NFL power rankings round-up 2024: How do Giants fare entering Week 4?

The New York Giants picked up their first win of the season with an impressive performance against the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday. But now they face an immediate turnaround with the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4.

For now, the heat has been turned down. Head coach Brian Daboll and quarterback Daniel Jones can breathe a little easier but that will only last so long if they slide backwards.

As we enter Week 4, here’s a look at where the Giants place in a multitude of power rankings.

NFL Nation, ESPN:

The Giants have five turnovers in three games, and running back Devin Singletary had costly fumbles in each of the past two games. New York was also fortunate a roughing the passer penalty negated a would-be interception by QB Daniel Jones early against Cleveland in Week 3. For this group to get to the next level, New York needs to do a better job at protecting the football. Singletary, in particular, has to get the fumbling under control. Only one running back (Dalvin Cook) has more fumbles than the 13 Singletary has since entering the league in 2019.

Anthony DiBona, Pro Football Network:

The Giants picked up a much-needed win against the Browns but they still have a long way to go. Regardless, New York fans can feel great about rookie receiver Malk Nabers, who starred against Cleveland and has shown strong early chemistry with Daniel Jones.
