Team news: New York Giants | Page 2

Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to play Thursday vs. Eagles, per sources.

Hamstring on a short week is tough. Will be out barring surprising uptick.

An already-thin pass-catching group gets even thinner in a tough divisional matchup. Jaxson Dart has used his legs effectively through his first two starts, but his ceiling is dangerously low for managers anticipating streaming him.

Robinson, likewise, is a low-ceiling WR3 play, while Johnson can be streamed as a top-15 option at tight end.

Brian Daboll is optimistic RB Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) will be able to make his return Thursday night.

Related players: Cam Skattebo

Tracy returned to practice last week but was unable to go in Sunday's game against the Saints. Skattebo has led the way and will likely do so again this week even if Tracy returns on Thursday night against the Eagles. Although opposing teams have had success running the ball against the Eagles this year, Tracy owners probably want to monitor the workload he gets before inserting him back into lineups.

In all likelihood, the quarterback capable of breathing life into the Bengals’ season isn’t on the roster.

Current backup Brett Rypien and practice squad quarterbacks Sean Clifford and Mike White are not in consideration to replace Browning this weekend against the Packers.

Any options left open to, theoretically, replace Jake Browning in Green Bay would have to come from outside the building.

Reports Tuesday say the team has released White, which could be an indication a new face is on the way in. Three of the bigger names to be stop-gaps until Joe Burrow returns are Cousins, Wilson and Winston, but it remains to be seen if the Bengals pull the trigger and make a deal. The Bengals are hoping to stay in the hunt until Burrow returns and the talent is still there on offense. It also looks like Browning has another chance this week to keep his starting spot.

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains on the team’s injury report heading into a Thursday game against the Eagles.

Dart was a full participant all of last week, but he’s listed as limited on Monday’s report. It is just an estimation of Dart’s participation level because the team did not actually hold a practice.

Dart was 26-of-40 for 202 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Sunday’s 26-14 loss to the Saints. Dart also ran seven times for 55 yards and lost a fumble in the game, the story said. Slayton was listed as a non-participant due to a hamstring and Tracy (shoulder) was also limited, the story said.

The Giants are listing RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) as doubtful for Sunday vs. the Saints.

RB Cam Skattebo (knee) is off the injury report and good to go, as is QB Jaxson Dart (left hamstring). DL Dexter Lawrence (illness) is questionable.

We should see another healthy dose of Skattebo after the team made it clear they want to ride the run game as much as possible with a rookie QB and an injured Malik Nabers. Skattebo should be considered an RB2 and has legit 25-30 touch upside if the game stays close at all.

Giants star WR Malik Nabers does, in fact, have a torn ACL, the MRI at Hospital for Special Surgery confirmed. He’s out for the season.

This actually negatively impacts the entire offense, but the three pass-catchers listed above are the ones who will theoretically get the largest target share boosts. This is terrible news for Jaxson Dart, who exhibited some nice wheels in his first start but will more be missing a stud wide receiver. Robinson should be considered in the WR2/3 range moving forward.

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney suffered a hamstring injury yesterday in Atlanta's win, but with the bye coming up, it's likely that he doesn't have to miss any games, sources say.

Related Players: Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Ray-Ray McCloud

It's been a tough year for Mooney, who missed Week 1 due to a lingering shoulder issue before logging only 29 snaps in Week 4 before exiting. He has seven catches on the season and can be dropped in most leagues over the bye.

Giants WR Malik Nabers was carted off the field with a knee injury during Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

Nabers’ knee appeared to buckle while going for a deep pass and leaping for the ball. He immediately grabbed his knee and did not get up. We’ll have updates on this injury but early speculation (emphasis on the word speculation) is it could be a torn ACL. We’ll wait for confirmation on the actual injury.

Update: Multiple reports are now saying it is indeed likely a torn ACL for Nabers.

Good news for Jaxson Dart: Giants WR Malik Nabers (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the Chargers.

RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) is out as expected.

This seems to be a weekly occurrence for whatever reason, but Nabers continues to produce in fantasy outside of Week 3's disastrous offensive performance. Jaxson Dart is very likely to continue targeting Nabers at one of the highest rates in the league.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield (biceps) Tristan Wirfs (knee) and Chris Godwin (ankle) are all questionable for Sunday but trending the right way. Mayfield should be able to play.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, Ryan Miller

Even with Mike Evans out, we can't be certain that the Bucs are going to roll out Godwin with a full complement of snaps in Week 4. Egbuka should be considered a strong WR2, while Godwin is more of a WR4 until we see him back in a full-time role.
