Team news: New York Giants | Page 9

Daboll said he spoke with rookie Malik Nabers last night and again this morning. Nabers was extremely frustrated after the game. “He’s a very competitive individual."

Nabers and another teammate called the team soft after their loss to Tampa Bay. Daboll added he wants "to get the ball in Nabers hands and I’ve got to do a better job of getting the ball in his hands early,” the post went on to say. Nabers didn’t have a catch until the Giants were down 23-0 in the second half. The good news from a fantasy angle is this could mean the Giants make sure to get Nabers the ball right out of the gate in Week 13, which is on Thanksgiving Day against the Cowboys. It should be a good matchup for Nabers, but he remains a risky play based on whoever the QB is getting him the ball, which looks to be Tommy DeVito again. He should continue to get his targets, however.

Rookie WR Malik Nabers is questionable for Sunday.

Nabers missing this weekend would put a cherry on top of a wild week for the Giants. Tommy DeVito would operate with Robinson as his WR1, which makes him a volume-based target, particularly in PPR leagues, along with Tracy taking more underneath opportunities.

A separate report *did* mention that Nabers plans to play despite the designation, so don't panic quite yet.

Early prognosis is Falcons WR Darnell Mooney's hamstring injury from Sunday is not serious, per source.

It's certainly good news for a Falcon offense that struggled in Week 11. The team now has a bye in Week 12, so the time off will hopefully be perfect timing for a Mooney Week 13 return. The Falcons host the Chargers in the early slate of games that Sunday. If Mooney has to miss time, McCloud will likely slide in as the team's WR2.

Tyron Smith has been ruled out for Sunday. Davante Adams is on track to play.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley

Adams had an illness and wrist injury pop up through the week, but it seems like he'll be good to go, which places him in WR2 range as a volume play.

Davante Adams is not practicing today, Ulbrich said. He has an illness and some wrist soreness.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Xavier Gipson, Malachi Corley, Tyler Conklin

Adams took 13 targets for 31 yards last week, which is definitely enough to make anyone feel ill. He now has 206 yards on 38 targets over his Jets tenure, for a cool 5.42 yards per target. He's definitely getting the volume, but should be considered a moderate WR2 if he suits up.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski says Jameis Winston remains the starting QB coming off the bye.

DTR has served as Winston’s backup over the last two games. Even with the Browns struggles this season, Stefanski doesn't seem to be heading toward making another change at QB to see what Thompson-Robinson could potentially do with the offense, according to the story. Winston has had his struggles at times, but there is fantasy upside potential for those planning to start Winston. He's best served as a QB2 option in superflex leagues.

Todd Bowles said Mike Evans is the only player ruled out — Greg Gaines and Jalen McMillan are the biggest question marks for Sunday vs. 49ers.

Related Players: Sterling Shepard, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller, Cade Otton

This wide receiver room is on the tipping point of being one of the worst in the league, so hopefully we see McMillan cleared in time. Outside of him, Cotton remains the only pass-catcher we can play with any certainty.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Falcons believe receiver Drake London suffered a hip pointer during Sunday’s win over the Cowboys.

London went down in the first half and did not return. He’s set to undergo further testing on Monday, but if it is a hip pointer, it’s not a long-term issue, the story pointed out, which is good news for owners. The Falcons get a nice matchup at the Saints in Week 10, in what is an early Sunday game so owners should have time to plan around London's availability. The Falcons do have their bye week coming up in Week 12.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after the game that Jameis Winston remains the team’s starter.

Related players: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Zappe

Winston finished the game 26-of-46 for 235 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. He was also sacked six times. All three of Winston’s interceptions came in Chargers territory, the story pointed out. The Browns have DTR and Zappe waiting in the wings, but neither would bring the upside Winston brings to the offense. Unfortunately with Winston, fantasy owners will get the downside too, much like in Week 9.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. is progressing again today. Barring an unexpected setback, the Giants’ top RB is expected to be cleared from the concussion protocol and start Sunday

Related Players: Devin Singletary, Eric Gray

This is fantastic news, as Tracy has been killing it with his recent heightened role. Over the last four games, he has handled 75 opportunities and produced RB13 numbers (15.0 half-PPR points per game). Fire him up as an RB2 once again.
