Russell Wilson Played Through Torn Hamstring

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) revealed on Monday that he played part of this past season with an undisclosed torn hamstring, according to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. The 37-year-old veteran said he suffered the injury on the final play of the Friday practice before the Week 2 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson said he suffered a Grade 2 tear, but he didn't tell the team. Despite the injury, Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-37 overtime loss, also adding 23 rushing yards on three carries. He said he didn't tell the Giants because of the circumstances of knowing that he was trying to hold off rookie QB Jaxson Dart from taking over the starting duties. Wilson eventually lost the starting gig to Dart. At this point in his career, Wilson profiles as a backup signal-caller as he looks to continue playing into the 2026 season.

Jaxson Dart Attracting Top Head-Coaching Candidates

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said that quarterback Jaxson Dart's name "has come up a lot" in terms of what will attract head-coaching candidates, according to The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll. "From the people I've talked to, the consensus is that there are a lot of potential head-coaching candidates that are excited about the opportunity here because of Jaxson Dart," Schoen said. The Giants already have their eyes on former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, and they will also interview interim head coach Mike Kafka, who has been a popular name in past coaching cycles. Dart's dual-threat abilities at the QB position were on display in his first 14 games in 2025. The first-rounder out of Ole Miss threw for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions while adding 487 rushing yards and nine more TDs. If Dart can learn to protect himself better as a runner, he has high-end QB1 upside in fantasy going into Year 2.

Wan'Dale Robinson Dealing With Fractured Ribs

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) said he fractured his ribs in the first half of the Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. Robinson finished playing in that game to get to 1,000 yards, but an MRI exam the following day revealed he played through fractured ribs. The 25-year-old was held out of the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. The impending free agent wideout said that he will take everything into account before deciding on whether to re-sign with the Giants or play elsewhere in 2026 and beyond. Robinson was a beast for fantasy managers in PPR leagues in 2025, catching 92 of his 140 targets for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. He should be fully healthy way ahead of training camp and the preseason, but his fantasy value could change drastically next year if he leaves the Giants.

Cam Skattebo Hopes to be Back by Training Camp

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) said he is hoping to be back healthy by training camp as the long-term goal, according to Evan Barnes of Newsday. There is no rush for Skattebo to be back for organized team activities in the spring. "I'm juiced to see what this franchise can be within the next five years," Skattebo said. The 23-year-old from Arizona State took over the Giants' backfield by midseason, but his rookie campaign came to an end when he dislocated his right ankle in Week 8. The bruising back ran for 410 yards and five touchdowns on 101 carries while also catching 24 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns as a receiver in eight games. Long term, Skattebo figures to be New York's lead back, but his fantasy value in 2026 will depend on how his recovery goes and whether he'll be ready for the start of the regular season in the fall.

Malik Nabers Unsure if He Will Be Ready for Week 1 of 2026 Season

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) told reporters he is "not really sure" if he will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season and that he had "a lot messed up" in his injured knee, per SNY's Connor Hughes. Nabers suffered a torn ACL and a torn meniscus in his right knee in late September, ending his 2025 season. However, swelling in the knee was severe enough that he did not undergo surgery until late October. Hughes reports that Nabers was spotted walking with the assistance of a cane on Sunday. When healthy, Nabers has been one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the NFL. Across 19 career games played, he's hauled in 127 receptions for 1,475 yards and nine touchdowns on 205 targets. It's not a great sign that the first few months of Nabers' recovery appear to be limited, but he still obviously has time to get healthy before 2026 training camp begins. Nabers' health will be a storyline for fantasy managers to closely monitor over the course of the offseason.

Russell Wilson Plans to Continue Playing in 2026

Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson said there is "no situation where he can't see himself playing football next year," per Connor Hughes of SNY. Wilson, who will turn 38 in November, is entering free agency after playing the 2025 season on a one-year contract with the New York Giants. He opened the season as the starter in New York but was benched for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart after three weeks of action. Across six games (three starts) overall in 2025, Wilson completed 58.0% of his pass attempts for 831 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. By the end of the year, Wilson was behind both Dart and Jameis Winston on the Giants' quarterback depth chart. Wilson may have a market as a veteran stopgap quarterback or a high-end backup, but it's difficult to envision him carrying fantasy value heading into 2026.

Jaxson Dart Tosses Two Touchdown Passes in Week 18 Win

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart finished his rookie season strong in his team's 34-17 Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys, completing 22 of 32 pass attempts for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Dart also recorded 32 rushing yards on five attempts. Heading into 2026, the 22-year-old looks like he could be one of the NFL's premier dual-threat quarterbacks. Across 13 games (11 starts) in 2025, Dart completed 63.7% of his pass attempts for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions while rushing for 487 yards and nine touchdowns on 86 attempts. Dart also played the majority of the season without star wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee), who could return from a torn ACL for the start of 2026. The Giants have plenty of questions to answer as they complete their third-straight double-digit loss season, but the organization appears to have found its franchise quarterback.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Catches Eight Passes in Dominant Outing Sunday

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed for 103 yards on 18 carries during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught eight of his nine targets for an additional 56 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The lone blemish of Tracy's performance was a third-quarter fumble. The second-year back finished the 2025 season with four touchdowns and over 1,000 scrimmage yards, filling in admirably for rookie Cam Skattebo (ankle). While we expect Skattebo to operate as the Giants' workhorse running back next year, Tracy is a valuable handcuff who has shown that he can be equally productive in the lead-back role.

Jalin Hyatt Inactive for Regular-Season Finale

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.

Darius Slayton Headed for Major Increase in Volume?

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is expected to handle increased volume with Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) and Theo Johnson (illness) both sidelined against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18. Robinson is headed for his first absence of the season, and Johnson has only been inactive one other time. Therefore, we haven't yet seen what Slayton can do as Jaxson Dart's No. 1 target. However, we have seen glimpses of his upside. He caught a touchdown pass in Week 13, handled 10 targets in Week 15, and has played at least 87% of the snaps in two of his last three games. The bigger role comes at a perfect time for Slayton and his managers, as the Cowboys have surrendered the league's most yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Managers should feel comfortable deploying Slayton as a strong WR2 option in fantasy football as he handles a bigger workload and gets a very enticing matchup.

Jaxson Dart Offers QB1 Upside to Close Out the Year

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is looking to finish his rookie campaign on a high note. Interim head coach Mike Kafka said that he'll play the starters despite this being a meaningless game for both teams. This is good news for Dart, who will have a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense. Last week, Dart only threw for 207 passing yards, but he salvaged his fantasy value with nine carries for 48 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. As long as the Giants don't limit Dart, he should offer QB1 upside as a dual-threat option against a below-average defense in Week 18.

Giants Place Wan'Dale Robinson on Injured Reserve

The New York Giants have placed wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) on Injured Reserve, ending his season. Robinson put together a career season in what could be his final year in New York as an upcoming free agent, hauling in 92 catches for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns on 140 targets. The 24-year-old wideout's per-target efficiency rebounded to 7.2 this season after a poor 5.0 mark last season, and he has remained one of the top target earners in the league since being drafted in 2022. The former second-rounder is one of only 12 wide receivers since 2022 with multiple seasons of 140+ targets. With Robinson ruled out, the Giants will rely on Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins as the top wideouts in Week 18's divisional matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. At the same time, Dalen Cambre, Jalin Hyatt (illness), and Gunner Olszewski are also likely to see increased playing time.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. a Safe-Floor Option Again in Week 18

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has seen at least 16 opportunities in three straight games since the team's Week 14 bye, and he should be in store for another high-volume, safe-floor performance in Sunday's Week 18 matchup with the Cowboys. Despite a stronger showing down the stretch, Dallas enters the final week of the season as the second-most-exploitable defense for fantasy running backs. Tracy has averaged over 77 yards from scrimmage across his last three games, and although he's only scored once in that span, he has seen an average of five looks per game from within the 20. He profiles as a low-end RB2 in Week 18, but if he's able to convert on one of those red zone opportunities, he could help propel fantasy managers to championships in leagues still playing until the final whistle.

Theo Johnson Will Not Play in Week 18 Due to Illness

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (illness) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to an illness. The 24-year-old also missed New York's Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders due to illness, so he's apparently dealing with a relatively serious ailment. The 3-13 Giants also have little reason to push Johnson before he's fully healthy, which could be a factor in his absence as well. Across 16 games played in 2025, Johnson recorded 45 receptions for 528 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets. Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger saw a significant increase in playing time in Johnson's absence in Week 17, lining up for 97% of New York's offensive snaps. However, Bellinger hauled in just two receptions for 11 yards on three targets and remains difficult for fantasy managers to trust in Week 18.

Wan'Dale Robinson Officially Ruled Out for Week 18

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a rib injury. Robinson missed practice all week, and the 3-13 Giants have little reason to push him to play in a meaningless game against Dallas. The 24-year-old enjoyed the best season of his career to this point in 2025, recording 92 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns on 140 targets across 16 games played. He went from averaging 7.5 yards per reception in 2024 to a much more respectable 11.0 in 2025. Without Robinson, Giants wideouts Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins could both see more targets in Week 18, while Dalen Cambre, Jalin Hyatt (illness), and Gunnar Olszewski are all candidates for increased playing time.

Darius Slayton a Distant Second Fiddle in Giants' Passing Game

Despite garnering a decent share of the team's targets weekly, New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton's output hasn't been enough to warrant consistent fantasy consideration. When teammate Malik Nabers (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury, the seventh-year pro automatically slotted in as New York's WR2 behind Wan'Dale Robinson (rib). However, Slayton hasn't turned his opportunity into steady fantasy production, instead taking a clear back seat to Robinson, who leads the team in each significant receiving category by a wide margin sans touchdowns. As it stands, Slayton could see a modest uptick in work when the Giants take on the Cowboys this Sunday, particularly if Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson (illness) are forced to sit with their respective ailments. If they play, though, the veteran is a fade. Slayton has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in just four of 13 games in 2025.

Wan'Dale Robinson Not Spotted at Thursday's Practice

For a second straight day this week, New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Robinson is now firmly up in the air to suit up for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. In a meaningless game, don't be surprised if both Robinson and tight end Theo Johnson (illness), who also missed last week, are held out. The 24-year-old Robinson is coming off a season-high 11 receptions on 14 targets for 113 yards in the Week 17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. It was a nice bounce-back performance after he had three catches for 19 yards the week prior. Robinson has been money for fantasy managers in PPR leagues in 2025, but they might be without him in Week 18. Check back for Robinson's status on Friday.

Theo Johnson Still Under the Weather

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (illness) will miss another practice on Thursday due to illness, according to interim head coach Mike Kafka. Johnson missed last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders due to an illness and is trending towards missing a second straight game to wrap up the 2025 season unless he can return to practice on Friday. If the 24-year-old has played his last game this year, he'll wrap up his second season in the NFL with 45 catches for 528 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets. Johnson became the team's top pass-catching tight end this year and should have his fantasy arrow pointing upward as a potential TE1 target for fantasy managers going into the 2026 campaign. If Johnson is ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, Daniel Bellinger will have more pass-catching opportunities.

Theo Johnson Misses Practice with Illness

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (illness) was one of three Giants players either sent home or absent from Wednesday's practice with an illness. Johnson missed the team's Week 17 win over the Raiders after not practicing at all with what is presumed to be the same illness. Fantasy managers still playing for a Championship in Week 18 will need to monitor New York's injury report, as Johnson and the Giants face a Cowboys defense in the season finale that has allowed 34 or more points in three of the last four games. With New York still competing under interim head coach Mike Kafka, their offense could continue to provide fantasy relevance at a time when many other teams are resting starters.

Wan'Dale Robinson Not Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ribs) was not present at Wednesday's practice after sustaining a rib injury in a Week 17 win over the Raiders in which he caught a season-high 11 passes for 113 yards. In Sunday's week-winning effort, Robinson also eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, and he now sits only eight receptions shy of 100. If he can clear the injury report to suit up against the Cowboys' worst pass defense in the league in Week 18, it seems likely the team will make every effort to get him to that milestone. Fantasy managers still playing for a Week 18 title will need to monitor the Giants' practice reports this week, but if Robinson plays on Sunday, he is a must-start.
