Giants releasing Evan Neal after failed stint

Giants releasing Evan Neal

The New York Giants are releasing offensive lineman Evan Neal (OL, formerly NYG), the former No. 7 overall pick, according to Adam Schefter, who credited Art Stapleton with the original report.

Neal was a blocker, so he carries no direct fantasy value. What matters here is the ripple effect on the Giants offensive line. A thinner, reshuffled line can affect the pocket time and run-blocking lanes that support the Giants skill-position players on your roster.

What to watch on the Giants depth chart

If you own any Giants running backs or pass catchers, keep an eye on how the team fills Neal's spot. An upgraded or downgraded replacement at his position will shape the workload and efficiency of those players going forward.
