New York Giants Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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 Malik Nabers caught eight passes on 12 targets for 78 yards and two TDs. He even threw an incomplete pass in the game as the jack-of-all-trades weapon for the Giants win against the Cleveland Browns

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 Edge Brian Burns is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns with a groin injury. But NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he "should be good to go." Burns remains a low-level option for IDP lineups amid a slow start to his first Giants season.

The Giants added Edge Brian Burns to the injury report Friday after a groin injury limited his practice time. He's now questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. LB Darius Muasau (knee) is also questionable after three limited practices. If Muasau winds up inactive, it would mean more playing time for LB Micah McFadden. He went from not playing in the opener to seeing 79% snap share with Muasau inactive in Week 2.

The Giants signed K Greg Joseph off the Lions' practice squad. He'll replace K Graham Gano, who injured his groin on the opening kickoff of Week 2. Gano is expected to miss multiple weeks, according to HC Brian Daboll. But you should be able to do better than Joseph as your fantasy kicker.

Giants WR Malik Nabers drew 18 targets on 28 Daniel Jones pass attempts in the Week 2 loss to the Commanders. That's a massive 64.3% target share. The rookie turned that volume into 10 catches, 127 yards, and his first career TD. Nabers was running free against a bad Washington secondary all game long, and Jones was accurate for the most part. Nabers did have a bad drop on fourth down late in the fourth quarter that potentially cost the Giants the game. But fantasy owners have nothing to complain about after this big game.

Giants K Graham Gano suffered a groin injury on the opening kickoff of Sunday's game vs. the Commanders and is doubtful to return. We'll see who handles kicking duties for New York the rest of the way, but we'll likely see them going for two after TDs.

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.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. After being added on Thursday and limited in practice with a knee, he was a full participant in Friday's workout. The rookie should be ready for a full workload in Sunday's pristine matchup vs. the Commanders.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Friday that he has “no concern” about the knee issue that landed WR Malik Nabers on Thurday's injury report. Nabers said his knee didn’t “feel right” during practice yesterday, according to Daboll, so the team played it safe in limiting him in practice. Daboll added that he expects Nabers to practice fully on Friday and play against the 49ers on Sunday.

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.

Giants WR Malik Nabers caught five of seven targets for 66 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. He was the second most targeted player on Giants, behind WR Wan'Dale Robinson who caught 6 of his 12 targets in the game.

The Packers expected starting Kicker Greg Joseph has been released by the Packers. They signed rookie Brayden Narveson who spent the preseason with the Tennessee Titans. Narveson should be the starter for the Packers.

Per Giants beat writer Dan Duggan, QB Daniel Jones “has looked so good physically this summer that his return to game action doesn't seem like a big deal.” Jones is set to make his preseason debut today vs. Houston.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (ankle) will practice on Thursday and "has a chance" to play in Saturday's preseason game, HC Brian Daboll said. Nabers suffered a minor ankle injury four days ago.

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (ankle) was back on the practice field and participating in individual drills on Thursday, just two days after being carted off the field with an air cast on his leg. "Looks fine," The Athletic's Dan Duggan tweeted.

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy escaped with merely a low-ankle sprain after leaving the practice field on a cart with an air cast on his right leg, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (ankle) told the media Tuesday that he has "no doubt" he'll be ready for Week 1. Nabers remained sidelined for practice but was on the sidelines without any protection on that injured ankle. He added that he was able to do some jogging without a wrap on his ankle.

Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy left practice Tuesday morning on a cart and with an air cast on his right ankle, according to multiple reports. He will undergo imaging at the Hospital for Special Surgery. We're awaiting word on the specifics of his injury.
