Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He’s practiced the last two weeks, so we’ll see if he’s ready to make his 2023 debut in Week 3.

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He told reporters afterward that he'll play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. It's safe to assume that Waller won't be at 100% for that one, but he remains a strong fantasy option at a shaky TE position.

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, HC Brian Daboll said. Daboll added that Waller is "OK" and is just getting a veteran's day off. He's on track to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend, but it's safe to assume that Waller isn't yet at 100%.

Giants TE Darren Waller led the team in receiving with 3 catches on 5 targets for 36 yards in Sunday night’s loss vs. the Cowboys. By halftime, this game was essentially over. There was little that QB Daniel Jones and company could do to kick the offense into gear. WR Darius Slayton matched Waller’s target total throughout the clobbering and tallied 3 catches for 15 yards for himself. There’s not much to draw from this loss. Fantasy managers should have a short memory and hope for a greater showing vs. the Cardinals in Week 2.

Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 15 of 28 attempts for 104 yards and 2 INTs in a blowout loss vs. the Cowboys. He also added 43 yards on 13 carries in Week 1, though Jones’ efforts were far from enough for the team to avoid an embarrassing divisional loss at home on Sunday night. Rainy weather certainly impacted conditions. However, that didn’t stop their opponent from running up the score to 26-0 by halftime, so there’s not much of an excuse to be made as far as that goes. Jones will have an opportunity to rebound in Week 2 vs. the Cardinals.

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He was limited in Friday’s practice and listed as questionable with hamstring tightness. That obviously adds risk to Waller’s fantasy profile. But if you waited on him, get him in your starting lineup.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He put in three limited practices this week, so he’s seemingly close to his first game action since last November’s torn ACL. Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Parris Campbell figure to serve as New York’s top three WRs tonight.

Colts RB Deon Jackson tallied 19 opportunities (13 carries, six targets) in Sunday's opener vs. the Jaguars. He turned them into 28 scoreless yards. Jackson mustered just 14 yards on 13 carries and caught five of six targets for 14 yards. He didn't get much help from the Colts' offensive line, but Jackson is simply a replacement-level talent. Indianapolis lost RB Evan Hull to a knee injury in this one, so we'll see if he or RB Zack Moss (forearm) is available for Week 2. Even if they're not, Jackson would be an unexciting RB3 vs. the Texans.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirms that Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) will play vs. the Cowboys tonight. "They will keep an eye on [the hamstring] during the game, but the expectation is that he will be a big part of their offense right away," Garafolo adds. Waller is safe to get into Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Giants TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Cowboys tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Waller is officially listed as questionable after reportedly experiencing hamstring tightness late in the week. That obviously adds risk to his fantasy profile. But, barring a conflicting report on his status for tonight, Waller can stay in fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler confirms that Giants TE Darren Waller's hamstring injury is not believed to be serious. "The Giants are hopeful he can play Sunday night vs. Dallas," Fowler adds. "No firm determination yet. Team will likely monitor through the weekend." ESPN's Jordan Raanan, meanwhile, reports that Waller experienced "hamstring tightness" late in the week but "seemed to be moving relatively well at the open portion of Friday’s practice." We'll continue to look for updates on Waller's status for Sunday night's opener.

Giants insider Art Stapleton tweeted that the "sense I get" is that TE Darren Waller's hamstring injury is "not considered a serious injury, but comes with caution because hamstrings are what they are and it's something that has slowed Waller in the past." It's relatively good news, although it sounds like Waller is in jeopardy of missing Sunday night's opener vs. the Cowboys. We'll continue to look for updates on Waller's status.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. He put in three limited practices this week, so he’s seemingly close to his first game action since last November’s torn ACL. Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Parris Campbell are expected to operate as New York’s top three WRs in the opener.

The Giants on Friday added TE Darren Waller to the injury report and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The Sunday night kickoff for that one will make it difficult to wait for Waller's actual game status. Make sure you roster an insurance option before Sunday's games start. If Waller doesn't go, Daniel Bellinger should be New York's lead TE. We'll watch for more on Waller's status.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was just activated from the PUP list near the end of August after last November's ACL tear. We'll see if Robinson is active for Sunday night's opener vs. the Cowboys, but he shouldn't be in your Week 1 fantasy plans.

Colts RB Deon Jackson is in line to start the season opener vs. the Jaguars, according to insider Aaron Wilson. RB Jonathan Taylor is out for at least the first four games of the season. And RB Zack Moss isn't expected back from his broken arm until Week 2 or 3, per Wilson. That leaves Indianapolis' backfield to Jackson and rookie Evan Hull, barring another addition. Hull is the more exciting player, but it sounds like the Colts will favor Jackson's experience in the opener. We're still expecting this to be a committee attack, leaving Jackson as an unexciting fantasy play.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson is expected to be activated from the PUP list before Tuesday's deadline, The Athletic's Dan Duggan reports. Robinson has spent the offseason working back from November's torn ACL. It's unclear whether he'll play in the season opener, but the Giants at least expect Robinson to be ready by Week 4. He'll begin in a reserve role behind Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, and Parris Campbell. But Robinson could certainly work his way into a starting job over the course of the season.

Update: Robinson has officially be activated from the PUP list.

The Cardinals are trading Isaiah Simmons to the Giants for a seventh-round pick. That marks a steep fall for the former first-round pick who is in just his fourth season, the final on his rookie contract. Arizona moved Simmons from LB to safety this offseason but clearly wasn't satisfied with him in the new role. We'll see whether Simmons can carve out a meaningful role with his new team, but odds stand against him rebuilding IDP value.

Giants TE Darren Waller caught three balls for 30 yards in Friday night's preseason game, getting open at will vs. the Panthers defense. More importantly, Waller ran a route on 80% of QB Daniel Jones' dropbacks and was targeted on four of Jones' nine passes (44.4%). That elite usage follows a buzzy training camp. If his health cooperates, Waller is in for a big 2023 season. He's climbing our TE rankings.

Colts RB Deon Jackson missed Thursday's practice with a quad injury and is expected to sit out Saturday's preseason opener against the Bills, according to the team website. Indy, of course, was already without RB Zack Moss (wrist) and RB Jonathan Taylor (feelings, ankle?). That leaves recent signee Kenyan Drake and fifth-round rookie Evan Hull as the top healthy competitors for playing time. We'll see how long Jackson remains out. Taylor has been the only Colts back in draftable range in our RB rankings, but he has fallen during his training-camp absence. It's a tough situation to buy into at all in current fantasy football drafts. Indy also signed RB Jason Huntley this week.
