Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers impressing his QB Sat Jun 15, 12:22 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers has impressed QB Daniel Jones during spring practices. 'I mean, he can do everything,' Jones said. 'There is not much that he can't do from a route-running standpoint. He's dynamic with the ball in his hands and strong, fast, explosive, catches the ball well.
| Footballguys view: Nabers could easily be one of the league leaders in targets as a rookie. He is going a round later than fellow elite rookie Marvin Harrison Jr, but could have just as big an opportunity to make an impact. Harrison will catch passes from Kyler Murray, while Nabers will play with Jones and Drew Lock, so that could account for most of the difference. |

Link to story Giants | Tyrone Tracy getting first-team reps Thu Jun 13, 11:34 AM
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. 'spent a good portion of 11-on-11 drills on Tuesday with the first team,' according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com on Wednesday, June 12.
| Footballguys view: Let's keep an eye on this situation. Plenty of draft analysts loved Tracy as a sleeper running back in this class. Devin Singletary is there to be the lead back, but Tracy will push him for the starting job in camp. Eric Gray might get into the mix as well. |
Giants | Daniel Bellinger dealing with injury Thu Jun 13, 12:39 AM
New York Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 12, because he suffered an undisclosed injury a few weeks ago. Head coach Brian Daboll the team are just being cautious with Bellinger.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the Giants, especially because Bellinger is expected to be the lead tight end now that Darren Waller has retired. With Bellinger banged up, guys like rookie Theo Johnson has a chance to impress. |
Giants | Darius Slayton not on field Wed Jun 12, 08:02 PM

Link to story Giants | Darius Slayton leaves early Wed Jun 12, 01:37 PM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (undisclosed) left practice early Tuesday, June 11, after colliding with a defense back.
| Footballguys view: All of the reports say the injury wasn't serious. Slayton stayed away from the team and got a contract adjustment for his trouble earlier in the offseason. He'll probably be the Giants #2 wide receiver behind #6 overall pick Malik Nabers, but Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalen Hyatt will also have significant roles in the wide receiver group. |
Giants | Giants sign Tre Herndon Wed Jun 12, 01:09 PM
Free-agent CB Tre Herndon (Jaguars) signed an undisclosed contract with the New York Giants on Wednesday, June 12.
Link to story Giants | Daniel Bellinger banged up Wed Jun 12, 11:38 AM
New York Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (undisclosed) has reduced repetitions in minicamp because he had an injury pop up a few weeks ago.
| Footballguys view: With the retirement of Darren Waller, this is consequential news for fourth round pick Theo Johnson, who could be asked to do more in his rookie year than expected if this is a long term issue for Bellinger. In any event, this is probably not going to be a spot that is conducive to a fantasy tight end breakout in 2024. |

Link to story Giants | Darren Waller retires Sun Jun 9, 03:42 PM
New York Giants TE Darren Waller informed the team of his retirement from the NFL, according to sources Sunday, June 9.
| Footballguys view: Waller has been away from the team this offseason, and many were expecting him to call it a career. A former college wide receiver, Waller entered the league coming out of Georgia Tech as a sixth-round pick for the Ravens in 2015. He was suspended the entire 2017 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy, but Waller was traded to the Oakland Raiders and became a premier weapon. He posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the Raiders (2019, 2020) and was a fantasy force. Injuries caused his production to decline over the last three seasons, and now Waller hangs up his cleats. The Giants move forward with Daniel Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson competing for the top spot on the depth chart. |
Giants | Deonte Banks stepping into starting role Sun Jun 9, 09:27 AM
New York Giants CB Deonte Banks will serve as the team's top cornerback this season, according to defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson, after the team opted not to re-sign CB Adoree' Jackson.
Link to story Giants | Devin Singletary confident Sun Jun 9, 09:12 AM
New York Giants RB Devin Singletary said he isn't worried about filling the shoes of Saquon Barkley. 'I feel like I'm a playmaker like him, so I'm just gonna be me,' Singletary said. 'It's been going well for me since I've been in the league, so that's what I'm gonna keep doing.'
| Footballguys view: Singletary is a better-than-expected player, and he always has been. In stops with Buffalo and Houston, Singletary has impressed although he's had to wait for his opportunity to do so. Now with the Giants, Singletary gets the chance to lead the backfield from the get-go if he can hold off Eric Gray and Tyrone Tracy (who we love in dynasty). He posted a career-best 898 yards rushing last year, and Singletary may push for the first 1,000-yard season of his career this season. We like him as an RB3/flex play for Fantasy GMs. |
Giants | Malik Nabers dominates OTAs Fri Jun 7, 12:32 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers had an 'excellent day' at OTAs, according to reports Thursday, June 6. Nabers had two long touchdown receptions in team drills and was 'by far the best we've seen from him in OTAs,' according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Nabers is the perfect fit for what the Giants need on offense. He's a big-play specialist who wins with speed, hands, tracking ability, and ball skills. Nabers is going to make either Drew Lock or Daniel Jones look better in 2024. He could push for high WR2 numbers this year, but at this time Nabers is getting drafted to be a WR3/flex play for Fantasy GMs. |

New York Giants WR Gunner Olszewski (ankle, foot) likely will sit out the remaining offseason workouts because of an injury to his ankle and foot area but should be ready for training camp, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
Link to story Giants | Darren Waller expected to retire Mon Jun 3, 09:10 AM
New York Giants TE Darren Waller is expected to announce his retirement before mandatory minicamp next week.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan, it would be "a pleasant surprise" if Waller decides to return for a 10th season. But the team has been operating throughout the offseason as if Waller will retire. The team selected Penn State's Theo Johnson in the fourth round of April's draft. Johnson, who has elite pass-catching traits, has taken some first-team snaps with Waller skipping voluntary workouts. The Giants also signed veteran TEs Jack Stoll and Chris Manhertz to add to their tight end room of Daniel Bellinger, Lawrence Cager, and Tyree Jackson. We'll follow up as needed. |

Link to story Giants | Additional contract details for Darius Slayton Fri May 31, 12:18 AM
Updating earlier reports, New York Giants WR Darius Slayton renegotiated his contract earlier this week, reducing his base salary (from $2.7M to $2.5M) and cap number (from $8.15M to $7.75M) while creating the opportunity to earn $2.15M in incentives.
Link to story Giants | Eric Gray getting some first-team snaps Fri May 31, 12:18 AM
New York Giants RB Eric Gray 'got a lot of run with the (first team on Thursday, May 30),' according to Pat Leonard of The New York Daily News.
| Footballguys view: Devin Singletary is in place to be the lead back for the Giants, but he's going to have to beat out Gray for that spot. Gray has some speed to his game, and we'll see how much these two are splitting first-team reps in training camp. |
Giants | Gunner Olszewski leaves early Thu May 30, 08:22 PM
New York Giants WR Gunner Olszewski (undisclosed) left the voluntary workout early Thursday, May 30, because of an undisclosed injury.
Link to story Giants | Darius Slayton adds incentives Thu May 30, 12:09 PM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton said he had incentives added to his current contract, he told reporters Thursday, May 30. Details of those incentives were not immediately released.
| Footballguys view: Slayton didn't have nearly the stature of other wide receivers trying to get considerations from the team by staying away from OTAs, but it sounds like his demands were much easier to meet than the marquee young wideouts. Slayton will take a backseat to #6 overall pick Malik Nabers, but that could get him more single coverage looks in the deep passing game, where in 2019 he shined as a rookie in his best season to date. |

Link to story Giants | Malik Nabers impressing early Sun May 26, 12:48 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers 'was open on virtually every 11-on-11 route he ran' during the first week of OTAs, according to sources Thursday, May 23.
| Footballguys view: That sounds about right. Nabers is one of the most physically gifted receivers in this draft class, and 'big play' is his middle name. Nabers has the speed to take the top off the defense, and he does a good job tracking passes downfield. No matter who is the quarterback, Drew Lock or Daniel Jones, they'd be wise to target Nabers early and often. He's a WR2 from a fantasy perspective, but make no mistake about it; WR1 potential is there (perhaps as soon as this season). |

New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson, WR Gunner Olszewski, WR Ayir Asante and RB Devin Singletary have been working as kickoff returners during OTAs.
Link to story Giants | Daniel Jones expects to start Fri May 24, 12:42 AM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones said he expects to be the starting quarterback for the Giants this upcoming season.
| Footballguys view: Okay, that's great, but when is that going to happen? Jones may be replaced by Drew Lock at least to begin the 2024 season as he continues to recover from the knee injury that shortened his 2023 season. His ACL injury was last November, so being ready for Week 1 might be a stretch. We'll see what Jones can do (and can't do) in training camp. |
Giants | Daniel Jones expects to be ready for Week 1 Thu May 23, 12:07 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) expects to be ready for Week 1, he told reporters Thursday, May 23.
| Footballguys view: Whether he will start Week 1 is yet to be seen. The team would have to pay out a hefty $23 million injury guarantee if Jones goes down with a serious injury. Drew Lock is a reasonable alternative and could beat Jones out in a camp/preseason competition. Even if Jones does start Week 1, there's a strong incentive for the team to bench him if they eventually fall out of playoff contention. |
Giants | Darren Waller remains absent Thu May 23, 11:09 AM
New York Giants TE Darren Waller remains absent from voluntary OTAs as he continues to consider retirement, according to sources Thursday, May 23.
| Footballguys view: At this point, we should make fantasy draft boards without Waller. He's not droppable in dynasty leagues yet, but you should plan on not having him and make a move if you don't like the tight end you have behind him. Daniel Bellinger will be the starter if Waller retires, but the team likes fourth round pick Theo Johnson's upside long term. |
Giants | Darius Slayton skips OTAs Thu May 23, 11:04 AM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton is skipping voluntary OTAs amid a contract dispute, according to sources Thursday, May 23.

New York Giants fourth-round draft choice TE Theo Johnson signed a four-year contract with the Giants Wednesday, May 22, worth $4.851 million, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Johnson is there as a backup behind Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger. He's a big-bodied rookie with the ability to contribute as a blocker and receiver. Johnson has to work on improving his after-the-catch skill, so right now we like him as a reserve 'Y' tight end on the Giants' roster. |

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (knee) participated in seven-on-seven drills during practice Monday, May 20.
| Footballguys view: Jones, 26, had surgery to repair his torn ACL on Nov. 22. The Giants signed former Bronco and Seahawk Drew Lock in free agency, but team officials hope to have Jones as a full participant when training camp begins in July. We'll be watching for more as that time draws nearer. |
