New York Giants Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens and won't return. He's been replaced by QB Tim Boyle. The Giants can't get to the offseason quickly enough.

The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for the second straight week with a back injury. Okereke remained out of practice all week, so we'll see about his status for Week 16 (and beyond). His absence once again elevates Micah McFadden and Darius Muasau to the top and second LB spots, respectively, for Sunday's game against the Ravens. McFadden presents more value if your league scores tackles for loss. He racked up 5 of them last week and now has 8 for the year. McFadden has also reached 11 total tackles in three of his past five games.

Giants QB Drew Lock (heel, elbow) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. QB Tommy DeVito will make his second start of the season in that one. He sits 30th in the Week 15 QB Rankings.

QB Tommy DeVito will start for the Giants this week according to HC Brian Daboll. QB Drew Lock is currently in a walking boot due to a heel injury

Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. again led the backfield with 21 backfield touches to Devin Singletary’s two. Tracy only rushed for 45 yards on 16 carries but did fine the endzone. He also drew 10 targets catching five for 38 yards.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin, hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He’ll be playing through a lingering groin issue and a hip injury he suffered in practice this week. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Nabers would be in “more of a limited role" today. He’s down in WR3 territory in the Week 14 Rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Giants WR Malik Nabers "will try" to play vs. the Saints today. But he'll work out pre-game before a final determination is made. And it “would be more of a limited role" if he plays, a source tells Schefter. Nabers is dealing with both a lingering groin issue and a new hip injury he suffered in practice this week. Already more of a WR2 with New York's QB struggles, Nabers projects as a shaky WR3 on limited snaps this week.

The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for Sunday's game against the Saints because of a back injury. HC Brian Daboll said earlier this week that he hoped Okereke would be ready for the game, so it doesn't seem like a long-term issue. But Okereke missed all three practice days. His absence should leave Micah McFadden and rookie Darius Muasau as the top two off-ball LBs vs. New Orleans.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He got hurt on Thursday and then didn’t practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Nabers’ status and get the Giants’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Consider him a risky WR2 if he ends up playing.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Friday that WR Malik Nabers is dealing with a new hip injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. He was listed on the injury report with a groin, which had us assuming that it was the same issue that he's been dealing with since college. Nabers had an MRI on the hip, according to Daboll, and won't practice on Friday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Saints is seemingly in legitimate question. We'll keep you updated on Nabers' status.

Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday. This is presumably the same groin issue that popped up in Week 12 and that Nabers said he's been dealing with his college. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Saints, but we'll see how Nabers is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

The Giants are planning to start QB Drew Lock against the Saints this weekend, HC Brian Daboll said Wednesday. Lock was not good vs. the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, averaging 5.6 yards per pass attempt with 0 TDs and a pick-six. He ran for 57 yards and a score, though. And the decision is defensible when QB Tommy DeVito is the other option. That, of course, doesn't make Lock a good fantasy play. He sits 24th in the Week 14 QB Rankings.

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 DL Dexter Lawrence dislocated his left elbow in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys and will miss the rest of the season. HC Brian Daboll called the issue "long term" on Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll see about Lawrence's outlook for 2025 but don't expect it to be that long-term an issue.

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.

Giants WR Malik Nabers caught eight of those 13 targets for 69 yards. Lock didn’t show much more promise than any other Giants QB, throwing a pick six and running for a TD. Nabers’ talent earns him the targets, but inaccurate passes from poor QB play have continued to hold him back.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (foreman) is inactive as the emergency third QB for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. QB Drew Lock gets the start in his place. Lock shouldn’t be anywhere near season-long fantasy lineups, although we are projecting him as a slight upgrade for WR Malik Nabers and the Giants passing game.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito appears to be a longshot to play on Thanksgiving due to his forearm injury. He is formally listed as questionable, but Drew Lock is in line to start, according to reports. DeVito's injury will be evaluated further.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Cowboys. He went from a limited practice on Tuesday to no practice on Wednesday. And, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, DeVito is not flying with the team to Dallas but will join them later. It seems like there's a good chance QB Drew Lock gets the start for the G-Men on Thanksgiving. It's a situation to avoid outside of large-field Thanksgiving DFS tournaments.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito was limited in Tuesday's practice with a right forearm issue. He wasn't listed on the injury report on Monday. “I’m hopeful, but it’s not 100%" that DeVito will play vs. the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, HC Brian Daboll said. We'll see how DeVito is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. QB Drew Lock would get the nod against Dallas if DeVito is out.
