New York Giants QB Daniel Jones' touchdown percentage of 2.5 was the lowest among quarterbacks with at least 400 attempts in 2020, and he became just the 11th quarterback in NFL history to have 11 or fewer touchdown passes with at least 400 pass attempts.

Huddle Up: Jones figures to open 2021 as the starter for the Giants, but between his struggles with turnovers and lack of production, he's a fringe QB2, at best.

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 1, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.

Huddle Up: Jones has only two touchdown passes in his last five games and was held to 222 yards in his previous game against the Dallas Cowboys. He could be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues but can be avoided in most leagues.

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 1, but is not on the injury report for Week 17.

Huddle Up: Engram has had a disappointing 2020 season but should still see a decent amount of targets against the Dallas Cowboys. He could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Posted 1/01/2021 9:45 pm UTC

New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard (rib) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 1, but is not on the injury report for Week 17.

Huddle Up: Shepard is coming off one of his best games of the season and has been targeted at least five times in each of his last eight games. He can be considered a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues this week.

Posted 12/31/2020 10:35 pm UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (hamstring) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 31.

Huddle Up: Jones is still dealing with the hamstring injury but is on track to play in the last game of the regular season. He has struggled over the last month and can be avoided in standard leagues.

Posted 12/31/2020 10:32 pm UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 31.

Huddle Up: Engram has played well at times this season but has been held to under 50 yards in five of his last seven games. He should see a decent amount of targets this week and can still be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.

Posted 12/31/2020 10:29 pm UTC

New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard (rib) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 31.

Huddle Up: Shepard should be a focal point in the passing game for the Giants this week against the Dallas Cowboys. He can be considered at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/30/2020 8:58 pm UTC

New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard (rib) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 30.

Huddle Up: Shepard has been targeted at least six times in all but two games this season and picked up his second touchdown of the season last week. He should see a solid amount of targets this week and can be a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/30/2020 8:52 pm UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (hamstring) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 30.

Huddle Up: Jones should be ready to play this week as long as he does not suffer a setback during practice. He has thrown only one touchdown in the last four games and should only be a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues.

Posted 12/30/2020 8:48 pm UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 30.

Huddle Up: Engram has been on the injury report for the last few weeks but should be available for the Week 17 game. He is coming off one of his better games of the season and can be a starting option in most leagues.

Posted 12/28/2020 9:13 pm UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (ankle) suffered a left ankle injury late in Week 16, but head coach Joe Judge is 'optimistic' about his availability in Week 17 versus the Dallas Cowboys. Judge also admitted that he will need to see Engram in practice before making a decision on his Week 17 status and that the tight end will meet with the team's doctors for a second time in as many days Monday, Dec. 28.

Huddle Up: Engram has not missed a game in 2020 and is on the verge of playing a full season for the first time in his NFL career, but this news could jeopardize that. The fourth-year pro has been a consistent performer of late at a position of need for fantasy owners, although he hasn't reached his ceiling much this year and only has one touchdown to his credit. If he plays in the season finale against the Cowboys, he should be considered a mid-range TE1.

Darius Slayton - WR

Posted 12/28/2020 12:51 am UTC

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton ended up with two receptions for 26 yards on eight targets in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Huddle Up: The G-Men tried to get it to Slayton, but he and Danny Dimes just couldn't hook up. He'll look for better results in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Posted 12/28/2020 12:49 am UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram went for a season-high seven receptions for 65 yards on 10 targets in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Huddle Up: Engram's yardage total was rather mediocre, and he hasn't visited the end zone in six games, but PPR owners can't complain too vehemently about the high catch volume. The Giants meet the Cowboys in Week 17.

Posted 12/28/2020 12:47 am UTC

New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard posted game highs with nine receptions, 77 yards and 12 targets in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens and he was able to post a touchdown.

Huddle Up: Shepard really jelled nicely at times with Daniel Jones, but he has needed his quarterback to be healthy and that has been a problem for a good chunk of the season. The Giants finish up with the Cowboys in Week 17.

Wayne Gallman - RB

Posted 12/28/2020 12:45 am UTC

New York Giants RB Wayne Gallman rushed six times for 27 yards in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens and he added two receptions for 26 yards on two targets.

Huddle Up: Gallman did a good job in place of the injured Saquon Barkley in the second half, but his fantasy status heading into the 2021 season is uncertain once Barkley is healthy again. The Giants host the Cowboys in Week 17.

Posted 12/28/2020 12:41 am UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 24-of-41 passes for 252 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens while running for three yards.

Huddle Up: Jones looked the healthiest he has been in several weeks and it showed. It didn't help he was sacked six times, however. He and the G-Men will look to finish up strong against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.

Posted 12/26/2020 4:40 pm UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) will start Week 16's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Huddle Up: Jones had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues but can remain on the bench in standard formats.

Posted 12/25/2020 10:20 pm UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 25, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Huddle Up: Engram has caught at least four passes in three of the last four games but has only one touchdown on the season. He could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues but is not a must-start option.

Posted 12/24/2020 11:47 pm UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 24.

Huddle Up: Engram had one big game around a month ago but has been held to under 50 yards in 11 of his 14 games this season. He could still be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues but is not a must-start option.

Posted 12/24/2020 11:42 pm UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 24.

Huddle Up: The Giants believe Jones has a good chance to play this week, but fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. He will have a tough matchup if he is able to play and can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Posted 12/24/2020 5:21 pm UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) is recovering from ankle and hamstring injuries, and head coach Joe Judge said Thursday, Dec. 24, that he's 'really encouraged' about Jones' chances of returning to the starting lineup Sunday in Week 16 vs. the Baltimore Ravens.

Huddle Up: Jones has missed two of the last three games, and the offensive struggles hit home last week as the Giants were held to a season-low six points. Jones is a low-end QB2 consideration if he's able to return this weekend.

Posted 12/23/2020 8:43 pm UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 23.

Huddle Up: Engram was on the injury report last week but was able to play and should have a good chance to play in Week 16. He has been held to under 50 yards in five of the last six games but could still be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

Posted 12/23/2020 3:24 am UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram's six drops are tied for the most among tight ends.

Huddle Up: Despite a steady role in the passing game, Engram has managed just one touchdown reception and has been held under 50 yards in 11 of his 14 games. The drops certainly don't help matters, and Engram is a low-end TE1, at best.

Posted 12/22/2020 1:13 am UTC

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones' (ankle, hamstring) status for Week 16 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Joe Judge. The team wants to see him on the practice field this week before deciding on his status.

Huddle Up: Jones was limited during practice last week but did not play, so he will need to show improvement if he wants to play in Week 16. He will be facing the Baltimore Ravens if he plays and can be avoided in most leagues.

Posted 12/21/2020 6:05 am UTC

New York Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) tallied four catches for 46 yards against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Dec. 20. Engram was targeted seven times.

Huddle Up: For the most part the Giants have made it a priority to work Engram into the game plan over the last two months -- in the last eight games he has been targeted at least seven times in all but two of them. The production hasn't been great, though, and his season-long struggles in the red zone (one TD reception) are inexcusable for a player of his talents. He's a fringe No. 1 option even at a shallow position.
