Gunner Olszewski Gunner Olszewski Limited with back issue Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 3:43 PM Olszewski (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Olszewski has played a total of 20 special-teams snaps through the Giants' first two games, returning six punts for 62 yards and one kickoff for a gain of 29 yards.
Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Limited in practice Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 3:10 PM Slayton (groin/calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Slayton has played all but one of the Giants' offensive snaps through two weeks this season, though in that span he's brought in just two catches for 61 yards on five targets, with all of his production having come during Week 2's overtime loss to the Cowboys. While Slayton being limited Wednesday doesn't yet seem an indication that his status is genuinely in jeopardy for Sunday night's matchup against the Chiefs, he appears definitively positioned behind both Wan'Dale Robinson and superstar Malik Nabers in New York's wide receiver pecking order.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Tending to foot issue Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 2:44 PM Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a foot injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Robinson dealt with an ankle issue last week and now is tending to a new health concern as the Giants prep for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs. During a Week 2 back-and-forth overtime loss at Dallas, Robinson handled a 70 percent snap share and reeled off eight catches (on 10 targets) for 142 yards and one touchdown, all of which were surpassed by No. 1 WR Malik Nabers' 9-167-2 line on 13 targets.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Dealing with chest issue Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 2:38 PM Tracy was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: After handling a 74 percent snap share during a Week 1 loss at Washington, Tracy fell all the way back to 42 percent in Sunday's loss in Dallas, while rookie Cam Skattebo jumped from 12 percent in the season opener to 52 percent Week 2. The result: Tracy recorded nine touches for 51 yards from scrimmage, and Skattebo had 13 touches for 59 total yards Sunday. Tracy's dip in usage may have been attributed to a health concern, and now his status will be one to monitor ahead of a Week 3 matchup with the Chiefs.
Daniel Bellinger Daniel Bellinger Gets zero targets Week 2 Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 2:43 PM Bellinger did not receive any passing targets Sunday in an overtime defeat against Dallas. Analysis: Bellinger now has just one target over the first two weeks of the season. He actually played more snaps on special teams (20) than on offense (19) against the Cowboys, while starting tight end Theo Johnson logged a healthy 84 percent offensive snap share and gathered four receptions on five targets for 34 yards. Johnson has solidified his role as the Giants' top TE early in the campaign, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Bellinger to have much value barring an injury that propels him up the pecking order.
Theo Johnson Theo Johnson Picks up production Week 2 Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 2:38 PM Johnson caught four of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: After catching just one pass for five yards against Washington in Week 1, Johnson was much more productive Sunday. He actually looked to be in line for a bigger final line after a quick start, as he caught two passes for 20 yards on the team's opening drive. Regardless, this was a nice step in the right direction for Johnson, who was on the field for 56 of the team's 67 offensive snaps while backup TE Daniel Bellinger recorded more snaps on special teams (20) than on offense (19), as did No. 3 TE Chris Manhertz (14 and 17, respectively). Johnson will get a tough matchup Week 3 against a Chiefs team that has surrendered just five receptions to tight ends through two weeks.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Doesn't see field again Week 2 Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 2:31 PM Hyatt did not log any snaps Sunday in an overtime loss to Dallas. Analysis: Hyatt was the only one of New York's active players who did not play at all in the defeat. It was the second straight week that Hyatt went unused, so it's clear early on that the Giants don't see him as a big part of their offense. Darius Slayton and Malik Nabers logged all but one of New York's offensive snaps in the loss, and Wan'Dale Robinson was on the field for 70 percent of the plays, while both Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski participated only on special teams. With that in mind, Hyatt hasn't necessarily slipped below fourth in the pecking order, but the team simply hasn't cared to extend its WR personnel beyond its top three options.
Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Hauls in 52-yard reception Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 2:24 PM Slayton caught two of three targets for 61 yards in a Week 2 overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. Analysis: Slayton was shut out in the first half but salvaged a decent final line with 61 receiving yards after halftime. Most of that production came on a 52-yard connection with Russell Wilson midway through the third quarter. Despite that big play, it doesn't bode well for his place in New York's WR pecking order that Slayton saw just three targets despite playing all but one of the team's offensive snaps, especially since Russell Wilson aired it out 41 times and gained 450 yards on 30 completions. It was already a given that Malik Nabers would hog the wideout targets for the Giants this season, but it's telling that Wan'Dale Robinson garnered 10 looks of his own and nabbed eight receptions for a career-high 142 yards Sunday. With just five targets (and two catches) through two weeks, Slayton doesn't appear to have established much chemistry with Wilson thus far.
Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Nets zero yards in minor role Mon, Sep 15, 2025, 2:15 PM Singletary rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for minus-4 yards in Sunday's Week 2 overtime loss to Dallas. Analysis: In a significant development for Singletary's role on offense, rookie Cam Skattebo led New York with 11 carries and 45 rushing yards while starter Tyrone Tracy netted 51 yards on nine touches (five rushes and four receptions). Skattebo's effectiveness Sunday will likely earn him more work going forward, while Tracy isn't likely to be phased out of the offense, especially given his skill set as a receiver. That presumably leaves Singletary to fend for scraps, diminishing what was already minimal fantasy viability. Through two weeks, the veteran RB has logged just 14 offensive snaps, tallying five touches (four carries and one catch) totaling a meager nine yards.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Career-best numbers in Dallas Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:53 PM Robinson caught eight of 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: During a wild seesaw affair in which Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards, Robinson set a new career high that shattered his previous best of 100 yards, which he recorded in Week 11 of his rookie season in 2022. The possession receiver has had a strong start to the current campaign, posting a 14-197-1 line on 18 targets, and if the Giants fall behind early he could be busy again in Week 3 against Kansas City.
Cam Skattebo Cam Skattebo Scores first career TD in OT loss Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:45 PM Skattebo carried the ball 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: The 2025 fourth-round pick made a big statement in his second NFL game, producing a TD nearly single-handedly in the fourth quarter with a 24-yard run to the one-yard line before punching home his first career score. Skattebo provides a punishing, physical presence in the Giants' backfield that Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary lack, and while Tracy should continue to be the team's primary option on passing downs, the rookie made a strong case Sunday to be New York's first choice on running downs. Skattebo will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against Kansas City.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Takes back seat to rookie Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:38 PM Tracy carried the ball five times for 15 yards and caught four of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 40-27 overtime loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: The second-year back tied for third on the Giants in targets with tight end Theo Johnson, but Tracy saw 2025 fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo emerge as a serious threat to his early-down workload with 45 rushing yards and a TD on 11 totes. Given that the 0-2 Giants could be playing from behind a lot this season, primarily being used on passing downs should still lead to a significant role for Tracy, but Skattebo's performance still doesn't bode well for his backfield mate's fantasy value. The split in touches between the two should become a little clearer in Week 3 against Kansas City.
Russell Wilson Russell Wilson Tops 400 yards in tough OT loss Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:29 PM Wilson completed 30 of 41 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys. He added 23 yards on three carries. Analysis: The 36-year-old quarterback nearly set a new career high in passing yards at 454, but his final completion of the day went for minus-four yards to Devin Singletary. Wilson's lone turnover then came on his next pass attempt, leading to Brandon Aubrey's game-winning field goal in OT. Most of his volume went to Malik Nabers (9-167-2 on 13 targets) and Wan'Dale Robinson (8-142-1 on 10 targets), as Wilson quickly erased memories of his rough Week 1 debut with the Giants, although the final result was the same. 2025 first-round pick Jaxson Dart was under center for a few snaps but didn't attempt a pass, and the veteran's massive numbers likely bought him a little more job security, although a transition to the rookie stills seems inevitable at some point this season. Wilson will face what should be a much tougher test in Week 3 against Kansas City.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Massive numbers in OT loss Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 5:21 PM Nabers caught nine of 13 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys. Analysis: Russell Wilson turned back the clock with a performance reminiscent of his best days in Seattle, and Nabers was his main target, catching a 29-yard TD in the second quarter and a 48-yard score with just 25 seconds left in the fourth that appeared to have won the game for the Giants before Brandon Aubrey booted a ridiculous 64-yard field goal as time expired to send it to OT. Nabers has seen 25 targets through two games from Wilson, turning that volume into a 14-238-2 line, but he may not face a secondary as weak as Dallas' current unit for the rest of the season. The sixth overall pick in the 2024 Draft will look to prove he's matchup-proof in Week 3 against Kansas City.
Jameis Winston Jameis Winston Again serving as emergency QB Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 10:59 AM Winston (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys but is serving as the Giants emergency quarterback. Analysis: First-round rookie Jaxson Dart will again work as the backup to starter Russell Wilson, with Winston continuing to suit up as the emergency No. 3 quarterback. Wilson struggled in his Giants debut last week, and Dart could get an opportunity if those struggles continue Sunday. Winston, however, can only take the field in Dallas if both Wilson and Dart are injured.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Good to go Week 2 Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 10:49 AM Robinson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Analysis: The 24-year-old received the questionable tag after picking up an ankle injury in the season opener, but he'll be available for Sunday's divisional matchup in Dallas. Robinson played 76 percent of the offensive snaps Week 1 and showed a decent rapport with quarterback Russell Wilson, catching six of eight targets for 55 yards.
Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Cleared for Week 2 Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 1:37 PM Slayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Analysis: A mid-week addition to the injury report, Slayton apparently didn't have any issues during Friday's practice. He handled a team-high 97 percent route share in last week's loss to Washington but somehow managed just one incomplete target on his 38 routes. Slayton should see more looks this Sunday but won't necessarily be featured even if Wan'Dale Robinson (questionable, ankle) doesn't end up playing.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Listed as questionable Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 1:34 PM Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Analysis: Fellow Giants wideouts Malik Nabers (back) and Darius Slayton (groin) don't have injury designations, leaving Robinson and LT Andrew Thomas (doubtful, foot) as the question marks for Big Blue's offense ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff in Dallas. It looked like a good matchup for Robinson otherwise, with Cowboys slot corner DaRon Bland (foot) expected to miss multiple weeks.
Xavier Gipson Xavier Gipson Stays in Big Apple with Big Blue Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 3:23 PM Gipson was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Analysis: Gipson won't have to move after being claimed by the Jets' MetLife Stadium roommates the day after being waived by New York's AFC team. His costly fumble on a kickoff return in Week 1 proved to be the end of the line for Gipson with the Jets, but he has shown some explosiveness in the return game when he holds onto the ball, so the Giants could utilize the 5-foot-9 wide receiver on special teams.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Practices in limited fashion Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 2:51 PM Robinson (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: After playing 52 of the Giants' 68 snaps on offense and finishing with six catches for 55 yards on eight targets in this past Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Commanders, Robinson seemingly emerged from the contest with the ankle injury. The Giants held Robinson out of their first Week 2 practice Wednesday, but his ability to take some reps Thursday is a good sign for his chances of being available Sunday in Dallas. The Giants will wait and see if Robinson can upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice before deciding whether he'll take a designation into the weekend.
