The New York Giants signed former first-round wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin following a tryout at rookie minicamp last weekend.

Early 2021 Breakouts: Tight End

It is never too early to check a crystal ball to see what the future might hold --- especially in fantasy football. Detroit’s T.J. Hockenson had an injury-marred rookie campaign in 2019 that ruined the title hopes of many fantasy general managers, but the former first-round pick rebounded like Dennis Rodman in his sophomore season. […]

Daniel Jones Set Up for Success - Will It Work?

Given his status as a surprising top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL draft and a relatively successful rookie season, the 2020 season was seen as a make-or-break year for Daniel Jones for many NFL fans. Unfortunately, Jones (and the Giant’s offense as a whole) struggled to take the next step around the second-year signal-caller. The […]

Who is the Dynasty 1.01 Now???

Now that we know where all of the players from this year's draft have landed, it's time to get to doing some dynasty rookie drafts. A lot of years, there's a clear person to pick with that No. 1 rookie pick. Remember how Saquon Barkley was the unanimous 1.01 a few years back? It's less […]

They Took Who??? The Most Confusing NFL Draft Picks

Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]

Giants Defense Adds Aaron Robinson

The New York Giants selected Central Florida cornerback Aaron Robinson with the No. 71 overall pick in the third round of the 2021 NFL draft on Friday night. Robinson can get it done both on the inside and outside because of his quick feet and good route recognition. If anything, he can be an immediate […]

The New York Giants selected Florida wide receiver Kadarius Toney with the No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night.

The New York Giants picked up the fifth-year option for the 2022 season on the contract of running back Saquon Barkley on Wednesday, according to a source.
