2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Giants were active this offseason, adding to the defense in both the trenches and secondary. However, they largely left their linebacker corps alone due to the strong combination of McFadden and Bobby Okereke. McFadden has seen his defensive role progressively increase in each of his three pro seasons, which has been earned primarily due to his role as a run stuffer. A neck injury robbed him of the final two games in 2024 and is likely the major reason he's being overlooked as an IDP option as we enter 2025. Nevertheless, he enters training camp fully healthy after participating in offseason practices, and he also showcased some improved ability to get after the quarterback in 2024 - another reason to believe another step forward is on the way in 2025.

Signed a four-year, $4.02 million contract with the Giants in May of 2022.
X-rays come back negative
McFadden suffered a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Commanders, but it appears he did not suffer any structural damage, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
McFadden appeared to suffer a severe leg injury, as he had to be carted off the field, but early X-rays have come back negative. That's good news for the Giants and the 2022 fifth-rounder, but he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and whether he has a chance to play against the Cowboys in Week 2.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
McFadden built upon a strong finish to his rookie campaign to nail down a starting role in his second season, and he finished third on New York with 101 tackles, which included a team-high-tying 12 tackles for loss. The 2022 fifth-round draft pick has two years remaining on his rookie deal, and New York figures to reap the benefits of McFadden's very affordable contract as they pair him with Bobby Okereke to field a formidable linebacker duo.

ANALYSIS
The 2022 fifth-round pick has emerged as a solid starter in the middle of the Giants defense, topping 100 tackles in each of the last two seasons.
