Huddle Up: Barkley reportedly did not accept a contract offer worth $12.5 million per year during the team's bye week last season and is scheduled to play under the $10.1 million franchise tag in 2023 if extension talks continue to stall. The Giants drafted Eric Gray in the fifth round last month, perhaps with one eye on having a young and able body on the roster next season should Barkley go elsewhere. So long as Barkley plays on the tag in 2023, he should be considered a solid first-round draft choice in most leagues.

Huddle Up: Saquon Barkley will continue to receive most of the work at running back for the Giants, so Gray likely will not see much playing time early in his career. He can be avoided in leagues for now.

Huddle Up: Voted the top collegiate receiver in the country last year, Hyatt was a constant big-play threat. The Giants need explosive playmakers at the receiver position, and Hyatt should have a chance to make plays early.

Huddle Up: Assuming that he stays healthy, Barkley should be viewed as an elite RB1 option in PPR fantasy leagues, with extra motivation to perform well heading into a contract year.

Huddle Up: Barkley will be an elite RB1 in PPR leagues and will be plenty motivated in a contract year.

Huddle Up: Campbell figures to slide right into the starting slot role, especially with Wan'Dale Robinson recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery. He's a WR3 with slight upside if the Giants don't add more to the room this offseason.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see who will start at tight end for the Raiders next season, but the player probably will be a No. 2 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Shepard has struggled with injuries over the last few seasons but likely will have a role in the passing game next season. He can be a possible late round option in fantasy drafts but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

Huddle Up: Slayton showed a good connection with Daniel Jones at times this season but may receive interest from multiple teams if he reaches the free-agent market. He may not be a weekly starting fantasy option next season but can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in leagues.

Huddle Up: The deal will probably be backloaded and give the Giants an out after two years. Jones thrived in his first season under the tutelage of head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, cutting down his turnovers in a big way and consistently showing off his dual-threat ability. Still, it is hard to justify this kind of contract for a quarterback who has never passed for more than 3,205 yards or 24 touchdowns. Nevertheless, his dual-threat ability and Daboll's presence gives him a real chance to be a low-end fantasy QB1 again in 2023.

Huddle Up: Barkley could still get a contract extension, and this move gives the Giants time to work on that with the deadline coming in July. He also won't hit free agency because of the tag being applied. Barkley is a strong RB1 moving forward.

Huddle Up: It looks like the Giants will tag Daniel Jones, so they will have about a week to work on a contract with Barkley before he hits the free-agent market. Barkley will be a starter no matter where he plays in 2023 and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Huddle Up: It looks like there is a chance that Barkley will hit the free-agent market, so fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next week or two. He will start no matter where he plays next season and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The two sides have been working on a contract, but it is believed that Jones is looking for around $45 million per season. He will be with the team for at least one more season but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues.

Huddle Up: It seems like Jones and the Giants are making progress in contract talks, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation over the next few days. Jones is coming off one of his best seasons in the NFL but probably will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most leagues.

Huddle Up: Some of the reports on what Jones is asking for on a per-year basis are borderline ridiculous, somewhere in the $45 million range. It is more likely he settles into the $35-40 million range and agrees to numerous incentives instead. Either way, New York's ability to wrap up Jones' extension before next Tuesday's deadline is important if only because it would allow the Giants to put the franchise tag on Saquon Barkley and keep both players around. Stay tuned.

Huddle Up: This report comes on the heels of general manager Joe Schoen saying he had "no doubt" that Jones will be the starter in 2023. Jones is reportedly looking for a deal that pays him $45 million annually, while the Giants are likely more comfortable paying him close to what the franchise tag is, which is $32.4 million. New York prefers to avoid the franchise tag, as it would eat up the majority of the team's $46.8 million in cap space, but the Giants may have no other choice but to use it with both sides being so far apart. Jones was a solid QB2 in 2022 but has QB1 potential if he can get a better supporting cast.

Huddle Up: Regardless of where Jones ends up, he's a mid-QB2 for fantasy purposes.

Huddle Up: Jones has switched agencies, and a source said Jones wants more than the Giants are willing to offer - possibly as much as $45 million a year. The team could franchise tag him, which would cost $32.416 million, and another team could sign him for two first-round draft picks. Jones is a QB2 in fantasy regardless.

Huddle Up: Hodgins was an exclusive rights free agent, so this was to be expected. The 24-year old made a name for himself in New York in 2022, as he proved to be a reliable target in a passing attack that seriously lacked weapons. While he didn't post gaudy yardage totals, he did find the end zone four times in his last five games, and he posted a 100-yard, one-touchdown performance in the playoffs against the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately for Hodgins, the Giants are expected to add plenty of new weapons in 2023, which will push him down the depth chart and might make him irrelevant. He's worth taking a flyer on in 2023, but chances are he won't return much value, barring injury.

Huddle Up: Shepard has flashed promise during his career and has been a flex option from time to time, but he has simply been unable to stay healthy since 2019, as he's missed a total of 34 games in that span, including 24 over the last two years. Making matters worse, he's coming off two serious leg injuries in a row after suffering a torn Achilles in 2021 and a torn ACL in 2022. Once healthy, Shepard will likely land somewhere but is unlikely to have any fantasy value.

Huddle Up: Both sides are interested in a reunion, but at what price remains to be seen. Some estimates have Jones making around $35 million per year in a new deal. If the Giants and Jones can't come to an agreement, Big Blue has the option to use the franchise tag. All signs point to Jones returning to New York in 2023, and he'll do so with QB1 potential if the Giants can give him some weapons in the passing game.

Huddle Up: Thibodeaux was battling a knee issue to start his rookie campaign, but he flashed his upside late in the year. He could be a sneaky IDP option next year in leagues that value sacks.

Huddle Up: Hughes stated he talked to a few executives at the Senior Bowl to arrive at those numbers. Jones unquestionably had his finest year in four seasons as a pro in 2022, but it makes zero sense for the team to pay that much over multiple years for a player who has yet to throw for more than 24 touchdowns in a season (2019) or 3,205 yards (2022). What seems certain at this point is that New York is interested in retaining his services. If that happens, he should be considered a decent QB2 option in fantasy in 2023.

Huddle Up: Jones is coming off a good 2022 season and probably will be the start for the Giants for the next few seasons. He probably will be considered a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: It seems like Barkley probably will be with the Giants for at least one more season, but it is not known if the two sides will be able to agree on a multi-year deal. Barkley had a bounce back season in 2022 and should be a No. 1 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: If recent history has taught us anything, it is that signing running backs to second contracts typically does not work out well for the team. McCaffrey and Barkley might be two examples of running backs who are special enough that the same logic does not apply to them. It seems unlikely Barkley will get the contract he is supposedly seeking, but it would not be a surprise at all if he ends up getting paid like a top-five back. The bigger question remains if that contract will come from the Giants or someone else.

Huddle Up: Barkley likely will remain with the Giants either with a new contract or the franchise tag. He had a bounce back season in 2022 and has returned as a valuable fantasy option in all leagues. He should be a No. 1 fantasy back in leagues next season.
