New York Giants QB Daniel Jones had a disappointing 2023-24 season — and it didn’t help that it came right after signing a massive contract extension. He struggled to stay on the field, only playing 6 games, but even when he was healthy, the Giants offense struggled.
With RB Saquon Barkley off to Philadelphia, the New York offense is not at a level to give Giants fans much confidence. The team did select WR Malik Nabers out of LSU in the 1st round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but Jones will need to replicate his 2022-23 season (3,025 passing yards, 15 TDs) to make an impact on fantasy rosters, something not many are expecting.
Betting odds project the Giants to have a 6-11 record, and Jones’ performance in the 2nd preseason game seem to reinforce this belief. Jones completed 11 of 18 passes for 138 yards, but his 2 interceptions were worrisome.
Below, we look at Daniel Jones’ 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Daniel Jones’ ADP: 140.74
(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Jones’ 140.74 ADP in redraft leagues puts him in the range of the 11th to 17th round depending on the size of the league. Nabers has the best ADP among all Giants at 39.84, followed by RB Devin Singletary (81.08), TE Theo Johnson (124.20) and then Jones.
Jones’ ADP ranks him 32nd among all QBs. He’s behind Tennessee’s Will Levis (140.30) and New Orleans’ Derek Carr (138.82), and ahead of Carolina’s Bryce Young (146.22), Las Vegas’ Gardner Minshew (150.89) and Pittsburgh’s Russell Wilson (154.01).

Where should you draft Jones?
If you’re in a 2-quaterback league, you can entertain drafting Jones, but there is better potential from Carolina’s Young or Pittsburgh QB Justin Fields (165.44 ADP), who have just as much baggage but higher upside.
In most 10-team fantasy leagues, Jones will be undrafted. Based on last season’s stats, if you are considering having Jones on your team, you should wait until Week 1 to see how he plays first.
Based on his history, there may be plenty of people hesitant to pick him up.
