Jalin Hyatt Fantasy Stats

According to Jordan Schultz, New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has signed with the team's practice squad on Monday. Hyatt was cut from the 53-man roster over the weekend. However, the 24-year-old is back with the Giants after passing through waivers unclaimed. Hyatt is a former third-round pick of the Giants from 2023. He hasn't reached 10 receptions in a single season since his rookie campaign. He'll serve as depth on the practice squad, but there's really no reason to roster Hyatt in any fantasy formats.

The New York Giants have waived wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Hyatt had a very high ceiling coming out of college at Tennessee. During his final season at school, he won the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the most outstanding receiver in college football. He went on to be drafted by the Giants in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he never lived up to the hype. His best season came in 2023 as a rookie, when he caught 23 passes for 373 yards. He tallied just 13 catches over two years since then, and he's still searching for his first NFL touchdown. His quest for the end zone will have to continue somewhere else, as the Giants are cutting ties with him. Hyatt is the odd man out from a receiver room that features Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, and Odell Beckham Jr.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt had a "strong" minicamp earlier this month, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. A third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Hyatt is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has struggled to carve out a consistent role with the Giants to this point in his career. Across eight games in 2025, the 24-year-old recorded just five receptions for 35 yards on 14 targets. However, New York enters the 2026 season with a seemingly open competition for playing time at wide receiver, particularly with star wideout Malik Nabers (knee) still recovering from a knee injury. Hyatt will also will be working with a new coaching staff in 2026, which could offer the fresh start he needs. In deeper league formats, fantasy managers may want to consider throwing a dart at Hyatt if he continues to draw rave reviews throughout the rest of the summer.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Hyatt was listed as questionable. He missed two consecutive practices before upgrading to a limited participant on Friday. The 24-year-old had been a healthy scratch in each of the last two weeks, and he played just four snaps over the last five games. As a result, it's unclear if Hyatt's absence is related to his illness or if he's merely a healthy scratch. Regardless, his absence is notable in a game where the Giants will also be without Wan'Dale Robinson (rib), Ryan Miller (coach's decision), and Theo Johnson (illness). Darius Slayton will operate as the Giants' No. 1 receiver while Gunner Olszewski, Isaiah Hodgins, and Xavier Gipson also get more involved.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. The former third-round pick continues to be an afterthought in the Giants' offense, and this week, it will cost him his spot on the gameday roster. Hyatt played only 6% of the offensive snaps in Week 15, and he has caught just five of his 14 targets for 35 yards this season. His absence is likely a direct result of Gunner Olszewski (concussion) returning from his one-week absence. The 24-year-old can be left on waivers in fantasy football.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is a healthy scratch for the Monday night game against the New England Patriots to close out Week 13 action, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This will be just the second time all year, and the first since Week 8, that Hyatt will sit without dealing with an injury. The 24-year-old will be the odd-man out for a receiving corps that will roll with Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski, and Dalen Cambre as they look to upset the Pats in primetime. The Giants will head into their bye in Week 14, so the next chance Hyatt will have to play will be on Sunday, Dec. 14, against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Hyatt has not been very involved in New York's offense in his third year in the league, catching five of 13 targets for only 35 yards and no touchdowns in seven games.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt should handle increased opportunities against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11 with Darius Slayton (hamstring) sidelined. The 24-year-old is still searching for some sort of third-year breakout, as he's never finished higher than WR98 (PPR) in an individual season, nor has he scored a touchdown. His usage has remained minimal this year, as he's caught just three passes for 17 yards. The 24-year-old hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7, but that should change this week as Hyatt steps into a larger role with Slayton ruled out. In fact, he'll likely operate as the team's No. 3 wide receiver behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Gunner Olszewski. The Giants enter this weekend with Jameis Winston as their temporary starting quarterback, and his gunslinging mentality should bode well for the Giants' receivers. However, despite the increased role and intriguing quarterback pairing, Hyatt's lack of a track record makes him tough to trust in your fantasy lineups. He has WR3/flex upside, but managers can probably find better options elsewhere on the waiver wire.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is receiving another opportunity to prove his fantasy value in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. Yet he remains an unreliable option given his minimal production this season. Hyatt has done little with his chances, registering only three receptions for 17 yards on the year, making him essentially unplayable in fantasy leagues. The silver lining is the opponent: the Bears rank 30th against WRs, giving up a league-high 38.63 points per contest. Furthermore, Chicago has allowed 20 passing touchdowns on the season, indicating a high-scoring environment where Hyatt could benefit from a deep shot. Still, based on his season-long performance of only five targets, he is not to be started in any leagues.

With star wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, there have been plenty of opportunities for wide receivers to step up for the New York Giants. Unfortunately for both himself and the team, third-year wideout Jalin Hyatt has failed to cash in on that opportunity. Across five games played in 2025, Hyatt has recorded three catches for 17 yards on nine targets. He's clearly behind both Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton on the Giants' wide receiver depth chart, and Hyatt was out-snapped by wideouts Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Beaux Collins in New York's Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. Across his last 19 games played, Hyatt has just 11 total receptions. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (ankle) no longer carries an injury designation heading into Sunday's game versus the Denver Broncos. The wideout was limited at practice throughout the week. Fortunately, he'll be out there, which is good news, considering the G-Men won't have Darius Slayton (hamstring) in Week 7. Hyatt has been quiet from a fantasy standpoint throughout the 2025 campaign, collecting only three of his eight targets for 17 yards. While he could see an uptick in targets from Jaxson Dart behind Wan'Dale Robinson, he still shouldn't be considered a practical fantasy option against a tough Broncos defense.
