| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daniel Jones | 439.1 | 281 | 2985.9 | 14.49 | 10.1 | 69.6 | 365.4 | 2.61 | 209.4 |
| Anthony Richardson | 109.8 | 56 | 757.6 | 3.73 | 3.84 | 34.8 | 198.4 | 3.13 | 76.16 |
| QB Totals | 548.9 | 337 | 3743.5 | 18.22 | 13.94 | 104.4 | 563.8 | 5.74 | 285.56 |
Daniel Jones: Jones has been named "the starting quarterback for the season." While there may not be a "short leash," it's certainly possible that both Jones and Anthony Richardson make starts in 2025. Jones is an underrated rusher and he shouldn't tank the passing attack the way Richardson may have.
Anthony Richardson: While he's been terrible as a passer — 50.6% completion rate through 15 starts with more interceptions (13) thrown than touchdowns (11), Richardson will have enormous rushing upside if/when he starts. In fact, he has scored nearly as many rushing touchdowns (10) as he's thrown. As much as Jones has been named the starter "for the season," it's definitely possible that Richardson draws starts this season.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Taylor | 292.2 | 1344.1 | 10.52 | 36.5 | 277.8 | 1.1 | 250.16 |
| DJ Giddens | 46.4 | 201.8 | 1.16 | 8.6 | 62.8 | 0.3 | 39.52 |
| Tyler Goodson | 16.2 | 72.9 | 0.36 | 3.6 | 25.2 | 0.2 | 14.97 |
| RB Totals | 354.8 | 1618.8 | 12.04 | 48.7 | 365.8 | 1.6 | 304.65 |
Jonathan Taylor: Like with Derrick Henry, a concern with Taylor is the lack of receiving volume, especially with Anthony Richardson (or Daniel Jones) under center. That said, he should get more targets (and fewer rushing touchdowns vultured) from Jones than Richardson. Taylor, who missed Weeks 5-7, had only 12/59/1 receiving on 21 targets over the final 10 games of the season. But his rushing numbers over that span were elite — 231 carries for 1,082 yards, both of which were second to only Saquon Barkley, and seven touchdowns. One additional concern with Taylor is that he has missed at least three games in three consecutive seasons.
WIDE RECEIVERS

| Michael Pittman Jr. | 84.1 | 927.3 | 4.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 161.78 |

| WR Totals | 212.9 | 2551.1 | 11.7 | 4.6 | 18.4 | 0.14 | 434.44 |
Michael Pittman Jr.: Considering the team's quarterback struggles and the fact that he played with a fracture in his back, Pittman's 2024 season was incredibly solid (69/808/3 on 111 targets in 16 games). Before that, he eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in two of his previous three seasons. His 2025 outlook will be shaped by which quarterback earns the most starts. With Daniel Jones entering 2025 as the starter, Pittman's outlook has improved and he's a good value compared to his current ADP.

Josh Downs: See Pittman Jr., Michael. All of the team's pass catchers benefit from playing with Daniel Jones under center. Downs finished his second season with 72/803/5 on 107 targets, and a full season with Jones could allow him to better those numbers in year three. It's unclear if Downs, who's rehabbing a hamstring injury will play in Week 1 as Shane Steichen recently said "should practice next week."
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tyler Warren | 62.7 | 675.7 | 3.9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 122.32 |
| Mo Alie-Cox | 5.6 | 68.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12.65 |
| Andrew Ogletree | 4.6 | 55.9 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10.89 |
| Will Mallory | 2.5 | 26.4 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4.49 |
| TE Totals | 75.4 | 826.5 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 150.35 |
Tyler Warren: Tight end is a position where rookies have historically struggled to make immediate impacts, but a pair of rookie tight ends — Sam LaPorta (2023) and Brock Bowers (2024) — have led the position in fantasy points in back-to-back seasons. Viewed by many as the most well-rounded tight end in this draft class, Warren's all-around skill set could outweigh the potential limitations of a mediocre offensive environment with subpar quarterback play. If you draft multiple tight ends, Warren is a back-end TE1 who could pay huge dividends.
