Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. headed to IR with hamstring injury, 'down four games' Tue Oct 27, 01:55 PM
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. is being placed on injured reserve with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Texans, GM Joe Schoen told reporters during his bye-week press conference on Tuesday. Schoen said it is not a long-term injury, but Tracy will miss four games.
| Footballguys view: Cam Skattebo is dealing with a minor hamstring issue that is expected to heal over the off week. Assuming he's fully healthy, Skattebo could benefit from more work in the passing game, in addition to the slight bump in snaps that is also likely to come. Devin Singletary will also benefit. |

Giants | Isaiah Likely says he's OK after hobbling through second half Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants TE Isaiah Likely said he was OK after hobbling at times through the second half of Sunday's win over the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Houston. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2. The Giants head into their bye with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. |

Giants | Tyrone Tracy's hamstring injury doesn't seem 'anything serious' Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s hamstring injury did not seem like anything serious after Sunday's win over the Texans. Tracy left the game with the hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. The Giants head into their bye with multiple players dealing with apparently minor issues. We'll be monitoring their status as developments warrant. |

Giants | Skattebo felt hamstring on long OT run but 'avoided straining it' Sun Oct 25, 06:44 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo felt his hamstring on his long run in overtime of Sunday's win over the Texans, but he avoided straining it.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards. He was RB11 through Sunday's late-afternoon window. As The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported, the mood in the Giants' locker room after the game was one of relief that the bye is here, with a lot of players banged up and fighting through injuries. We'll be following up on all of them as developments warrant. |

Giants | Skattebo felt something in his hamstring, 'Good thing we have a bye week' Sun Oct 25, 04:38 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo said after Sunday's win over the Texans that he felt something in his hamstring on the run that set up RB Devin Singletary's game-winning touchdown. Skattebo said he was not sliding on purpose, but knew the Giants were in field-goal range so he slid. "Good thing we have a bye week," Skattebo said.

Giants | Skattebo runs for 124 yards, one TD in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran stronger as the game went on, and his 42-yard run in overtime set up the Giants to win before Devin Singletary finished the game with a 30-yard touchdown run. It looked like Skattebo did pull up on that last run, but he should be okay for Week 9 after the Giants' bye next week because he said he did not strain his hamstring, and the bye comes at a good time. Skattebo's value is back up with this strong performance by the whole offense, even if he is banged up and the Texans defense isn't what it used to be. |

Giants | Singletary runs for 41 yards, one TD in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary ran 5 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 14 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 3.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.0.

Giants | Likely held to 2 catches for 12 yards in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught 2 passes for 12 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.2.
| Footballguys view: Likely has been putting up massive ceiling games in the "Rashee Rice" role from Matt Nagy's offense, but he was quiet with J.J. McCarthy showing off his arm strength and talent with decisive downfield throws in this win. Likely is still a starting fantasy tight end heading into the bye, although the quality of his chemistry with J.J. McCarthy is still a work in progress. |

Giants | Nabers catches 7 passes for 111 yards in win over Texans Sun Oct 25, 04:26 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 7 passes for 111 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.6.
| Footballguys view: Anyone who suffered through Justin Jefferson's poor season with J.J. McCarthy last season had to laugh when they saw this stat line. Nabers' value is very much intact with McCarthy and he should appreciate the rest his banged up shoulder and surgically repaired knee will get during the bye. |

Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. afternoon cut short by hamstring injury Sun Oct 25, 02:32 PM
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) did not return against the Texans on Sunday. Tracy was injured in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return. WR Jalin Hyatt was back to return kickoffs alongside WR Charlie Jones.
| Footballguys view: Tracy scored before he left the game, but did not return. Cam Skattebo came on late as the lead back, with a 16-yard score that featured broken tackles and a 42-yard run in overtime where he pulled up and it appeared he might have hurt his hamstring. We'll be monitoring the Giants beat for more news about Skattebo, but going into the bye we might not get specifics about either until after the week off for the Giants. |

Giants | Theo Johnson downgraded to out for Week 7 at Houston Sat Oct 24, 02:20 PM
Giants TE Theo Johnson (neck) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Texans, according to multiple reports. Johnson was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report before Saturday afternoon's downgrade.
| Footballguys view: He suffered the injury in Week 5 and sat out last Sunday's loss to the Saints. This is more damaging for the Giants as a team than for Fantasy GMs, as Isaiah Likely is the TE1 and primary weapon at the position. |

His return will coincide with the loss of CB Greg Newsome II (concussion). "He's ready to go," head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday. "He's a legit corner. He's a cover corner, he tackles... I think he's finally probably healthy and ready to go. I can't wait to see it. It looks like it's going to be Sunday." Adebo lost his starting job to Deonte Banks in training camp.

Harbaugh says Skattebo had 'good week,' should return to RB rotation Sunday Fri Oct 23, 03:51 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo should return to the running back rotation for Sunday's game at Houston, head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday, adding that Skattebo had a "good week" of practice, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported. Skattebo played only six snaps and had no touches in Week 6 after a key overtime fumble in Week 5. "I took care of the ball during practice, and whatever my role is on Sunday is going to be my role and I'm going to give it everything I've got," Skattebo said. He has 81 carries for 294 yards and one touchdown this season.
| Footballguys view: Some players respond well to punishment, and others do not. Skattebo seemed humble and understanding when discussing the benching postgame last week, and has seemingly responded with a strong week of practice. It's almost impossible to gauge what happens in Week 7. He could be eased back into his role or run hard with a full workload. Skattebo had one of the league's best opportunity shares heading into Week 6 and didn't log a single touch in that game. He's a risky RB3 this week. The best-case scenario is that he responds well and managers have more faith in starting Skattebo after his Week 8 bye. |

Giants | Nagy calls Skattebo a 'true pro' after demotion, appears 'out of the doghouse' Thu Oct 22, 11:53 AM
Giants OC Matt Nagy said on Thursday that RB Cam Skattebo handled last week's demotion in an "impressive" way, calling him a "true pro." Skattebo played only six snaps in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints, with RB Devin Singletary leading the Giants' backfield. Nagy's comments suggest Skattebo is out of the doghouse.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo was in the doghouse a week ago due to fumbling. Now, we'll see if one of these Giants' elevates their game. Tyrone Tracy, Skattebo, and Singletary will work to establish a hot hand. Coming out of the doghouse, Fantasy GMs should only trust Skattebo this week as a deep flex. If he takes the main job back, then his fantasy value gets back to the RB2 range. |

Giants head coach John Harbaugh confirmed on Wednesday that QB J.J. McCarthy will replace QB Jameis Winston and start Sunday's game at Houston, as ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. McCarthy replaced an 'ineffective' Winston in Sunday's loss to the Saints, after which Harbaugh was not ready to name a Week 7 starter.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy looked good as he got the Giants back in the game late against the Saints in Week 6. Now, as the starter for the Giants, Fantasy GMs should be looking at McCarthy as a streaming option. He provided a spark a week ago, and now McCarthy gets a chance to redeem himself as a starter again. |

Giants | Giants release RB Najee Harris Tue Oct 20, 10:59 AM
The Giants released RB Najee Harris on Tuesday. Harris had started Sunday's game after Cam Skattebo was "downgraded" following fumbles.
| Footballguys view: Despite running as the starter, Harris only carried the ball four times. He told reporters after the game that "it's hard to get in a rhythm with one or two plays," admitting that he has "never been through none of this before". Harbaugh, asked about Harris' comments, said that the rushing attack "hasn't earned" a "circumstance" like that of Baltimore Ravens' Derrick Henry or Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley. It appears Harbaugh and the Giants have added the last word. We'll be watching for more on the running back rotations heading into Sunday's game against the Texans. |

Giants | Skattebo's fumbles 'were a trend', Giants backfield 'a mess' with four backs Mon Oct 19, 07:56 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo's fumbles "were a trend" ahead of his zero-carry outing in Sunday's loss to the Saints, and he "also hadn't been effective."
| Footballguys view: According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, Skattebo's fumble in the season opener "could have been a killer" even though the ball bounced right back to him. Still, Duggan, who has been suggesting Najee Harris would overtake Skattebo since the veteran's arrival in New York, believes giving Skattebo zero carries "was too severe, but their backfield is a mess, and it's unwieldy to rotate four backs." It's certainly unwieldy for our purposes. It relegates all four to emergency-option status for fantasy investors -- at least until we start to gain some clarity. |
Giants | Skattebo plays 6 snaps in 'clearly an altered rotation', Singletary leads Giants RBs Mon Oct 19, 07:23 AM
Giants RB Devin Singletary led the team's backfield with 29 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Saints, followed by RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. with 26, RB Najee Harris with 11 and RB Cam Skattebo with six.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan, the split was "a little slanted because they were in comeback mode but this was clearly an altered rotation." Still, Raanan reports that Skattebo is expected to be "more in the mix" in Week 7 against the Texans. |

Giants | Harbaugh not ready to name Week 7 starter after McCarthy replaces Winston Sun Oct 18, 07:33 PM
Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Sunday he is not ready to name a starting quarterback for Week 7 at the Texans. QB J.J. McCarthy replaced QB Jameis Winston during Sunday's 34-27 home loss to the Saints, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported. The Giants' running back situation was also left unsettled after the loss.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, who was acquired recently via trade, entered early in the fourth quarter and led an impressive comeback attempt. He had an instant connection with tight end Isaiah Likely and star receiver Malik Nabers. McCarthy threw for 243 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter alone, leading three scoring drives and getting the Giants to the red zone in the final seconds. We'll be watching this situation closely in the coming days. |

Harbaugh says Skattebo 'wasn't benched,' still trying to figure out who 'the guy' is Sun Oct 18, 05:19 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo finished with zero carries in Sunday's loss to the Saints, but head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo wasn't benched and that the lack of carries wasn't by design. Harbaugh said no one has stepped up in the running back room and that he is trying to figure out who "the guy" is. When pressed on the topic, Harbaugh said, "I don't know what else to say. That's the best answer you can ever get on that in 1,000 years... If you're not thrilled with that answer, I got nothing else for you, honestly."
| Footballguys view: Harbaugh is trying to be tactful in the media, but there's zero chance that Skattebo not appearing in the box score was accidental. Najee Harris was unimpressive as the starter and Tyrone Tracy Jr. can't do everything, but Skattebo is unlikely to get back to the clear lead-back role he had to open the season. He's not an essential hold in short-bench leagues heading into a matchup with the Texans. |

Giants | Tracy runs for 18 yards, one TD, one receiving TD in loss to Saints Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran 6 times for 18 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 27 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.5.
| Footballguys view: Najee Harris got the start, but he was ineffective. Tracy was the red-zone back with Cam Skattebo getting no carries following another costly fumble in overtime last week, and he got free for a receiving touchdown to open the scoring for the Giants. He was on the field during the comeback bid with J.J. McCarthy and added a rushing touchdown. He clearly has the most athleticism of any of the Giants backs and should be added while the Giants try to figure out who their best quarterback and running back are going into Week 7 with a trip to Houston up next. |

Giants | Nabers catches 12 passes for 165 yards in loss to Saints Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 12 passes for 165 yards on 15 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.
| Footballguys view: The good news is that Nabers put up a good chunk of this with J.J. McCarthy after Jameis Winston was benched. McCarthy wasn't able to get on the same page with Justin Jefferson last year, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with his newfound Southeast Louisiana pedigree No. 1 receiver with the Giants. |

Giants | J.J. McCarthy replaces 'ineffective' Jameis Winston vs. Saints, throws for 243 yards in near miracle comeback Sun Oct 18, 03:43 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy entered Sunday's game against the Saints at quarterback in place of an ineffective QB Jameis Winston. The change came after New Orleans scored 34 unanswered points to take a 34-10 lead over the Giants. McCarthy threw an interception on his first drive and then led two touchdown and one field goal drives to get the Giants within seven points. McCarthy then drove the team down into scoring range, but couldn't throw a touchdown on the game's final play as Isaiah Likely had three Saints all over him as the ball arrived. McCarthy was 11 for 21 for 243 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, with two carries for 26 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: It's hard to know exactly what John Harbaugh will do after this game, but McCarthy made a strong case to be the starting quarterback against the Texans next week. The Saints were in garbage time defense mode at first, so we can't be sure this will stick, but McCarthy was making the necessary throws to not just get the Giants back in this game, but also support top end fantasy value for Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely after he sunk Justin Jefferson's value last season. McCarthy should be added in 2QB/Superflex leagues as the still first place Giants don't know who their best quarterback and running back are heading into Week 7. |

Giants | 'Very surprised' if Skattebo has 'same RB1 workload' Sunday amid Giants' fumbling issues Fri Oct 16, 02:30 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo is not expected to have the same RB1 workload against the Saints on Sunday that he has had in the first five games. Asked whether the Giants' fumbling issues could get to a point where he would need to make adjustments, head coach John Harbaugh said, "Yes, there is a point." Asked if the Giants have reached that point, Harbaugh said, "We'll see. We'll find out."
| Footballguys view: Skattebo suffered a traumatic ankle dislocation last year and hasn't regained the burst that made him a fantasy RB1. Beyond the apparent lack of power, his fumbling has him on thin ice with the new staff. Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy Jr. are both capable running backs, and the team might start getting them a bit more involved. Skattebo is still in the discussion as a back-end RB2, but he's worth a close watch heading into this week's game against the Saints. |

Giants didn't trade for McCarthy to supplant Winston or Dart; Dart 'long-term guy' Tue Oct 13, 01:32 PM
The Giants did not trade for QB J.J. McCarthy with the intention of supplanting QB Jameis Winston or QB Jaxson Dart, NFL insider Jordan Schultz said on Tuesday. Schultz said Dart remains the team's long-term quarterback.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, according to Schultz, is additional insurance in case the injury bug hits the Giants' quarterback room again. However, the league insider acknowledged that if the wheels fall off on the Giants offense with Winston under center, things could change. For now, the Giants are simply evaluating what they have in McCarthy, who has a positive relationship with OC Matt Nagy. |

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. |
