New York Giants
Additions: T Andrew Thomas, T Matt Peart, G Shane Lemieux, T Cam Fleming
Losses: R Mike Remmers, C Jon Halapio, T Nate Solder
Continuity: G Will Hernandez, C Spencer Pulley, G Kevin Zeitler, G/T Nick Gates
Unlike the Browns, who can make an immediate improvement (at least in the run game), the Giants’ offensive line is a bit more nebulous. There are a lot of moving parts and questions surrounding who is going to start at what position.
Kevin Zeitler and Nick Gates are two stars returning for the 2020 season, and both have an “A” grade from PFF in both pass and run blocking heading into the year. Andrew Thomas, Matt Peart, and Shane Lemieux are all rookies and Cam Fleming is a free agent acquisition who saw his best seasons in 2016 and 2017. It is very clear from the draft and offseason moves that the Giants are serious about protecting their sophomore QB Daniel Jones, who was sacked 38 times last year.
Although the Giants added volume and raw talent, the chemistry is still muddy. With an abbreviated offseason, young blood, and only a few cemented starters, this O-Line looks set to have a rocky start.
With that being said, it may take just a few weeks for the line to gel. Unlike the Browns, who focused on Stefanski’s run-first scheme with their O-Line additions, the Giants' linemen are talented on both fronts. Once they get to know each other outside of Zoom calls and get some real football under their belts, expect big things from this Giants team.
Fantasy Implications: There are quite a few offensive weapons among the Giants that I am excited to target for the 2020 season. Barkley is obvious, but I also like down-field threat Darius Slayton, TE Evan Engram if he can stay healthy, and especially Jones as a late-round, high-upside quarterback. It will take some time for the offense to get their feet underneath them, but once it happens, watch out. If you take any of these players in your draft, be prepared to hold onto them until that time comes. If you miss out, keep your eyes on the waiver wire. Your leaguemates may likely rage drop due to the lack of immediate production.
