Last year, WR Malik Nabers and RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. became just the third rookie duo in NFL history to each have 1,000 yards from scrimmage. They will do it again in 2025, with Tracy reaching 1,000 yards on the ground alone.
John Schmeelk: Fiction - You will not find a bigger Tyrone Tracy fan than me. I think he has all the prerequisites to be a good starting running back that can rush for 1,000 yards a season. The problem, however, is the Giants' running back room. It is crowded. I expect Devin Singletary to get a fair share of carries. Once Cam Skattebo gets acclimated to the NFL, I think he will get snaps every week, too. I'm just not sure Tracy will get the volume necessary to get to 1,000 rushing yards, although I do think that both he and Nabers will reach 1,000 scrimmage yards.
Matt Citak: Fact – I do believe backfield touches will be somewhat split between Tracy, rookie Cam Skattebo, and veteran Devin Singletary, but the second-year back has the advantage following his strong campaign last year. Tracy reached 839 yards on the ground despite starting just 12 games and getting only 12 carries through the first four weeks of the season. Not only that, but he found success running the ball despite the team's inconsistent quarterback play. Now with an improved QB room, not to mention a hopefully healthy offensive line, Tracy has a good chance of reaching 1,000+ rushing yards. As for Nabers, well that one is easy. More on him in a second.
WR Malik Nabers will break his own franchise reception record of 109.
John Schmeelk: Fact - I initially chose fiction here, but halfway through my answer I wasn't buying any of my reasoning for why he would finish with under 109 catches. Nabers missed two games last season, so if he plays in all 17 in 2025, the chance he surpasses 109 catches becomes far more likely. Brian Daboll liked to feed his playmakers the football, and I do expect a lot of quick game around the line of scrimmage that will inflate his raw catch numbers. I think the Giants will lean on the run game and play action, but that shouldn't deflate Nabers' numbers much at all.
Matt Citak: Fact – Predicting 110+ receptions for any wide receiver seems a little crazy. But considering the fact that Nabers brought down 109 receptions as a rookie, in 15 games, and without the greatest level of play from the quarterback position, 110 seems reasonable with Russell Wilson under center. The Giants should be able to sustain longer drives with better QB play, which should give the young receiver more opportunities to catch passes. If he can stay healthy, 110 receptions is an attainable goal for Nabers in Year 2.
