Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Daniel Jones' fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Jones was awful by just about any counting statistic you want to look at last season, although he does deserve credit for improving across the board in most efficiency measures. This didn't matter in fantasy land, obviously. The two best parts of Jones' game were his work from a clean pocket as well as when he threw downfield. Credit to the Giants for adding some legit receiving weapons to the offense, but it sure doesn't look like this offensive line, and more importantly offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, have what it takes to help elevate Jones to newfound heights and cash in on his strengths. Ian closes out the episode with Jones' fantasy ranking and his thoughts on the waffle house fantasy challenge.

| 0:42.6 | They had a minus 77 point different minus 77 point differential fourth lowest mark in the |
| 0:48.2 | NFC. |
| 0:49.2 | All but one of their six wins came by five or fewer points. |
| 0:52.5 | There is never a moment in 2020 where the Giants looked anything like a contender and a |
| 0:57.6 | lot of that doesn't need to be placed on the shoulders of Daniel Jones. |
| 1:01.4 | And I'm not trying to say that Daniel Jones was the sole root of the problem. |
| 1:05.6 | The soft offensive line was a disaster. |
| 1:07.2 | We'll get to that more in a second. |
| 1:08.9 | Didn't have the best weapons in the world. |
| 1:11.4 | Defense. |
| 1:12.4 | Wow. |
| 1:13.4 | I think it overperformed particularly as the season went on. |
