Add a league for Mock Drafting, Draft War Room & In-season sync
The Giants have agreed to a three-year deal with S Jevon Holland. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it'll pay $45.3 million, with $30.3 million guaranteed and a max value of $46.8 million. Holland is one of six defensive players the Giants have imported this week.
Holland might prove to be the most fantasy-relevant defensive addition. He scored as a top-24 DB in 2022 and 2023 before a precipitous drop in production last season.
Holland dealt with multiple injuries while watching his numbers drop across categories. This contract -- ahead of his age-25 season -- says the Giants aren't worried about the on-field performance.
At full health, Holland presents cross-category upside. He'll be a solid target if he gets to low-DB2 or DB3 range of fantasy football drafts.
The Giants actually spent more to hook former Saints CB Paulson Adebo: $54 million over three years, with $36 million of that guaranteed.
Adebo delivered stronger scoring averages than Holland each of the past two years. His fantasy production has relied pretty heavily on big plays in coverage, though, including 7 INTs over just 22 games in that span.
The performance has been intriguing, but beware of the volatility in such coverage stats.
The Giants also landed former Cowboys Edge Chauncey Golston on the first day of free agency with a three-year, $19.5 million pact.
Golston's coming off career highs in just about every category, including a playing-time rate that more than doubled.
He spent four years in Dallas after arriving as a third-round pick and topped out at 5.5 sacks last season. That actually matches his career high from college, though Golston's 5.5 in his final season at Iowa came in just eight games.
Golston looks like more of a waiver-wire watch for IDP leagues than a guy to target in drafts.
Adding Holland and Adebo should help the defense. How much? We'll see.
We'll also see about the exact fit for Golston in an edge group that returns Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. There's enough talent up front for this to become a solid-to-good pass-rushing unit.
The Giants showed some defensive flashes last year but struggled to maintain good play.
