Janoris Jenkins has been the topic of speculation as teams are reportedly "sniffing" around the veteran CB ahead of next week's trade deadline.

There are several teams in on Jenkins that are in need of CB help. Jenkins has been inconsistent on the field, but he has shown upside as a near shutdown corner.

Janoris Jenkins recorded five solo tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass defensed in the New York Giants' Week 7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Jenkins played poorly for his team and got burned repeatedly, but produced well for fantasy owners.

CB Janoris Jenkins recorded one solo tackle and one assisted tackle in the New York Giants' Week 6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jenkins, the 23rd-ranked DB to this point, made little impact as the Giants were blown out by the Eagles on Thursday Night Football.

TMZ is reporting that a dead body was found at Giants starting cornerback Janoris Jenkins' home in New Jersey.

A horrible situation, though Jenkins is reportedly not a suspect in the crime. As it turns out, it was a friend of his who was staying in his house while Jenkins was out of state in Florida with the Giants. There will likely be more details on this story to come, as it's being invested as a strangulation/suffocation homicide.

NFL Network's Kim Jones is reporting New York Giants DB Janoris Jenkins (ankle) is officially active for Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

With Jenkins active, he'll likely blanket Eagles wideout Alshon Jeffery for most of the day. However, since he is coming off an ankle injury, he may not be 100 percent, which works in Jeffery's favor. Sill, I'd temper expectations for Jeffery in this one. He is a risky mid-tier WR2, who could be TD-dependent, for Week 3.
