Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) told reporters Wednesday that he's hoping to return for Week 15 vs. the Saints. Waller said that he’s been running routes and that his hamstring is feeling good, per The Athletic's Dan Duggan. We'll track Waller's practice participation next week, but he'd be a risky fantasy start in his first game back from a multi-week hamstring injury. Waller would get positive matchups in Weeks 16 and 17 vs. the Eagles and Rams, so he still has a chance to help fantasy teams this season.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he doesn't expect to get TE Darren Waller (hamstring) back for Monday night's game vs. the Packers. Waller is eligible to come off IR this week but either isn't ready or just doesn't want to push it in a lost season. It's not a lock that Waller plays again this year. We'll keep you updated on his status.

The Giants placed TE Darren Waller on IR with his latest hamstring injury. He was already ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and will now also miss the next three games vs. the Cowboys, Commanders, and Patriots. The Giants then have a Week 13 bye, so Week 14 is the earliest we'll see Waller again. He's droppable in fantasy leagues without deep benches or IR spots. Daniel Bellinger will take over as New York's lead TE with Waller out. He averaged 2.5 catches, 22 yards, and 0.2 TDs across 12 games as a rookie last year.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Thursday that TE Darren Waller (hamstring) won't play vs. the Raiders this weekend and might require a trip to IR. That'd knock him out for four total games. It's not a big surprise after Waller admitted that he'll likely miss multiple weeks with his latest hamstring injury. We'd try to keep him stashed on fantasy benches considering the sorry state of the TE position, but Waller might need to be dropped in shallow-bench leagues. His absence leaves Daniel Bellinger as New York's top TE. He averaged 2.5 catches, 22 yards, and 0.2 TDs across 12 games as a rookie last year. Bellinger is an emergency-only fantasy option.

Giants TE Darren Waller admitted Wednesday that he might "potentially" miss weeks with his latest hamstring injury, per ESPN's Jordan Raanan. “It may take a little bit," Waller added. It's not a surprise considering his lengthy history of hamstring trouble. We can safely assume that Waller won't play vs. the Raiders on Sunday. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 10. It's worth noting that the Giants have a Week 13 bye.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said TE Darren Waller (hamstring) won't practice on Wednesday. Daboll didn't rule Waller out for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, but we'd be surprised if he played considering his history of hamstring injuries.

RB Saquon Barkley essentially served as the Giants’ entire offense in Week 8 vs. the Jets, totaling 36 carries for 128 rushing yards with 3 catches. The team had to pivot early on after starting QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs) and TE Darren Waller (hamstring) left in the second quarter due to injury and settled on pounding the rock all the way through OT. It’s difficult to draw any meaningful fantasy-based conclusions from this game due to the dire circumstances. Keep an eye on the practice reports this coming week to see who’ll be available to suit up vs. the Raiders in Week 9.

Giants WR Darren Waller has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Jets with a hamstring injury. He's been dealing with hamstring trouble all season and was questionable coming into this one. We'll look for more info on Waller's status going forward.

Giants TE Darren Wallker (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice all week, but we never heard any concern about his availability for this one. Waller is safe to get into Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Giants TE Darren Wallker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets after a limited week of practice. It’s the third time he’s been listed as questionable this season. He played the previous two times. There’s been no indication that Waller is in danger of missing this weekend’s game, but check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure he’s active.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. He remained limited in practice all week but hasn't been cleared for contact. QB Tyrod Taylor gets the start again this weekend. He's played reasonably well the past two weeks, completing 65% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt with two TDs and 0 INTs. Taylor isn't a recommended fantasy play against a tough Jets defense, but he's not a significant downgrade for guys like RB Saquon Barkley and TE Darren Waller.

Giants TE Darren Waller finished Week 7 with 7 catches, 98 yards, and 1 score. It’s a season-best line for the veteran, who’s up to 26 targets over the past three weeks. We’ll see if Daniel Jones (neck) can return for Week 8 vs. the Jets. Either way, Waller will remain a top-8 fantasy play.

Giants TE Darren Waller (groin) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday, which Waller described as a maintenance day. It doesn’t seem like the groin will be an issue tonight. But Waller is no better than a mid-range TE1 play with his Giants sporting a 14.0-point implied total.

Giants TE Darren Waller (groin) is expected to play against the Bills tonight, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The general state of New York's offense is a bigger concern for Waller than the groin. See where he sits in the Week 6 TE Rankings.

Giants TE Darren Waller (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bills. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday, which Waller described as a maintenance day. He should play vs. Buffalo. But between the groin issue, New York’s offensive line problems, and QB Tyrod Taylor being at the helm, Waller is an uncomfortable Week 6 fantasy play.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills. He didn't practice all week, so it's certainly possible that he misses more time. QB Tyrod Taylor will start on Sunday night for the first time since December 2021. Taylor is a serviceable backup but has little chance behind New York's leaky offensive line. We're considering Taylor just a slight downgrade from Jones for New York's pass-catchers.

Giants TE Darren Waller (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He told the media that Wednesday's day off was part of his maintenance plan. It sounds like Waller will be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills.

Giants Darren Waller is sitting out Wednesday's practice with a groin injury. It's too early to tell what his outlook for Sunday's game against the Bills will be, but this obviously doesn't help a guy who has disappointed fantasy managers already. And it comes at the same time his QB is dealing with a neck issue (which is keeping Daniel Jones out of Wednesday's practice as well). Avoiding Giants in Week 6 as much as you reasonably can seems like a good idea.

Giants TE Darren Waller woke up with 8 grabs for 86 yards in a blowout loss to Miami. Waller set a season-high with 11 targets. Game flow always projected favorably for the veteran, and sure enough, New York quickly faced a double-digit deficit. Now, we’ll need to check on the health of QB Daniel Jones, who left in the 4th quarter with a neck injury. If he’s unable to go for Week 6 (at Buffalo), Tyrod Taylor will start.
