Gunner Olszewski Gunner Olszewski Limited run on offense in Week 16 Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 1:32 PM Olszewski played just one snap on offense and returned one punt for five yards and three kickoffs for 71 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Making his return to action following a one-game absence due to a concussion, Olszewski wasn't much of a factor on offense but reclaimed his usual duties as the Giants' top punt and kickoff returner. Unless the Giants lose multiple receivers to injury over the final two weeks of the season, Olszewski is likely to continue seeing most of his playing time on special teams.
Isaiah Hodgins Isaiah Hodgins No targets vs. Minnesota Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 12:51 PM Hodgins played 15 of the Giants' 48 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Despite playing the third-most snaps amongst Giants wideouts during Sunday's loss, the 27-year-old wasn't targeted. Hodgins' role on the Giants' offense appears to have diminished over the past three games, as he's caught two of three targets for just eight yards during that span. He's expected to carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.
Daniel Bellinger Daniel Bellinger Comes up empty in Week 16 Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 12:47 PM Bellinger played 22 of the Giants' 48 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: The fourth-year tight end has now gone without a reception in four of the Giants' last five games. In 14 appearances this season, Bellinger has caught 15 of 21 targets for 237 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain a depth option behind Theo Johnson at tight end in the Giants' Week 17 matchup with the Raiders.
Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Held to one catch in Week 16 loss Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 10:15 AM Slayton caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Minnesota. Analysis: On a day when New York logged 30 rushing plays and went to the air just 13 times, Slayton's eight receiving yards represented nearly a quarter of QB Jaxson Dart's paltry total of 33 passing yards. Slayton also tied for the second-most targets on the team (two), and only No. 1 wideout Wan'Dale Robinson finished with more receiving yards (19). Given the extreme run-heavy approach Sunday, not much should be taken away from any Giants pass-catcher's performance, but it's worth observing that Slayton has logged two or fewer receptions in three of his past four contests. A matchup against the Raiders' uninspiring secondary awaits in Week 17, though it should be interesting to see how both teams approach that game as the "loser" of the contest will have the clear inside track to the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft.
Theo Johnson Theo Johnson Blanked on two Week 16 targets Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 5:15 PM Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Accounts for 19 of Dart's 33 yards Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 5:12 PM Robinson caught three of six targets for 19 yards and added a three-yard rush in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Robinson caught Jaxson Dart's only first-half completion for a two-yard gain as the Giants went with a run-heavy game plan. Dart ultimately threw for only 33 yards. Robinson is the top option in the Giants' depleted passing offense, and he had at least eight targets in six consecutive games prior to Sunday's downturn in volume. He'll have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 17 against the Raiders.
Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Gets 11 carries to Tracy's 16 Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM Singletary rushed 11 times for 47 yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Singletary played second fiddle to Tyrone Tracy, who turned 16 carries and two targets into 78 scrimmage yards. Despite Tracy working in the lead role, Singletary has notched double-digit touches in six of the past seven games in the Giants' run-heavy offense. Both running backs could find success in Week 17 against the vulnerable Raiders defense.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Tops 70 rushing yards in Week 16 Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 4:06 PM Tracy rushed 16 times for 71 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. Analysis: Tracy reached the 70-yard threshold on the ground for the fourth time in six games. He had 16 carries to Devin Singletary's 11 while Jaxson Dart completed only seven passes and had just two carries in a quiet game for the rookie quarterback. Tracy's poised to maintain the lead-back role in the Giants' run-heavy offense in a Week 17 road game against the Raiders.
Jaxson Dart Jaxson Dart Just 33 passing yards in loss Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 4:05 PM Dart completed seven of 13 passes for 33 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed twice for seven yards. Analysis: Dart's first completion of the game came with just 1:47 left in the first half. He was 0-for-3 with an interception prior to that point. He continued to struggle as a passer the rest of the way as the Giants fell to 2-13 with the low-scoring loss. The Giants' penultimate game of the regular season will be a Week 17 trip to Las Vegas, which holds significant implications in the race for the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dart provided some exciting moments earlier in the season, especially with his legs, but he has topped 200 passing yards only twice in his last four starts and may be looking to run less after having been asked to take a more cautious approach down the stretch.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Shrinks back to inactive status Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 11:18 AM Hyatt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 contest versus Minnesota, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Hyatt was also a healthy scratch Week 13 against New England. The third-year wideout did get to participate last Sunday versus Washington, but he saw only four offensive snaps and didn't catch his lone target. Gunner Olszewski missed that game due to a concussion but is back for Week 16, which likely is the reason for Hyatt reverting to inactive.
Russell Wilson Russell Wilson Will be emergency QB again Week 16 Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 11:09 AM Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as New York's emergency third quarterback in Sunday's matchup against Minnesota, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: This will be the third straight game in which Wilson is the Giants' emergency quarterback. New York appears set on having Jaxson Dart behind center on game days with Jameis Winston as his backup. Wilson will be eligible to play Sunday only if both Dart and Winston have to exit due to injury, illness or ejection.
Gunner Olszewski Gunner Olszewski Ready for Week 16 Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 2:15 PM Olszewski (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: The 29-year-old practiced in full throughout the week and has now cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, allowing him to return for Sunday's matchup. Now fully healthy, Olszewski is expected to operate as the Giants' top kick and punt returner in Week 16.
Beaux Collins Beaux Collins Out for Sunday Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 1:59 PM Collins (neck/concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: The Notre Dame product was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't return for Sunday's matchup. Collins was designated to return from the injured reserve list Dec. 10, giving him one more week of practice to be added to the Giants' active roster before reverting to IR.
Gunner Olszewski Gunner Olszewski Logs full practice Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 5:20 PM Olszewski (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Olszewski logged back-to-back full practices to start the week, an encouraging sign after missing Week 15 due to a concussion suffered in Week 13. The 29-year-old still needs to clear the league's concussion protocol to have any chance to play against Minnesota in Week 16.
Beaux Collins Beaux Collins Misses practice again Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 12:20 PM Collins (neck/concussion) will not practice Thursday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Analysis: Collins initially participated in practice upon being designated for return from injured reserve Dec. 10, but he suffered a setback Friday and has trended in the wrong direction since. At this stage, it appears unlikely that Collins will gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Vikings, and his overall odds of retaking the field this season are uncertain.
Beaux Collins Beaux Collins No practice Wednesday Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 6:48 PM Collins (neck/concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Collins was designated to return to practice Dec. 10, but he has trended negatively since. He suffered a setback Friday that prevented him from playing in Week 15, and it was also enough to keep him sidelined Wednesday. Collins will seemingly have to make a significant step in his recovery to be ready for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Gunner Olszewski Gunner Olszewski Returns to full practice Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 6:42 PM Olszewski (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Olszewski suffered a concussion in New York's Week 13 loss and missed the team's loss to the Commanders on Sunday, even after a bye week. His return to a full practice is positive, though it's unclear if he's cleared the league's concussion protocol. That will be the necessary final step for him to return for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Chris Manhertz Chris Manhertz No looks in Week 15 Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 9:31 AM Manhertz went without a target while playing four of the Giants' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders. Analysis: Manhertz has suited up for all 14 of the Giants' games this season but has seen more playing time on special teams than offense in recent weeks. Even on the occasion the reserve tight end takes the field with the offense, he's almost exclusively deployed as a blocker. Manhertz has drawn just one target all season, which came back in Week 3.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Barely plays in Week 15 Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 9:29 AM Hyatt failed to haul in his lone target while playing four of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders. Analysis: A healthy inactive for the Giants' previous two contests, Hyatt suited up Sunday while New York was without Gunner Olszewski (concussion). Olszewski's absence didn't free up many opportunities on offense for Hyatt, whose six percent snap share placed him fourth among Giants receivers.
Eric Gray Eric Gray No snaps in Week 15 Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 9:27 AM Gray was active but didn't play a snap on offense or special teams in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders. Analysis: Since being activated from the reserve/PUP list in Week 12, Gray has suited up for each of the Giants' ensuing three games, but Sunday marked the first time that he had failed to receive any playing time. Gray hadn't seen any work out of the backfield but appeared on special teams in both of the previous two contests, bringing back two kickoffs for 41 yards.
