2025 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips secured a significant role as a rookie last season, starting six of the 14 games in which he played and logging at least two-thirds of the defensive snaps on 11 occasions. The Kentucky product finished with 71 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception while mostly manning the slot. Phillips didn't get much fanfare, but his 78.5 overall PFF grade ranked 13th among CBs, so he earned himself a key role in the Giants secondary entering his sophomore campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $6 million contract with the Giants in May of 2024.
Dinged-up in preseason opener
Phillips (undisclosed) picked up an injury in Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo and played only three defensive snaps, logging one tackle, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips started the game and brought down Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid after a 10-yard reception on the first drive of the contest. That was the final play Phillips was in for, as Nic Jones replaced him on Buffalo's next offensive series. Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't indicate the nature or severity of Phillips' injury when discussing the issue, so at this point it's hard to ascertain if he's in danger of sitting out the team's next preseason matchup, which is against the Jets next Saturday. If healthy, Phillips is slated to be the Giants' starting slot cornerback this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing significant interest
Phillips' list of "30" visits includes the Bears, Texans and 49ers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Kentucky cornerback wrapped up visits with those teams last week, and he's also checked in with the Steelers, Cardinals, Giants, Eagles, Lions and Bills. Given the picks held by those teams, Phillips might sneak into the end of the first round in the 2024 NFL Draft, but if not he seems likely to hear his name called early on Day 2.
