Team news: New York Giants | Page 1

Giants tight end Darren Waller was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will play Sunday against the Saints.

Waller was able to practice this week after having his window to return opened this week. Waller reportedly looked good in practice. He should be right back involved in the passing game for the Giants and add a strong weapon for quarterback Tommy DeVito. Waller is No. 18 on our tight end board this week in what could be a good matchup against Saints.

TE Darren Waller has been designated for return and will return to practice today.

Bellinger wasn't able to do much with his extended playing time outside of a couple of three-catch, 40-yard performances. Waller should do much more if he's on the field, and should be considered a top-12 option if he is a full participant for the rest of the week.

Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was sidelined for Week 14 by a groin injury suffered in practice. But there’s a chance he’ll be able to play against the Eagles next week.

One of the things that helps Smith’s chances is the extra time Seattle will have to prepare for the matchup, which was recently flexed to Monday night. While that's good news for Smith, it's bad news for owners who may not have the luxury to wait out a game-time call. Owners counting on Smith are going to need a backup plan.

Geno Smith is questionable for Sunday. He has a new injury, "stumbling" over a teammate in practice Thursday.

Yes, Drew Lock is readying to start at the 49ers.

This isn't great news for Seahawks fantasy pieces, let alone Drew Lock as a fantasy option.
The last time we saw Lock with significant playing time was the final three games of the Broncos season in 2021. He would throw one touchdown and 560 yards on 82 pass attempts. He shouldn't be considered in any league type, if possible.

Eagles’ TE Dallas Goedert is not listed on Philadelphia’s injury report and is expected to play Sunday night vs. the Cowboys.

Goedert looks to see in-game action for the first time since Week 9, and it comes against a huge divisional game against the Dallas Cowboys. His target share will always be somewhat capped with DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown on the field, but he has notched two huge games for a struggling fantasy position: 8-117-1 in Week 5 and 5-77-1 in Week 7.

Eagles’ RB D’Andre Swift was not listed on today’s injury report, and TE Dallas Goedert was a full participant at today’s practice.

Swift coming off the injury report so early in the week should point towards his typical role within the explosive offense.

Tommy DeVito will get another start at quarterback for the Giants.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll made the announcement about the team’s plans for Week 14 on Tuesday. The story went on to say DeVito has started the last three games, but there was some question about who would get the nod for Monday night against the Packers because Taylor has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor is getting closer to a return.

Taylor is being designated for return from injured reserve and his 21-day practice window is being opened, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Taylor has been on injured reserve for the last four weeks after suffering a rib injury.

The story expects Taylor to eventually be activated. However, the team has gone 2-1 over the last three games with DeVito as the starter so it would seem to make more sense for the Giants to stick with DeVito and evaluate him for the rest of the season.

Eagles are listing TE Dallas Goedert as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers due to his forearm injury.

Related Players: Jack Stoll

It doesn't look like Goedert is trending towards playing in Week 13, so he'll likely miss at least one more week with his forearm injury. Jack Stoll has technically seen an increased workload, but that has parlay into four targets and 17 yards over the last two weeks. Goedert will return to a top-ten TE role when eligible.

Dallas Goedert: In my mind I’m ready to go, but I still have to talk to the doctors. Eagles TE practiced some today for first time since his forearm fracture.

The Eagles offense has essentially moved away from the tight end position with Goedert sidelined, but that should shift if he suits up in Week 13. With the state of the position in fantasy, Goedert can definitely be plugged back into lineups if he returns, as an end zone option on an explosive offense.
