WanDale has become a favorite receiver for Daniel Jones and the Giants. With Nabers being the receiver opposing teams focusing on mainly WanDale getting a lot of looks. So for you guys that like player prop bets check out WanDale's catches and yardage props each week. Hit a nice Parlay with WanDale and Nabers last night.

Wandale is the clear go to target on 3rd down for Daniel Jones. He must have had 6 receptions on third down alone last night.
 
They play WanDale a lot like Wes Welker.

Lineup in slot and a nightmare cover over middle , those short out routes, motion before snap…full head of steam

If Gians had any semblance of running attack and Daniel Jones appeared improved but underthrows every deep route (he looks like he has no arm strength) they’d have been ahead and more likely to win

Man the underthrow that got picked last night on the free play was pretty terrible. Obviously because it was a free play it came back but good grief man. It's a free play, chuck it out there and give your guy a chance to go get it.

Yeah it seems Jones lacks some arm strength. Surprising he's been in the league for 6 years. Is there a shortage of QBs with good arms?
 
Wandale may have covered up a ton of Coen, Levis, offensive problems the year he was here. He was/is a stud. At the college level, he was nearly unguardable, made a lot of YAC, sure-handed, etc. Always helps an OC/QB/offense when one guy is just about a sure thing to pick up yards. When I was in JrHS at Morton, Dirk Minnifield (future UK and NBA player) was a 9th grader. Our plan was 'if the play doesn't work, give it to Dirk'. In retrospect, the passing game when WR was on the team was pretty much that. Take a look at the primary option (if, for some reason it wasn't WR anyway), then throw to Wandale or tuck and run. Worked really well because Wandale was so damn good.
 
Need to be able to stretch the field a bit. MOST of his catches are in the 5-8 yard range. Underneath guy to open up Malik. Even before Nabors got there, a lot of his catches are around the line of scrimmage. Let him run some deeper routes a few times per game. He has speed and is slippery in the open field. Surprised the jet sweep to him is not a play in the game plan. Especially with the Giants struggling to run the ball.

The problem with Jones (and many other QBs) "underthrowing" deep balls is waiting until he sees the deep route come open and then throwing the ball. He needs to anticipate the route coming open and throw the ball to the same distance he would've if he waited another second. Doesn't matter what arm strength you have if you don't step into the throw and can't hit the receiver in stride with the right trajectory.

Jones hasn't impressed me as a QB. Watching them play while at a restaurant Sunday, he just had trouble putting the ball in a great spot for the receiver and wasn't stepping into his throws. After 6 years, I don't know if he has any upside potential left

They could take our jet sweep play and keep if, for all I care.

Since WR in the slot does seem like a mismatch a team would want to exploit, I am also confused as to why they have him run so many short routes instead of getting him the ball in space in stride and let him wiggle his way to bigger yardage.
 
There was an opportunity for a HUGE gain last night and he may have scored. He's 2nd in the league in receptions with 26 behind Nabers 35. Crazy stat considering how bad Daniel Jones is.

This is a very good possibilty. It always seemed like Levis was so locked on to Wandale he barely looked anywhere else. Probably a good reason for that. He and Levis together won us that Citrus Bowl at the end with that final drive.
 
Jones is complete garbage. What a stupid move to extend him.

Dont forget crod shrugging off their star de after levis inexplicably didn't keep on that read. That broken tackle was amazing considering the defender and the ease he ran through it
