New York Giants Snap Counts

While most were expecting the Giants to rest their starters, they didn’t and knocked Washington out of the playoffs. Odell Beckham Jr was the only starter to take things lightly, playing just 67% of the snaps. Paul Perkins out-snapped Rashad Jennings, but I wouldn’t anticipate this into the playoffs.

The Giants offense is really in a state of shambles, which is cloaked by Odell Beckham Jr, who played 99% of the snaps this week. Sterling Shepard also played 99%. Rashad Jennings played 46% of the snaps, with Paul Perkins playing 38% of the snaps behind him.

Paul Perkins and Rashad Jennings each played about 40% of the snaps. It was business as usual for the receiving core. Sterling Sheppard and Odell Beckham Jr played 90%+ of the team snaps. Will Tye played 66% of the team snaps, but hasn't been useful in the starting role.

This was a grind it out game for the New York Giants, and an ugly fantasy game. Odell Beckham played 100% of the snaps, as he usually does. Rashad Jennings played 54% of the snaps to Paul Perkins 37%. We also saw another week of Will Tye leading the way at tight end.

New York failed to deliver any offense on the road, yet not much changed in terms of snaps. Will Tye remains the starting tight end, playing 78% of the snaps. Rashad Jennings played 50% of the snaps, while Paul Perkins played 38%. The wide receiver numbers remained similar to their season long averages.

Rashad Jennings played 50% of the team snaps this week, which didn't result to much against a bad defense. Paul Perkins played 39%, who has the grasp on the team's RB2. Will Tye played 88% of the snaps, and has been the team's tight end now for a majority of the snaps. This should continue.

Rashad Jennings had his first solid game in a while, playing 70% of the snaps, and posting over 15 fantasy points. Sterling Shepard, Victor Cruz, and Odell Beckham Jr were all over 90% of the snaps. Will Tye also saw 78% of the snaps, leading the way for Giants tight ends.

No surprises here, but Odell Beckham Jr. played 100% of the team snaps, with Sterling Shepard playing 95%. Tavarres King and Roger Lewis picked up a majority of the snaps behind them. Rashad Jennings and Paul Perkins had a 60-40 split, and if Jennings ever went down, Perkins seems to have a grasp on the number two role.

Victor Cruz is injured again, and Roger Lewis was the one who saw the most action at WR3. He played 58% of the snaps. The rookie Paul Perkins played 34% of the snaps, still sitting behind Rashad Jennings. Will Tye played 72% of the snaps, and looks to have grabbed the starting tight end role.

Bye Week

The running game continues to be all over the place, but Rashad Jennings played 50% of the snaps this week. Paul Perkins played 27%, which is an encouraging step for the rookie. Victor Cruz wasn't up in the 90% range this week, he sat at 73%. Not sure if this was part of the plan or not.

Rashad Jennings came back this week, and essentially split time with Bobby Rainey. Other than that, it was about the same situation as we have seen in the previous weeks. The Giants passing attack got going finally, as Odell Beckham Jr. finally got off the hump for a big week.

There is still no running game to look at in New York. Shane Vereen and Rashad Jennings both are out, and we saw Bobby Rainey play a majority of the snaps (50%). This is more for his involvement in the run game. Will Tye played 66% of the snaps, for the injured Larry Donnell.

With both Shane Vereen and Rashad Jennings out, we saw Bobby Rainey play the most snaps of any back. Orleans Darkwa played 23 behind him, and Paul Perkins played 15. Darkwa finished with the highest amount of fantasy points. Victor Cruz, Sterling Shepard, and Odell Beckham Jr all played their usual amount of snaps.

Another running back injury for the Giants, but Shane Vereen played 54% of the snaps, with Orleans Darkwa playing 31%. The wide receiver core all played over 90% of the snaps again. The tight end duo was in favor of Larry Donnell, who played 46 snaps to Will Tye's 26 snaps.

The wide receiver trio played more than 90% of the snaps. Victor Cruz being injured for the last few years is the more notable name, given this is a step into being fully healthy and showing it. Shane Vereen played 51% of the snaps, due to Rashad Jennings going down with an injured arm.

Victor Cruz came back this week, and played 89% of the snaps. This bodes well for a Giants offense that loves to throw. Sterling Shepard and Odell Beckham Jr. both played 95%+ of the snaps. Rashad Jennings was on the field for 57% of the snaps, while Shane Vereen played just 43%. The Giants wanted to run the ball a bit more with Jennings, and they might just do that.

New York Giants Snap Count Breakdown

Eli Manning loves having Odell Beckham on his team, or at least that's a theory behind why Manning played 99 percent of the teams offensive snaps. Ryan Nassib was second on the team in quarterback snaps with six. While injuries are always lingering in football, Manning was and should continue to be a rock solid option for the Giants.

While they keep adding shiny new toys to the passing game, they didn't add anything to the rushing game this offseason other than a fifth round pick Paul Perkins. They obviously have some confidence in Rashad Jennings and Shane Vereen. Those two both ended up with 38 percent of the offensive snaps in 2015. Orleans Darkwa and Andre Williams were decent secondary options, but were only put in sporadically and weren't very helpful on the times they were in.

Odell Beckham was an enormous part of the offense, and played 90 percent of the Giants offensive snaps. A rather shocking number, but Rueben Randle was right behind him at 89 percent. Dwayne Harris and Hakeem Nicks were the main options in three wide receiver sets. It appears Victor Cruz will be playing this year, and the Giants also welcome second round pick Sterling Shepard to the group. Those two should take up a majority of what Rueben Randle left behind. Based on the way the Giants have evolved and didn't address the running back situation, they should be passing more than ever.

In 2015, the tight end position was an absolute mess for the Giants. Larry Donnell and Will Tye played the most snaps, respectively. Tye played 48 percent and Donnell was in on 35. Neither really got all that involved in the passing game, but they had moments. It should be similar in 2016, as the wide receivers get most of the shine in the passing game.
