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
2025
2024
2023
The Giants were active this offseason, adding to the defense in both the trenches and secondary. However, they largely left their linebacker corps alone due to the strong combination of McFadden and Bobby Okereke. McFadden has seen his defensive role progressively increase in each of his three pro seasons, which has been earned primarily due to his role as a run stuffer. A neck injury robbed him of the final two games in 2024 and is likely the major reason he's being overlooked as an IDP option as we enter 2025. Nevertheless, he enters training camp fully healthy after participating in offseason practices, and he also showcased some improved ability to get after the quarterback in 2024 - another reason to believe another step forward is on the way in 2025.
