Draft note

by John Paulsen

Jones had a wild rookie season. After taking over as the starter in Week 3, he had four games where he scored at least 28 points, and they were all on the road. He also had six games of 12.3 points or less, and five of them were at home. Jones is currently going off the board in the 10th round as a high-end QB2. He has dual-threat ability (22.8 yards rushing and 0.17 rush TD in 12 starts) and averaged 17.8 fantasy points in his 12 starts, which is what Josh Allen averaged as last year’s No. 7 quarterback. Jones has one of the better receiving corps in the league, including Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Evan Engram, to go along with Saquon Barkley in the backfield. He needs to work on his ball security (11 fumbles as a rookie) but has the upside that fantasy owners should be looking for in the later rounds.

Giants Beat: TE Evan Engram, WR Sterling Shepard need to stay on field

New York Post

Jul 07 · 8:27 PM EDT

What Evan Engram cannot do, at least thus far, is stay healthy. He played in 11 games in 2018 and only eight last season, forced out with ligament damage in his foot that required surgery.

No one wants to talk much about what happens next with Sterling Shepard. He sustained two concussions last season that forced him out of six games. He dealt with a migraine issue earlier in his career. These are cumulative health concerns, and if Shepard continues to encounter head and concussion issues he will not make it through the length of his contract.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite the injury issues with both players, the talent is there. As a rookie in 2017, Engram had 11 receptions of 20 or more yards. In 2018, he averaged 8.7 yards after the catch per reception. That was second among all tight ends, behind only George Kittle. Shepard isn't a number-one WR, but he's a locker room asset and a nice compliment on the field. Having both healthy will be great news for Jones this year.

NYG QB Daniel Jones - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Washington Football Team

Daniel Jones threw for 222 yards in a loss against the Cowboys last week. It was a fantastic matchup and he failed to put up viable fantasy numbers, even in 2QB formats. He has a nice matchup against the Washington Football Team this week, who just allowed big numbers to Jared Goff and the Rams, but it’s hard to trust him. At best, he’s a bye week or injury filler in 2QB leagues until further notice. He’s droppable in 1QB leagues.
