New York Giants WR Darius Slayton is not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Slayton had been a solid part of the Giants for several years but may have to find a new team. He should receive interest if he becomes available and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver for a team. Fantasy players may want to avoid him until his future becomes clearer.

New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (neck) went to the locker room and was having his neck examined by trainers during the preseason game against the New York Jets Friday, Aug. 28.
Huddle Up: Tracy and Devin Singletary will both be in the mix for carries behind Cam Skattebo, but if Tracy has to miss time, Singletary will become the obvious backup to target. Stay tuned for updates on Tracy's status.

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart is not expected to play in the preseason game Friday, Aug. 28, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Dart played earlier in the offseason, so the Giants probably want to avoid any injuries before the start of the season. Dart can make plays with both his arm and legs but did deal with injuries during his rookie season. He should be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues when healthy.

New York Giants WR Malachi Fields is likely to be the team's No. 2 receiver. The team traded up to get him in the third round because they were infatuated with his size, physicality and ability to make contested catches. He has shown all of that in camp.
Huddle Up: Fields is an intriguing WR5 with an ADP of 229. He could be a steal late in drafts.

New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney saw an "increased workload" during practice Wednesday, Aug. 26, following the injury to WR Calvin Austin (knee), according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: With Austin now out of the year, Mooney is one of several receivers who could see an increased workload. Mooney has the ability to stretch the field, but at best, he will be a boom-or-bust fantasy play in deeper formats.

Updating a previous report, New York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) will miss the entire season due to a knee injury, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Austin was slated to have a smallish role in the slot, which now may go to Odell Beckham Jr. There isn't much fantasy juice here except in deep formats.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was not wearing a no-contact jersey during practice Monday, Aug. 24. He was catching passes while running at 75 percent speed during practice.
Huddle Up: Nabers continues to make progress and seems to be on track to be available for Week 1. He is the main target in the passing game when healthy and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues if he is ready to play.

New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. may be in danger of not making the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.
Huddle Up: In the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Aug. 22, Tracy had three catches for 22 yards and 26 rushing yards on six carries but also had a key fumble. He also missed a blitz pickup in the Giants' first preseason game versus the Minnesota Vikings, leading to QB Jaxson Dart getting sacked. With a new coaching staff in place, Tracy has not had an impressive camp and appears to be behind RBs Devin Singletary, Cam Skattebo and possibly Najee Harris on the depth chart at the moment.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton could be behind several other pass-catchers in the Giants' receiver pecking order, as Slayton suited up for their preseason game against the Miami Dolphins while WRs Malachi Fields, Darnell Mooney, and Braxton Berrios were all given the day off, in the opinion of ESPN's Jordan Raanan on Saturday, Aug. 22.
Huddle Up: Slayton earned six targets and caught four passes for 58 yards, so it's curious to see Slayton get so much time. There could be something to this, but to be fair, we weren't drafting Slayton in fantasy anyway. It'll be interesting to see how a room like this with so many options shakes out when the rosters are trimmed to 53. That said, ignore Slayton in fantasy drafts, but Fields and even Mooney are worthwhile dart throws in very deep fantasy formats.

New York Giants RB Najee Harris was brought in under the premise that he's going to be a significant contributor, even though a source told ESPN he signed a one-year minimum salary $1.215 million deal with no guaranteed money. The Giants' signing of Harris wasn't in direct response to RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s preseason gaffe. The team had been in contact with Harris' representative for months, and the workout was scheduled last week, sources told ESPN.
Huddle Up: Harris is a downhill runner that doesn't provide much PPR punch. The note on Tracy is important because his missed pass protection led to QB Jaxson Dart getting blown up. Tracy is still the handcuff, but Harris could have value in TD-only leagues.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20.
Huddle Up: The Giants planned to hold out of the joint practices, so he should return to practice next week. He has been making good progress and seems to be on track for the start of the regular season. He should be a weekly starting option in all leagues if he is healthy.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) took part in full-speed team drills on both Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18, in a red, non-contact practice jersey. He could transition to full contact as early as next week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, who writes that the "expectation" is for Nabers to play in Week 1, barring a setback.
Huddle Up: In 19 career games, Nabers has 127 receptions, 1,475 yards, and nine touchdowns. While it's possible that it will take some time for him to get back to full speed coming back from a torn ACL, not to mention developing chemistry with Jaxson Dart, Nabers can be targeted as midrange WR2 that could push into the top 10.

Free-agent RB Najee Harris (Chargers) is meeting with the New York Giants Monday, Aug. 17.
Huddle Up: The Giants have Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy on the roster, so Harris may not receive a big role if he decides to sign with the Giants. He has had success in the past but will not have much fantasy value if he only sees a limited role.

New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely caught both of his targets for 11 yards during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: After being trapped behind Mark Andrews in Baltimore, Likely will have a chance to spread his wings with the Giants. Jaxson Dart wasn't shy about leaning on his tight ends as a rookie, which should bode well for Likely. Don't be surprised if he has a career year and finishes as a TE1.

New York Giants WR Malachi Fields caught all three of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: Perhaps the most encouraging sign for Fields was that his touchdown reception came on a throw from Jaxson Dart. Granted, Malik Nabers didn't play, but it looks like Fields is in the mix for a starting spot to start the year. The rookie could be worth snatching up as a WR5.

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo rushed four times for 19 yards during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: Skattebo is working his way back from a serious ankle injury that ended his rookie season early, but he is back and ready to lead the New York backfield in 2026. Tyrone Tracy Jr. will cut into his workload, but Skattebo possesses three-down ability and should handle the goal line work. Skattebo should be in the RB2 mix.

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart completed three of his four passes for 26 yards and a touchdown during the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, Aug. 15.
Huddle Up: While Dart was sharp throwing the ball in limited action, he also took a pair of sacks and briefly had to leave the game. Dart flashed his upside as a rookie, but he will have to find a way to avoid injuries without sacrificing all of his scrambling ability. Dart offers QB1 upside, but the risk is real.

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (head) left the preseason game early Saturday, Aug. 15 but was cleared to return after being checked for a possible concussion.
Huddle Up: Fantasy can keep an eye on the situation to see if Dart experiences any symptoms in the next few days. He has the ability to make plays with both his arm and legs, which makes him a solid No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) could start participating in team drills as soon as next week, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Huddle Up: Nabers has been making solid progress in his recovery and seems to have a good chance to be ready for Week 1. He is one of the better receivers in the NFL when he is healthy and should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (leg) exited practice early Friday, Aug. 7, after stretching his left leg, but head coach John Harbaugh said he didn't think Skattebo was dealing with anything serious.
Huddle Up: Although it doesn't sound like Skattebo had a setback as he returns from last year's significant ankle injury, there has to be a little concern over his health due to his aggressive running style. If he stays healthy, Skattebo could be a sneaky RB1, but he is best viewed as a high-risk, high-reward RB2.

New York Giants WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios, Isaiah Hodgins, and Odell Beckham Jr. are likely competing for one spot, according to ESPN's Jordan Raaman, though he adds that a second spot could initially be available depending on the health of WR Malik Nabers (knee).
Huddle Up: Raaman states that there are four locks -- Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, and Calvin Austin III -- so despite some residual name value for guys like Beckham and Smith-Schuster, nobody in this group is worth targeting in fantasy drafts as it would likely take multiple injuries for them to see meaningful action on Sundays.

New York Giants TE Isaiah Likely is expected to be a utility weapon rather than a traditional tight end, and the team seems intent on featuring him in all three levels. The Giants move him throughout the formation, and he has displayed clear early chemistry with QB Jaxson Dart.
Huddle Up: When Mark Andrews was out two seasons ago, Likely broke out with a 42-477-6 line in John Harbaugh's offense. He's the guy with the Giants and could be the second or third option in the passing attack. He's a midrange TE1 with some upside.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) said he does not have a timetable for his return and that he will play when he is ready. He has been participating in individual drills during training camp.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during training camp to see if Nabers will be ready for Week 1. He is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy, but fantasy players may not have him available early in the season.

New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. is the "leader in the clubhouse" to win the final spot on the WR depth chart in 2026, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
Huddle Up: While Beckham Jr. is now favored to make the 53-man roster of the Giants, he is not a factor in fantasy football in 2026, at this point.

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hernia) will not be placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list despite missing most of the offseason workouts because of hernia surgery.
Huddle Up: Slayton is in line to be one of the starting receivers for the Giants if he stays healthy and will probably see a few targets each game. He can be a late round pick in leagues but is unlikely to be a starting option most weeks.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) will not start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
Huddle Up: Nabers will likely be eased into practice but seems to have a chance to be ready for the start of the regular season. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation because Nabers is a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues when healthy.

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has "a realistic possibility" to play in Week 1, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
Huddle Up: Nabers is bouncing back from a torn ACL, and his rehab journey has been long, but this seems to be the first big ray of hope. A healthy Nabers in the lineup has the potential to be a WR1, but fantasy players should temper expectations and embrace a floor as a WR2.
