The New York Giants will be hoping for an improvement in 2024 after ending last season with a 6-11 record. In addition, their fantasy football offensive assets failed to deliver, as just three teams had fewer than the Giants' 29 offensive touchdowns in 2023.
The Giants' offense as a whole struggled mightily, with their 85 sacks allowed the second-most for a single season in NFL history. QB Daniel Jones also suffered a torn ACL midway through the season, with Jones, Tommy DeVito and Tyrod Taylor all starting games in an inconsistent season altogether.
With Saquon Barkley now out of the building having joined the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency, the Giants' offense will look very different in 2024, but which fantasy football assets can be relied upon in New York?

Giants' 5 best fantasy assets in 2024
#5 - Jalin Hyatt, WR

Sophomore WR Jalin Hyatt will be hoping to build on a rookie season that saw flashes of brilliance but overall was below expectations. Hyatt totaled 373 yards on just 23 receptions in seven starts in 2023.
The merry-go-round at quarterback definitely wouldn't have helped, but Hyatt will be looking to build more of a rapport with QB Daniel Jones in 2024. He's a big play waiting to happen, so if he can become more consistent his ADP of #270 overall could be a steal.
#4 - Daniel Jones, QB
After a season-ending ACL injury in 2023, many forget Daniel Jones finished as QB9 in fantasy football in 2022, aided by 708 rushing yards and seven touchdown runs. He also gets a true WR1 for the first time in his career in sixth overall draft pick, Malik Nabers.
However, in the six games Jones played before getting hurt last year, he passed for just two touchdowns versus six interceptions with a passer rating of just 70.5. Depending on which Daniel Jones turns up in 2024, his ADP of #203 overall could be a bargain or a waste of a pick.
#3 - Darius Slayton, WR
One of the most consistent performers on the Giants' offense in recent years has been veteran WR Darius Slayton. Slayton has amassed between 45-50 receptions and between 700-800 yards in all four of his fully-healthy NFL seasons to date.
He ended 2023 as WR46 in PPR scoring, ahead of the likes of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tee Higgins, but goes undrafted in most fantasy leagues in 2024 with an ADP of #275 overall. He can be a solid fill-in option for a starter on a bye week or potentially propel himself to a flex option.
#2 - Devin Singletary, RB
Following the departure of Saquon Barkley, the New York Giants signed Devin Singletary to lead the backfield in 2024.
Last season with the Houston Texans, Singletary totaled 898 yards and four scores, adding 193 more yards through the air. He was productive after wrestling the starting berth from Dameon Pierce, finishing 19th in explosive run rate and 22nd in missed tackles forced per attempt per Fantasy Points Data.
Singletary's ADP is #84, and with little competition for snaps in the Giants' backfield, he could prove to be a steal, possibly becoming a solid RB2 in fantasy football squads.
#1 - Malik Nabers, WR
Taken with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft, Malik Nabers out of LSU is already the Giants' best fantasy football asset. Nabers totaled 3,003 yards and 21 TDs in college, including a fantastic 2023 season that saw him catch 89 passes for 1,569 yards and 14 scores.
Given his draft capital, Nabers is expected to be WR1 for Daniel Jones immediately, and his yards-after-catch ability diminishes question marks about whichever quarterback is throwing him the ball.
Nabers' ADP is #46 overall, meaning you could get the next elite LSU receiver long after Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase, perhaps in round four of fantasy football drafts (depending on your league size).
