Giants QB Daniel Jones wants to get TE Darren Waller the ball more going forward. “I think it’s important [he’s a bigger part of offense],” Jones said, via ESPN's Jordan Raanan. “He’s a talented player and poses a big threat for defenses. I have to do a better job of finding him and getting him the ball. I think there are just some opportunities that I have to get him the ball and give him a chance to make plays.” Jones was strangely invisible in the passing game for most of Monday night's loss to the Seahawks. Part of that was due to the Giants needing him to help out in pass protection. We'll see what HC Brian Daboll comes up with for a game plan vs. the Dolphins this weekend, but we'd expect more volume for Waller. He totaled a solid 20 targets over the first three games of the season.
Giants TE Darren Waller mustered just three catches for 20 scoreless yards in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. He led the team with seven targets for a 21.2% share. But Waller struggled creating separation against a strong 49ers defense and committed two bad drops, including one that ended up as a Talanoa Hufanga INT. The good news is that Waller won't face a tougher matchup than this the rest of the season. And he's drawn a 20.0% target share through three games. As long as that type of volume keeps coming, Waller remains a must-start.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the 49ers. Expect him to have a small role in his first game since last November’s torn ACL. We'll see how Robinson's usage evolves, but he's only an option in one-game DFS tournaments tonight.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. That's an upgrade from his "doubtful" status the first two weeks. ESPN's Jordan Raanan expects Robinson to play vs. San Francisco, which would be his first game since last November’s torn ACL. Robinson certainly isn't a Week 3 fantasy option, but we'll monitor his role.
Giants TE Darren Waller logged 6 catches on a team-leading 8 targets for 76 yards in Week 2’s win vs. the Cardinals. Veteran wideouts Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell received 6 targets in this contest, marking the second week in a row where the pair saw more involvement than their positional counterparts. The concentration of targets in New York is becoming more apparent as fantasy managers look ahead to Thursday night’s Week 3 game vs. the 49ers. Starting a Giants pass-catcher besides Waller in lineups would be bold outside of deeper leagues, though both Slayton and Campbell warrant further monitoring.
Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Parris Campbell will again operate as New York’s top three WRs.
The Broncos placed TE Greg Dulcich on IR with his hamstring injury. That knocks him out for at least the next four games and makes him droppable in most fantasy leagues. Adam Trautman will step in as Denver's lead TE but is unlikely to ascend beyond TE2 status.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He’s expected to miss multiple weeks with this hamstring injury. Adam Trautman should pick up some extra work with Dulcich out but would be a desperation fantasy play.
Giants Edge Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He did manage limited practices all week, so we'll see whether Ojulari can make it back for Week 3. Jihad Ward figures to join Kayvon Thibodeaux as the top edge players for the Giants. Ward has just 13 career sacks through seven seasons. There's upside to the Arizona matchup, but he's not worth the risk. Isaiah Simmons interestingly spent a little more than half of his defensive playing time on the edge in Week 1. He could factor more into the scheme against his old team. But he also played just 15 defensive snaps in the opener. He'd need a lot more playing time to be worth considering for your IDP lineup.
Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He got in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so it's safe to assume that he's still not at 100%. But Waller will be out there in Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals and is a strong fantasy play relative to the other options at TE.
Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He’s practiced the last two weeks, so we’ll see if he’s ready to make his 2023 debut in Week 3.
Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He told reporters afterward that he'll play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. It's safe to assume that Waller won't be at 100% for that one, but he remains a strong fantasy option at a shaky TE position.
Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, HC Brian Daboll said. Daboll added that Waller is "OK" and is just getting a veteran's day off. He's on track to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend, but it's safe to assume that Waller isn't yet at 100%.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the season opener, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's the same hamstring that cost Dulcich the first five games and final two games of last year, per Schefter. "Broncos will take it slow," Schefter adds. The news makes Dulcich droppable in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Adam Trautman is left as Denver's lead TE and posted a 5-34-0 line on five targets in the opener. He's worth waiver-wire consideration for TE-needy teams in deep fantasy leagues.
Giants TE Darren Waller led the team in receiving with 3 catches on 5 targets for 36 yards in Sunday night’s loss vs. the Cowboys. By halftime, this game was essentially over. There was little that QB Daniel Jones and company could do to kick the offense into gear. WR Darius Slayton matched Waller’s target total throughout the clobbering and tallied 3 catches for 15 yards for himself. There’s not much to draw from this loss. Fantasy managers should have a short memory and hope for a greater showing vs. the Cardinals in Week 2.
Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He was limited in Friday’s practice and listed as questionable with hamstring tightness. That obviously adds risk to Waller’s fantasy profile. But if you waited on him, get him in your starting lineup.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He put in three limited practices this week, so he’s seemingly close to his first game action since last November’s torn ACL. Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Parris Campbell figure to serve as New York’s top three WRs tonight.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich has been ruled out of Sunday's opener vs. the Raiders with a leg injury. We'll look for further details. His absence leaves Adam Trautman as Denver's clear-cut lead TE.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirms that Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) will play vs. the Cowboys tonight. "They will keep an eye on [the hamstring] during the game, but the expectation is that he will be a big part of their offense right away," Garafolo adds. Waller is safe to get into Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Cowboys tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Waller is officially listed as questionable after reportedly experiencing hamstring tightness late in the week. That obviously adds risk to his fantasy profile. But, barring a conflicting report on his status for tonight, Waller can stay in fantasy lineups.
