The Giants will release WR Kenny Golladay on March 15, the first day of the new league year, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The move will save the G-Men $6.7 million against the 2023 salary cap. It's a no-brainer after 2 disastrous seasons for Golladay in New York that produced a total of 43 catches, 602 yards and 1 TD. Golladay is still only 29 but has dealt with a plethora of injuries and appears to be out of gas. We'll see where Golladay lands on the open market, but he's not worth a pick in early best-ball drafts.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay practiced Tuesday for the 1st time since suffering a knee injury Oct. 2 against the Bears. Barring a setback this week, the team expects to get him back for Sunday's game against the Texans. We'll see how big a role Golladay can reclaim. The last healthy game he played found Golladay staying on the field for just 33% of offensive snaps against the Cowboys in Week 3.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay injured his knee in Sunday's game vs. the Bears. HC Brian Daboll said Monday that it "doesn't look promising" for Golladay to play vs. the Packers on London this weekend. He shouldn't have been in your fantasy plans anyway, but the Giants are getting ridiculously thin at WR.

WR Kadarius Toney barely got onto the field in Sunday's win over the Titans. He played just 12% of the offensive snaps and ran a route on just 10% of dropbacks, according to Pro Football Focus. That's terrible usage for a guy who seemed to have a shot at serving as the Giants' #1 wideout. Little else went right for the passing game to push Toney aside. RB Saquon Barkley led the team in targets and catches. Richie James served as the top-producing wideout, with 5 catches for 59 yards among 6 targets. Sterling Shepard led the team with 71 receiving yards, thanks mostly to a 65-yard TD. Kenny Golladay garnered just 2 targets, and rookie WR Wan'Dale Robinson left with a knee injury.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay suffered a rib injury in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. Miami and is "doubtful" to return, per Fox's Jen Hale. The Giants, of course, are already without WRs Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney today.

Update: Golladay returned for the start of the 2nd half.

Giants QB Daniel Jones strained his neck early in last week's game vs. the Eagles, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Jones played the rest of that one but is now considered "week to week" and is expected to miss at least 1 game, Pelissero adds. That sets QB Mike Glennon up to start Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. The 31-year-old went 16 of 25 for 196 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in relief of Jones back in Week 5 vs. Dallas. He made 5 starts for the Jaguars last year, mustering just 6.0 yards per attempt with 7 TDs and 5 INTs. Glennon is a bottom-barrel QB2 and likely to be a downgrade for New York's offense.

The Giants fired OC Jason Garrett. His squad ranked 31st in both total yards and points in 2020. This year's Giants currently sit 23rd in yards and 25th in points. Garrett was strapped with an uneven QB, a bad offensive line and lots of skill-position injuries -- but his offense never showed the slightest hint of creativity. Freddie Kitchens is expected to take over as interim OC, according to The New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy. Kitchens struggled as Browns HC in 2019 but did spark the offense after taking over as OC midway through the 2018 campaign. We don't expect a big rebound from the Giants the rest of the way, but Kitchens can only be an upgrade over Garrett.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney is "likely to miss time" with his ankle injury, according to The New York Daily News. Toney is still being evaluated, but "sources have indicated it’s more serious than a simple sprain," insider Pat Leonard writes. Fantasy owners should plan on being without Toney at least for Week 7. We'll see if the Giants get WR Kenny Golladay (knee) or WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) back for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) were limited in practice all week. Shepard was left off the final injury report, while Toney and Slayton are listed as questionable. All 3 guys are expected to play vs. the Rams on Sunday, but it looks like Shepard is healthiest. WR Kenny Golladay (knee) is out.

The Giants expect WR Kenny Golladay to miss "just a week or two" with the knee injury he suffered at Dallas, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's reportedly good news vs. what the team feared. We'll have to watch practice reports this week to see who else will be available among Giants wideouts. Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and Kadarius Toney are all dealing with injuries. John Ross finished the Dallas game as the Giants' lead wideout in playing time. Collin Johnson and C.J. Board are also in the mix.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay told reporters after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that he hyperextended his knee in the 1st quarter. It got worse throughout the 1st half and he didn't play in the 2nd. We'll look for further updates on Golladay's injury and monitor his practice participation this coming week.

The Giants ruled WR Kenny Golladay out with a knee injury at halftime of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. It's unclear when the injury happened. We'll update Golladay's status when we know more.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton are out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints with their hamstring injuries. Kenny Golladay should operate as New York's clear #1 WR. We're expecting to see Kadarius Toney replace Shepard in the slot and Collin Johnson and C.J. Board to team up to replace Slayton. RB Saquon Barkley and TE Evan Engram should also play significant roles in the Giants' passing game.

Giants WRs coach Tyke Tolbert suggested that WR Kenny Golladay's snaps might be reduced against the Falcons today. Golladay is dealing with a hip injury and his "conditioning level is not where it should be," Tolbert said. "One of the things I can help him with personally is probably to lessen his snaps a little bit," Tolbert added. We're still expecting Golladay to be out there for most of the Giants' passing plays today -- but this certainly adds downside to his fantasy profile.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hip) has been limited in the first 2 practices of the week. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) isn't listed on the final Week 1 injury report and will play against the Broncos on Sunday. He was limited in practice this week and admitted last week that he was still trying to get back in football shape after being sidelined for about a month. We'd try not to use Golladay in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay "did not sound confident at all" when discussing his recovery from his hamstring injury and status for Week 1, according to insider Ralph Vacchiano. Golladay, who just returned to practice after going down on August 4, admitted that he's still trying “to get my legs up under me.” He added that hamstrings are “tricky” and “you’ve got to be smart and patient with them." We'll continue to keep an eye on Golladay, but he ideally won't be in your Week 1 fantasy plans.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a hamstring pull, per beat writer Pat Leonard. That puts him back at practice well before New York’s opener against Denver. Still, it’s worth noting that Golladay missed 5 games with a hamstring injury in 2017; 2 last fall. He’s shaping up as a WR3, albeit not one we’re particularly excited about.

Giants insider Dan Duggan hears that the hamstring injury WR Kenny Golladay suffered in Tuesday's practice is "not considered a significant injury." Golladay is still scheduled for more testing on Wednesday. It's relatively good news -- but hamstrings can be tricky. We'll keep a close eye on Golladay's status.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay appeared to suffer a hamstring injury at Tuesday’s practice. He grabbed the back of his left leg after a play in 7 on 7s. The 27-year-old walked inside to get checked out by a trainer, and we’ll pass along any updates when they become available.
