Free agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay worked out for the New York Jets on Wednesday but will not sign at this time, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Jets hosted a few free agents on Wednesday, according to Pelissero, including quarterback Anthony Brown, running back Ellis Merriweather, and wide receivers James Proche II and Jeff Smith. Golladay, who was one of the biggest free agent flops in recent memory, will continue to look elsewhere for a new home. The New York Giants released him just two years into a four-year, $72 million deal back in March. He's still just 29 years old and posted back-to-back 1000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019 with the Detroit Lions so he could get another shot elsewhere.
The New York Giants will release wide receiver Kenny Golladay on the first day of the new league year on March 15, according to a source. By waiting until March 15, the Giants will save $6.7 million against the 2023 salary cap. Golladay was a massive bust for the G-Men after he signed a four-year, $72 million deal as a free agent in 2021. The 29-year-old repaid the Giants by catching just 43 of his 93 targets for 602 yards and one touchdown in 26 games (18 starts) in his time with the team the last two seasons. It was a precipitous fall for Golladay after he had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Detroit Lions in 2018 and 2019. Perhaps he can bounce back with a change of scenery, but it seems unlikely given Golladay's lack of separation in recent years with the Giants.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay hauled in two of his seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. With the Giants resting their starters ahead of the postseason, the expensive wideout got more playing time at wide receiver. Even though he was ineffective on the majority of his targets, the veteran wide receiver made an impressive touchdown grab, giving him his first touchdown as a member of the Giants. Despite scoring his first touchdown since 2020, Golladay likely won't see any snaps in next week's showdown versus the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card round.
Kenny Golladay, Lawrence Cager Inactive For Week 13
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (illness) and tight end Lawrence Cager (coach's decision) are inactive for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Golladay had been listed as questionable while Cager is a healthy scratch. The latter has appeared in seven games this season, catching four passes for 51 yards. Meanwhile, Cager's absence coincides with the return of Daniel Bellinger (eye).
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (illness) won't play during the Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 29-year-old is dealing with an illness and woke up feeling worse than he did yesterday. That being said, the Giants will have Golladay sit this one out. Darius Slayton (illness) is questionable for this game, but would likely see an uptick in targets, assuming he plays. Fellow wideout Richie James (knee) is also questionable for this game, but would be a flex play if he plays on Sunday.
Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay Expected To Play Sunday
New York Giants wide receivers Darius Slayton (illness) and Kenny Golladay (illness) are expected to be active for Week 13 against the Washington Commanders, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Both players had been listed as questionable. Slayton has emerged as the Giants' most reliable receiver, catching 26 passes for 465 yards and two touchdowns over the course of his last seven games. He ranks as a mid-to-low WR3 this week. Meanwhile, Golladay has remained incredibly disappointing, catching just four catches and 51 yards through seven games this season. He is not on the fantasy radar.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (illness) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is now questionable to play in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. The Giants could be short-handed at receiver on Sunday, as Darius Slayton (illness) and Richie James (knee) are also up in the air to play. The 29-year-old Golladay is nowhere near fantasy relevance this year, catching only four of 10 targets for 51 yards in seven games. Depending on which receivers can actually play for the Giants this weekend, Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson and David Sills could see expanded roles in the passing attack against the Commanders.
Kenny Golladay, Wan'Dale Robinson Active For Week 11
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) are both active for Sunday's Week 11 contest. This is good news for the Giants offense as they head into a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions. The return of Golladay won't mean too much. He has two receptions through five games this season. He'll be a desperation deep league streaming option for this game. Robinson will have interesting flex appeal in this game. He has favorable upside and the Lions have trouble stopping any offense.
Kenny Golladay, Wan'Dale Robinson Questionable For Week 11
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) are both listed as questionable heading into a juicy matchup with the Detroit Lions. Even if Golladay plays, he's far from the fantasy radar as he's caught just two passes for 22 yards this season. However, Wan'Dale Robinson is an interesting flex option since he has gotten involved in the offense in recent weeks, and Detroit has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers through ten weeks.
New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He returned to action after missing four games due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old is dealing with a hamstring issue and has been limited in practice this week. He will have one more chance to log a full practice to increase his chances of suiting up against his former team, the Detroit Lions, in Week 11. The veteran has two catches for 22 yards over five games in 2022. If active, Golladay is far from the fantasy radar and should be avoided against the Lions in Week 11.
