Overview
- The Commanders’ 29-21 win in New Jersey left the Giants at 2-12 and, with a lower strength of schedule (.537), still ahead of the 2-12 Raiders (.552) and 2-11 Titans (.572) for No. 1.
- Week 16 carries major draft-order stakes, with Jets–Saints highlighted, plus Vikings–Giants, Raiders–Texans, and Chiefs–Titans on the slate.
- Updated prospect boards feature Miami edge Rueben Bain Jr., Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, and Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese among early favorites in a class light on clear-cut quarterbacks.
- New mock scenarios speculate the Giants could trade down, including a FanSided projection of the Jets moving up for QB Fernando Mendoza.
- FanSided also reports the Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15 and noted a late injury to Patrick Mahomes, developments that could nudge Kansas City toward a higher selection.
