Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) has been fully cleared for contact to start training camp, the team announced Wednesday. Jones is set to participate in all 11-on-11 work, which he didn't do in the spring. “He will play every snap the (first-team offense) is in,” HC Brian Daboll said, adding that the team will monitor Jones closely throughout camp.
Jones is clearly on track to play Week 1 after tearing his right ACL last November, and it's starting to feel like he'll be closer to 100% by that point than we initially thought. That's especially important for Jones, who derives much of his fantasy value from rushing production.
We're still not drafting Jones as more than a QB3 -- maybe a low-end QB2 behind a strong QB1 -- but he has the potential to return a nice profit. Jones finished QB15 in points per game as a rookie in 2019 and QB14 in 2022, his first season with Daboll.
The Giants upgraded the WR corps this offseason with the addition of first-round rookie WR Malik Nabers.
We'll see if this latest news bumps Jones' ADP. He's way down at QB28 in consensus ADP and QB26 in best ball ADP.
