2025 Fantasy Outlook
Neal is shifting to guard in 2025 after spending his first three NFL campaigns as an offensive tackle. If he shows a penchant for his new position during training camp and preseason, he could leap over Greg Van Roten for a starting role. Read Past Outlooks

Neal (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Neal has been unavailable for the Giants' last four games due to a hamstring injury, but it now looks like he could suit up for game action again as soon as Sunday. He'll still need to be officially activated from the injured reserve list before that's a possibility, though.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Neal struggled as a rookie after being taken seventh overall by the Giants in the 2022 Draft. He's penciled in as the team's starting right tackle and will have every opportunity to show improvement this season, but how he performs could go a long way toward determining his long-term NFL outlook.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Has drawn trade interest
OGNew York Giants
November 3, 2025
Neal was the subject of trade talks between the Giants and Raiders, NFL insider Josina Anderson reports.
ANALYSIS
While no deal materialized, it's somewhat surprising that there's been interest at all in the 2022 seventh overall pick, who has yet to play a game this season for New York after being converted from tackle to guard. Neal will be a free agent in the offseason, but a team like the Raiders might be willing to give him some playing time and potentially get a jump on signing him if a fresh start can reawaken some of the talent he showed in college at Alabama.
