Updates from Week 4
Preseason Updates: Quarterbacks
If we are being objective, Jaxson Dart exits the preseason with the exact questions and concerns he started it with. He clearly has the arm talent, leadership, and instincts to develop into an effective starter, but this summer offered equal parts encouraging flashes and familiar concerns. His playmaking ability and poise earned him a spot on the player leadership committee, yet questions remain about his decision-making under duress and whether he can train himself to stop running into contact behind a middling offensive line. Holistically, Dart had his share of ups and downs, leaving plenty of unanswered questions heading into live regular-season action. Jameis Winston's spot as the backup was never in question; he is one of the most experienced No. 2s in the league and serves as a valuable insurance policy given Dart's aggressive play style.
Preseason Updates: Running Backs
This position has been rife with movement and controversy. Cam Skattebo has been treated like the starter throughout camp and the preseason, despite the team playing coy initially by listing Tyrone Tracy Jr. as the co-starter on the first depth chart. Importantly, Skattebo is healthy and has handled a heavy workload with the starters throughout team practices without issue. Although he has some maturity issues to work through, he is positioned to lead the team in touches, rushes, and yards from scrimmage. The real intrigue was the roster crunch behind him, but the Giants ultimately decided to keep all four tailbacks on the 53-man roster. Tracy survived the bubble after flashing his explosiveness in the preseason finale, while veteran Devin Singletary and recently signed power back Najee Harris round out a deep, diverse backfield rotation heading into Week 1.
