2024 Fantasy Outlook

Gray landed with the Giants as a 2023 fifth-round pick after exploding for 1,366 rushing yards and 11 TDs at Oklahoma in 2022. His college career was otherwise unremarkable, and a 4.62 40 at the Oklahoma pro day was especially disappointing for a RB with just average size for the position (5-10, 210). Gray was third or fourth on the Giants' depth chart for most of his rookie year, playing only 65 snaps on offense, but he should nonetheless have a chance to compete for the No. 2 RB this summer after the team opted against re-signing Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida. The Giants brought in Devin Singletary to be their starter, leaving Gray to compete with rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy and a bunch of undrafted players for backup roles. Read Past Outlooks

January 14, 2025

Gray rushed 14 times for 31 yards and caught 10 of 11 targets for 82 yards in 17 regular-season games during the 2024 campaign. He also tallied 554 kick-return yards on 21 opportunities while losing two fumbles.

ANALYSIS
Gray played in all 17 games and logged 41 more defensive snaps in 2024 compared to his rookie 2023 campaign, but he got three fewer carries and tallied 17 fewer rushing yards. His 2.2 YPC gave New York little reason to use him as a ball carrier, though Gray did improve mildly on his numbers as a pass catcher. The Oklahoma product's biggest role was as a kick returner, but his ball-security issues led the Giants to turn to Ihmir Smith-Marsette as their lead kick returner late in the campaign. Gray will be in the third year of his rookie contract in 2025, and given his lack of production thus far along with Tyrone Tracy's emergence as the team's lead back, there does seem to be much room for Gray to ascend on New York's depth chart.

2023 Fantasy Outlook

Although Gray is probably too small and slow to project as a long-term starter (4.62 pro day 40 at 5-10, 205), he demonstrated skill as a runner and even more as a receiver at Oklahoma and Tennessee, which projects him as a good off-the-bench running back and a potential starter in a pinch in the NFL. His lack of speed is probably why Gray was only occasionally explosive as a runner (5.1 YPC through his first three years), but as a pass catcher he was a clear standout (99 receptions for 827 yards and five touchdowns on 127 career targets). While he probably lacks the athletic tools to propel an offense, Gray's skill set is solid enough that he won't drag an offense down, either. That's all the Giants really need out of Gray as a 2023 fifth-round pick, and he's a strong candidate to take incumbent Matt Breida's role as the backup to Saquon Barkley.
