Coach Brian Daboll especially “optimistic” about TE Daniel Bellinger.

The tweet went on to say Daboll said Bellinger is “Trending in the right direction. … optimistic for Belly." Bellinger was starting to come alive in the Giants offense before an eye injury in Week 7 against the Jags. In Week 2 he caught one ball but it was a 16-yard TD. From Weeks 3-6 he averaged over three catches and four targets a game while adding one more TD and averaging a little over 30 yards receiving per contest.

Jets running back Michael Carter left Sunday’s win over the Bears with an ankle injury, but the team isn’t ruling him out of their Week 13 trip to Minnesota at this point.

Head coach Robert Saleh said at his Monday press conference that Carter suffered a low ankle sprain. He added that the team sees him as day-to-day with a chance to play against the Vikings.

Carter has been the lead back for the Jets since Breece Hall tore his ACL, but the team’s other options had a good showing against the Bears. Rookie Knight ran for 69 yards and caught three passes for 34 yards while Johnson ran for a 32-yard touchdown. Robinson was inactive for that game, but could find his way back into the mix if Carter isn’t able to go this weekend, the story said. This could end up being a muddy situation fantasy-wise, especially if Carter plays but isn't 100 %. Hopefully we can learn more leading up to the game.

RB Michael Carter (ankle) is day-to-day. Head coach Robert Saleh said he'll have more info on Wednesday.

Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight split the load in a blowout win over the Bears, but they may have a third back in the rotation if Carter were to miss the entire game. It's too early in the week to make a broad call on the backfield but either back could make an interesting flier if we hear bad news about Carter's ankle later this week.

Wan'Dale Robinson tore his right ACL, per head coach Brian Daboll. His season is over.

Awful news for Robinson, who finally had his breakout game (9-100 on 13 targets) on Sunday. The Giants' dwindling receiver room gets even more depleted, and maybe the team will have to employ Kenny Golladay against their best wishes. Darius Slayton has become the team's de facto WR1, and we'll see how the rest of the usage breaks down, but Daniel Jones is going to have to keep making things happen with his legs.

Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lions with a knee injury.

Robinson was having a fantastic game, catching 9 passes for 100 yards. It will now be up to Darius Slayton to help lead the charge as the Lions look to make a comeback against the Lions.

Jerry Jones on 1053thefan on Ezekiel Elliott (knee): “We are a better team when we’ve got him and got him available. Defenses are well aware, more than anybody of his impact and his availability. I’m glad to have him back, and it does look like he’s gonna be available (Sunday).”

From the main man himself, it looks like Zeke will be available and, presumably, on the field for Sunday's action against the Vikings. The struggle continues for Tony Pollard managers, and neither can be considered an RB1 play if they're both on the field.

Per the article, if he never plays another down for the team — which is certainly possible, since he's nursing a hamstring injury while he sits at the bottom of the depth chart — they will have paid him approximately $1.03 million for every catch he made.

You know things are rough when people are writing entire exposes about how much of a disappointing signing you've been. Kenny Golladay can be safely dropped in all redraft formats, while dynasty managers are probably just stuck holding the bag until he lands on another team. Hopefully, that can ignite a spark in a player that hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2019.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott is expecting to return vs. the Vikings after missing two games with a hyperextended knee. “I’m definitely very optimistic about this week. Barring any setbacks the next couple of days, I’m feeling good…I think I’m in a good spot.” He will wear a brace.

The Cowboys have shown time and again that they are willing to run Zeke until his wheels fall off, much to the chagrin of Tony Pollard managers. If Elliott is indeed good to go, expect the team to revert back to the 1A/1B committee, which leaves both options closer to the RB2 range than the RB1 range.

During the second quarter against the Jaguars in Week 7, Daniel Bellinger caught a pass for a 13-yard gain before he was inadvertently poked in the eye by cornerback Devin Lloyd. Blood spilled on his white jersey as he was carted off the field.

Bellinger underwent surgery to repair fractures to his lower eye socket and damage to his septum and to insert a plate. The Giants hope he can return this season, and Bellinger is confident he will do just that.

Bellinger’s left eye remains a bit bloodshot and is not open fully. He said he is experiencing some double-vision, but it is improving on a daily basis, the story said. It added, Bellinger started running the past few days and will try to start lifting weights to see how his eye responds. He has not caught any passes since the injury. Bellinger has 16 receptions for 152 yards and leads the Giants with two touchdown catches.

The team returned from their bye week on Tuesday and Kenny Golladay was on the practice field. It’s the first time that Golladay has practiced since the Friday before their Week Four win over the Bears and Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Golladay should play against the Texans this weekend.

How much Golladay plays is a different question. We have him buried way down the team's depth chart.
