New York Giants

Fantasy Impact: Slayton has been the Giants' leading receiver in four of the past five seasons. He's been a consistent performer for this team despite being part of many inconsistent offences. With a very underwhelming WR depth chart as it currently stands, the Giants can ill-afford to lose Slayton. They'll be inclined to get this move done sooner rather than later.

New York Giants TE Darren Waller has not yet come to a decision in regards to his potential retirement this offseason, according to the Athletic. The 8-year veteran has dealt with a number of injuries that have caused him to miss a total of 19 games over the past 3 seasons. Waller also stated that he hopes to make a decision prior to the start of the NFL draft on April 25th. (Source: The Athletic )

Fantasy Impact: Waller's potential departure would result in an increased target share for the other pass-catching options on this roster, most notably Jalin Hyatt and Wan'Dale Robinson. Both of these players have shown flashes throughout their young careers. With more targets being thrown their way, Hyatt and/or Robinson may become very productive for fantasy if Waller decides to hang up the cleats. On the other hand, the move would negatively impact Daniel jones' fantasy outlook. This is a team that is bereft of offensive weapons and Jones can ill-afford to lose his most reliable pass-catching option.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that when veteran QB Daniel Jones "gets back, he'll be the guy," but was noncommittal on a timetable or a Week 1 return. (Source: Coral Smith, nfl.com)

Fantasy Impact: Daboll seemed confident in newly acquired QB Drew Lock, saying that "he knows what his role is going to be." However, he did reaffirm that, for now, Jones is the QB1 in New York. However, Daboll reportedly "balked at committing to a Week 1 return" but said Jones continues to improve health-wise. The Giants may give Jones one more year before it's easier to cut him after 2024, though their draft choices will indicate their plans.

Fantasy Impact: Lock inked a one-year deal with the Giants at the start of free agency. While it seemed likely that Lock would serve as the backup to Daniel Jones, but he will get a chance to compete according to what Seahawks GM John Schneider shared Thursday. The 27-year-old appeared in four games last season, completed 63.2% of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Isaiah Hodgins is not expected to be tendered as a restricted free agent and will hit the open market. (Source: Jordan Raanan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hodgins did not have a huge role last season, but he stepped up at times two years ago for the Giants. He should draw interest from teams as a depth receiver.

The Panthers have agreed to terms with A’Shawn Robinson on a three-year, $22.5 million deal. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson gets a long-term deal after spending one season with the Giants. He should provide a big boost to the defensive line for Carolina.

The Giants have signed Jermaine Eluemunor to a two-year, $14 million deal. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Eluemunor started 31 games across the past two seasons with the Raiders. He has experience at both left tackle and right guard.

The Jets have reportedly agreed to terms with Tyrod Taylor. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Taylor will backup Aaron Rodgers, providing the Jets with more stability than what they had in the quarterback room last season. He remains one of the most valuable backup quarterbacks in the NFL.

The Packers are signing S Xavier McKinney to a four-year, $68M deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: McKinney is set to earn $25M in his first season in Green Bay. The 25-year-old tallied 116 total tackles, one forced fumble, and three interceptions in 17 games with the Giants last season. McKinney will play an important role in the Packers’ secondary in 2024.

The Eagles and RB Saquon Barkley have agreed to terms on a three-year, $37.75M contract. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: The deal is worth up to $47.65M and includes $26M fully guaranteed. Barkley spent six years with the Giants and will now move to the division rival in Philadelphia as the team’s RB1. The veteran running back will be a highly sought after player in 2024 fantasy drafts.

The Giants D/ST surrendered 26 points on 391 yards of offense while coming up with three takeaways, four sacks, and a punt-return TD in Sunday's one-point loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: What a mixed-bag performance for the Giants' defense on Sunday. The unit came up with several big plays while allowing plenty of yards and points. From a fantasy perspective, things went great, as a 94-yard punt return from WR Gunner Olszewski in the fourth quarter capped off the day. The Giants will have no easy task taking on the Eagles in Week 18.

Mason Crosby hit 2 of 3 field-goal attempts and 1 of 2 extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Playing in just his second game of the season, Crosby did put seven points up on the board for the Giants. However, he also missed two kicks - one FG, one PAT - in the second half. The missed field goal, which could have completed an improbable comeback for the Giants, came from 54 yards with just 34 seconds remaining. Crosby has now hit 3 of 4 field-goal attempts and 3 of 4 extra points over the last two weeks.

Wan'Dale Robinson caught 6 of 9 targets for 55 yards and added a 24-yard touchdown run in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson led the Giants in receptions and targets Sunday afternoon. The second-year receiver has now caught at least three passes in six consecutive games, averaging 4.3 grabs per week in that span. His 24-yard run in the second quarter was the top highlight of his performance Sunday and resulted in his second touchdown of the season. Robinson is obviously a fixture in the Giants' offense.

Jalin Hyatt caught 3 of 4 targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact: Hyatt had not recorded a reception in either of the last two games, so this was a bit of a rebound for him. Still, there was not much to see in this middling performance, particularly on a day in which Tyrod Taylor threw for more than 300 yards. Hyatt has shown big-play ability at times this season, but he's been wildly inconsistent during his rookie campaign.

Dexter Lawrence II was sidelined at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Pat Leonard on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lawrence played in Monday's loss against the Eagles. He will have a couple more days to practice this week to have a chance of playing this weekend.

Tommy DeVito completed nine of his 16 passes for 55 yards and added a five-yard rush in a 33-25 loss to the Eagles in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact: DeVito was benched at halftime as the Giants sent Tyrod Taylor out to start at quarterback in the third quarter. DeVito struggled to move the ball against Philadelphia as the Giants only mustered three points in the first half. It remains to be seen which quarterback gets the start in Week 17 against the Rams.

The New York Giants have placed kicker Randy Bullock on season-ending injured reserve with a hamstring injury. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Giants are expected to play with K Cade York for the remainder of the season, with both Bullock and regular starter K Graham Gano injured. Bullock joined the team in Week 9 and converted five of six field-goal attempts and all 10 extra-point attempts. York is not an ideal candidate for the kicker position in the fantasy playoffs against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact: With starting kicker Randy Bullock injured in Week 15 — who ironically was playing in place of the injured Graham Gano — the Giants are set to have their fourth player of the season take a field-goal attempt for the team (their punter Jamie Gillan played spot kicker due to injury and nailed a 40-yarder). York spent his career with the Browns before being cut and now gets his first opportunity on a new team. He's converted 24 of 32 field goals and 35 of 37 extra-point attempts in his career.

The New York Giants are opening up RB Gary Brightwell's (hamstring) 21-day practice window, setting him up for a potential return from injured reserve. (Source: Jordan Raanan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: With just three weeks left in the regular season, if Brightwell can't return from the IR, he won't have to be shut down for the rest of the season. Brightwell has not played since Week 7, spending most of the season on IR. He has only carried the ball nine times and caught five passes, serving as a depth RB.

Matt Breida carried the ball three times for 10 yards and added two catches for 11 yards in a 24-6 loss to the Saints in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact: Breida mixed in behind starter Saquon Barkley in the lopsided loss. The veteran tailback only has fantasy value as a handcuff behind Barkley as the fantasy playoffs get into full swing. Breida will face the Eagles in Week 16.
