Hyatt tests well

Tennessee WR Jalin Hyatt weighed in at just 176 pounds (on his 6-foot frame) at the NFL Scouting Combine. His testing numbers looked good, though. He led all WRs with an 11'3 broad jump and ranked fourth with a 40-inch vertical. Altogether, Hyatt rated seventh among 44 WRs in Relative Athletic Score. The early draft entrant is coming off a huge receiving line: 67 catches, 1,267 yards, and 15 TDs. His 18.9 yards per catch match the 4.4-second speed he flashed at the Combine. His relatively late breakout -- as a nearly 21-year-old junior -- is a negative, however. We'll dig further into the likely early-round pick for his upcoming prospect profile. Hyatt's current WR49 ADP in Underdog fantasy best ball drafts makes him OK to mix in, though it's hard to imagine a huge spike after he finds his NFL team.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has been ruled out of Sunday's finale vs. the Eagles with a hamstring injury. He caught one of two targets for five yards before exiting and finishes his rookie campaign with 368 scoreless yards. Hyatt was considered a project coming out of Tennessee, so his development will be worth watching closely this offseason. He's a dynasty hold.

The Giants’ offense didn’t have to do much to eke out a 10-7 win over the Patriots in Week 12. There isn’t a ton to dig into from this game, but rookie WR Jalin Hyatt deserves recognition. He hauled in 5 of his team-high 6 targets for 109 receiving yards on Sunday. The rookie saw a decent chunk of that yardage come on an early 41-yard bomb, but it’s worth highlighting a few things about his performance. Hyatt recorded his highest route participation rate (75.7%) since Week 6 and saw a target on 19.2% of his routes. In the three games he’s seen a greater than 66% route participation, Hyatt is averaging 68.3 receiving yards and 10.2 PPR points per game. It’s not a lot of information to go off of, but he’s shown a propensity for netting big yards when he’s involved more than two-thirds of the time. Headed into their bye week, Hyatt is a name for dynasty managers or those in deeper season-long formats to pay some attention to as an under-the-radar acquisition target.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has cleared the concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. The rookie has just two catches over the last three weeks and isn’t a viable fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito under center.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt sustained a concussion in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. That'll likely knock the rookie out for Week 11's game vs. the Commanders. Hyatt, of course, was not a realistic fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported that Giants WR Jalin Hyatt saw the "most first-team work since being drafted" by the team on Friday. The Giants selected the 2022 Biletnikoff Award winner out of Tennessee with the 73rd pick of the 2023 NFL Draft in hopes of bolstering a less-than-stellar WR room. This news comes on the heels of Hyatt leaving practice early on Wednesday due to what the team called "heat-related reasons." Considering only one wideout (Darius Slayton) exceeded 600 yards receiving last season, the Giants will need all the help they can get. HC Brian Daboll spoke about Hyatt, saying that it's "up to him to go out there and show what he can do," and that each player will have to "will earn their role" in the offense. Sure, it's just coach speak, but seeing Hyatt out there earning reps with the first-team offense this early on is a great sign. We'll keep an eye on his progress as training camp unfolds.
