        The Giants have ruled TE Theo Johnson out for tomorrow's game against the Raiders because of an illness.

        It's not a huge loss in fantasy or to the Giants. Johnson has topped 3 catches just once among his past nine games and hasn't scored a TD since Nov. 2.

        But he does rank second on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards for the season. Johnson did reach 70 receiving yards in two of the past four games and three of the past six.

        His absence leaves TE playing time to Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz against a weak Raiders D further depleted by injury (Maxx Crosby and Jeremy Chinn out).

        WRs Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton lead the receiving, with little behind them.

        Combine that diminished receiving corps with a Giants offense preferring to lean run, and you get QB Jaxson Dart in QB2 territory of our Week 17 rankings.
