for best ball formats or as a matchup-based Flex in deeper leagues. Don’t be surprised if he enters WR3/flex territory either.
1. Malik Nabers – WR
-
Why: Is this at all surprising? The most dynamic weapon on the team, Nabers should lead the Giants in targets and become the focal point of the passing game. His explosiveness and ability to win at all levels of the field give him star potential. The only bold part about this production is that Nabers could enter elite fantasy territory this year. If Wilson lifts up the offense like Daboll believes he could, Nabers might find himself in Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase conversations by season’s end.
-
Fantasy Outlook: An early second round WR1 with potential to become a high-end WR1 in all formats.
Don’t expect the Giants to be a fantasy juggernaut in 2025. However, with improved quarterback play, there could be a few late round or waiver wire additions that could help a fantasy roster get over the edge. Only time will tell, though. Is Wilson that much of an improvement over Daniel Jones? Who else could be a viable Giants fantasy option?
