New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins (ankle) was added to the team's injury report ahead of a Wild-Card playoff matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Hodgins picked up an ankle injury but does not currently have a game status heading into Sunday and is expected to suit up. The 24-year-old has been very productive during his time in New York, tallying 33 receptions for 351 yards and four touchdowns in eight games with the Giants. He figures to play an important role in his postseason debut against a Vikings defense that surrendered the second-most passing yards in the league this season.

New York Giants offensive tackle Evan Neal (ankle) suffered what is considered to be a minor ankle injury in practice on Thursday, according to source. However, it should not affect his availability to play in the wild-card game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Neal was listed as limited in Thursday's session after getting hurt. It's good news for the Giants that the 22-year-old will be able to play because he has turned into a solid starting right tackle for them this season. Still, his ankle injury could affect him this weekend, so it will be something to watch on the right side of New York's offensive line.

The New York Giants signed former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington to their practice squad on Wednesday. Washington was expected to have a significant role in Dallas' passing game to begin the year, but he fractured his right foot in training camp and didn't make his season debut until Week 14 and ended up playing in two games for the Cowboys, finishing without a catch on one target. Dallas picked up veteran T.Y. Hilton late in the year and didn't really have a need for Washington at that point. New York's receiver depth is lacking, but even if the 26-year-old Washington is brought up to the active roster for the postseason, he's highly unlikely to see much action on the field.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is a healthy scratch for Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expect Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell to handle rushing duties on Sunday. The Giants have secured a playoff berth, so they'll rest several key starters this week. In addition to Barkley, New York made Andrew Thomas, Dexter Lawrence, Leonard Williams (neck), Julian Love, Azeez Ojulari (ankle), and Adoree' Jackson (knee) all inactive on Sunday. Meanwhile, quarterback Daniel Jones is active but not expected to play.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The New York Giants are reportedly interested in extending both quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley this offseason. The team views these players as pieces to their long term future and are likely to offer them multi-year deals. Coming into the season, the Giants seemed uncertain about Jones, but he has proved himself on the field. The 25-year-old has been a major factor to the success of this offense. It's less shocking that the Giants want to bring back Barkley. The 25-year-old is usually a stud when healthy, but has battled through injuries throughout his career. There is certainly risk with signing him to a long-term deal. However, the Giants appear to have interest in bringing back both players in 2023.

The New York Giants designated safety Xavier McKinney (hand) to return from the Non-Football Injury list on Thursday. McKinney's 21-day practice window is now open, and he's back at practice on Thursday with a giant cast/splint on his injured left hand. The 23-year-old is not expected to make his return in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend, but he could be back in Week 18 or if the Giants make the playoffs. He hasn't played since Week 8, so the Giants will likely ease him back into the secondary when they feel that he's ready for game action. Before his injury, McKinney had 38 tackles (25 solo), one sack, four passes defensed and a forced fumble in eight starts.

New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (head) was removed from the injury report. The wideout was in concussion protocol and riding a questionable tag heading into Sunday's game in Washington. However, he practiced in full on Friday and now has the green light to suit up for the NFC East meeting. James has been on a roll, catching a touchdown in three of his last four games, so he deserves flex consideration against a challenging Commanders defense in Week 15.
Friday, December 16
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He is in the league's concussion protocol and was sidelined for Wednesday's practice. The 27-year-old made progress and will have one more chance to clear protocols ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders. James caught seven of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Isaiah Hodgins would see an uptick in targets and is on the flex radar if James cannot suit up against Washington.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has now logged back-to-back limited sessions. According to Giants head coach Brian Daboll, Bellinger was "pretty sore" on Monday after getting injured in the Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old will have one more chance to log a full practice to increase his chances of suiting up against the Commanders. Bellinger caught three passes for 19 yards before exiting last Sunday's loss against the Eagles. If active, Bellinger is a borderline TE2 against in a tough matchup versus Washington's defense that ranks third in DVOA against opposing tight ends.
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (concussion protocol) and tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) are officially questionable to face the Washington Commanders in Week 15. Players have often missed at least one week after entering the concussion protocol, but head injuries are always tough to speculate on. That said, the game is on Sunday Night Football, so fantasy managers will have to decide whether or not James is worth the risk of missing out on streamers who play in the early or afternoon window. Bellinger remains off the fantasy radar, but his absence could set up more targets for Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and James (if active).

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Richie James (head) is in the league's concussion protocol. James was unable to practice on Wednesday after injuring his head in the Week 14 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He'll still have a chance to play on Sunday night against the Washington Commanders if he's able to progress through the protocol, but he's looking iffy for that game. James has been a popular waiver-wire pickup in recent weeks while scoring three times in the last four games. He had a season-high seven catches on nine targets for 61 yards and his third touchdown of the year last week. If James is unable to play Sunday, Kenny Golladay could see more snaps behind Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins.
New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. According to Giants head coach Brian Daboll, Bellinger was "pretty sore" on Monday after getting injured in the Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants rookie will have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Bellinger is a low-end TE2 in a tough matchup against Washington, ranking third in DVOA against opposing tights this season.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) announced on his personal Twitter account that he underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair the torn ACL in his right knee. He will miss the remainder of his rookie season after suffering a torn ACL in the loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11. The 21-year-old caught 23 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown over six games in 2022. Robinson will rehab and look to recover ahead of the 2023 season fully healthy. Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Richie James Jr., and Kenny Golladay lead the Giants' wide receiver depth chart with Robinson sidelined.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that running back Saquon Barkley (neck) will not have any restrictions placed on him in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Barkley was a game-time decision going into last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he ultimately played and didn't suffer any setbacks. The 25-year-old star RB played a season-low 31 percent of the offensive snaps, but that wasn't due to the injury, rather because the Giants were getting blown out. With a full workload upcoming this Sunday night, Barkley should be able to bounce back as a true RB1 for fantasy managers. He currently ranks as the RB7 in half-point PPR scoring through 14 weeks.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) was a full-go in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Barkley was a game-time decision in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he ultimately played and didn't have any in-game setbacks, so he should be fine to suit up on Sunday night against the Washington Commanders in Week 15. The 25-year-old had a rough day for his fantasy managers in negative game script on Sunday, carrying only nine times for 28 yards while catching both his targets for 20 yards in a blowout loss. Barkley should bounce back as a must-start RB1 this weekend. He had 18 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown while adding five receptions for 18 yards against Washington just two weeks ago in Week 13.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) was "pretty sore" on Monday after getting injured in the Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It sounds like there is some concern about whether Bellinger will be able to play in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders. The 22-year-old injured his ribs in the second quarter on Sunday and continued to play, but he was pulled in the fourth quarter in the blowout loss. Fantasy managers will need to keep close tabs on his practice status for the week after he caught all three of his targets for 19 yards against Philly. Bellinger has become an interesting TE2 streamer in a Giants offense lacking legitimate receiving threats. If he cannot play in Week 15, Nick Vannett should be the team's starter at tight end.
Monday, December 12
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James is in concussion protocol after taking a big hit against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. James has entered the fantasy radar after catching three touchdowns on 21 targets over the last four weeks, so his status will be important for fantasy managers in deep leagues. Most players have missed at least one game after entering protocol, but it's too early to know if he can play against the Washington Commander in Week 15.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) will suit up for the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This is great news after the star running back was considered a 50/50 shot due to a neck injury. Head coach Brian Daboll has confirmed Barkley will play and it doesn't sound like he'll be limited. This is an outstanding spot for Barkley against the shaky Eagles run defense. Fantasy managers should consider Barkley an elite RB1 for this Week 14 matchup.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) is officially questionable to return against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. He hauled in three passes for 19 yards before exiting. Until Bellinger can return, Nick Vannett and Chris Myarick will operate as the Giants' top tight ends.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) has returned against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. He hauled in three passes for 19 yards before initially exiting and will now have a chance to contribute to the Giants' fourth-quarter comeback efforts.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (ribs) will not return against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. He hauled in three passes for 19 yards before exiting, and although he did briefly return, he has now been ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Nick Vannett and Chris Myarick will operate as the Giants' top tight ends for the time being.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) had a "50-50" chance of playing in the Week 14 loss to Philadelphia. While the former Nittany Lion struggled, totaling 48 scrimmage yards, he was out there despite serious concerns regarding his availability heading into Sunday's game. Fortunately, Barkley indirectly provided reassurance to fantasy managers, stating that although he suffered a "stinger" in practice on Wednesday, he has "no doubt" he'll be ready for the rematch with the Commanders in Week 15. Hopefully, with some more time to rest, he'll be 100% against a tough Washington defense.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (knee) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's divisional clash with Philadelphia. The wideout has battled a knee ailment of late, although he's played through it, amassing 11 catches and two touchdowns in the last three games. As a result, James has flex appeal in deeper formats, but remains a risky option against a capable Eagles defense.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) is "legitimately 50-50" to play in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley did do drills in practice on Saturday, was first in line for running back drills and looked to be moving around OK. Most people expect him to play on Sunday, but he truly is a game-time decision this weekend. The good news is fantasy managers will know if the 25-year-old is active early on Sunday morning. If Barkley is playing, he'll be at risk of being spelled more often by Matt Breida, but he's absolutely a must-start in starting fantasy lineups. If the Giants hold him out, Breida should see the majority of backfield work, with Gary Brightwell serving as his backup.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that it's possible running back Saquon Barkley's (neck) status is in doubt for Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Daboll hopes Barkley will play, but his neck is sore and he was limited in practice on Thursday. Mid-week additions to the injury report are usually never good, so fantasy managers really need to have a backup plan in place in case the 25-year-old star RB is limited or out this weekend. Barkley has been the RB6 in half-point PPR scoring in 2022, so losing him for the week would be a big blow for fantasy squads relying on him to get them into the fantasy playoffs. If Barkley is unable to play, Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell figure to split the backfield work against the Eagles.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) is officially questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. Barkley has proven to be durable this season after two years of injury issues, but he's back on the injury report in 2022. Barkley logged limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so he does have a chance to suit up. However, neck injuries are obviously serious, so it could go either way for Sunday. The Eagles are just a neutral matchup for fantasy running backs and Barkley remains a must-start if he's active.
Thursday, December 08
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (neck) was limited during Thursday's practice. This is a bit of a surprise to see Barkley pop up on the injury report with a neck injury. It doesn't sound like this is something that is going to stop Barkley from playing against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. The hope is that this neck issue won't impact his performance on the field. If healthy, Barkley is a strong RB1 heading into this Week 14 matchup with Philly. Fantasy managers will have to check back after Friday's practice for another update on Barkley.
Sunday, December 04
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. He has produced solid fantasy results as of late, amassing eight catches, 89 yards, and two touchdowns for a total of 28.9 fantasy points over the course of his last two games. With Darius Slayton (illness) and Kenny Golladay (illness) also questionable, James could rise up the depth chart when inactives are released on Sunday. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Giants' injury report when deciding whether or not James can be a serviceable FLEX option in deeper leagues.
New York Giants wide receivers Darius Slayton (illness) and Kenny Golladay (illness) are expected to be active for Week 13 against the Washington Commanders, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Both players had been listed as questionable. Slayton has emerged as the Giants' most reliable receiver, catching 26 passes for 465 yards and two touchdowns over the course of his last seven games. He ranks as a mid-to-low WR3 this week. Meanwhile, Golladay has remained incredibly disappointing, catching just four catches and 51 yards through seven games this season. He is not on the fantasy radar.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (illness) won't play during the Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 29-year-old is dealing with an illness and woke up feeling worse than he did yesterday. That being said, the Giants will have Golladay sit this one out. Darius Slayton (illness) is questionable for this game, but would likely see an uptick in targets, assuming he plays. Fellow wideout Richie James (knee) is also questionable for this game, but would be a flex play if he plays on Sunday.
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) is active for the upcoming Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. This is good news for the Giants with Kenny Golladay (illness) sitting out this game. That being said, Slayton should see an uptick in targets with Golladay on the sideline. He should be a fine WR3 considering he has been the Giants most reliable wideout. Fantasy managers in need of production at wideout should see if Slayton is available on the waiver wire before kickoff.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (illness) and tight end Lawrence Cager (coach's decision) are inactive for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Golladay had been listed as questionable while Cager is a healthy scratch. The latter has appeared in seven games this season, catching four passes for 51 yards. Meanwhile, Cager's absence coincides with the return of Daniel Bellinger (eye).
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) and wide receiver Richie James (knee) are officially active for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Bellinger, a rookie, returns after missing four games. He had been emerging in the Giants' offense, catching 15 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns from Weeks 2 to 6. He's a solid fantasy streamer in Week 13. Meanwhile, James will rise up the depth chart with Kenny Golladay (illness) inactive. He offers deep-league FLEX appeal after totaling eight catches, 89 yards, and two touchdowns over his last two games.
Saturday, December 03
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) was absent from Friday's practice, while Richie James (knee) was listed as a limited participant. Both wideouts are officially questionable for a Week 13 divisional matchup with the Washington Commanders. Slayton has missed two consecutive practices with an illness, but the team is hopeful that he will be able to suit up on Sunday. Both players have been fantasy-relevant in recent weeks and can be considered as flex options in deeper leagues if active. If either is forced to miss, additional targets could go to Isaiah Hodgins, Kenny Golladay, and Marcus Johnson.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (illness) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is now questionable to play in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. The Giants could be short-handed at receiver on Sunday, as Darius Slayton (illness) and Richie James (knee) are also up in the air to play. The 29-year-old Golladay is nowhere near fantasy relevance this year, catching only four of 10 targets for 51 yards in seven games. Depending on which receivers can actually play for the Giants this weekend, Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson and David Sills could see expanded roles in the passing attack against the Commanders.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) is considered questionable for the Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 22-year-old has been limited during practice this week due to an eye issue. Bellinger is hopeful to get back on the field for the first time since Week 7. Through seven games, he has 16 receptions, 152 yards and two touchdowns this season. He'll be a desperation deep league streaming option if he plays on Sunday.
Friday, December 02
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) was added to this week's injury report on Thursday when he missed practice due to an illness. There's still a good chance that Slayton will be able to play in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders, but it's something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on heading into Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old has turned into the Giants' top receiving threat in a run-first offense this year. In 10 games, he has caught 27 of his 44 targets for 476 yards and only two touchdowns. In half-point PPR scoring, Slayton isn't even a top-50 fantasy receiver, giving him low upside as a WR3/flex in starting fantasy lineups this weekend if he's active.
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (knee) and rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Thursday. The Giants didn't actually practice on Thursday, so the designations were estimations. James picked up a DNP on Wednesday, so he's making progress and should be able to play in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. James has scored in each of the last two games, but he hasn't gone over five receptions or 59 yards in a single game in 2022, making him a tough-to-trust WR4/flex, even in deep leagues. Bellinger is hoping to return for the first time since fracturing his eye socket in Week 7. There is long-term upside here, but expect him to be eased back into action if he plays against Washington on Sunday.
Thursday, December 01
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James (knee) missed Wednesday's practice, while rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) returned to a limited session. James will be in danger of missing Week 13 against the Washington Commanders if he can't practice on Thursday or Friday. The 27-year-old has scored his first two touchdowns of the season in the last two games, but he also hasn't seen more than six targets in a game or cleared 60 receiving yards in 2022. If he's out this weekend, Isaiah Hodgins and Kenny Golladay would see more run behind No. 1 wideout Darius Slayton. Bellinger returns to practice for the first time since Week 7 after he had surgery to fix a fractured eye socket. The 22-year-old was becoming a bigger part of the passing game before his injury, but he'll be nothing more than a low-end TE2 streamer in fantasy if he returns to action against Washington.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) was not wearing a brace on his left knee at practice on Wednesday. He started wearing the brace in Week 5 after he got injured in the previous game against the Chicago Bears. It looks like Jones' knee is back to full health after a scare earlier in the year. The 25-year-old doesn't have many high-end targets to throw to in this offense, but he's gone 48-for-79 for 569 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the last two games while running the ball 10 times for 64 yards and another score. He'll be facing an improving Washington Commanders defense in Week 13, and they could be getting pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) back. In a run-first offense, Jones will continue to be a midrange QB2 for fantasy managers.
Tuesday, November 29
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
The New York Giants designated linebacker Azeez Ojulari (calf), defensive back Tony Jefferson (foot) and offensive guard Ben Bredeson (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Monday, opening their 21-day window for the team to officially activate them from IR. Ojulari has been dealing with his injury since training camp, and he played in two games earlier this season before being shut down. All three players could be activated in time to play in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders if they prove their health in practice this week. Jefferson hasn't played since Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. When Bredeson returns, he's likely to re-enter the starting lineup on the offensive line.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) has missed the past four games but could return to action in Week 13. The rookie showed some promise with 16 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns in his first seven games. Head coach Brian Daboll said he's "improving," which likely means he'll be back on the field soon. Given the current landscape of the tight position, he would immediately enter the mix as a streamer because the Giants are so void of offensive weapons, and there are very few reliable players for fantasy managers to start.
Friday, November 25
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants defensive end Leonard Williams (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The 28-year-old exited with the medical staff due to an undisclosed injury. It sounds like it could've been a cramp, so hopefully he won't miss the rest of the game. This will certainly be a blow to the Giants defense.
New York Giants defensive end Leonard Williams (knee) has returned to Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The stud pass rusher exited during the third quarter due to an undisclosed knee issue. It seems like Williams was dealing with cramps or a minor injury. He is back on the sideline with his helmet and ready to get back into action. Fantasy managers who are using the Giants defense can breathe a sigh of relief.
Wednesday, November 23
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants cornerback Adoree Jackson (knee) is expected to miss three to five weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in their game against the Lions on Sunday. The 27-year-old was returning a punt when the injury occurred, which is a big blow to the Giants defense. He has been one of their better players on that side of the ball, forcing one fumble and recovering two fumbles with 40 solo tackles and 11 assisted tackles. He also ranks 23rd at the position, according to Pro Football Focus. His absence will make it easier for opposing receivers, including CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup, who they play on against Thursday. New York will hope to get him back soon to help them compete for a playoff spot.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) won't play against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, head coach Brian Daboll told the media. The rookie will now miss a fourth consecutive game after fracturing his left eye socket in Week 7. Tanner Hudson, Chris Myarick, and Lawrence Cager will see snaps at tight end in his absence.
Monday, November 21
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is feared to have suffered a "serious" injury in Week 11, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. His injury marked a brutal end to what had otherwise been a great day for the rookie, who turned 13 targets into nine catches for 100 yards against the Lions. The turf at MetLife Stadium has long been a catalyst for lower-body injuries, and it looks like Robinson might be its latest victim. The Giants play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, meaning Robinson needs to recover very quickly in order to play in Week 12.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson will miss the remainder of his rookie season after suffering a torn ACL in the loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11. Robinson was in the middle of a breakout game, catching nine of 13 targets for 100 yards, but will not get a chance to build on that performance. In his absence, expect Darius Slayton to continue to operate as the team's No. 1 wide receiver, while Kenny Golladay and Richie James will likely see some targets from Daniel Jones. Daniel Bellinger (eye) could also return soon, so he could be in line for a larger role.
Sunday, November 20
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) are both active for Sunday's Week 11 contest. This is good news for the Giants offense as they head into a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions. The return of Golladay won't mean too much. He has two receptions through five games this season. He'll be a desperation deep league streaming option for this game. Robinson will have interesting flex appeal in this game. He has favorable upside and the Lions have trouble stopping any offense.
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. He was very involved prior to exiting, hauling in nine of 13 targets for 100 yards through the air. It was the best game of his young career, without a doubt. New York will hope that he can return in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. In the meantime, though, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton will lead the wide receiver corps.
Friday, November 18
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He returned to action after missing four games due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old is dealing with a hamstring issue and has been limited in practice this week. He will have one more chance to log a full practice to increase his chances of suiting up against his former team, the Detroit Lions, in Week 11. The veteran has two catches for 22 yards over five games in 2022. If active, Golladay is far from the fantasy radar and should be avoided against the Lions in Week 11.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) will not play in Week 11 after missing the previous two games with a scary injury. It's unclear when Bellinger will return since it's a rare injury, but his absence doesn't put any of the Giants' tight ends on the fantasy radar. This game against Detroit should set up for a massive workload for Saquon Barkley.
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) are both listed as questionable heading into a juicy matchup with the Detroit Lions. Even if Golladay plays, he's far from the fantasy radar as he's caught just two passes for 22 yards this season. However, Wan'Dale Robinson is an interesting flex option since he has gotten involved in the offense in recent weeks, and Detroit has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers through ten weeks.
Thursday, November 17
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (hamstring) were both limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Robinson has been playing more in the last three games, but he's produced just 10 receptions on 13 targets for 85 yards and no touchdowns in this low-volume passing attack. And now he's dealing with an injury, so the 21-year-old rookie is a dicey flex play, even in deeper leagues, for a Week 11 meeting with the Detroit Lions. Golladay returned in Week 10 after missing more than a month and now he's dealing with a hamstring ailment. The 29-year-old is miles from fantasy relevance with just two catches on eight targets for 22 yards in his five games played in 2022.
New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) missed another practice on Wednesday. Bellinger fractured his eye socket in Week 7 and hasn't practiced or played since, and he's trending towards missing yet another contest in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. The 22-year-old expects to play again this year, but he can be left to the waiver wire for now in most single-year leagues in this Giants low-volume passing offense. Before his injury, Bellinger caught 16 of his 18 targets for 152 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. In the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans, tight ends Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson combined for three catches and 24 yards on four targets.
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, putting his availability for Week 11 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in jeopardy. It's a downgrade for Robinson after he was limited in Wednesday's practice. Already a shaky WR4/flex in deeper leagues in New York's low-volume passing attack, Robinson is becoming an easy fade for this weekend. If he's unable to suit up, Darius Slayton, Richie James, Isaiah Hodgins and even Kenny Golladay would be in line for more playing time. Robinson has been seeing more involvement in the offense of late, but he has only 14 catches on 18 targets for 127 yards and one touchdown in his first five NFL games.

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) is expected to play and receive "significant playing time" in Week 10, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The veteran wideout had been listed as questionable heading into his matchup versus the Houston Texans. The 24-year-old hasn't been active since Week 4. Through the first four games of the year, he caught just two passes for 22 yards. However, with Sterling Shepard (knee) on IR and Kadarius Toney shipped to Kansas City, Golladay's role should increase as he returns to the field.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will be active for the Week 10 matchup against the Houston Texans. This officially confirms that Golladay will be out there for the first time since Week 4. The return of Golladay is good news for this offense with multiple offensive weapons sidelined. The expectation is that Golladay is going to be immediately involved in the passing attack. The 29-year-old has struggled since joining the Giants, but fantasy managers who are desperate for a wideout should take a look at Golladay as a streaming option.

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will officially be listed as questionable to play in Week 10 against the Houston Texans. However, The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll reports that head coach Brian Daboll is "optimistic" that Golladay will be ready to play on Sunday for the first time since Week 4. Even though Kadarius Toney is now in Kansas City, it's impossible to trust Golladay in starting fantasy lineups if he makes his way back this weekend. In four games played this year, he has just two receptions on six targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns. There will be more opportunities for the 29-year-old pass-catcher the rest of the season with Toney out of the picture, but he'll have to show us a lot more before he'll re-enter the fantasy picture.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Houston Texans. Bellinger fractured his left eye socket in Week 7 and was given a two- to six-week timetable for a return, so there's no guarantee he'll be back next weekend against the Detroit Lions. In the 22-year-old's absence, Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson will have bigger roles on offense, but they can be ignored in fantasy. Before his injury, Bellinger had 16 catches on 18 targets for 152 yards and two touchdowns in his first seven NFL games. In deeper leagues, he was drawing consideration as a TE2 streamer.

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Golladay has not played since Week 4 but made progress during the Giants' bye last week and is expected to return to action on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Although his tenure in New York has been extremely disappointing to this point, Golladay should see some opportunities with Kadarius Toney now in Kansas City and Sterling Shepard (knee) out for the season. He will be a name to monitor but should remain on fantasy waiver wires for the time being.

The New York Giants placed safety Xavier McKinney (hand) on the Non-Football Injury list on Monday. McKinney injured his hand while on vacation riding an ATV during the team's bye last week, and he's expected to miss multiple weeks. It's a blow for the Giants secondary heading into a Week 10 meeting with the Houston Texans. The 23-year-old McKinney has gotten off to a nice start in his third NFL season, recording 38 tackles (25 solo), one sack, four passes defensed and one forced fumble in eight games played. With McKinney out for the next couple of weeks, the Giants will likely ask Dane Belton to step into a bigger role in New York's secondary.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) "should be ready to go" in Week 10 against the Houston Texans. Apparently Golladay made progress with his sprained MCL during last week's bye, but he hasn't appeared in a game since Week 4, so he'll likely have his snaps limited this Sunday if he's active. We'll have a better idea of the 29-year-old's status later in the week after we see how much he practices. Golladay could have more chances to produce with Kadarius Toney now in Kansas City, but he still feels like a long shot to regain fantasy relevance in 2022. In four games played in 2022, Golladay has only two receptions on six targets for 22 scoreless yards.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is in the final year of his rookie deal, meaning the team will need to decide on his future entering the offseason. According to General Manager Joe Schoen, the team has yet to decide. When asked about the young signal caller, he stated, "there's nine games left, so it's an ongoing evaluation for everybody on the roster." The 25-year-old has started all eight games, leading his squad to a 6-2 record, behind only the Eagles in the NFC. He's thrown for 1,399 yards, with six touchdowns and two interceptions, adding 363 yards rushing with three rushing touchdowns and three fumbles. A long-term contract would be good news for dynasty managers, who are benefiting from Jones's recent production.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in the final year of his contract, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason. A lot of speculation about his future has occurred, but according to General Manager Joe Schoen, the team has yet to decide. When asked about their superstar tailback, he stated, "there's nine games left, so it's an ongoing evaluation for everybody on the roster." The 25-year-old has remained healthy, playing in all eight games with impressive production. He has 163 carries for 779 yards and five touchdowns, plus another 28 receptions for 189 yards through the air. Barkley is currently the RB4 in half-PPR scoring, establishing himself as a valuable player in all formats, especially in keeper and dynasty leagues, where a new deal would be beneficial.

The New York Giants are hopeful that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will play in Week 10 against the Houston Texans. The 29-year-old has only been able to suit up in four games this season. He has two receptions on the season and has been a non-factor in this offense. Despite that, the team is hopeful to get him back on the field after the Week 9 bye. His return could possibly take away targets from Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton. Although, both of those wideouts appear to be much safer fantasy options.

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) was a non participant in Thursday's practice. The Giants traded Kadarius Toney to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier on Thursday, making Golladay the only injured wideout on New York's roster. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Week 4 and is trending in the wrong direction toward suiting up for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Golladay could be held out Sunday against Seattle with an impending bye coming up in Week 9. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Marcus Johnson, and David Sills will be the Giants' top wideouts in Week 8 if Golladay is ruled out.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger underwent successful surgery to correct fractures around his eye and has been given a 2-6 week timeline to return from the scary injury. That said, Bellinger can be dropped in most fantasy leagues, as there are probably better "IR spot" stashes in fantasy football right now. Bellinger's ceiling isn't high enough to be worth holding since he could miss almost the entire fantasy football regular season. Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson will be candidates to take his snaps, but neither is an attractive fantasy option as of now.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will miss yet another game as the team heads into Seattle to face the Seahawks. Golladay's injury doesn't carry much significance since most fantasy managers have dropped him, but with Kadarius Toney headed to Kansas City via trade, his name could pop back up on the fantasy radar at some point this season. For now, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are the most fantasy-attractive pass-catchers in New York. Seattle's defense has struggled this season, so either or both could be in for a big day.

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) missed practice on Wednesday. At this point, the news shouldn't be surprising for fans or fantasy players. Both wide receivers have been injured for most of the season, as Toney last played in Week 2, while Golladay hasn't seen the field since Week 4. When either will return to the lineup is unknown at this time. However, with Wan'Dale Robinson turning into Daniel Jones' favorite receiver, neither Toney nor Golladay offers much fantasy value moving forward, barring a trade. Both wide receivers belong on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.

New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) will have surgery this week on his fractured eye socket, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Bellinger will be out indefinitely, and it's unclear if he'll play again this year. The 22-year-old fractured his eye socket in the Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, a tough break for a rookie that was starting to become a bigger weapon in the passing game for quarterback Daniel Jones. Bellinger can probably be dropped in single-year fantasy leagues, but he needs to remain stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues, even if he doesn't play again in 2022. With Bellinger out for the foreseeable future, Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson will be in line for more playing time at the tight end position in New York.
New York Giants rookie offensive tackle Evan Neal (knee) is expected to miss three to four weeks due to an MCL injury that he suffered in the Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, according to a source. Neal will miss a little bit of time, but the good news is that the first-round pick will be back this season. He was listed as week-to-week earlier on Monday and is officially dealing with a Grade 2 MCL sprain. Devery Hamilton is likely to draw the start at right tackle in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. Neal's injury will be a downgrade for the Giants offense for the next three to four weeks. The 22-year-old came off the board with the seventh overall pick out of Alabama earlier this year.
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) is undergoing surgery to fix his torn left ACL on Tuesday, according to a source. The surgery comes almost a month after his injury in order to accelerate the recovery process afterward. Shepard tore his left ACL in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys and will miss the rest of the 2022 season. It's a tough break for the 29-year-old pass-catcher after he missed most of last year with a torn Achilles. Before his injury this year, the 29-year-old was having a solid start to the campaign with 13 catches on 24 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown. Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay continue to be sidelined by injuries as well, which has allowed Richie James and Darius Slayton to have bigger roles in the offense.

New York Giants rookie offensive tackle Evan Neal (knee) is believed to have a Grade 2 MCL sprain of his knee based on early tests, according to a source. The top-10 pick could miss some time moving forward, but it's to be determined. Neal, the seventh overall pick out of Alabama earlier this year, had started all seven games so far this year for the G-Men in his first NFL season. It remains to be seen how much time the 22-year-old will miss, but it will certainly be a downgrade for the Giants offensive line. With Neal injured, it's possible that Devery Hamilton will be forced to start in a Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks on the road.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger has suffered a fracture around his eye socket and septum that may require surgery. For now, it's tough to know what the injury timeline is since it's a fairly rare football injury, so fantasy managers who have been streaming him will have to keep up to date with his latest news. If he misses time, wide receivers Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end Chris Myarick could be in line for more targets and more significant roles.

New York Giants offensive tackle Evan Neal (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The talented rookie has offered key protection in the trenches this season, so his injury does not bode well for the production of Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and other key New York playmakers.
New York Giants tackle Evan Neal (knee) is believed to have suffered a PCL injury. If confirmed, he could miss multiple games, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The talented rookie has offered key protection in the trenches this season, so his injury does not bode well for the production of Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and other key New York playmakers. Tyre Phillips will take over at right tackle in Neal's absence.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and will be taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. The rookie suffered the injury after being hit in the face during the first half of Sunday's game. He finishes the day with one catch for 14 yards. Look for Tanner Hudson and Chris Myarick to fill in at tight end during Bellinger's absence.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) were ruled out ahead of the Week 7 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. This comes as no surprise, so fantasy managers shouldn't be heavily impacted. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson should see an increased role after scoring his first touchdown last week, but Darius Slayton, Richie James, and David Sills will be factors as well. Robinson likely has the highest ceiling, so he's the guy to stream in this matchup.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) wasn't listed with an injury designation on Friday and will suit up in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Barkley initially injured his shoulder in Week 5 but played through it in the Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens and carried the ball 25 times for 95 yards and a touchdown. The 25-year-old has managed to play in all six games so far this year and has been a top-five fantasy back that has pretty much carried New York's offense. Jacksonville's defense is tied for eighth in points allowed per game in half-point PPR leagues to RBs, so Barkley remains a must-start in fantasy lineups this weekend as the centerpiece of the offense.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that the team isn't considering putting wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) on Injured Reserve. Toney, who played in just 10 games in his rookie year in 2021 due to injuries, hasn't played for the Giants since Week 2. In the first two games of 2022, he was rarely on the field, too, securing just two of his three targets for zero yards while carrying the ball twice for 23 yards. The 23-year-old has been a huge disappointment in his first two NFL seasons and doesn't appear to be close to returning in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing Wednesday's practice. Toney is currently rostered in only 15 percent of Yahoo leagues.
New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) both missed practice again on Thursday. The Giants say they have no plans to put Toney on Injured Reserve, but he hasn't played since Week 2 and doesn't appear to be anywhere close to getting back on the field. The former first-rounder has been an absolute bust through his first two seasons so far. He caught two of three targets for zero yards and rushed twice for 23 yards in his two games to begin the year. Both Toney and Golladay should remain firmly on your league's waiver wire in single-year formats. Golladay has two catches for 22 yards in four games and hasn't played since Week 4.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Barkley initially injured his shoulder in Week 5, but he hasn't missed any time and should be just fine to play in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been carrying the Giants offense and fantasy managers through the first six weeks, receiving a league-high 119 carries for 616 yards (career-high 5.2 yards per carry) and four touchdowns while also catching 21 passes for 155 yards. In half-point PPR leagues, he's third among RBs in total fantasy points and will remain a high-end, must-start RB1 moving forward as long as he remains healthy.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. It's not a great start to the week for the two receivers heading into a Week 7 date with the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road. Toney continues to battle injuries and hasn't played since Week 2. In his two games, he was barely involved, too, catching two of three targets for zero yards and rushing twice for 23 yards. Golladay has been out since Week 4 and has just two receptions (six targets) for 22 yards in four contests. Both Toney and Golladay belong on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues until further notice. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson scored his first career touchdown in his return in Week 6 and has been a popular waiver-wire pickup this week.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past few weeks. The shoulder injury hasn't forced the star running back to miss any games, but he has received medical attention during the past couple of contests. However, head coach Brian Daboll reportedly has no concerns about the former No. 2 overall draft pick. Barkley has returned to his rookie form this year, averaging 18.9 half-point PPR fantasy points in 2022. More importantly, he is the RB3 for the year. Hopefully, the shoulder injury doesn't become a problem for the star running back.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is expected to suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The 21-year-old hasn't played since the season opener due to a lingering knee injury. The return of Robinson is a welcoming sight with the Giants banged up at wide receiver. Both Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) are uncertain to suit up in Week 6. Their absence should mean more targets for Robinson in this one. It's tough to gauge his fantasy value since he's only played in part of one game. Robinson could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in desperate need of help at wideout.
New York Giants defensive end Leonard Williams (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Week 2 due to a lingering knee injury. Although, it sounds like Williams is finally healthy and ready to make an impact on the Giants defense again. He finished with 81 tackles and 6.5 sacks through 17 games last season. The Giants defense will get a major boost with Williams back in the mix for this contest.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) are both active for Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. Robinson, a rookie, will play for the first time since Week 1 when he caught one pass for five yards. His return is huge for a Giants team that has been destroyed by injuries at the wide receiver position. Meanwhile, the return of Williams, who hasn't played since Week 2, will solidify the Giants' efforts to slow down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' fast-paced offense.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is officially active for the Week 6 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. This is great news for the Giants who are currently banged up at wideout. Robinson hasn't played since injuring his knee in Week 1. He should immediately have a role in this offense with the Giants limited at wide receiver. The expectation is that Robinson could have WR4 value right out of the gate. Fantasy managers in desperate need of production at wide receiver should take a look at Robinson for Week 6.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll sounded optimistic about rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) returning to play in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. Robinson hasn't played since making his NFL debut in the season opener back in Week 1, but he'd be a welcomed addition to New York's receiving corps, which has been once again beat up by injuries so far in 2022. The 21-year-old caught his only target for a five-yard gain in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. If both Kadarius Toney (hamstrings) and Kenny Golladay (knee) miss another game, Robinson could have a decent-sized role in the passing attack against a vulnerable Ravens secondary. There's a good chance Robinson will be listed as questionable on the team's final injury report on Friday.
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) have been ruled out of the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. This doesn't come as a surprise, so fantasy managers should be prepared since neither has provided anything this year. With Sterling Shepard (knee) out for the season, Darius Slayton and Richie James are the two most intriguing Giants' wide receivers. Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is also questionable for Week 6, but it's tough to trust him in lineups if he does play. That said, he could have a ton of value moving forward if he can stay on the field in a lackluster wide receiver room.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was removed from the final Week 6 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley got in three limited practice this week but will be good to go in Week 6 and will remain a must-start RB1 for fantasy managers. The 25-year-old is a big reason why the G-Men have opened up with a surprising 4-1 record, as he has 97 carries for 533 yards (career-high 5.5 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns while also catching 18 of 23 targets for 143 additional yards in five games. Keep Barkley firmly locked into your starting fantasy lineups this weekend.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice. This is back-to-back days that Barkley has been limited due to a lingering shoulder issue. Despite that, head coach Brian Daboll doesn't believe this injury should sideline Barkley. In fact, Daboll believes Barkley will be able to handle a full workload against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Whatever happens during Friday's practice will be a big factor in determining whether or not Barkley plays this week. He'll be a must-start RB1, assuming he does suit up against the Ravens.

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday. Joining him was fellow wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee). Meanwhile, backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was limited as he transitions into normal practice. Unfortunately, seeing Toney and Golladay's names on the injury report isn't anything new for fantasy players. The duo has missed four combined games this season and have totaled only nine targets. Neither receiver played in the Week 5 27-22 win over the Green Bay Packers. If both are out again this week, Darius Slayton, Richie James, and David Sills will see an uptick in targets.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Brian Daboll. However, there doesn't appear to be much concern on Barkley's status for the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley left last Sunday's win over the Green Bay Packers in London, but he was able to return and should be just fine for this weekend, barring some sort of setback. The 25-year-old has been the MVP of New York's offense through the first five weeks, carrying the rock 97 times for 533 yards (career-high 5.5 yards per carry) and three touchdowns while also catching 18 of 23 targets for 143 yards. Barkley is a must-start RB1 if he's active against Baltimore.
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will be limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. Robinson hasn't played since the season opener due to a lingering knee injury, but it looks like he's on the right track to make his return in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. And with both Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) still not practicing, Robinson could have a significant role in the passing game if he's active this weekend. With all three of Robinson, Toney and Golladay out last Sunday in the win over the Green Bay Packers in London, Darius Slayton led the team in receiving with a 6-79-0 line on seven targets. The 21-year-old Robinson is worth stashing in deeper leagues, but he'll be a WR4/flex, at best, in those formats if he's active in Week 6.

New York Giants rookie defensive tackle D.J. Davidson (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in the Week 5 win over the Green Bay Packers in London, and tests will determine how long he'll be out moving forward. Davidson had to be carted off the field in the fourth quarter on Sunday and will miss some time. With the 25-year-old out for what's likely to be at least a few weeks, Justin Ellis will have a chance for more playing time on the interior of New York's defensive line behind Dexter Lawrence. In his first five NFL games, Davidson played just 43 total defensive snaps and recorded four tackles (two solo).

New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers in London. He was limited in practice all week long and entered the weekend with a "questionable" designation. The 28-year-old logged seven tackles through his first two games in 2022 before missing Weeks 3 and 4. Now, his return will be delayed yet another week.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) is questionable to return for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. He hit the ground hard while being tackled in the third quarter. Barkley briefly went to the medical tent and wanted to re-enter the contest. However, the Giants want to make sure Barkley is fine and have taken him into the locker room. His day could be over, but hopefully this isn't anything serious. Matt Breida should be the primary running back until Barkley returns.
New York Giants cornerback Adoree' Jackson (knee, back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London. The talented defender has amassed 25 tackles and one fumble recovery through the first five contests. Darnay Holmes and Justin Layne are in line to see more snaps with Jackson sidelined.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) has checked back into Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers in London. The NFL's rushing leader, Barkley has been the centerpiece of New York's offense with so many wide receivers injured. His return not only brings relief to fantasy managers but is also pivotal for a Giants team looking to edge out Green Bay overseas.

New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) won't travel with the team to London and have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Toney was limited on Wednesday but unable to practice Thursday or Friday, while Golladay didn't practice this week. The Giants' wide receivers group is running thin with Golladay and Toney out. Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), David Sills, and Richie James (ankle) will be the team's top wideouts for Sunday's contest. Toney and Golladay's next chance to suit up will be in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is trending in the right direction toward suiting up for the London game against the Green Bay Packers. He was limited in Thursday's practice. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, things are going in the right direction for Jones to be on the field in London. The Giants did not add a quarterback to the roster this week, with backup Tyrod Taylor (concussion) also injured, which is a good sign that Jones will suit up for Week 5. Jones has thrown for 631 yards and a 3:2 TD: INT ratio while adding 193 yards and two scores through the ground. If active, with a depleted receivers core, Kenny Golladay (knee), and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) ruled out, Jones is mainly an option in superflex leagues.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is currently dealing with injuries to both hamstrings. According to Giants head coach Brian Daboll, the 23-year-old tweaked his other hamstring during Wednesday's practice. He recovered well from the initial hamstring injury that sidelined him for the last two weeks but tweaked his other hamstring in practice this week. The former first-round pick will not make the trip to London has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers. Toney's next chance to return will be in Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens. Kenny Golladay was also ruled out for the London game; the Giants will be thin at wideout with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), Richie James (ankle), and Darius Slayton as quarterback Daniel Jones' top targets available in Week 5.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) was taken off the final injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday in London against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. Most of Jones' QB2 value in fantasy comes from his rushing ability -- he scored two touchdowns with his legs in the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears -- and his ankle injury might prevent him from taking off as much on the ground this weekend. The 25-year-old will also be without receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring), Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and Kenny Golladay (knee) in London. Backup Tyrod Taylor (concussion) was ruled out, so Davis Webb will serve as Jones' backup. Jones is a low-upside, low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and Kenny Golladay (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London. Robinson hasn't played since making his NFL debut in the season opener, and the Giants will also be without Kadarius Toney, who is now dealing with injuries to both of his hamstrings. David Sills, Richie James and Darius Slayton figure to serve as quarterback Daniel Jones' top aerial targets, making the Packers defense/special teams unit a solid play in fantasy this week. Running back Saquon Barkley is about the only offensive weapon on the Giants that fantasy managers can trust in starting lineups right now.

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) were both limited in Wednesday's practice session. It looks as though the Giants receiving corps is getting healthier, although Kenny Golladay (knee) and Richie James Jr. (ankle) didn't practice. Toney has missed the last two games, while Robinson hasn't played since getting injured in his NFL debut in Week 1. There's a chance both Toney and Robinson return for the London game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, and there will be more opportunity with Sterling Shepard (knee) done for the year. However, it's really hard to count on any Giants receiver at this point, making Toney and Robinson merely deep-league stashes until they can prove themselves and stay healthy.
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Richie James (ankle) and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday. Golladay will likely miss the Week 5 contest in London against the Green Bay Packers after suffering a sprained MCL in last week's win over the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old has been an afterthought in New York's offense through four weeks, catching just two of six targets for 22 yards. He doesn't belong on fantasy rosters outside of the deepest of formats. James played a season-low 32 percent of the snaps last Sunday and caught one of three targets for just nine yards. The 27-year-old is in danger of missing this weekend's game and isn't much of an option for fantasy lineups to begin with, especially if one or both of Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson return in Week 5.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) "looked pretty good" during Wednesday's practice. He suffered an ankle injury in the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old will test his ankle on Thursday to see how he looks and feels before traveling to London. The Giants did not add a quarterback to the roster this week with backup Tyrod Taylor (concussion) also injured, which is a good sign that Jones will suit up for the London game against the Green Bay Packers. Jones is an option in superflex leagues if he ends up being active against Green Bay in Week 5.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was held out of practice on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. The sophomore has missed the past two games after recording two catches for zero yards and two rushing attempts for 23 yards through the first two weeks of the season. The Giants are extremely thin at the wide receiver position with Sterling Shepard (knee) out for the season, as well as Kenny Golladay (knee) and Richie James Jr. (ankle), being banged-up. There's a chance Toney can get in some work on Friday and be active against the Packers in London, but fantasy managers shouldn't insert him into their starting lineup regardless of a potentially large role in the offense.

The New York Giants worked out quarterback Jake Fromm on Tuesday. The Giants are dealing with injuries to each of their top two quarterbacks as Daniel Jones has an ankle injury and Tyrod Taylor is in the league's concussion protocol. Fromm was in town as a contingency plan in case neither Jones nor Taylor is able to take the field in Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London. Fromm appeared in three games for the Giants in 2021, completing 27 of his 60 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) left their Week 4 contest against the Bears early with an ailment. The injury is reportedly an MCL sprain, which is expected to sideline the veteran wideout this week against the Packers in London. The 28-year-old has been very disappointing this season, posting two catches for 22 yards in four games. His usage has been strangely low, leading many to question the state of his relationship with the organization and coaching staff. His contract will likely keep him attached to the team for at least the remainder of this season. However, the extent of his role remains to be seen, making him a cut candidate in most leagues.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) took part in Wednesday's practice. The veteran quarterback did both individual stuff and team drills during the portion of practice open to the media. Jones suffered an ankle injury last week in New York's 20-12 win over the Chicago Bears. The former first-round pick left the game early but was forced back into action when Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion. While the Giants worked out a few quarterbacks earlier this week, Jones was healthy enough to partake in practice today. However, the New York quarterback isn't an ideal fantasy option against the Green Bay Packers this week, even if he is active.

Free-agent safety Landon Collins is making a trip to visit the New York Giants on Monday. The 28-year-old has spent each of the last three seasons with Washington. Before that, Collins made three Pro Bowls and an All-Pro team as a member of the Giants. He finished with 81 tackles, three sacks, and two interceptions through 13 games last season. Clearly, Collins still has something left in the tank. The Giants could use an upgrade on defense and Collins might seriously consider joining the now 3-1 Giants roster.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is currently considered day-to-day following an injury he suffered during the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old had his ankle wrapped, but never went into the locker room. Tyrod Taylor briefly came in before possibly suffering an injury himself. After that, Jones was forced back into the game to help close out the contest. The tests are still coming in, but the team appears to be optimistic about Jones. They will continue to monitor him throughout the week, but this doesn't sound like a long term injury.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) is officially inactive for Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old has totaled seven tackles through just two games this season. Jihad Ward and Nick Williams will take over for Williams during Sunday's matchup against a weak Bears offense.
New York Giants safety Julian Love (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. This is a huge loss for the Giants considering Love has been their leading tackle. Through the first three games of the season, the 24-year-old registered 25 tackles and one sack.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is questionable to return against the Chicago Bears. Tyrod Taylor has entered the game. Jones completed just eight passes for 71 yards but made a huge impact on the ground, adding 68 rushing yards and two touchdowns. If Jones is forced to miss any time, Taylor would be a high-end QB3 with upside.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) and right tackle Evan Neal (neck) are both questionable to return in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. The Giants' wide receiver corps is severely banged up. Golladay joins a list of injured wideouts that includes Kadarius Toney, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Sterling Shepard. To make matters worse, both Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (undisclosed) are injured, forcing New York to proceed with Saquon Barkley commanding the offense in the wildcat formation.
New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (head) exited Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears and is being evaluated for a concussion. Taylor was only playing because Daniel Jones exited with an ankle injury. Taylor's exit forced Jones to come back into the game, but he was visibly injured and New York primarily operated out of the wildcat formation. The Giants have been decimated by injuries and may need to add some quarterback reinforcements in the coming week.

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) have been declared out for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Both wideouts were inactive last week, as well, and were unable to practice ahead of this Sunday's contest. With Sterling Shepard (knee) out for the remainder of the season, Toney and Robinson are interesting players to stash in fantasy as the Giants are lacking reliable pass-catchers. In their absence, Richie James, Kenny Golladay, and David Sills V project to see the most targets from Daniel Jones, with James being the most appealing flex option.
Friday, September 30
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (ankle, knee) has been ruled out for the team's Week 4 meeting with the Giants. Montgomery exited Week 3 early after an awkward tackle, which paved the way for Khalil Herbert to go off with 20 carries for 157 yards and two touchdowns. With Montgomery sidelined, Herbert enters borderline must-start territory this week as he should be very busy in the Bears' run-heavy offense. In four starts last season, Herbert averaged 19.5 carries for 86 yards, making him a high-end RB2 this week.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday. Wan'Dale Robinson was also absent from Wednesday's practice. Toney is "getting closer," but he will need to practice this week to have a chance to play Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. The 23-year-old could have an expanded role as the Giants recently lost wide receiver Sterling Shepard due to a torn ACL. The former first-round pick hasn't played much this season, catching just two passes for no gain over two games. Toney is competing with Richie James, David Sill, and Robinson for targets in the Giants' passing game. Fantasy managers can continue to stash Toney in deep-league formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) was carted off the field during the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He was running a route on the final play of the game and his knee appeared to give out. It appears to be a left knee injury and it was severe enough that they needed to cart him off the field. Before exiting, Shepard had five receptions on 10 targets for 49 yards. The Giants will be forced to use a mix of Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, and Darius Slayton, assuming Shepard misses time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Shepard.
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) suffered a serious left knee injury in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple sources. A final diagnosis will come on Tuesday, but Shepard's season is likely over. It was a non-contact injury late in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 game, and his teammates and Cowboys players were consoling the 29-year-old pass-catcher as if his season were already over as he was being carted off the field. Shepard was limited to just seven games in 2021 due to multiple injuries, the big one being a torn Achilles. It will be a big loss for the team's receiving corps, as Shepard had been their most productive receiver through three weeks with 13 catches on 24 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown.
Updating a previous report, New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (knee) suffered a torn left ACL in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Shepard will now miss the rest of the season after playing in just seven games in 2021 due to various injuries, including a torn Achilles. It's a tough break for Shepard and the Giants, as he was their top pass-catcher through three games, catching 13 of his 24 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown. Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson were both inactive in Week 3. Rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger and receivers Richie James and David Sills combined for 10 receptions in the loss to Dallas. Toney has the most fantasy upside of any Giants receiver, but he hasn't been able to stay on the field early in his career.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) are "getting closer," but it sounds like they will need to make more progress this week in order to play in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. Neither player was active for the Monday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys, and Robinson has missed the last two games. The G-Men just lost Sterling Shepard (knee) to a torn ACL as well, so they're receiving depth is already being tested early in 2022 for the second straight season. With Kenny Golladay disappearing from the game plan, Richie James and David Sills have taken on bigger roles in the passing attack the last two weeks.

New York Giants pass-rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both active for Monday Night Football against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Both players came into this contest listed as questionable, but they will suit up as the G-Men look to stay perfect on the season. Thibodeaux, the No. 5 overall pick, will be making his NFL debut against after he sprained his right MCL in the second preseason game. Against a suspect Cowboys offensive line, the 21-year-old pass-rusher could make an immediate impact for the Giants defense. Ojulari will also be making his 2022 season debut after getting injured in August.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and defensive end Leonard Williams (knee), who were both listed as doubtful, are officially inactive on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Toney has been one of the biggest disappointments so far in the early going. The 23-year-old second-year wideout played just 12 percent of the offensive snaps in the season opener and 38 percent of the snaps last week, catching two of his three targets for zero yards in two games. With rookie Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) out again as well, the Giants are expected to have David Sills and Richie James in three-wide sets alongside Sterling Shepard. Kenny Golladay played just two snaps in the Week 2 win over the Panthers. Toney is currently rostered in only 31% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) is officially listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 28-year-old suffered an MCL sprain last Sunday and will now have to wait at least one week before returning to game action. As a result, Nick Williams finds himself positioned to see increased snaps.
New York Giants linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both expected to play in Week 3 despite being listed as questionable, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Both players missed the first two weeks of the season but should be on the field for Monday night's divisional clash with the Dallas Cowboys. For Thibodeaux, Monday marks his NFL debut after an impressive collegiate career at Oregon. Meanwhile, Ojulari is looking to build on his impressive 49 tackles, eight sacks, and one forced fumble as a rookie last season.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will not practice again on Saturday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Toney took part in practice earlier in the week, but this will be his second straight missed practice, so his availability for Monday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 isn't looking good. On top of it, the 23-year-old second-year receiver has played just 33 offensive snaps through the first two games, so fantasy managers have dumped him in a lot of leagues already. The Giants' final injury report for Week 3 should be released before long on Saturday, so we'll know soon whether Toney has a chance of playing. Even if he's active, it's hard to recommend him for a starting spot in fantasy lineups this week.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is now listed as doubtful ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Toney missed practice on Saturday and is unlikely to play on Monday night. Despite the upside he flashed as a rookie, Toney is an obvious cut candidate in fantasy right now as he has not been involved in the Giants' offense to begin the season and is now dealing with a hamstring injury. He could be worth holding onto in deeper formats but is probably just clogging your bench in most redraft leagues. If Toney misses time, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton could start to get involved for New York.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of the team's Week 3 divisional showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie will now miss his second consecutive game after suffering a knee injury in the season opener. Robinson could get an opportunity at some point this season but is only worth holding onto in dynasty fantasy football leagues. With Kadarius Toney (hamstring) also likely to sit this week, targets could be spread out amongst multiple wide receivers with Sterling Shepard being the only interesting fantasy option.
Friday, September 23
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. He didn't practice on Wednesday, so the slight increase in his activity level is a good sign regarding his availability for Monday night against Dallas. With that said, the 23-year-old hasn't been productive this season, accumulating only two catches for zero yards, so there likely aren't many fantasy managers concerned about his availability.
Thursday, September 22
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) missed practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. He suffered a knee injury in Week 1 and hasn't been able to play since then. Head coach Brian Daboll mentioned that Robinson is getting better, but clearly he's still hurting. In the meantime, Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard are expected to see a majority of the targets in New York. Possibly, Robinson practices on Friday and is upgraded for Sunday, but fantasy managers should expect to be without Robinson for at least one more game.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Daboll said that Toney has hamstring "soreness." Sterling Shepard will also sit out of practice, but it's just rep management heading into Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Toney has been a huge disappointment through two weeks of play, catching just two of three targets for zero yards. The good news is that he played 38 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 2 after playing just 12 percent of the snaps in the season opener. The 23-year-old second-year wideout has already been dropped in a lot of fantasy leagues and is now only rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo leagues. He's not a realistic flex play in Week 3.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants defensive tackle Leonard Williams (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in the Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. Williams might miss some time, but it's not expected to be much. Head coach Brian Daboll said Williams' injury was "better than it could be." The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, but he'll be questionable, at best, to suit up on Monday night in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys, making him extremely risky in IDP leagues at the defensive line position this week. In the first two weeks of the 2022 season, Williams has seven tackles (five solo). In the season-opening win over the Tennessee Titans, he played 82 percent of the defensive snaps.
The New York Giants officially signed veteran free-agent linebacker Jaylon Smith to their practice squad on Tuesday. Smith will return to the Giants after playing in four games (two starts) for them last season. He also saw time with the Dallas Cowboys (four games) and Green Bay Packers (two games) in 2021. The 27-year-old former second-rounder was a Pro Bowler in 2019 with the Cowboys and has recorded 100-plus tackles in three of his five NFL seasons, but for now he'll operate as linebacker depth in the Big Apple.

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is expected to be active for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Toney underwhelmed in last week's season opener, playing just seven snaps and registering two touches. Even with Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) sidelined, it's impossible to justify starting Toney after his Week 1 letdown. Similarly, fellow wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Kenny Golladay shouldn't be started in fantasy football.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will suit up for the Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old was barely seen in the season opener, which was frustrating for fantasy managers. Toney only played in seven snaps and saw two touches throughout the contest. It's hard to justify starting Toney after the letdown in Week 1. Fellow wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard are better targets in fantasy formats.
New York Giants linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are officially inactive for Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. This comes as no surprise considering both players were listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. Thibodeaux, who was also inactive last Sunday, will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL debut. Ozulari, who totaled 49 tackles, eight sacks, and one forced fumble as a rookie in 2021, was also inactive last week.
New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams (knee) suffered a knee injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. He managed to log two tackles before exiting early. According to the Giants' depth chart, Nick Williams is the next man up at the defensive tackle position. Leonard Williams totaled 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles last season, so Giants fans will hope that his injury isn't too serious and he can return to the field in Week 3.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was officially ruled out for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Robinson sustained the injury in Week 1 after recording just one catch and did not practice at all this week. The good news is that there has been no indication that the injury will be a long-term issue and Robinson should be back sooner rather than later. In the meantime, Sterling Shepard, Kenny Golladay, and Richie James figure to see the bulk of the wide receiver targets, especially if Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is unable to suit up as well. Darius Slayton could also get involved despite being a healthy scratch last week. Robinson is an interesting hold in dynasty but can be left on the waiver wire for now in redraft fantasy leagues.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) has been listed as questionable on the team's final Week 2 injury report. Toney, who barely played in Week 1 but looked electric on his two rushing attempts, was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after his hamstring tightened up. His involvement in the offense going forward was unclear either way, but this is obviously not a good sign considering Toney battled injuries for the majority of his rookie season. Although Toney passes the eye test every time he has the ball, it might be best to drop him for a player with guaranteed opportunities this week if you need a fantasy starter. Even if Toney plays, he should remain out of starting lineups until he proves to have a role.
New York Giants rookie linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) has been listed as doubtful ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Thibodeaux suffered a sprained MCL in the preseason that kept him sidelined in Week 1 and said on Thursday that he felt "really confident" in making his first regular season appearance on Sunday. Unfortunately, it seems that he may be held out for at least one more game after practicing in a limited fashion all week. If he returns for Week 3, it will be an exciting debut in a Monday night divisional showdown with the Dallas Cowboys.

New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) is "really confident" in making his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. He continues to recover from an MCL sprain he suffered in mid-August and is trending towards the right direction of suiting up against Carolina. "Getting close," Thibodeaux said Thursday. "Like I said, trying not to look too far what is today? Today is Thursday - still have Friday and Saturday. I'm really confident in this Sunday." The No. 5 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft participated in some drills on Thursday and was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Thibodeaux will look to log a full session on Friday and could make his debut this Sunday. Stay tuned.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was added to the injury report this week after getting in a limited practice session on Thursday. Toney dealt with lower body issues for much of training camp and in his rookie season in 2021, so this is not what his fantasy managers want to see early in the season. It's especially disappointing after he played only 12 percent of the offensive snaps and didn't see a single target in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. He carried the ball twice for 23 yards. If the 23-year-old plays this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, he could see a bigger role with rookie Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) iffy to play, but it's hard to recommend him as a flex play after his Week 1 performance, outside of deeper leagues.
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Robinson is currently looking very iffy to play in the Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers this weekend. The 21-year-old will need to get back on the practice field on Friday in order to have a shot at suiting up. In his NFL debut in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans, he played 15 percent of the offensive snaps and caught his only target for a five-yard gain. Robinson was extremely impressive during training camp, but this injury could set his development back early in the 2022 season. If he's unable to go this Sunday, Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard should be the team's top two receivers, with Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Richie James battling for bigger roles.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) isn't practicing on Wednesday and is day-to-day. He's made progress after injuring his right knee in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. Daboll seemed to imply there was optimism about Robinson's health status, even if he's unable to play in Week 2 this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. As of now, the 21-year-old second-rounder should be considered questionable, at best, to suit up this weekend. If he doesn't play, perhaps second-year wideout Kadarius Toney, who had zero targets in Week 1, will get more involved in the passing attack alongside Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard.
Monday, September 12
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson was forced to exit the team's Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans with a knee injury. Robinson caught his only target and gained five yards on the play he suffered the injury. He indicated that he might have been able to continue playing but the coaches decided it was best for him to sit. An MRI scan will be performed tomorrow, but feelings are positive after initial X-rays came back negative. If Robinson is forced to miss time, more opportunities could be available for Kadarius Toney who was hardly involved on Sunday.
Sunday, September 11
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. This news isn't a major surprise considering the Giants have a relatively deep wide receiver room consisting of Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, Sterling Shepard, and Wan'Dale Robinson. Of that group, Toney has the most fantasy value, but even he ranks as a low-end WR3 at best.
New York Giants linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Their absences could prove to be quite negative for the New York defense, all while giving the Titans' playmakers some additional fantasy value. Specifically, this news bodes well for the outlooks of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will not return to Sunday's game versus the Titans. The 21-year-old was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft but was expected to immediately play a prominent role in the offense this season. Unfortunately, Robinson finished with only one catch for five yards, so fantasy managers didn't see much out of him in his debut. With that said, there should be more news about his condition ahead of the Week 2 matchup against Carolina. However, if Robinson can't suit up for that one, Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, and Sterling Shepard are the favorites to get an extra look or two from Daniel Jones.
Saturday, September 10
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) was left off the team's final injury report after being a limited participant in practice on Friday. Shepard will be active in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, but it is unknown just how many snaps he will play, especially with head coach Brian Daboll labeling Shepard a game-time call earlier on Friday. Shepard is not on the fantasy radar at the moment but could be worth a stash in deeper leagues as he has been productive when healthy in the past.
New York Giants linebacker Azeez Ojulari (calf) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Titans. The 22-year-old is a game-time call. However, things aren't looking promising. Ojulari had a fantastic rookie year in 2021, finishing with 49 total tackles and eight sacks, so being without him will be a tough blow for a Giants defense looking to slow down Derrick Henry and company. Even worse, Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) isn't forecasted to make his league debut after spraining his MCL during the preseason.
Friday, September 09
TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) will be a game-time decision on Sunday for the Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Shepard will probably do a pre-game workout before inactives are released so the Giants can make a final decision. The 29-year-old pass-catcher is less than nine months removed from a torn Achilles suffered last season, so even if he does play, fantasy managers would be wise to keep him out of their starting lineups in Week 1 in deeper leagues. For now, the Giants have healthy bodies ahead of him at the position in Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson. If Shepard is ruled out, Darius Slayton would be battling for playing time as the No. 4 wideout.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has restructured his contract for the upcoming season. The 25-year-old will take a significant paycut after experiencing a down year in 2021. Last season, Slayton finished with 26 receptions, 339 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in 13 games. He spent a majority of training camp battling for a spot on the roster. His original $2.5 million salary will turn into $965,000 for the 2022 season. At the moment, Slayton is off the fantasy radar in most formats. Although, he could find his way into the mix, assuming the Giants lose a player or two due to injuries.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) plans to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old was activated off the PUP list in late August after tearing his Achilles in December. He finished with 36 receptions, 336 receiving yards, and one touchdown in seven games last season. When healthy, Shepard is usually the most consistent receiver on the Giants roster. However, it's unclear how he'll play coming off a serious injury. He could work his way into the WR3 conversation, assuming he doesn't lose a step from the Achilles tear.

The New York Giants have reached an agreement with defensive back Fabian Moreau. The former third round pick spent the 2021 season with the Atlanta Falcons. He recorded 61 tackles and 11 passes defended in 16 games last season. The 28-year-old was signed by the Houston Texans in May, but released by the organization in August. This is a strong landing spot for Moreau. He'll be an upgrade to this unit that was unit 12th worst in coverage last season.

TEAMPLAYERTRANSACTION
New York Giants defensive end Leonard Williams (arm) is wearing a bulky brace on his left arm for an undisclosed injury, but he said he'll be ready to go for the Week 1 regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans. The arm issue is the reason why he was limited in training camp this summer. The 28-year-old former first-round pass-rusher also dealt with a triceps injury in 2021, but he still managed to play 17 games. When healthy, Williams is a top-10 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy leagues. Williams was a Pro Bowler back in 2016 with the New York Jets, and he had a career-high 11.5 sacks in 16 games in his first full season for the G-Men in 2020. Last year, he racked up a career-high 81 tackles (34 solo), five tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
The New York Giants signed veteran free-agent defensive back Tony Jefferson to their practice squad, along with offensive lineman Wyatt Davis, defensive end Henry Mondeaux and linebacker Charles Wiley. Jefferson didn't survive roster cuts last Tuesday with the Baltimore Ravens, making him a free agent. The 30-year-old served as secondary depth for the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers last year and only played in six games, finishing with 18 tackles (nine solo) and one sack. Jefferson has eight years of NFL experience (four with the Arizona Cardinals) and should provide the Giants with some valuable depth in 2022.

The Giants released linebacker Blake Martinez on Thursday night. The veteran joined the team in 2020 after agreeing to a three-year, $30 million contract. He finished his first season in New York by recording 151 tackles, five passes defensed, three sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pick. However, he tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2021-22 campaign and missed the rest of the year. That said, assuming Martinez's health issues are behind him, he'll likely find work, and it could happen soon. While it's possible he may have lost a step since the injury, he should draw consideration from IDP managers based on his tackling prowess over the years.

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (leg) is practicing with the team on Wednesday and looks 100 percent healthy. Head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday that he's "hopeful" that Toney will be ready for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sept. 11 against the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old has been battling through a right leg injury, and he's also coming off offseason knee surgery. The former first-rounder has the most long-term upside of any Giants receiver, but injuries early in his career have caused fantasy managers to be cautious. When healthy, he'll start in three-receiver sets alongside Kenny Golladay and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson. Consider Toney a WR4/flex with upside in upcoming fantasy drafts.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (concussion) will not return to Sunday's preseason matchup against the Jets. The 2022 fourth-round pick had a brief stint on the PUP list throughout training camp, so the latest injury isn't ideal, especially for a guy who is the likely starter. Nevertheless, with a few weeks to go before the beginning of the regular season, there should be an update on Bellinger's availability. However, if he can't go, Chris Myarick, Austin Allen, and Tanner Hudson may receive more snaps against the Titans, although not enough to make any of them relevant for fantasy managers.
New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) was carted off the field during Sunday's preseason showdown versus the Jets. The veteran didn't last long, taking a shot from defensive end Micheal Clemons late in the first quarter. There should be an update surrounding his condition before the Week 1 opener versus the Tennessee Titans. However, if Taylor isn't available, Davis Webb is slotted to take over as Daniel Jones' backup.
New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor should be fine, according to head coach Brian Daboll. The veteran was carted off the field during Sunday's preseason showdown versus the Jets after taking a hard shot from defensive lineman Micheal Clemons. There should be a more definitive update regarding Taylor's Week 1 availability sometime soon. However, if he isn't good to go, Davis Webb should fill in as Daniel Jones' backup. Nevertheless, Jones will still need to be on his best behavior if Taylor misses time to begin the regular season because if he isn't, he may end up losing his starting job.

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (undisclosed) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest vs. the Jets. Toney has been slowed in practice by nagging leg injuries, while Slayton played just five snaps in the team's preseason opener two weeks ago due to tightness. While the team got a boost earlier in the week after Sterling Shepard returned from an Achilles tear, he will miss the preseason finale and his status for Week 1 remains unclear. Kenny Golladay figures to serve as Daniel Jones' primary weapon on the outside, although Wan'Dale Robinson should play a sizable role as well. If either Toney or Slayton is held out, their next chance to suit up for game action will come Week 1 against Tennessee.
The New York Giants are bringing aboard kicker Ryan Santoso ahead of Sunday's preseason finale against the Jets with Graham Gano (concussion) sidelined. The 6-foot-5 Santoso inks the deal on his 27th birthday, reuniting him with the franchise after having been originally signed to the practice squad in 2020. Santoso has appeared in seven games over the past three years with Tennessee, Carolina and Detroit, primarily as a kickoff specialist. He has gone 4-for-5 on field goal attempts in that time, but he has yet to knock through a kick longer than 35 yards. The Giants have more than two weeks for Gano to clear concussion protocol and take the field against the Titans; the veteran is currently on the fence of fantasy viability, rostered in nearly half of all leagues, per ESPN.

The New York Giants signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers tight end Tanner Hudson to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. The Giants placed veteran Ricky Seals-Jones on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday and also cut Jordan Akins, so they were in need of some reinforcements at an extremely thin position. Hudson was cut by the 49ers on Tuesday. The 27-year-old played in two games for San Francisco in 2021 and wasn't targeted at all. In two years with the Buccaneers to begin his career, he had five catches on 12 targets for 67 yards. Rookie Daniel Bellinger has a clear path to starting duties for the Giants in 2022, while Chris Myarick, rookie Austin Allen and Hudson will back him up.
New York Giants tight end Jordan Akins was cut by the team on Wednesday. NFL teams are working their way through the roster deadlines, resulting in several players around the league being released. The former Texan is one of the latest to experience this and will now be forced to search for a new team. The 30-year-old spent his first four seasons in Houston and signed with the Giants this offseason. His production dipped in 2021, finishing with only 24 receptions for 214 yards and zero touchdowns, his worst numbers since his rookie season. Rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger has received a lot of praise during the preseason, which is likely what prompted the team to feel confident moving forward without Akins. This adds excitement and opportunity for the 21-year-old Bellinger, making him a possible streaming candidate to monitor in all formats.

The New York Giants activated wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday. Shepard has been recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered last year and is now ready to practice in training camp. The 29-year-old played in a career-low seven games in 2021 because of injuries and caught 36 of his 53 targets for 366 yards and only one touchdown. It's good news for the Giants to get another receiver back with the regular season quickly approaching, but rookie slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson may have already earned a starting role inside to begin the season next to Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney. As of right now, Shepard is more of a fourth wideout in New York, and he'll have to prove himself in order to get more opportunities.
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was able to put on pads and perform individual drills during Wednesday's practice, but he appears to still be limited by the hamstring injury that has slowed him this summer. Toney is on track to be a major cog in the Giants' offense during his second year, having hauled in 39 catches for 420 yards over 10 games as a rookie. Kenny Golladay is likely to be N.Y.'s No. 1 pass-catching target, but signal caller Daniel Jones has yet to develop a consistent rapport with Golladay. Toney's final opportunity to suit up during the preseason comes Sunday vs. the Jets, but New York is unlikely to thrust him onto the field barring a drastic change of comfort. The Giants open the regular season at Tennessee on Sept. 11.
New York Giants wide receiver Collin Johnson (leg) was carted off the practice field Wednesday due to an apparent right leg injury. Johnson is the latest Giants wideout to sustain an ailment, with the group already down Kadarius Toney (hamstring), Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and C.J. Board (ribs), while Sterling Shepard (Achilles) is still working his way back. Johnson recorded 11 catches for 105 yards over 12 games (one start) last season, pitching in as injuries decimated the team's depth chart. The high volume of players sidelined would elevate the DFS appeal of Kenny Golladay and Wan'Dale Robinson come Week 1, although Daniel Jones faces an uphill battle with so many weapons unavailable. Further updates on Johnson's status will be provided as they become available.
New York Giants wide receiver Collin Johnson (Achilles) tore his Achilles in training camp practice on Wednesday, according to the team. It's a tough break, as Johnson had impressed this summer and looked primed for serious playing time. Instead, he'll miss the entire 2022 campaign. In two preseason games, he caught 10 passes for 123 yards. It comes on the same day that the Giants reinstated Sterling Shepard, who tore his Achilles last year, from the Physically Unable to Perform list. New York's receiver room was decimated by injuries in 2021, so Johnson's injury is more of the same. Kadarius Toney (hamstring) has been slowed by an injury in camp, but he projects as the highest-upside Giants wideout with quarterback Daniel Jones back healthy this year.
The New York Giants placed tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (toe) on the season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Rookie linebacker Darrian Beavers (knee) and tight end Andre Miller (forearm) were also placed on IR. Offensive linemen Matt Peart (knee) and Nick Gates (leg) will begin on the Physically Unable to Perform list and will miss at least the first four games. With Seals-Jones now out for the year, it opens a clear path for rookie Daniel Bellinger to be the Giants top pass-catching tight end all year long. If the team's receivers can stay healthy this year, they should have enough options for quarterback Daniel Jones, though, so Bellinger is still mostly an option in dynasty/keeper leagues.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) ramped up his work at training camp practice last week as he recovers from a torn Achilles, and it looks like he will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before the start of the regular season. If Shepard doesn't come off the PUP list before Week 1, he'd be forced to sit out the first four games. However, even if the 29-year-old is ready for the season opener, he might not have much of a role alongside Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and rookie Wan'Dale Robinson. After playing in only seven games in 2021 due to injuries, Shepard is going to have to prove to fantasy managers this year that he's worth a roster spot in deeper leagues.
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton didn't play in the second preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after being limited all week with an undisclosed soft-tissue injury that he suffered in the preseason opener. The fourth-year wideout has a precarious hold on a roster spot at this time, and the Giants need to get him on the field for the preseason finale if they want to showcase him for a trade. The 25-year-old was working with the third-team offense in training camp practice a few weeks ago and is buried on the team's depth chart at the position. Slayton wasn't able to take advantage of all of the receiver injuries in 2021 and finished with a career-low 26 catches for 339 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games (five starts).

New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) exited Sunday's preseason matchup against Cincinnati with a knee issue. He will not return. Fortunately, the 2022 No. 5 overall pick was seen laughing and joking with teammates after the injury, so there's a good chance it isn't too serious. Nevertheless, the team should have an update on his condition soon. However, IDP managers, especially those in dynasty formats, shouldn't change a thing regarding his fantasy expectations, at least until more information is released.
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (concussion) exited Sunday's preseason matchup against Cincinnati for a concussion evaluation. The 35-year-old has been nearly automatic throughout his two years in New York, so being without him wouldn't be ideal for a team looking to improve on the offensive end. Nonetheless, an update on Gano's condition should come soon. However, head injuries are never good, making it realistic to believe the Giants could be without him for Week 1 and beyond.
New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) won't return to Sunday's preseason bout versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie suffered a knee injury in the first half and was quickly ruled out. Fortunately, he was seen laughing and joking with teammates after sustaining the injury. There's also optimism within the Giants' camp he avoided anything serious. Nevertheless, a definitive update should come soon. However, even if there is good news, Thibodeaux likely won't be seen again until the regular season.
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (concussion) won't return to Sunday's preseason showdown with Cincinnati due to a concussion. The veteran has been a reliable fantasy contributor over the years while remaining one of the few consistent members of the Giants' offense. An update on Gano's status should come soon. However, considering it's a head injury, there's a chance he won't be available for the Week 1 opener in Tennessee. Nonetheless, Punter Jamie Gillan came in for emergency relief, although the Giants will likely conduct a search for Gano's replacement if his prognosis isn't promising.
New York Giants first-round rookie defensive lineman Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) suffered a right knee injury in the preseason game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals and is going for tests on Monday. Thibodeaux was able to walk off the field under his own power, though, and there's optimism from the Giants that he avoided a major injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "I'll be back. We're good," Thibodeaux said after the game on Sunday. Before he left the game, the fifth overall pick played 15 defensive snaps, logging one tackle. Even if the 21-year-old pass rusher's injury isn't all that serious, it doesn't mean he'll be ready to go for the Week 1 regular season opener.
Initial tests on New York Giants rookie first-round defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) showed a sprained MCL that is expected to keep him out for three to four weeks, according to a source. The good news is that Thibodeaux's ACL and meniscus are intact. The Giants are hopeful that he'll be ready to play in the Week 1 regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans, according to a source. We're skeptical that the 21-year-old fifth overall pick will be ready for the regular season opener, and fantasy managers in IDP leagues should adjust accordingly. The good news is that the Giants won't lose Thibodeaux for a significant amount of time to begin his rookie season in the NFL.
New York Giants linebacker Darrian Beavers (knee) will miss the entirety of his rookie year after having sustained a torn ACL during Sunday's preseason win over the Bengals. Beavers was chosen in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of the University of Cincinnati, where he was a First-team All-AAC selection last year. The 23-year-old was expected to add depth to the team's linebacker position, a group that includes Blake Martinez and Tae Crowder. New York's rookie class alone took a significant blow in its second preseason game, as Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) will be on the shelf for 3-4 weeks with an MCL sprain, while offensive lineman Marcus McKethan (knee) endured a torn ACL of his own. The Giants' defense is firmly on the outside looking in of fantasy consideration in all formats this year.

New York Giants wide receiver Robert Foster (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve. The 28-year-old went down in practice and it appears his season is over before it begins. Foster hasn't taken a snap since he played in four games with the Washington Commanders in 2020. He was mainly rotational depth and a special teams player. That being said, the loss of Foster won't mean much for the Giants at wideout. Keelan Doss was expected to get released, but will remain with the team after the injury to Foster. Doss doesn't bring much to the table and is buried at his position, so he can be ignored in fantasy leagues.
