Giants stock report: Whose is up, down after preseason win over Miami?

The New York Giants left Hard Rock Stadium with a 26-3 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins, using the game to evaluate depth and younger players while several starters sat. The decisive score highlighted New York’s control, but the biggest value for roster building came from how fringe contributors handled live snaps. Deonte Banks posted a strong performance, dominating coverage and also delivering tackles, a notable improvement in an area he had previously struggled with. Brandon Allen, despite a 13-of-18, 101-yard line, checked down repeatedly and averaged only 5.6 yards per attempt, contradicting coaching goals. J.C. Davis took every offensive snap at left tackle and allowed just one pressure with zero sacks.
