How should we value Daniel Jones? A thread.
Last season Jones took over for Eli Manning in week 3 and remained the starter the rest of the year.
He finished as the QB23 in the 13 games he played in.
He finished as the QB23 in the 13 games he played in.
Weeks 3-17 he finished as the QB15 and if you were to take his FPPG average over 16 games he would have finished as the QB12.
Which was ahead of Brady, Goff, and Jimmy GQ.

Last season the Giants dealt with several injuries across the board.
Barkley missed 3 games, Engram missed 8 games, Slayton missed 2 games, Shepard missed 6 games, and Tate missed 5 games.

The OL should be improved with offseason acquisitions Kevin Zeitler and Andrew Thomas.
Thomas was the 4th overall pick in the NFL Draft and Zeitler was traded for in March.

Jones did have a lot of turnovers last year, but 12 quarterbacks had just as many, or more interceptions last season.
Jones was also sacked the 6th most times last year and had 18 fumbles. That should be better this season with an improved OL.

In Dak's first 3 years under Jason Garrett he passed for at least 3,300 yards, and 22 TDs.
Dak had a career year in 2019, but Kellen Moore was calling the plays in Dallas at that point.

If the Giants can stay healthy for the full season I think Jones can easily be a top 15 QB with top 10, or even better upside.
Last season he didn't have a full arsenal of weapons, and Barkley was nursing an injury the full season even when he was on the field.

Jones current ADP according to Fantasy Pros is 15th and according to DLF 14th, at his position.
I think Jones is a safe pick that can easily exceed expectations at his price point.
