2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $6.76 million contract with the Giants in May of 2025.
Records 3.5 sacks in rookie season
Alexander totaled 20 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and a defensed pass over 16 games (two starts) during the 2025 campaign.
ANALYSIS
After being selected by New York in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Alexander was a healthy scratch Week 1. However, he played in every contest the rest of the way and maintained a fairly steady rotational role. Alexander didn't get into the sacks column until he logged a half-sack in Week 8, but he concluded the campaign with 3.0 sacks over his final six contests. Alexander's strong finish could earn him consideration for a starting role next year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team plans for expanded role
Alexander, who played well as a rookie third-round pick in 2025, is projected for an expanded role this coming season despite the Giants' slew of free-agent signings along the defensive line, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Toledo product appeared in 16 regular-season games as a rookie in a rotational role, delivering 20 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and one defensed pass across 393 defensive snaps. That's led to bigger expectations for Year 2, and Raanan reports the goal remains the same despite the Giants adding DJ Reader, Shelby Rankins and Leki Fotu to the interior of the defensive line this offseason.
