Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll play against the Bucs this weekend. Tampa Bay ranks 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, but Slayton would be a desperation fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He figures to be replaced by WR Jalin Hyatt, who’s only a flier in DFS tournaments. Hyatt has drawn a target on just 8% of his routes this season. (Slayton is at 15% for comparison.)
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get back on the practice field tomorrow to have a chance to play vs. the Panthers in Germany on Sunday. At this point, fantasy owners should not be counting on having Slayton for Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Giants WR Darius Slayton sustained a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Commanders. It's his second concussion of the season, with the first coming in the opener. We'll track Slayton's progress through the protocol this coming week, but consider him no better than 50/50 to play vs. the Panthers next Sunday morning in Germany.
Giants WR Malik Nabers returned from a two-game concussion for Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He managed just 4 receptions and 41 yards and even trailed WR Wan'Dale Robinson by 1 target. But Nabers' 8 still accounted for 27.6% of the Giants' total pass attempts. That included 28.6% of QB Daniel Jones' 21 attempts; 25% of replacement QB Drew Lock's eight throws.
Giants WR Darius Slayton was fine in Week 6, tallying 6 receptions for 57 yards in the Sunday night loss to the Bengals. His 11 targets tied WR Wan'Dale Robinson for the team lead, beating his next-nearest teammate by five.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) is out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bengals. He's yet to practice after sustaining a concussion 15 days ago. We'll see if Nabers can get cleared for Week 7's game vs. the Eagles. His absence this weekend again leaves Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton as New York's top two WRs. They accounted for 20 of the team's 34 targets last week.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. With multiple stages of the protocol to pass through still, he's unlikely to be cleared in time for Sunday night's game vs. the Bengals. We'll update Nabers' status again tomorrow but are removing him from the Week 6 Rankings for now. Nabers' absence boosts the target projections for WRs Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.
Giants WR Darius Slayton racked up 122 yards and a TD on 8 receptions in Sunday's win over the Seahawks. He drew 11 targets -- 32.4% of QB Daniel Jones' total attempts -- to lead the team, with rookie WR Malik Nabers (concussion) out.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) is out for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks, HC Brian Daboll said Friday morning. Nabers has made slower-than-usual progress through the protocol, although he's still a good bet to be cleared in time for Week 6's game vs. the Bengals. Nabers leaves behind a whopping 36% of the Giants' targets. WR Wan'Dale Robinson, who's already averaging 9.5 targets per game on a 26% share, could add a bit more volume on Sunday. Ditto for WRs Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt, who figures to pick up most of Nabers' departed snaps. But Robinson is the only Giants WR we'd feel comfortable using in Week 5 fantasy lineups.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) will not practice on Thursday, HC Brian Daboll said. The rookie is now a long shot to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks, a sentiment echoed by ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (thumb) is active for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys. Slayton has played 80% of New York's offensive snaps but drawn just 10 targets on a 9.5% share through three games. He's only in play in one-game DFS contests.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (thumb) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We're tentatively expecting Slayton to play. If he doesn't, Jalin Hyatt would step in as New York's No. 3 WR. This situation should only be impacting your DFS showdown lineups.
Giants WR Darius Slayton is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Browns with a thumb injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Slayton's absence should mean more snaps for WR Jalin Hyatt.
Giants WR Darius Slayton has cleared concussion protocol and will play vs. the Commanders this weekend. He ran well ahead of WR Jalin Hyatt in the opener, registering a 79% route rate. You shouldn’t need to use Slayton in season-long lineups, but he could be a cheap DFS tournament flier in Sunday’s plus matchup.
The Giants added WR Malik Nabers to the practice report as limited Thursday with a knee injury. That indicates he hurt the joint in practice. We'll watch for more details on the issue and the rookie's Week 2 outlook.
Giants WR Darius Slayton is in concussion protocol, HC Brian Daboll said Monday. Slayton finished second among Giants WRs in snaps and routes in the opener, catching three of four targets for 26 yards. His absence would leave Jalin Hyatt as the primary outside WR opposite Malik Nabers. But this is a situation to avoid after QB Daniel Jones' poor Week 1.
The Athletic's Dan Duggan notes that Giants WR Jalin Hyatt "has been getting more reps with the starters than [Darius] Slayton in camp." That's notable after Slayton remained ahead of Hyatt on the depth chart throughout last season.
Giants HC Brian Daboll has been calling plays on offense so far this offseason, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. OC Mike Kafka handled those duties over the past two years. The team hasn't officially announced the change, but it looks like it'll be Daboll at the controls this season.
Giants QB Tyrod Taylor will start this weekend's game vs. the Rams, HC Brian Daboll said. Taylor played reasonably well in relief of QB Tommy DeVito in Philadelphia on Monday, throwing for 133 yards, one TD, and one INT in the second half. He completed 64% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt with two TDs and 0 INTs in starts against the Bills and Commanders earlier this season. Taylor is just a low-end QB2 for Week 17, but he should bring more stability to the offense than DeVito.
