finger injury cost Herbert the final four games, but even projecting his numbers comes out to a relatively disappointing 4,098 yards and 26 TDs.

The only constant throughout Herbert’s four seasons has been change, playing under a trio of offensive coordinators (Shane Steichen, Joe Lombardi, and Kellen Moore). That continues in 2024 as new head coach Jim Harbaugh has brought Greg Roman along as OC. On the personnel side, the standout receiver tandem of Keenan Allen (Chicago Bears) and Mike Williams (New York Jets) are both gone, as is tight end Gerald Everett (Bears).

On the field, Allen, who caught 380 passes over the last four seasons, is the biggest loss. It’s the change off it that could make an even bigger difference, however, as the tandem of Harbaugh and Roman have made no secret about their desire to control the line of scrimmage and run the football. It’s a philosophy that was driven home by the selection of offensive tackle Joe Alt with the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft. LA also overhauled the running back room, signing former Baltimore Ravens J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards as the top two backs.

At receiver, the Bolts will try to replace Allen and Williams with returning talent Joshua Palmer (38-581-2 in 2023) and last year’s first-rounder Quentin Johnston (38-431-2), free-agent signee DJ Chark Jr. (35-525-5) with the Carolina Panthers), and second-round selection Ladd McConkey. There are some interesting names here, particularly if Johnston can develop into the player that thought they were getting with the 21st overall pick a year ago, but nobody comes with the track record of Williams, much less Allen.

Fantasy football outlook

A change in coaching, a change in offensive philosophy, and a change in personnel. Add it all up and it’s a lot to overcome for anyone, especially when you consider that Herbert has already seen his numbers trend in the wrong direction the past couple of years. That’s the glass half-empty perspective.

The optimistic viewpoint centers on Herbert’s skill set and a belief that you don’t pay a quarterback north of $50 million per season to have him throw 20 passes a game. He’s a tremendous talent, and he has shown a willingness throughout his career to target whoever is on the field in any situation, so don’t expect him to be gun shy with lesser known wideouts. Whether they can deliver is yet to be known.

While he’s best viewed as a QB2, Herbert carries viable upside. He may prove to be frustrating to play in fantasy, however.

If you told me a couple of years ago I would have a chance to speak to Fantasy Football Guru, Evan Silva, I would have laughed at you.

Are The NY Giants Relevant Now?  NY Giants 2020 Draft Review   

The NY Giants 2020 NFL Draft went off without a hitch.  Who thought that streaming would be an issue? The team held the 4th pick in 1st round and took Georgia OT Andrew Thomas.  At the conclusion of the draft, Big Blue made 10 picks over the 7 rounds.  For the most part, reviews from outlets such as CBS and the New York Post have been favorable.  With that said… let’s get straight to the point.  Will these draft picks assist the team in improving on a 2019 4-12 record?

What do the Odds Makers Say?

The Giants are projected to have a sub .500 record.  A record that puts them at the bottom of the barrel within the NFC East. From the 2020 NFL Draft, Vegas oddsmakers have not exactly gone out of their way to adjust the teams OVER / UNDER win total line.  As of today, the NY Giants OVER / UNDER win total line sits at 6 games. Comment below… what side of the fence are you sitting on?  Are you leaning toward NYG OVER Or UNDER 6 Wins?  

StatementGames – New York Giants OVER / UNDER 6 Wins?  

Some Of the Crew at Bleed Big Blue are optimistic that this team will be improved, while others are a little more NEGATIVE.  Regardless, this year, when football returns (hopefully sooner, rather than later) we would play this OVER / UNDER NFL 2020 WINS game on StatementGames.  In the past, you have heard us chat about StatementGames and the innovation they are bringing to the Fantasy Football industry.  A 1-minute overview of how their platform is positioned can be seen in the video below:  

https://youtu.be/Izy3jkCqGXo

From the video notice how their game combines traditional elements of Fantasy sports with prop betting.  In addition to the StatementGames Web Site, the games they published can be accessed via the iOS App or Google Play App.   This is a FREE 2 Play platform that gives you an opportunity to WIN REAL Cash! 

Here is how this NFL 2020 OVER / UNDER WINS game works.  Once you get into the game:  1. Review the list of all 31 NFL teams and their projected WIN Totals.  2. Make 10 Picks.  From the list make 10 OVER / UNDER WIN Total projections.  3. Rank your projections in order of confidence from 10 through 1.  (10 Being your most confident selection)   4. Make sure you save your selections

You are going to be playing in leagues of 8-12 NFL fans. As the season plays out, you will receive points for selections that become correct. Finish in the top three and receive StatementGames credits. Exchange your credits for cash REWARDS but if you WIN… and one of your selections was New York Giants UNDER 6 WINS… we hope you CHOKE on your REWARD! Be safe and have fun with StatementGames.

Happy Thanksgiving and a happy and healthy holiday season to all who follow us here on BleedBigBlue.com. What am I thankful for? Plenty….

I am thankful to Marco, head of BleedBigBlue.com, for the opportunity to write and share my thoughts on not only the New York Giants, but the entire NFL with you. I am grateful beyond words and hope to write for many seasons to come. Thank you Marco for giving me a chance.

I am thankful to whoever reads my musings…I hope my thougts provoke emotion out of my readers. Good, bad or indifferent. I hope at times I have made you laugh…fired you up or even had you say..”Wow..this asshole has no clue what he is talking about.” I am totally fine with conjuring up any of those emotions in you…If you are reacting at all to my words, in a good or bad way, it brings a smile to my face.

I am thankful to Phill Simms and Lawrence Taylor who showed me the Big Blue Light 28+ years ago.

I am thankful for seeing and remembering vividly 4 Super Bowl vicories….also thankful for personal days which enabled me to go to two parades…good times.

I am thankful “to all the girls I’ve loved before….who have traveled in and out my door…I’m glad you came along…I dedicate this song…to all the girls I’ve loved before.”

I am thankful for Scott Norwood….I am not thankful for Flipper Anderson.

I am thankful for Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, AJ Green, Jamal Charles, Zak Stacy and Josh Gordon for making my fantasy team bad ass.

And most of all….I am thankful for December 2nd, 2003. The day my daughter Adriana was born. She turns 10 tomorrow. Where does the time go? Seems like the last decade has gone by so fast…not only for Coughlin, Eli and our Giants….but for a beautiful, smart and incredibly funny young lady. I have watched her grow in awe over the last ten years and still find myself staring at her in wonder at times. She is the one gift I have received that makes me think I did something right in my lifetime, and she enriches my life every single day more than she will ever realize. I am so proud of you Adriana, and I can’t wait to drag you to Giants training camp again next year…. Daddy loves you…(heartface).

PICKS OF THE WEEK —

RECORD LAST WEEK ATS — 5-7

RECORD ON THE SEASON — 32-34-3 — GOTTA BE ABOVE .500 BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS….TIME TO MAKE A RUN — LET US PRAY —

Jaguars +7 over the Browns — Everything in my gut says the Browns win big. Jags 3rd straight road game, cold weather and then I see Brandon Weeden is playing QB for the Browns. I will take the points. BROWNS 17 Jaguars 13

Dolphins +2 over the Jets — Geno Smith in his last 6 games has 1 td and 10 picks. Wouldn’t be surprised to a Simms by the 3rd quarter. DOLPHINS 20 Jets 14

Bengals +1 over the Chargers — Time for Andy Dalton to step up. The Chargers defense is going to have trouble with the Bengals running game all day long. AJ Green makes a play. Benagals 24 Chargers 21

UPSET OF THE WEEK —

SAINTS +4.5 OVER THE SEAHAWKS — I KNOW THEY ARE IN SEATTLE, BUT THE “LEGION OF BOOM” MIGHT HAVE PICKED THE WRONG WEEK TO GET BUSTED BY THE NFL FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS OR WEED OR WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING. 2 KEY DEFENSIVE BACKS ARE OUT FOR THE SEAHAWKS — BAD WEEK TO BE SHORT IN THE SECONDARY WITH DREW BREES COMING TO TOWN — THIS GAME IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO DECIDE HOMEFIELD IN THE NFC…SHOULD BE A GREAT GAME TO WATCH — SAINTS 31 SEAHWKS 28

That is all this week Big Bluers… Again, a Happy and healthy holiday to and your family. Enjoy the games…the left over turkey and as always Bleed Big Blue!!
