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
Won't play Sunday
Schmitz (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Schmitz has yet to return to practice since aggravating his ankle injury in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Expect Greg Van Roten to serve as the Giants' starting center again in Week 18.
