2025 Fantasy Outlook
Banks led the Giants with 12 pass defenses last year despite missing three games due to a rib injury. He's proven capable of getting between the ball and receiver with 23 pass defenses through two NFL campaigns, though he's notched just two interceptions. Banks has started all 29 regular-season games in which he's played, and he could continue in that role alongside offseason acquisition Paulson Adebo in 2025, though he'll face competition from Cor'Dale Flott during training camp.

In battle for starting role
CBNew York Giants
July 29, 2025
Banks and Cor'Dale Flott are in a training-camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Banks (14 starts) and Flott (10 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) and Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Banks and Flott have been alternating turns in the rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Banks enjoyed a decent rookie campaign after being taken 24th overall by the Giants in the 2023 NFL Draft, working as a starter throughout the season and finishing with 64 tackles (53 solo) and 11 passes defensed, including two interceptions, before missing the final two weeks with a shoulder injury. He's in line to reprise a starting role at cornerback in his second NFL campaign and will look to take a leap forward under new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.
The Giants liked Banks enough to trade up a spot to nab him in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the cornerback out of Maryland should take on an immediate starting role for New York. Banks is an exceptional athlete who has both the size (6-2, 205) and speed (4.35 40 time) to develop into an elite NFL defender. The 22-year-old likely will line up opposite Adoree' Jackson, giving New York a second talented corner who excels in man-to-man coverage, which is a crucial component of coordinator Wink Martindale's blitz-happy defensive scheme.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Makes strides during spring work
CBNew York Giants
June 23, 2023
Banks, the Giants' rookie 24th overall pick, worked himself up to the first-team defense over the course of OTAs and minicamp this spring, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Banks opened on the second-team defense during the Giants' first OTA session open to the media, but he quickly earned a promotion with his talent and athleticism. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale has already taken note of the fact Banks possesses a very valuable intangible for a cornerback as well, namely, a short memory for unfavorable plays.
