2024 Fantasy Outlook
After the Giants took him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Schmitz served as a starter in all 13 games in which he played as a rookie, though he also missed four contests due to injuries. He's slated to start at center for New York again in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
All clear for Week 15
Schmitz (neck) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Schmitz left last Sunday's matchup against New Orleans with a neck injury and was limited in all three practices this week. However, he appears to have the green light to play against Baltimore on Sunday. That will likely result in Jake Kubas returning to a rotational role.
