New York Giants Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Giants HC Brian Daboll told reporters Monday that despite not yet having the results of testing on QB Daniel Jones' neck injury, he's "optimistic" about Jones' chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bills. We'll watch for confirmation on Jones' status. Although an active Jones against Buffalo doesn't look like someone we'd want to use in fantasy football lineups -- unless it's necessary.

Giants Edge Azeez Ojulari left Sunday's loss to the Dolphins with an ankle injury. He has already lost time to a hamstring injury this year and supplied little production when he has made it onto the field. Ojulari isn't worth much IDP attention right now.

Giants QB Daniel Jones had an X-ray on his injured neck and will get a scan on Monday. He said after the loss to Miami that his neck soreness and pain feels “similar” to what he had in 2021, according to insider Pat Leonard. Jones missed the final six games of 2021 with that neck injury. We'll keep you updated on his status.

Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson snagged 5 of 6 targets for 18 yards in Week 5. Robinson remained exclusively a short-range target – necessary given the amount of pressure put on Daniel Jones. The Giants went without an offensive score in this one and now own just 5 offensive TDs all season. We’ll see if Daniel Jones – who left late with a neck injury – can get cleared ahead of Week 6.

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.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson left in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins to be checked for a concussion.

Update: Robinson cleared concussion protocol and has returned to the game.

Giants QB Daniel Jones suffered a neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins and was quickly ruled out. Jones missed the final six games of the 2021 season with a neck injury. We'll update this current injury when we know more. QB Tyrod Taylor replaced Jones vs. Miami.

Giants LB Micah McFadden (ankle) is inactive for today's game against the Dolphins.

Giants LB Micah McFadden is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He suffered an ankle injury during the practice week that limited his participation Thursday and Friday. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Giants QB Daniel Jones wants to get TE Darren Waller the ball more going forward. “I think it’s important [he’s a bigger part of offense],” Jones said, via ESPN's Jordan Raanan. “He’s a talented player and poses a big threat for defenses. I have to do a better job of finding him and getting him the ball. I think there are just some opportunities that I have to get him the ball and give him a chance to make plays.” Jones was strangely invisible in the passing game for most of Monday night's loss to the Seahawks. Part of that was due to the Giants needing him to help out in pass protection. We'll see what HC Brian Daboll comes up with for a game plan vs. the Dolphins this weekend, but we'd expect more volume for Waller. He totaled a solid 20 targets over the first three games of the season.

Giants QB Daniel Jones experienced yet another dreadful primetime nightmare. He was sacked a career-high 10 times, threw 2 INTs, and lost a fumble in Week 4 vs. the Seahawks. Including Monday night, Jones has recorded less than 10 fantasy points in three of four games. It’s fairly evident that the Giants’ offensive line has a lot of issues, and being without RB Saquon Barkley doesn’t help. Still, it’s going to be difficult to trust him in 1QB leagues at any point soon. Their next two games are against the Dolphins in Week 5 and the Bills in Week 6, neither of which are appealing matchups.

The Colts have released RB Deon Jackson, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. RB Trey Sermon was elevated from the practice squad in a corresponding move, so he'll fill a back up role behind Zack Moss.

Giants TE Darren Waller mustered just three catches for 20 scoreless yards in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. He led the team with seven targets for a 21.2% share. But Waller struggled creating separation against a strong 49ers defense and committed two bad drops, including one that ended up as a Talanoa Hufanga INT. The good news is that Waller won't face a tougher matchup than this the rest of the season. And he's drawn a 20.0% target share through three games. As long as that type of volume keeps coming, Waller remains a must-start.

Giants QB Daniel Jones not surprisingly struggled vs. the 49ers on Thursday night. He completed 22 of 32 passes (68.8%) but totaled just 137 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) with 0 TDs and one INT. New York got nothing going downfield (where's Jalin Hyatt?). And Jones didn't get much help from his pass-catchers. TE Darren Waller was particularly bad, dropping at least two passes, including one that resulted in Jones' INT. It was also disappointing to see Jones finish with just five yards on two carries. It was a massive fantasy dud -- but hopefully you weren't counting on Jones against this elite 49ers defense. He has much more doable matchups the next two weeks vs. the Seahawks and Dolphins.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the 49ers. Expect him to have a small role in his first game since last November’s torn ACL. We'll see how Robinson's usage evolves, but he's only an option in one-game DFS tournaments tonight.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. That's an upgrade from his "doubtful" status the first two weeks. ESPN's Jordan Raanan expects Robinson to play vs. San Francisco, which would be his first game since last November’s torn ACL. Robinson certainly isn't a Week 3 fantasy option, but we'll monitor his role.

Giants TE Darren Waller logged 6 catches on a team-leading 8 targets for 76 yards in Week 2’s win vs. the Cardinals. Veteran wideouts Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell received 6 targets in this contest, marking the second week in a row where the pair saw more involvement than their positional counterparts. The concentration of targets in New York is becoming more apparent as fantasy managers look ahead to Thursday night’s Week 3 game vs. the 49ers. Starting a Giants pass-catcher besides Waller in lineups would be bold outside of deeper leagues, though both Slayton and Campbell warrant further monitoring.

Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 26 of 37 attempts for 321 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Week 2’s comeback victory vs. the Cardinals. He also added 59 yards on 9 carries with a rushing TD in the contest. It’s concerning that New York found themselves down 20-0 at halftime against a Cardinals team that’s broadly considered to be the worst in the NFL. Even so, the offense found life and pulled out the victory over the final two quarters. On top of the real-life success, Jones delivered a significantly better performance (30.7 points) that may see him finish as the QB1 for the week. He’ll have a tough test in Week 3 as the Giants travel on the road to face the 49ers.

Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Parris Campbell will again operate as New York’s top three WRs.

Giants Edge Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He did manage limited practices all week, so we'll see whether Ojulari can make it back for Week 3. Jihad Ward figures to join Kayvon Thibodeaux as the top edge players for the Giants. Ward has just 13 career sacks through seven seasons. There's upside to the Arizona matchup, but he's not worth the risk. Isaiah Simmons interestingly spent a little more than half of his defensive playing time on the edge in Week 1. He could factor more into the scheme against his old team. But he also played just 15 defensive snaps in the opener. He'd need a lot more playing time to be worth considering for your IDP lineup.
