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 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.

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.

Giants HC Brian Daboll gave an update on WR Malik Nabers' ankle injury following Monday's practice. “They’re still doing evaluation on him but he's a little sore today, so we'll back off him and take it from there," Daboll said. “I don't think it's fractured. He just twisted up a little bit, wasn't on contact or anything like that.”

Giants WR Malik Nabers suffered an apparent left ankle injury in Sunday's training camp session, according to The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll. The team believes it's a "minor ankle sprain," Carroll adds, but Nabers is expected to undergo further testing.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich has had a healthy training camp so far. His speed and after-catch ability have caught the eye of OC Joe Lombardi.

Giants WR Malik Nabers' dominant training camp has continued in joint practices against the Lions over the past two days. He's caught 16 of 17 targets vs. Detroit's secondary. SNYtv's Connor Hughes says it's the best any receiver has looked in camp since he started covering the Giants and Jets in 2014. That stretch has included Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall, and Garrett Wilson.

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.

WR Malik Nabers has been the most impressive player at Giants camp so far, according to most accounts. The rookie has impressed with his downfield speed, route running, and hands.

Giants TE Theo Johnson (hip) passed a physical and was removed from the PUP list. The rookie made his training camp debut on Sunday.

TE Darren Waller has told the Giants that he will retire, according to both NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Jordan Ranaan. This confirms the news we passed along a little less than a week ago. It sets up Daniel Bellinger as the likeliest season-opening starter at TE, with rookie Theo Johnson competing for time. Neither makes for an exciting 2024 fantasy football option, though you could take a shot on either low in TE3 range of your best ball draft.
