Janoris Jenkins Fantasy

Teams are expressing interest in trading for both New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins and Oakland Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley with the cornerback market heating up with the Oct. 30 deadline quickly approaching. The Eagles, Patriots and Steelers are among the teams exploring their options. The Giants and Raiders are both well out of the race already and are in rebuilding mode, with the Raiders no secrets to trades, already dealing All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack and wide receiver Amari Cooper. Neither Jenkins nor Conley have played very well this year, but they could be an upgrade for a team in need of secondary help.

The New York Giants placed cornerback Janoris Jenkins (ankle) on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury, according to Jordan Raanan on Twitter. Jenkins performed well over the last two weeks after being called out by the coaching staff for a lack of effort in the previous weeks. Without Jenkins in the secondary, the Giants should be even more susceptible to the pass, and the deep ball in particular. The Giants face the Raiders in Oakland this week.

Following the New York Giants Week 12 loss to the Washington Redskins on Thursday night, star cornerback Janoris Jenkins (ankle) was spotted in a walking boot, per Art Stapleton on Twitter. Jenkins suffered an apparent ankle injury during his interception return that was the Giants only touchdown of the game. If Jenkins is out for any length of time, that will certainly hamper an already poor secondary.
