C.J.

Board

Headed into his age-29 campaign, Board is a special teamer with 17 career catches, just four of which came last season. He won’t be a lock to keep his 53-man roster spot under the new front office and coaching staff.

He’ll miss the rest of the season with a broken arm. Board totaled four catches for 51 yards after he was forced into the lineup amid New York’s injuries, also averaging 24.8 yards on 11 kick-off returns. The Giants signed Dante Pettis to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Board appeared to be in a lot of pain before the cart came for him. Trainers put an air cast on him before he left the game. With Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay, and Kadrius Toney already out, Dante Pettis is seemingly the next man up.

Slayton and Sterling Shepard were both knocked out of Week 3 with hamstring injuries, and they’ll both miss Week 4. Collin Johnson is likely to split time with C.J. Board in Slayton’s deep threat outside role. While Kadarius Tony sees time in the slot, filling in for Shepard. The Giants offense have trouble getting much going downfield with two of Daniel Jones’ top targets out this week.

Ross didn’t play in the preseason and barely played at all in training camp. It’s, unfortunately, news that has been pretty synonymous with the speedster’s career. Even in a new situation in New York, he just can’t stay healthy. Ross had started just 20 games in four years in Cincinnati before joining the Giants on a one-year deal. New York re-signed wideout C.J. Board in a corresponding move.

Drawing four starts last year in a four-week stretch where Sterling Shepard was on IR, Board drew just six targets. Turning 28 in December, those were six of Board’s 20 career targets since coming into the league as a 2017 UDFA. Board was unlikely to have a fantasy impact in New York and probably won’t have one anywhere else either. Collin Johnson replaces him on the Giants fantasy radar. The Giants also waived wideout Dante Pettis and defensive lineman Trent Harris.

Board, a restricted free agent, got some run as the team’s No. 3 wideout late in the season, hauling in 11 catches for 101 yards. Board, 27, missed a month of action after he was carted off and hospitalized with a head injury in October.

Board suffered a frightening injury during the Giants’ Week 6 game against Washington. Medical staffers put Board on a stretcher and carted him off the field after tense minutes with teammates looking on with concern. Board, diagnosed with a concussion, should be in the league’s concussion protocol this week.

He appeared to suffer a head or neck injury while attempting to secure a pass from Daniel Jones. Board has started every game since Week 3. He’s played a rotational role with Sterling Shepard nursing a toe injury while on injured reserve. He peaked at three catches for 32 yards in Week 2.

CB Tae Hayes was let go in the corresponding roster move. Board’s promotion would seem to foreshadow D.J. Chark’s absence Sunday in Oakland. With Chark’s season in doubt following last week’s foot injury, look for Dede Westbrook, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole to finish out the year in three-wide sets.
