Unfortunately, the New York Giants are 2-8 in their bye week. Having won two in the first five weeks of the season, the Giants have lost all their games since their Week 5 victory against the Seattle Seahawks.

It’s been a new season full of fears so far, and many people are already turning to the draft. The Giants currently sit at No. 2 overall, just behind the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Head coach Brian Daboll and the rest of the coaching staff are trying to keep the locker room together at this point as they face an uphill battle to win again this year.

Now that the Giants are off for the remainder of the bye, let’s take a look at whose stocks have risen and fallen over the last ten games.

Stats: 8 GPs, 61 receptions, 607 yards, three touchdowns

The electric rookie wideout has already made his mark. Nabers’ 607 yards despite missing two games due to concussion Tied most times among rookies (college teammate Brian Thomas Jr. with (now in Jacksonville).

It’s clear the Giants have found their No. 1 option of the future, and he’ll only improve once the team upgrades the quarterback position.

Statistics: 10 GP, 2,070 passes, eight goals, seven interceptions

It’s an obvious choice, as Jones hasn’t shown anything to warrant him being the Giants’ starting quarterback after the bye, let alone this season.

He’s been shown flashes, but flashes in sixth year aren’t nearly enough. Jones has exhibited many issues all season, such as missing open receivers or not being able to get the ball out of his hands in time.

At this point, he doesn’t look much like a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. Last week’s loss proved that Jones was unable to take advantage of the Carolina Panthers’ abysmal defense.

He had two interceptions, both in the red zone. It was a performance that Giants fans have been numb to for the last six years.

Statistics: 10 GP, 38 tackles, eight tackles for loss, nine sacks, 15 quarterback hits

Lawrence’s dominance is still on display as he proves to be the best nose tackle in the league. He currently ranks second in the league in sacks, just behind Trey Henderson of the Cincinnati Bengals.

While Lawrence has been a strong name in the interior for the last three seasons and has been giving nightmares to opposing offensive lines, nothing has changed.

Statistics: 37 tackles, six passes defended, six touchdowns allowed

The Giants entered this season hoping Banks would step up and become their No. 1 cornerback. Things haven’t gone well so far because he has become a defensive liability.

The former 2023 first-rounder has struggled to keep up with the league’s top wide receivers all season long. The more glaring issue was Banks’ lack of effort on some plays, like CeeDee Lamb’s touchdown in Week 4 and Jalen Hurts’ run in Week 7. Banks was slowed in both games and many expressed disappointment in his lack of effort.

He remained benched midway through the Giants’ Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite blocking a field goal early in the game. The Giants haven’t given up on him yet, but he needs to adjust and show why he’s worthy of a first-round draft pick.

Statistics: 46 tackles, nine tackles for loss, six sacks, seven passes defended

The Giants made a blockbuster trade in the offseason for Burns, who had a really solid first year with the team. He lost running mate Kayvon Thibodeaux for four games due to an ankle injury, but Azeez Ojulari made a nice interception.

Burns has suffered multiple injuries this season, including a groin injury. Despite this, he gave 110% effort in every defeat and helped the Giants maintain their lead in the league this year.

Stats: 3 GP, 3/4 FG, 2/2 XP

Gano signed a three-year extension before Week 1 last year and has yet to fulfill that contract. This has mostly been injury related, as Gano has failed to stay healthy over the past two seasons. He injured his hamstring while trying to run in the opening kickoff of Week 2 and missed the next seven games.

Gano returned in Week 10 and missed a 43-yard field goal in the second quarter. We can easily say this because he is no longer younger and does not act as automatically as in previous years.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Giants start thinking about taking another shot sooner rather than later.

Statistics: 10 GP (six starts), 107 carries, 545 yards, three touchdowns, 5.1 yards per carry

Tracy took over the running back position from Devin Singletary and hasn’t looked back. Many viewed the fifth-round rookie as a sleeper prospect in the preseason, and he’s showing it now.

Tracy has three games with 100-plus rushing yards in six starts and can break up long runs at critical moments. It’s only her second year in this position, but Tracy is really starting to scratch the surface of her full potential. His vision is improving each week and he’s starting to settle into being the Giants’ future primary ball carrier.

Statistics: 9 GP, five catches, 45 yards

Hyatt, who contributed four catches for 39 yards against the Panthers on Sunday, has been a major disappointment in his second season. He didn’t get many opportunities due to his lack of development, as opposing defenses destroyed his one-dimensional ability (running deep).

However, there is a chance to finish the season strong. The Giants traded him just a year ago, they won’t give up on him completely just yet.

Darius Slayton’s performance has also been a major reason why Hyatt hasn’t seen playing time, as the veteran winger has been a solid option opposite Nabers on the perimeter.

Statistics: 9 GP, 43 tackles, six tackles for loss, one sack, two forced fumbles

The Giants have found cornerbacks over the years, with Phillips emerging as a standout so far in his rookie year.

He’s also been pretty good at covering, allowing just one touchdown. Phillips has proven to be a physical threat near the line of scrimmage. His best performance came in Week 2, when he had 12 tackles, two for a loss and one against the Commanders.

Statistics: 9 GP, 43 tackles, three tackles for loss, three sacks, one pass defensed

Pinnock provided solid safety next to Xavier McKinney last season. Now that McKinney is gone, he’s become a liability as the system’s last line of defense. He made a few nice plays in the running game but failed to make much of an impact this year.

The glaring issue was missed tackles, as it has been in all of 2023, as it has already happened in seven of nine games.
