Summary

The Giants defense played well at the right time of the year, peaking at the end of the year and during their Super Bowl run. But they really disappointed for much of the regular season, failing to generate much pressure on the quarterback and struggling against the pass. The Giants finished the season just 29th against the pass while ranking 27th overall defensively. New York did have 28 sacks, though, which was among the highest in the league. The pass rush will be a strength once again this season but the secondary remains a bit of a concern. A healthy Prince Amukamara at cornerback would be a plus, though. He gives the team some good depth and has shutdown ability if he continues to grow at the position. Special teams aren't too exciting for the Giants. Jerrel Jernigan is the favorite to handle both punt and return duties for the Giants. He is a young player with upside but didn't get many chances in that role last season, so the verdict is still out on him.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Giants have a lot of talent on the defense side of the ball and we expect them to play better from day one this season. They are a legit starter for fantasy teams, mainly because of their top sack potential. The Giants aren't an elite unit but just outside that group.
