Giants get boost at wide receiver

Pat Leonard via Twitter

The Giants had WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring), Darius Slayton (hamstring), and Kadarius Toney (ankle) all practiced in some capacity Wednesday. Shepard and Slayton have missed the past two games while Toney was injured in Week 5's loss to Dallas.

Fantasy Impact:

The returns of Shepard and Slayton are huge, especially if Daniel Jones (concussion) were to miss Week 6 and Mike Glennon starts. A healthy wide receiver corps is needed with the Los Angeles Rams visiting Week 6.

Giants Beat: Game plan going forward sure to feature WR Kadarius Toney

Kadarius Toney was banged up late against the Cowboys and is dealing with an ankle problem that has his status for Sunday's game against the Rams in doubt. Still, he is proving he might be the scariest weapon on this offense, even when running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) are healthy. The game plan is sure to feature him significantly more moving forward than early this season, when he was still getting up to speed.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went as far to say Toney "needs" to be a big part of the game plan going forward. However, as the story also said, Toney is banged up at the moment with an ankle injury so he may not suit up for Week 6. The same can be said for Shepard and Slayton as well. And, if Toney is a big part going forward when everyone is healthy, Shepard and Slayton likely move down a notch on the depth chart.

Rapoport: Giants WR Kenny Golladay (knee) expected to miss Week 6

Giants WR Kenny Golladay is expected to miss this week with a knee injury, source said.

Fantasy Impact:

That Giants are banged up at all their skill positions. But, Golladay's injury status is a major sigh of relief all around for the Giants. The initial fear was that it was major, according to the tweet, but should be just a week or two, according to Rapoport. Still, Shepard and Slayton have missed the last two weeks and now Toney could miss time with a foot/ankle injury. With Saquon Barkley out, and QB Daniel Jones' status up in the air with a concussion, the G-men could be looking at Ross, Johnson and Board as their top three WRs in Week 6 ... with Mike Glennon at QB ... and at home against the Rams defense.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney dealing with foot/ankle injury

Giants rookie WR Kadarius Toney appeared to hurt his foot/ankle in the game and Joe Judge said he saw a doctor today.

Fantasy Impact:

Golladay also left the game and Shepard and Slayton have been out dealing with soft tissue injuries. As for Toney, "I don't think it's anything significant, in terms of season-ending," Judge said. But it does sound like his status is in doubt for this week, according to the tweet. QB Daniel Jones is possibly out as well, which would leave the QB1 spot to Mike Glennon. The Giants offense looks like one to stay away from as they host the Rams in Week 6. If Slayton and Shepard are out, Ross, Johnson and Board could be the team's WRs.
