Giants | Three teams reportedly interested in signing Darius Slayton Tue Sep 8, 12:24 AM
The Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday, making him a free agent. Slayton said in a social media post that he is "excited to see what's next." Josina Anderson of Exhibit News Network reports that three teams have already reached out to Slayton's representation for preliminary discussions.
| Footballguys view: Anderson mentioned the Colts as a potential destination, given Slayton's relationship with quarterback Daniel Jones. Slayton spent seven seasons in New York, the longest-tenured Giants player before his release. He was a fifth-round pick of the Giants in 2019, four rounds after the team drafted Jones. Slayton and Jones played together six seasons. Slayton caught 37 passes for 538 yards and one touchdown last season. |

Giants | WR Darius Slayton released Mon Sep 7, 05:08 PM
The Giants released veteran WR Darius Slayton.
| Footballguys view: The 2019 fifth-round pick moves on after 296 catches in 106 games over seven seasons in East Rutherford. As NFL insider Jordan Schultz noted, Slayton has quietly become one of the more productive wideouts the Giants have had, ranking top 15 all-time in club history in both catches and yards. Slayton was also the team's longest-tenured player. |

Giants | OG Runyan Jr. gets two-year extension Mon Sep 7, 01:08 AM
After extending quarterback Jameis Winston by two years, the Giants signed guard Jon Runyan Jr. to a two-year, $22 million extension. Runyan's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, announced the contract. Runyan is now under contract through 2028.
| Footballguys view: Runyan was a sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2020. After four years with the Packers (three as a full-time starter), he signed with the Giants. He has been a full-time starter for New York since 2024. He is expected to be the starting left guard next Sunday night, when the Giants host the Cowboys on the first Sunday night of the new year. |
Giants | Beat writer 'confident' Skattebo is team RB1 to open season, wouldn't be surprised if Harris takes over at some point Sun Sep 6, 05:30 PM
Dan Duggan of The Athletic wrote that he is confident Cam Skattebo will be the #1 back for the Giants season opener vs. Cowboys, and he is not sure if the team sees free agent pickup Najee Harris as ready for the #2 job in Week 1, but that his sense is that it "won't be long" until Harris is the #2 back. After that, Duggan writes that it "wouldn't surprise (him) if Harris becomes the lead back at some point this season".
| Footballguys view: This is reassuring if you are deciding whether to put Skattebo in your Week 1 lineup, but a bit concerning if you were planning on counting on him as a starter all season. Skattebo left Tyrone Tracy in the dust last season, but Najee Harris is a proven perennial 1,000-yard rusher that Giants run game architect Greg Roman loves from their brief time together with the Chargers last year. Harris should be rostered in most leagues, even if he is an inactive in Week 1, which Duggan thinks is possible. |

Giants | Jameis Winston signs two-year, $13 million extension Sun Sep 6, 05:01 PM
Jordan Schultz reports that the Giants and QB Jameis Winston have agreed to a two-year, $13 million extension.
| Footballguys view: While Winston might have had a chance for more value growth if he became a free agent next season, backing up Jaxson Dart is also a decent recipe to see the field as a starter at least once or twice in a season, if not more often and longer. The Giants want Dart to not put his body in danger as much as a runner, but that is easier requested than done. Winston had a rushing touchdown in one of his two starts last year, and threw for 366 yards and two scores in the other. He is one of the few backups worth rostering in superflex leagues. Obviously, Winston and the Giants coaching staff must be hitting it off. Winston's presence will also be good for Dart's development and that is one of the reasons the team pursued the extension. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart gaining confidence in new offense Sat Sep 5, 03:12 PM
Jaxson Dart flashed a lot of potential last season in Brian Daboll's scheme. This summer, Dart looked shaky at times in the Giants' revamped offense, led by Matt Nagy and approved by John Harbaugh. Still, Dart expressed optimism about his progress with learning this system. "I feel so much better," Dart said of where he's at now, compared to the spring. "I feel in command. I feel confident. In this offense, there's a lot that's put on the quarterback's plate, but it's exactly how I want it. It's exactly how I viewed this coming together.
| Footballguys view: Nagy's scheme could end up being perfect for a quarterback like Dart. They should feature the rushing attack, which opens up play-action opportunities for the passing game. Nagy should have some designed runs for Dart as well. That makes Dart an interesting QB2 you likely got late in your drafts. |

Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. a likely Week 1 inactive? Sat Sep 5, 03:03 PM
The odds of the Giants keeping four running backs active for Sunday night really don't make sense. This position might, in fact, be one where injury comes into play. Tyrone Tracy Jr. was still dealing with the stinger he suffered against the Jets in the preseason finale, so it's unknown at this time how much he'll be able to do in the coming week.
| Footballguys view: The Giants have a jam-packed backfield with Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary ahead of Tracy on the depth chart. Tracy was evaluated for a concussion in the preseason finale, but he cleared that with just a stinger instead. He has little to no fantasy value in his current role. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo considered retirement after injury Thu Sep 3, 02:37 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo said he considered retiring a month after his 2025 season-ending ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: It's a bit of an alarming statement for a player with one pro season (and not even a full one) under his belt. Skattebo suffered a serious ankle injury as a rookie, but he's rehabbed and now is ready for Week 1. The Giants added veteran RB Najee Harris, but Skattebo should be the featured back so long as he's healthy. That makes him an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Giants | Malik Nabers noncommittal, but apparently on track for Week 1 Tue Sep 1, 02:25 PM
Wide receiver Malik Nabers is feeling "real good" less than two weeks before the New York Giants' season opener against the Dallas Cowboys but remains noncommittal about playing Week 1. "I feel pretty good. I feel real good to be honest," Nabers said. "Like I said, you're going to feel good but there's still some things that you're going to have to check off the box for you to participate. So I'm still going through that, still listening to the trainer, still listening to doctors and sharing everything with them."
| Footballguys view: Nabers is coming back from a torn ACL last year and has progressed to full practices throughout the summer. He recently shed the red no-contact jersey he wore throughout camp. Everything seemingly has been trending in a positive direction. While he's not quite prepared to declare himself ready to play the Cowboys, ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan reports the expectation is that he will be playing, barring some setback. The Giants and Nabers have seemingly been gearing up for the Sunday night opener against Dallas on Sept. 13 since the first day of training camp. |

New York Giants WR Darius Slayton is not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster, according to sources.

Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. has stinger Sat Aug 29, 01:18 PM
Updating previous reports, New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (neck, shoulder) sustained a stinger during the preseason game against the New York Jets Friday, Aug. 28, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Tracy was evaluated and then cleared for a concussion. Before exiting, Tracy had 37 yards and a touchdown on four carries. Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary along with Tracy make up the Giants' backfield, so Tracy would have to see injuries strike above him on the depth chart to have a fantasy relevant role. |

New York Giants RB Najee Harris is expected to play in the team's final preseason game on Friday, Aug. 28. He has not played since tearing his Achilles in Week 3 of the 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: Harris needs to prove that he is game shape, so this isn't necessarily a sign that he is on the margins of the depth chart. On the other hand, if he looks good, Harris could force a committee with Cam Skattebo right away, given his experience and durability. |

Giants | Malachi Fields like the WR2 Fri Aug 28, 11:28 AM
New York Giants WR Malachi Fields is likely to be the team's No. 2 receiver. The team traded up to get him in the third round because they were infatuated with his size, physicality and ability to make contested catches. He has shown all of that in camp.
| Footballguys view: Fields is at least on our waiver wire watch lists, if not a deep league late round pick. He wins when the ball is in the air and could be a top red zone target for Jaxson Dart. Fields is still going to be in the shadow of Malik Nabers and maybe Isaiah Likely, so he's not a priority late round target. |
Giants | Calvin Austin on injured reserve Thu Aug 27, 04:59 PM
New York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Aug. 27.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the Giants here. Austin had been an impressive player this offseason, and many were speculating he would play a sizable role in the Giants' offense as the slot receiver. Now, the Giants could turn to Malachai Fields as an option behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Darnell Mooney. |
Giants | Bigger role for Darnell Mooney Thu Aug 27, 09:51 AM
New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney saw an 'increased workload' during practice Wednesday, Aug. 26, following the injury to WR Calvin Austin (knee), according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Mooney signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Giants this offseason ($3 million in dead money, $7 million in incentives). Drops, injuries, and inconsistent play plagued Mooney's game last year with the Falcons. He may never be the 1,000-yard receiver he used to be with the Bears (2021), but Mooney gives the Giants a veteran presence as their no.3 receiver behind Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. |

New York Giants WR Calvin Austin (knee) was reportedly carted off from Tuesday's practice after going to the ground on 1-on-1 drills running a route and immediately grabbing his knee, according to a source on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Link to story Giants | Calvin Austin III carted off with a knee injury Tue Aug 25, 03:12 PM
The Giants' receiving corps may have been dealt a serious blow on Tuesday. Calvin Austin had to be carted off the field after going down while running a 1-on-1 drill.
| Footballguys view: Reporters at the practice noted that Austin grabbed his right knee after going down and that he was consoled by teammates as well as team owner John Mara before making his way off the field. Austin signed a one-year deal with the Giants this offseason after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Steelers. The team lists him behind Malik Nabers on the depth chart. Odell Beckham Jr. is one of the wideouts behind Austin, and a severe injury could help the veteran solidify his hold on a roster spot in his second tour of duty with the Giants. |
Giants | Theo Johnson leaves early Mon Aug 24, 03:50 PM
New York Giants TE Theo Johnson (undisclosed) left practice Monday, Aug. 24, early after suffering an undisclosed injury.

According to local reports, Johnson walked off, slammed his helmet into the grass, ripped off his gloves, pulled his hood up, and headed briskly toward the locker room alone, appearing frustrated. Isaiah Likely has been the fantasy-relevant TE in New York all along, but we'll continue to watch for more on Johnson and report back as developments warrant. |
Giants | Malik Nabers making progress Mon Aug 24, 03:41 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was not wearing a no-contact jersey during practice Monday, Aug. 24. He was catching passes while running at 75 percent speed during practice.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Nabers has been taking part in team drills for a little more than one week, but he was wearing the red jersey until Monday's development. This doesn't mean he's been cleared for all activity, but he is now closing in on the final stages of his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. All signs are pointing toward Nabers being available Week 1 against the Cowboys. He's a prime pick in Round 3 at his current WR12 ADP. |

Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. on roster bubble Sun Aug 23, 11:49 AM
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. may be in danger of not making the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.
Link to story Giants | Tyrone Tracy Jr. handles nine touches Sun Aug 23, 10:37 AM
New York Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. rushed six times for 26 yards, caught three passes for 22 yards and lost a fumble during the preseason game against the Miami Dolphins Saturday, Aug. 22.
| Footballguys view: Tracy's lost fumble was in the red zone, so that makes two big no-no's in the preseason after he got his quarterback blown up by whiffing on a pass block last week. Najee Harris should be the backup as soon as he is football shape. Tracy wasn't seen as a cut candidate last week, but that could change, or he could be shopped for a late round pick swap. Either way, his dynasty value is plummeting. |
