Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins to be checked for a concussion.
Update: Robinson cleared concussion protocol and has returned to the game.
Giants QB Daniel Jones suffered a neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins and was quickly ruled out. Jones missed the final six games of the 2021 season with a neck injury. We'll update this current injury when we know more. QB Tyrod Taylor replaced Jones vs. Miami.
Giants LB Micah McFadden (ankle) is inactive for today's game against the Dolphins.
Giants LB Micah McFadden is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He suffered an ankle injury during the practice week that limited his participation Thursday and Friday. We'll check his status Sunday morning.
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 QB Daniel Jones experienced yet another dreadful primetime nightmare. He was sacked a career-high 10 times, threw 2 INTs, and lost a fumble in Week 4 vs. the Seahawks. Including Monday night, Jones has recorded less than 10 fantasy points in three of four games. It’s fairly evident that the Giants’ offensive line has a lot of issues, and being without RB Saquon Barkley doesn’t help. Still, it’s going to be difficult to trust him in 1QB leagues at any point soon. Their next two games are against the Dolphins in Week 5 and the Bills in Week 6, neither of which are appealing matchups.
Chargers RB Joshua Kelley carried just 11 times for 12 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings. The team went extremely pass-heavy, dropping QB Justin Herbert back on 75.8% of offensive snaps. Despite leading the backfield in routes (13), Kelley tied for just sixth on the team in that category. Kelley tripled the snap count of No. 2 RB Isaiah Spiller, with Austin Ekeler out. But he spent much of his day blocking. Even if Ekeler remains out in Week 4, Kelley will be tough to like against the Raiders after consecutive duds. This week should have been at least a decent spot for him, against a Minnesota team that D'Andre Swift and the Eagles brutalized in Week 2.
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 QB Daniel Jones not surprisingly struggled vs. the 49ers on Thursday night. He completed 22 of 32 passes (68.8%) but totaled just 137 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) with 0 TDs and one INT. New York got nothing going downfield (where's Jalin Hyatt?). And Jones didn't get much help from his pass-catchers. TE Darren Waller was particularly bad, dropping at least two passes, including one that resulted in Jones' INT. It was also disappointing to see Jones finish with just five yards on two carries. It was a massive fantasy dud -- but hopefully you weren't counting on Jones against this elite 49ers defense. He has much more doable matchups the next two weeks vs. the Seahawks and Dolphins.
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 QB Daniel Jones completed 26 of 37 attempts for 321 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Week 2’s comeback victory vs. the Cardinals. He also added 59 yards on 9 carries with a rushing TD in the contest. It’s concerning that New York found themselves down 20-0 at halftime against a Cardinals team that’s broadly considered to be the worst in the NFL. Even so, the offense found life and pulled out the victory over the final two quarters. On top of the real-life success, Jones delivered a significantly better performance (30.7 points) that may see him finish as the QB1 for the week. He’ll have a tough test in Week 3 as the Giants travel on the road to face the 49ers.
Chargers RB Joshua Kelley recorded 13 attempts for 39 rushing yards in Week 2 vs. the Titans. Fantasy managers hoping to stream the young back as a replacement for Austin Ekeler (ankle) are likely disappointed by the results of Sunday’s OT loss. Kelley’s heavy involvement in Week 1 still makes him worthy of rostering in deeper leagues, but those in 10 or 12-team leagues can justify throwing him back into the waiver pool. Keep track of the injury reports this week to see if Ekeler will return for next Sunday’s contest vs. the Vikings.
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.
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%.
