Team news: New York Giants

The #Giants and Kenny Golladay have a 4 year, $72M deal with a max of $76M with $40m guaranteed

All due respect to T.Y. Hilton and James Conner, the last big-name free agent is now off the board. Golladay's arrival is certainly good news for Daniel Jones, though the usage of the other receivers (especially Darius Slayton, who typically gets a large share of the team's air yards), will take a hit. Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram should continue to be involved, but instead of seeing 7.5 and 6.8 targets per game (respectively), Shepard may see 6-7 while Engram sees 5.5-6.5 targets per game. Golden Tate's departure will free up 4.3 targets per game. As for Golladay, compared to his value in Detroit with Matthew Stafford, this is a downgrade. Not only is he changing teams, but he's likely to see a downgrade at quarterback and a possible (if slight) decline in targets.

Former Vikings' TE Kyle Rudolph reached agreement with the New York Giants.

Your sources are reliable. #Giants are, in fact, signing Mike Glennon.

RB Devontae Booker agrees to terms with the New York Giants on a two-year, $6-million deal, per source. Booker with Saquon Barkley in the backfield.

Coming off a backup role in Las Vegas, Devontae Booker should see a similar situation in New York, with Saquon Barkey returning from injury. Booker has shown pass-catching prowess in his past, so could see a decent amount of work should Barkley sustain an injury again in 2021.

The #Lions don’t plan to tag WR Kenny Golladay, per source.

No final decision on whether Detroit may use a tag on someone else, but it appears Golladay is headed to the market.

Headed to free agency, Kenny Golladay is a WR2 headed into 2021, but landing spot could impact his fantasy output this season. Golladay only played five contests last year in Detroit.

The #Vikings are releasing veteran TE Kyle Rudolph, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. End of an era in Minnesota.

Fire up Irv Smith Jr. for 2021, as the third-year TE will finally get the starting gig in Minnesota barring something happening this offseason.

According to Tim Twentyman on Twitter, Detroit Lions head coach Darell Bevell confirmed that wide receiver Kenny Golladay will miss Week 17.

Golladay is a WR1 level producer when healthy, unfortunately for his 2020 fantasy managers, availability was a major issue for Golladay this season. With a new contact (hopefully) in tow to open 2021, Golladay should be healthy and rearing to go for next season. He could come at a relative value in early redraft league draft rooms and could provide even more value if Detroit decides to add one of the talented receivers set to enter the league in the 2021 NFL Draft. Golladay will finish the season with just five games played, recording 20 receptions, 338 receiving yards, and two touchdowns.

In what might be Kyle Rudolph’s last season with the Vikings, the tight end will not be able to play in Week 17.

Minnesota announced on Tuesday that it placed Rudolph on IR. The Vikings still have Irv Smith Jr., Tyler Conklin and Hale Hentges at the tight end position, barring any of those three suffering injuries.

With Smith coming on as the team's top TE target, Rudolph may be out in 2021. Smith had a huge game on Christmas Day, posting a 6-53-2 line. For the season he has 28 catches for 335 yards and five TDs, but three of those TDs and 153 yards have come over the last three weeks.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (hamstring, ankle) will start Sunday against the Ravens.

This was the expectation all week after Jones missed Week 15. The Giants did next to nothing against the Browns, so they’re hoping getting Jones back will give them a boost in what’s just about a must-win game against the Ravens. A loss plus a Washington win eliminates the Giants and gives Washington the NFC East title.
