TE Isaiah Likely caught 6 of 10 targets for 99 yards and a TD in Week 6. He finished as the TE2 on the week. He played 70 snaps and led the Giants with 51 routes. His 24% target share trailed only Malik Nabers.

The Giants are hiring Matt Nagy as their OC, according to multiple reports. Todd Monken was reportedly HC John Harbaugh's top choice for the job. But, like Harbaugh, Nagy has strong ties to Andy Reid. Nagy started his coaching career under Reid in Philadelphia and spent the past four seasons with Reid in Kansas City, serving as OC for the last three.

The Giants are finalizing a deal to hire John Harbaugh as their new HC. It's a five-year deal that will make Harbaugh one of the league's highest-paid coaches, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harbaugh is coming off an 18-year run with the Ravens, winning 61.4% of his regular season games and Super Bowl 47. It's a strong hire for New York. But Harbaugh worked his way up through the ranks as a special teams coach. That makes the rest of his offensive staff key to figuring out what this Giants attack will look like going forward. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that former Ravens OC Todd Monken is expected to join Harbaugh in New York, although it's unclear if he'll hold the same title. We'll keep you updated on how this Giants staff comes together -- and what it means for QB Jaxson Dart, WR Malik Nabers, and the rest of the offense.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (rib) and TE Theo Johnson (illness) are out for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That leaves New York without its top two targets. Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins will lead the WR room, with Daniel Bellinger handling lead TE duties. The matchup against Dallas makes those guys more intriguing fantasy options. QB Jaxson Dart's Week 18 outlook takes a hit sans Robinson and Johnson.

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

The forecast for today's Packers-Giants game calls for sustained winds of 20 mph with gusts between 30-40 mph. That's enough to likely impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. We're downgrading both passing games in this one and would avoid both kickers. The over/under in this game has dipped from 43.5 on Thursday to 42.5.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) won't play vs. the Packers on Sunday, interim HC Mike Kafka said. It's a surprise after Slayton was able to play through this hamstring injury last week. His absence leaves New York with some combination of WRs Ray-Ray McCloud, Gunner Olszewski, Jalin Hyatt, and Isaiah Hodgins behind Wan'Dale Robinson. Robinson and TE Theo Johnson should control targets for New York in this one.

The Giants are moving QB Jameis Winston ahead of Russell Wilson on the depth chart, according to multiple reports. That's especially newsworthy this week, of course, because Jaxson Dart sustained a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Bears. If the rookie's not ready for this Sunday's home date with the Packers, then Winston would start.

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.

After entering Week 9, averaging a career-high 13.0 yards per catch, WR Wan'Dale Robinson had a vintage Wan'Dale outing, accumulating just 46 receiving yards on 9 grabs in New York's 34-24 loss to the 49ers. Robinson averaged over 14 yards per catch in New York's previous 3 games but was unable to get downfield against a San Francisco secondary that allowed 318 receiving yards and 10.6 yards per catch to Houston's pass-catchers in Week 8.

In their first game since losing WR Malik Nabers for the season with a torn ACL, the Giants debuted a new TE-heavy scheme with mixed results. New York outproduced New Orleans on offense, but ultimately came up short, giving the Saints their first victory of the season. The Giants had 335 yards of offense, but turned the ball over 5 times in their 26-14 defeat at the Superdome.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart delivered a useful fantasy line in his Week 4 starting debut. He completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards and 1 score, adding 54 yards and a TD on the ground.

Giants TE Theo Johnson said he's fully recovered from the foot injury that ended his rookie season. He had surgery in December but participated in OTAs this spring.

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan writes that the Giants are “extremely high” on second-year TE Theo Johnson. The 24-year-old completed his rookie season with 29 catches, 331 yards, and 1 TD in 12 games.

Giants TE Theo Johnson (foot) has been placed on IR. That knocks him out until at least Week 18, and it doesn't sound like he'll play in the finale. We'll look for more details on this foot injury and see if it costs Johnson any of this offseason. He can be dropped from all redraft rosters but should stay stashed in dynasty leagues. Johnson had a promising rookie season, quickly earning a significant role and averaging 5.4 targets, 3.6 catches, and 43 yards over his final five games.

Giants TE Theo Johnson suffered a foot injury in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys that's expected to end his season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
