2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March of 2026.
Staying in New York
McFadden (foot) signed a one-year deal to return to the Giants on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old from Indiana missed the Giants' final 16 games in 2025 due to a foot injury that required surgery, though his new deal to remain in New York suggests he's moved past the issue. McFadden has been one of the Giants' most reliable tacklers since entering the league in 2022, recording 267 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and five passes defensed during his first three regular seasons. Now fully healthy, he's expected to remain an integral part of New York's linebacker unit ahead of next season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
McFadden built upon a strong finish to his rookie campaign to nail down a starting role in his second season, and he finished third on New York with 101 tackles, which included a team-high-tying 12 tackles for loss. The 2022 fifth-round draft pick has two years remaining on his rookie deal, and New York figures to reap the benefits of McFadden's very affordable contract as they pair him with Bobby Okereke to field a formidable linebacker duo.
