Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

Gray remains a deep-roster afterthought, and the underlying numbers explain why the Giants keep him glued to the bench. Across his last meaningful action he played just 9.5% of snaps, turned 14 carries into 31 yards (2.21 per tote) with a longest gain of six, and posted a brutal -0.49 EPA per play. He broke zero tackles, generated no runs of even 10-plus yards, and managed only one yard after contact per attempt. The receiving profile is thin too: 10 grabs for 82 yards, a 2% target share, and no touchdowns of any kind.

There's nothing in the data suggesting a breakout is coming. He carries no real draft value, sits deep in dynasty pecking orders, and offers production only if injuries vault him into a role he hasn't earned. Until he commands consistent offensive snaps, treat him as a watch-list name rather than a draftable asset.
