Dante Miller burst onto the radar as the Giants’ most noteworthy Week 1 preseason contributor, flashing elite straight-line speed and reliable hands on backfield screens. His seven-for-seven receiving yardage and 18/16/13-yard catches highlight a clear skill set for a role behind Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. If Cam Scataboo’s hamstring lingers, Miller’s path to a regular-season spot grows more plausible, especially if he earns a special-teams ticket that distinguishes him from the other backs.

Giants vs Jets joint practices loom as a litmus test for how the back seven and the front seven will function in real-game tempo. On defense, cornerbacks Deontay Banks and Cordell Flott figure into a tricky deployment debate, with Paulson Adebo and other shadow corners in the mix. Offensively, the club must avoid over-reliance on field goals; Graham Gano delivered, but red-zone touchdowns will define fantasy ceilings. A potential Singletary trade adds another layer of roster calculus, creating cap flexibility and possible late-season draft capital in return.

In all, the tone is cautiously optimistic but laser-focused on depth charts, travel patterns, and how the Week 1 showing translates to Week 1 of the regular season. The Giants now face a crucial stretch of evaluations that could tilt the backfield and secondary in meaningful ways for fantasy managers and bettors alike.
