Likely catches 11 passes for 94 yards, two touchdowns in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 9.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: Likely was the clear focus of the game plan as a short range target in a callback to Week 1 when he posted an 8-78-2 line against the Cowboys. This could be a week to remember for other reasons if you have Likely, however, because he limped off late in the game. We'll be watching the practice reports to see what Likely's status will be for a Week 6 home game against the Saints. |

Winston throws for 326 yards, three touchdowns in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants QB Jameis Winston completed 33 of 54 passes for 326 yards with 3 touchdowns, ran 5 times for 27 yards and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 13.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.7.
| Footballguys view: Winston made multiple questionable decisions to help put the Giants in a 14-point fourth quarter hole, and then in typical fashion, he got the team all the way back with two scores to send the game to overtime. He probably would have gotten the win if Cam Skattebo hadn't fumbled in field goal range, but Jayden Daniels 'gaffe failing to stop the clock in field goal range with no timeouts left kept him from getting the loss. Winston is the quarterback of a first-place team heading into a Week 6 game against the Saints. He's worth a streaming QB1 look if you need someone from the wire to cover Joe Burrow or Jared Goff's bye next week. |

Nabers catches 11 passes for 121 yards, a touchdown in tie with Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 12.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.6.
| Footballguys view: Nabers hadn't put up much in the box score until Jameis Winston authored a pair of long touchdown drives to erase a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter. He was a big part of that effort and could have an even bigger target share next week against the Saints if Isaiah Likely is hurt after he limped off of the field late in this game. As long as Winston isn't benched for J.J. McCarthy, Nabers is back on track to have a big season with Winston's freewheeling style at the center of the offense. |

Giants QB J.J. McCarthy is the primary backup to QB Jameis Winston for Sunday's game against the Commanders, with the team opting to go with two active quarterbacks. QB Jake Haener is inactive as the third quarterback. RB Devin Singletary, S Jason Pinnock (concussion), CB Nikko Reed, DT Bobby Jamison-Travis and OT J.C. Davis are also inactive.

Giants | Expect 'a LOT' of Cam Skattebo against Commanders Sun Oct 11, 08:01 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo is expected to see "a LOT" of action in Sunday's game at Washington, according to a Sunday morning report. Skattebo, who had been dealing with a shoulder injury, was cleared to play on Friday.

Giants | Isaiah Likely cleared to play Sunday Fri Oct 9, 04:12 PM
Giants TE Isaiah Likely (knee/groin) carries no injury designation and is officially cleared to play in Sunday's game at the Commanders. Likely was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday with the knee and groin injuries before a full session Friday.
| Footballguys view: Likely is essentially operating as the team's WR2 behind Malik Nabers, giving him plenty of value as a fantasy TE1. This week could be a bit more volatile, as Washington weather is projected to be sloppy. Likely is second in targets among all tight ends, trailing only Trey McBride. If you've got Likely, you're probably starting him. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo cleared to play Sunday vs. Commanders Fri Oct 9, 04:12 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (shoulder) carries no injury designation and is officially cleared to play in Sunday's game at the Commanders. Skattebo was limited in practice earlier in the week and wore a red no-contact jersey because of the shoulder injury before shedding it Thursday.
| Footballguys view: It's good that Skattebo cleared the injury report, but he hasn't looked like the player who took the league by storm last year. Especially as he manages this injury, expect Najee Harris to get extra work. This game against the Commanders has a wet, windy forecast, so the Giants could lean toward a run-heavy game plan. Skattebo is a solid RB2, while Harris is a fringe RB3. |

Giants | Malik Nabers (knee) practicing Friday, 'looking ready to go' for Sunday Fri Oct 9, 12:08 PM
Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was practicing on Friday and is "looking ready to go" for Sunday's game at the Commanders. Nabers was limited in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is proving his toughness this year, returning early from an ACL tear and playing through a torn shoulder labrum. He didn't practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday, but you can start him as a WR1 against a susceptible Commanders secondary. |

Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was participating in the open portion of practice on Thursday. Nabers did not practice on Wednesday, when he said his knee was "more sore than usual" and "we'll see" about his availability for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Nabers was sore earlier in the week, but a limited participation practice on Thursday is a good sign. Up against the Commanders in Week 5, we've got Nabers in the WR2 range in terms of projections. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo out of non-contact jersey Thursday Thu Oct 8, 01:38 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (shoulder) was out of the non-contact jersey at practice on Thursday. Skattebo was limited in a non-contact jersey on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: He was limited on Thursday, but getting out of the non-contact jersey shows he's on track to play. Against the Commanders in Week 5, we like Skattebo as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Giants WR Malik Nabers said on Wednesday that he is "sore," more sore than usual, and did as much as he could at practice. Nabers said "we'll see" when asked whether it will affect his ability to play Sunday against the Commanders, but added that he usually gets better as the week progresses. Nabers spent time in the rehab area during Wednesday's practice.

Giants | Giants promote Jake Haener to 53-man roster, McCarthy likely to take over as QB2 'soon' Wed Oct 7, 12:41 PM
The Giants are signing QB Jake Haener to their 53-man roster off their practice squad, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported on Wednesday. Haener joins QB J.J. McCarthy on the active roster behind starter Jameis Winston. The move will enable the Giants to activate all three quarterbacks again, although it is more likely that McCarthy takes over as QB2 soon and Haener becomes the emergency third quarterback.

Giants | Winston throws for 250 yards, three touchdowns in win over Cardinals Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
New York Giants QB Jameis Winston completed 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 13.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.0.
| Footballguys view: Winston has a good matchup with Washington next week coming off of this performance that was much more reminiscent of the style of play that has made him a fantasy football cult hero after two games when he looked feeble throwing the ball. The Commanders pass defense was much improved against a shorthanded Colts passing game in London this week, but Winston should still be worth a QB2/Superflex look in Week 5. The Cardinals defense has been generous after the Chargers stumbled out of the gate against them in Week 1, and the Lions offense will get to take aim at them next week. |

Giants | Nabers catches 6 passes for 112 yards, a touchdown in win over Cardinals Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 6 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.2.
| Footballguys view: Nabers caught a jump ball on the first drive and came up holding his oft-injured shoulder, but returned later in the drive. He was the biggest beneficiary of freewheeling Jameis Winston's return, and since the Giants won, hopefully Winston's hold on the starting quarterback job is getting tighter even though he wasn't as careful with the ball today as John Harbaugh would like. We'll see if Nabers ends up on the injury report because of the shoulder, but otherwise this is exactly what you wanted if you have been weathering the storm with him. |

Giants | Jameis Winston starts Sunday, says 'I have to play well regardless' of McCarthy Thu Oct 1, 04:31 PM
Giants QB Jameis Winston will start Sunday's game against the Cardinals despite the team trading for QB J.J. McCarthy this week. "I mean, I have to play well regardless," Winston said Thursday. "It doesn't matter who's in the building. When you're the quarterback for the New York Football Giants, you have to give your team a chance to win, and that's just the business that we're in."
| Footballguys view: The Giants traded for McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, and he's likely to start at some point in the future. After struggling in relief of QB Jaxson Dart in Week 2 (Dart has since been ruled out for the season), Winston avoided turnovers while going 14-of-22 for 118 yards in last Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans. Winston starts while McCarthy gets used to his new team/offense/teammates. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart's knee surgery found no surprises, playoff return 'a little ambitious' Wed Sep 30, 09:09 PM
Giants QB Jaxson Dart's left knee surgery on Friday did not uncover anything more than the expected damage to his meniscus, PCL and MCL. "I think it was as expected. I think they saw what they thought they were going to see and just fixed it. The timeline doesn't really change too much," head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday. Dart's recovery is expected to take four to six months, and Harbaugh said of a possible return by the playoffs, "Maybe that's a little ambitious."

WR Odell Beckham Jr. is being released by Giants Tue Sep 29, 01:16 PM
Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. is being released by New York after three games, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.
| Footballguys view: Beckham was a nonfactor to this point, logging 20 snaps in three games after re-signing with the Giants this summer. The three-time Pro Bowler is second in Giants franchise history in receiving yards. The move left only three WRs on New York's 53-man roster -- Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, and Darnell Mooney) --before the team signed WR/PR Braxton Berrios and WR Charlie Jones from their practice squad. |

Giants | McCarthy No. 2 or 3 QB; Winston to start 'as long as I can see into the future,' Mon Sep 28, 03:59 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy will be the team's No. 2 or No. 3 quarterback this week.
| Footballguys view: Asked about McCarthy's ability to compete for the starting job, head coach John Harbaugh said the team's goal is to win the next game. QB Jameis Winston will start this week and "as long as I can see into the future," Harbaugh said, though when asked how long, he said, "Nobody knows." Winston might have a say in this. Fewer interceptions than have been his historic norm would be a good starting point. |

Giants | Vikings trade J.J. McCarthy to Giants for 2027 fifth-round pick Mon Sep 28, 12:12 PM
The Vikings are trading QB J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick. Minnesota saves over $4.6 million in cash and cap space and gets an unconditional fifth-rounder that could land in the top 150 depending on how the Giants finish.
| Footballguys view: New York adds the former first-round pick with QB Jaxson Dart out for the regular season. McCarthy had been demoted to third-string in Minnesota, and Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Sunday that "all options are open" at quarterback. But Harbaugh told reporters that Jameis Winston will remain the team's starting quarterback even as they explored all options. Winston continuing as the starter makes sense in the short term, but this is a situation worth watching as the season progresses. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo 'clearly RB1', Najee Harris takes over as RB2 in win over Titans Mon Sep 28, 09:18 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo was "clearly RB1" in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans and took over as the third-down back with RB Devin Singletary a healthy scratch, though he averaged 3 yards per carry and lost a fumble out of bounds, his second fumble in three games.
| Footballguys view: The Athletic's Dan Duggan added that RB Najee Harris "has quickly taken over as RB2" and ran nine times for 52 yards, while RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. was active because he is the only back who plays special teams. Meanwhile, Skattebo sits at RB19 in Dave Kluge's Rest of Season Rankings -- which is in line with his draft value. We'll see if Harris can cut further into his workload in the coming weeks. |

Giants | Brian Burns suffers torn ACL, will miss rest of 2026 season Mon Sep 28, 07:48 AM
Giants DE Brian Burns suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's game against the Titans and will miss the rest of the 2026 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Burns ranked second in the NFL in sacks (16.5) last season behind Myles Garrett. He is likely to finish this year with zero after recording at least 7.5 in each of his first seven NFL seasons. His loss would be a massive blow to a Giants defense that has just one sack this season. |

Giants | Likely held to 2 catches for 13 yards in win over Titans Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 13 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.3.
| Footballguys view: Likely started out the season two scores and the look of a player who would be one of the best picks this at his position. Since then, the Giants lost Jaxson Dart and the passing game has been poor with Jameis Winston at the helm. Likely is still a good fantasy play against the Cardinals, who just gave up two scores to George Kittle in Week 3. |

Giants | Harbaugh expects Winston to start Week 4 regardless of QB additions Sun Sep 27, 04:59 PM
Giants QB Jameis Winston is expected to remain the starter in Week 4 against the Cardinals, head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans. Harbaugh said Winston did what was "required and necessary" to win in rainy conditions, as he completed 14-of-22 passes for 118 yards and rushed twice for 14 yards without a turnover. Numerous reports have indicated the Giants plan to add one or two quarterbacks this week, but Harbaugh made it clear Winston will start against Arizona.
| Footballguys view: The weather wasn't exactly conducive to the passing game, but Winston didn't do anything to dispel the notion that the team is in the market to add another quarterback. The days of Winston coming off of the bench to invigorate the fantasy value of a passing game are probably over, but the matchup against the Cardinals next week has been good for opposing offenses the last two weeks. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart to undergo full meniscus repair Friday, 4-6 month recovery expected Fri Sep 25, 10:36 AM
Giants QB Jaxson Dart will undergo knee surgery on Friday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported. Dart will have a full meniscus repair, the primary injury, and the surgeon will also address his MCL and PCL if necessary. His recovery timeline is expected to be four-to-six months, meaning he could possibly return for the postseason if New York qualifies.
| Footballguys view: Dart looked calm and collected in Week 1 of his sophomore season, but it came to an end abruptly in Week 2. John Harbaugh optimistically mentioned a postseason return, but that's unlikely given the state of the roster. Dart is droppable in all redraft formats. For rebuilding dynasty rosters, he's a strong buy. |

Giants WR Malik Nabers (shoulder) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday, September 24.
| Footballguys view: Nabers feels good about his availability for Week 3. We'd feel better if Jaxson Dart was still healthy, and backup QB Jameis Winston needs to play better (and feed Nabers as much as possible). We like Nabers as a WR2/flex play with upside against the Titans in Week 3. |

Giants | Malik Nabers says shoulder X-rays were good, 'I'll be fine' for Titans game Thu Sep 24, 03:36 PM
Giants WR Malik Nabers said on Thursday that X-rays on his right shoulder came back with good results and said "I'll be fine" when asked about his outlook for Sunday's game against the Titans. "Good result. I'm smiling, I'm out there, playing, catching the ball, so good results," Nabers said, via SNY. Nabers hurt the shoulder in Monday night's loss to the Rams but returned to the game, and he was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. He has dealt with previous shoulder issues but declined to say whether this injury was related.
| Footballguys view: Nabers missed one drive in Week 2 with this shoulder injury, and he caught 1-of-4 targets for one yard in the Giants' Week 2 loss to the Rams. We'll see if QB Jameis Winston can play better football and target Nabers early and often. Nabers looks good for the game against the Titans, and that makes him a WR2/flex play with upside for Fantasy GMs in Week 3. |

Giants | Winston: starting QB role 'is what I dream of' as he takes over for Dart Thu Sep 24, 10:00 AM
Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com reports that Giants QB Jameis Winston is set to remain the starter after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury, beginning with Week 3 against the Titans. Winston called the opportunity to start nearly a full season for the first time since leaving the Buccaneers after 2019 "a beautiful opportunity," saying, "This is what I've always dreamed of, to be a starting quarterback... I dream of being what I am right now and executing at a high level." Winston struggled in Monday night's loss to the Rams after replacing Dart, but said he is 'very confident in my ability to execute with precision' going forward. The Giants also face the Cardinals and Commanders in the next three weeks.
| Footballguys view: Winston looked like a soccer correspondent more than a veteran quarterback a week ago. He's got to play better this week against the Titans if he wants his dream to continue. The Giants could be interested in a free agent like Jimmy Garoppolo, and there are some suggesting they could make a trade for someone like Mac Jones (49ers) or Gardner Minshew (Cardinals). |

Giants | Giants reportedly pursuing QB Jimmy Garoppolo after Dart's knee injury Thu Sep 24, 09:47 AM
Ed Valentine of SBNation.com reports that the New York Giants are pursuing free agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo following starter Jaxson Dart's knee injury. Dart is set to undergo surgery and is expected to miss time, with Jameis Winston taking over as the Giants' starting quarterback. Valentine notes there could be mutual interest between the Giants and Garoppolo, who is not currently on an active roster.
| Footballguys view: Garoppolo is a free agent who is interested in playing in the right situation. The Giants currently have Jameis Winston as their starter with Jake Haener working as the no.2 quarterback. There's buzz about them potentially looking to trade for someone like Gardner Minshew II (Cardinals) or Mac Jones (49ers). Winston did not look good last week after Dart was injured. We'll see if Winston can redeem himself this week against the Titans in Week 3. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart to have season-ending surgery Wed Sep 23, 12:03 PM
Giants QB Jaxson Dart is expected to have knee surgery that will lead to a full recovery but end his 2026 season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: The knee injury is to his MCL and PCL (not his ACL), but it should end his season, even though Giants HC John Harbaugh kept the door open for a late-season return. The Giants have Jameis Winston as their starter, and that means they could be leaning on the ground game more than before. Winston is only a fantasy option at this time in superflex leagues. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart's injury worse than first believed; could be season-ending Tue Sep 22, 03:16 PM
Jaxson Dart's knee injury is more severe than initially anticipated, and the New York Giants quarterback could miss the rest of the season, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: Dart suffered the injury during the opening possession of Monday's 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. "Right now, evaluations are ongoing," head coach John Harbaugh said on Tuesday. "We haven't got any final decisions yet; we've learned a lot more." But sources told Rapoport and Garafolo that the second-year star will miss an extended period of time and is facing the possibility of season-ending surgery. With Dart sidelined, the Giants turned to Jameis Winston, who completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards and an interception against the Rams. Now, it's Winston's job for the foreseeable future. |

Giants | Nabers' quiet game vs. Rams may stem from shoulder injury, not coverage Tue Sep 22, 12:14 AM
Yahoo Sports examines whether Giants WR Malik Nabers' subdued performance in the Week 2 loss to the Rams was due to a shoulder injury rather than standout coverage.
| Footballguys view: Nabers said after the game that his shoulder was "OK," but that he had to "pop it back in" during the contest and was scheduled for X-rays. It's fair to believe his one-catch, 1-yard output (on four targets) could be tied to that injury rather than the opposing secondary's play. In addition, Nabers played most of the game with Jameis Winston at quarterback after starter Jaxson Dart was injured on the Giants' first series. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart set for MRI Tuesday on sprained knee Tue Sep 22, 12:01 AM
Giants QB Jaxson Dart is expected to undergo an MRI on Tuesday once the team returns to its facility following the Week 2 game.

The Giants have signaled that they expect Dart to be OK, though the results of Tuesday's MRI will provide more clarity on the severity of the injury. If it is an MCL sprain, a four-to-six week timetable is a good starting point. Jameis Winston will start at quarterback in Dart's absence. |

Isaiah Likely paced the Giants with eight catches -- the most by any Giants tight end in nearly three years -- with two going for touchdowns in Sunday night's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: His 27.8 fantasy points led the position through Sunday night, and, as ESPN's Tristan Cockcroft suggests, are an indicator that he'll be involved enough to be a weekly TE1. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart delivers huge game vs. Cowboys Mon Sep 14, 11:19 AM
Jaxson Dart had 230 passing yards and three passing touchdowns, plus 54 yards rushing in Sunday night's 28-20 win over the Cowboys. Dart is the third quarterback in Giants history with three passing touchdowns and 50 rushing yards in a game, according to ESPN Research.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan noted, Dart was in control throughout, running and throwing with precision. The chemistry that Dart showed all summer with new tight end Isaiah Likely translated to the opener. Likely caught eight passes on eight targets for 78 yards with two touchdowns and helped ice the game late with two big third-down receptions. Dart was QB5 through the end of Sunday night. |

Giants | Malik Nabers decided to play during warmups Mon Sep 14, 11:17 AM
WR Malik Nabers made his first appearance in the Giants' lineup in almost a year when he took the field against the Cowboys on Sunday night. After the 28-20 win, Nabers said he was up in the air all the way through pregame warmups and that he told his family not to come to the game because he didn't want to disappoint them by not playing. "The deciding factor was just when I got out there, I just felt good," Nabers said after the game.
| Footballguys view: Nabers tore his ACL last September and he remained noncommittal about playing all the way through the week. Jaxson Dart said in his press conference that head coach John Harbaugh tackled Nabers during a walkthrough earlier in the weekend to show the wideout that he was ready. Nabers finished the day with six catches for 69 yards and the Giants will be looking for even bigger numbers now that he's got the first game back under his belt. |

Giants | Malik Nabers draws a questionable designation for Week 1 Fri Sep 11, 05:00 PM
The Giants are listing WR Malik Nabers as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Nabers may be headed towards the dreaded Sunday Night Football game-time decision. If we don't get clarity on his availability before the early slate of games kicks off, managers should look at players available for Sunday and Monday night as potential pivots. Malachi Fields and Ryan Flournoy may be available as last-minute swaps. Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims, and Cyrus Allen are all in play for Monday night. And for managers with the luxury of moving Nabers into their flex, Najee Harris and Jonah Coleman are also options to look for. While the Giants' medical staff has cleared Nabers to play, Nabers himself said he "can't put [his] career at risk" when asked about his Week 1 status. We'll update as soon as we have more information. If he's active, you start him. Let's hope he's active. |

Giants | WR Nabers 'on track to play' vs Cowboys Thu Sep 10, 04:17 PM
Adam Schefter, from ESPN, reports New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) is "on track to play" in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: On Wednesday, Nabers told reporters that he can decide whether he suits up or sits out in Week 1 against the Cowboys. If Nabers does play, there's no telling if he's going to be on a snap count. That makes him more of a WR2/flex play in Week 1. |

Giants | Malik Nabers works fully in Wednesday's practice Wed Sep 9, 04:37 PM
New York Giants HC John Harbaugh said WR Malik Nabers was a full participant in today's practice ahead of Sunday night's opener against the Cowboys.

Giants | Cam Skattebo #1 RB, Darnell Mooney #2 WR on new team unofficial depth chart Tue Sep 8, 02:01 PM
Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports that on the Giants new unofficial depth chart Cam Skattebo is RB1, with Tyrone Tracy -OR- Najee Harris -OR- Devin Singletary as RB2. Darnell Mooney is listed as the #2 receiver with Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham Jr. listed as backups.
| Footballguys view: While it's no surprise that Skattebo is the starter here, the fact that Harris has already worked his way into a three-way tie with Tracy and Singletary is noteworthy. Remember, The Athletic's Dan Duggan suggested earlier this week that Harris is not only ready for the No. 2 spot, but also that "it wouldn't surprise him if Harris becomes the lead back at some point this season." We're not there yet -- and Skattebo gets a vote with his play on Sundays, but it's a situation to watch. |

Giants | ESPN Insider believes Nabers 'good to go' for Week 1 Tue Sep 8, 01:07 PM
Dan Graziano said on Get Up ESPN on September 8 that WR Malik Nabers has been a "pleasant surprise" and showed up for camp ahead of where they thought he would be in recovery from two knee surgeries stemming from an injury he suffered on September 28, 2025. Graziano said Nabers has "passed every test" and played without the red non-contact jersey for "weeks" so "It sounds like [Malik Nabers is] going to be good to go for Sunday night."
| Footballguys view: Others agree. Connor Hughes of SNY.tv advised viewers that it would "take a setback" for Nabers to miss Week 1. Graziano's colleague, Jordan Raanan, who covers the team on a daily basis, characterized the report as "informed speculation" before adding that Nabers is clearly trending in a positive direction. The Giants are off Tuesday and return to practice Wednesday. We'll be watching for more on Nabers then. |

Giants | Three teams reportedly interested in signing Darius Slayton Tue Sep 8, 12:24 AM
The Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday, making him a free agent. Slayton said in a social media post that he is "excited to see what's next." Josina Anderson of Exhibit News Network reports that three teams have already reached out to Slayton's representation for preliminary discussions.
| Footballguys view: Anderson mentioned the Colts as a potential destination, given Slayton's relationship with quarterback Daniel Jones. Slayton spent seven seasons in New York, the longest-tenured Giants player before his release. He was a fifth-round pick of the Giants in 2019, four rounds after the team drafted Jones. Slayton and Jones played together six seasons. Slayton caught 37 passes for 538 yards and one touchdown last season. |

Giants | WR Darius Slayton released Mon Sep 7, 05:08 PM
The Giants released veteran WR Darius Slayton.
| Footballguys view: The 2019 fifth-round pick moves on after 296 catches in 106 games over seven seasons in East Rutherford. As NFL insider Jordan Schultz noted, Slayton has quietly become one of the more productive wideouts the Giants have had, ranking top 15 all-time in club history in both catches and yards. Slayton was also the team's longest-tenured player. |

Giants | OG Runyan Jr. gets two-year extension Mon Sep 7, 01:08 AM
After extending quarterback Jameis Winston by two years, the Giants signed guard Jon Runyan Jr. to a two-year, $22 million extension. Runyan's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, announced the contract. Runyan is now under contract through 2028.
| Footballguys view: Runyan was a sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2020. After four years with the Packers (three as a full-time starter), he signed with the Giants. He has been a full-time starter for New York since 2024. He is expected to be the starting left guard next Sunday night, when the Giants host the Cowboys on the first Sunday night of the new year. |
Giants | Beat writer 'confident' Skattebo is team RB1 to open season, wouldn't be surprised if Harris takes over at some point Sun Sep 6, 05:30 PM
Dan Duggan of The Athletic wrote that he is confident Cam Skattebo will be the No. 1 back for the Giants season opener vs. Cowboys, and he is not sure if the team sees free agent pickup Najee Harris as ready for the No. 2 job in Week 1, but that his sense is that it "won't be long" until Harris is the No. 2 back. After that, Duggan writes that it "wouldn't surprise (him) if Harris becomes the lead back at some point this season".
| Footballguys view: This is reassuring if you are deciding whether to put Skattebo in your Week 1 lineup, but a bit concerning if you were planning on counting on him as a starter all season. Skattebo left Tyrone Tracy in the dust last season, but Najee Harris is a proven perennial 1,000-yard rusher that Giants run game architect Greg Roman loves from their brief time together with the Chargers last year. Harris should be rostered in most leagues, even if he is an inactive in Week 1, which Duggan thinks is possible. |
