Parris Campbell

Despite the New York Giants' thrilling 31-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Parris Campbell's fantasy managers were left wanting more.

Fantasy Impact

The 26-year-old wide receiver was targeted six times, but only managed to reel in four of those for a meager 21 yards. His longest gain of the day was a nine-yard catch, and he failed to find the end zone. His season stats aren't very inspiring, with only 23 receiving yards and zero touchdowns on 10 targets. Currently ranked as WR70 for the week and WR86 for the season, Campbell will need to step up his game when the Giants face the San Francisco 49ers next week. Despite the lackluster performance, Campbell's involvement in the Giants' passing game is a positive sign, and he could be due for a breakout game soon. But for now, fantasy managers might want to keep Campbell on the bench until he starts cooking up some bigger numbers.

Parris Campbell hauled in one of his four targets for two yards in the Giants' 40-0 Week 1 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Campbell was unable to find much space in the Giants passing game despite finishing tied for second on the team in targets, finishing with just one catch on the night. The pass-catcher will look to turn his favorable target share into more consistent production beginning with a Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Parris Campbell returned to Giants practice on Friday following a rest day on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Campbell signed a one-year deal with the Giants this offseason. He could benefit from a change of scenery after struggling to stay healthy for the most part with the Colts. It is tough to imagine him being super fantasy relevant in most traditional leagues.

According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, WR Parris Campbell stood out in minicamp for the New York Giants, leading the receivers in catches and getting work in the backfield.

Fantasy Impact

Campbell showed his potential as a weapon in Indianapolis but never put it all together for a season until 2022. Campbell's work in the backfield could be a sign that the team wants to find creative ways to use him in the receiving game. Duggan mentioned that it's important to see if this is impacted by the return of sophomore WR Wan'Dale Robinson from injury who plays a similar role. Campbell had 623 receiving yards in 2022, which would have ranked second on the Giants last season.

Parris Campbell took reps at running back during the Giants' minicamp sessions this week.

Fantasy Impact

There probably isn't a whole lot to look into here. Saquon Barkley remains unsigned, so it's possible Campbell is merely filling some running back work in his absence. It's also possible that the Giants have plans to hand off the football to Campbell from time to time in 2023. After all, he is a versatile athlete and rushed 11 times over four seasons with the Colts. Let's chalk this development up to the Giants exploring ways to get their new addition involved. That could bode well for Campbell's production in 2023.
