Looking forward to the 2020 NFL season, it’s time to start breaking down how individual players will do statistically. Today we focus on New York Giants QB Daniel Jones‘ projected passing numbers and how they match up against future odds at BetMGM sportsbook.
Daniel Jones’ stats history
Jones took over as the starter for Big Blue last season, pushing two-time Super Bowl champ and MVP Eli Manning out to pasture. This is Jones’ team now, and he should take a big step forward. In 13 games during his rookie season, Jones completed 284 of 459 passes (61.9 percent) for 3,027 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with an 87.7 QB Rating. He was sacked 38 times and fumbled 18 times while also running for 279 yards and a pair of scores.

Daniel Jones’ projected stats and odds
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday, April 17 at 4:15 p.m. E.T.
Passing Yards: 3,799.5 / OVER: -110 / UNDER: -110
Passing Touchdowns: 26.5 / OVER: +105 / UNDER: -125
It’s hard to envision Jones taking any sort of a step back in Season No. 2. If you project out his rookie numbers over a 16-game season, he goes OVER, or comes close to going OVER, in passing yards and passing TDs. If the offensive line can keep him upright, and his mobility helps that quite a bit, too, he should flirt with 4,000 passing yards and 30 TD passes. Remember, he has the dynamic RB Saquon Barkley to dump the ball off to, and he’ll get his share of receiving yardage and scores. When Barkley played a full season in 2018, he had 721 receiving yards and four touchdowns through the air. The G-Men brought back WR Golden Tate to buoy the receiving corps, WR Sterling Shepard is showing signs of improving and WR Darius Slayton could be a useful third receiver with some upside. The future looks bright for Jones. Bet the OVER on both props.
