Giants Fantasy Outlooks

Chris Raybon breaks down offensive coordinator Mike Shula's playcalling tendencies to forecast who will benefit most.

• Both Sterling Shepard (7.8 vs. 8.3) and Golden Tate (7.8 vs. 8.2) have averaged more yards per target from the outside than in the slot, though Shepard has yet to score a TD outside of the slot in his career. In terms of fantasy points per target, Sterling Shepard drops from 1.84 in the slot to 1.61 outside in PPR and 1.16 to 1.00 in standard. Golden Tate goes from 1.78 inside to 1.80 outside in PPR and 1.03 in the slot to 1.10 outside in standard.

• Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the Giants spent a lot of time in 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TE, 2 WR) in camp, which should be a positive: Compared to 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR), New York’s performance when targeting wide receivers in 12 had the edge in yards per attempt (8.9-8.1) and fantasy points points per attempt (1.66-1.44 PPR, 1.10-0.81 standard). Saquon Barkley & Co. averaged 5.2 yards per carry and a 5.5% TD rate in 11, but 4.9 yards per carry and a 1.8% TD rate in 12.
• In Shurmur and Shula's first year they essentially turned Evan Engram into a running back. His average depth of target was 5.8, down from 8.8 in 2017, and it was 5.5 in games without Odell Beckham."True" YAC takes roughly 84 targets to stabilize, meaning Engram's true YAC is 5.7 and you would have expected him to average 9.8 rather than 12.8 YPC last season. He averaged 5.5 receptions without Beckham last season, which would have netted 53.9 yards, and increases of 1.54 and 0.14 PPR and standard points. That would have lifted him from TE7 and TE5 in PPR and left him as the TE7 in standard. If Engram stayed true to 4.1 receptions per game, he'd average just 40.2 yards, a loss of 1.23 fantasy points per game, which would have caused no drop-off from TE7 in PPR points per game, but a drop from TE7 to TE10 in standard.
