New York

Giants

In other words, he should be fine coming off New York’s Week 14 bye. Cancel the Devin Singletary As Rest Of Season RB1-sized FAAB bids, though Singletary has claimed enough of the backfield to merit consideration off waivers.

Robinson has seen his involvement in the offense ebb and flow as the quarterback situation has undergone multiple changes in New York this season, tasked with a more robust route tree with both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston under center while transitioning back a short area monster to serve as a security blanket for rookie Jaxson Dart. His fantasy returns have obviously been more suppressed with Dart considering that shift in role, leaving fantasy managers with a diminishing asset in all but deep PPR leagues.

Johnson was first on the scene following a hard hit by Christian Elliss down the sideline on a Dart scramble in the first quarter, sparking a gathering of bodies near the New England bench. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, that would go down as his top contribution on the field while catching only three of his eight targets, the final incompletion of which occurred on the team’s final play from scrimmage with under a minute to play. He remains an integral part of the offense but will need to find the end zone at greater frequency before he is regarded as anything more than a top end TE2 in fantasy.

Slayton got the Giants on the scoreboard with a 30-yard catch-and-run touchdown in which he simply out-ran five defenders to the paint following a simple inside curl route, marking his first touchdown of the season. He would add only one other reception for 11 yards the rest of the game as rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart fed 16 combined targets to Wan’Dale Robinson and Theo Johnson. Slayton remains a shaky weekly fantasy bet that managers won’t need to worry about starting as the team heads to their Week 14 bye.

Singletary continued to mix in with Tyrone Tracy throughout but was thrust into the featured role following a potential concussion sustained by Tracy in the fourth quarter. He appears to be the more consistent fantasy producer out of the New York backfield considering his robust red zone role and could return RB2 counting stats should Tracy miss any time with his injury.

Hits on Dart spurred no less than two on-field scuffles, the worst of which was a hit by Christian Elliss on a scramble in the first quarter down the sideline. Tight end Theo Johnson immediately came to his aid, sparking the tussle near the New England bench. Speculation that we would see fewer designed runs for Dart were proven accurate as the electric rookie attempted only four rushes against the stout Patriots defense. The Giants were unable to get anything going offensively, struggling to just 239 yards of total offense as the Patriots ran up a 30-7 lead at the half, too much to overcome after the break for a floundering team. Dart and the Giants limp to their Week 14 bye before hosting the Commanders in Week 15.

Tracy took a hit to the head as he was being spun around during a tackle in the fourth quarter. He remained down on the field before stumbling to the sideline, eventually carted to the locker room for further evaluation. It is highly likely that his night is done. Tracy managed just 36 yards on 10 carries prior to departing, losing three yards on his lone reception. He’ll have an additional week to get healthy with the team on bye in Week 14.

Thibodeaux’s inactivity does not come as a surprise after he was ruled out earlier in the week. It does, however, go down as a significant absence for the Giants as they set their sights on an upset win over the Patriots on Monday Night Football. The fact the team did not place the veteran pass rusher on injured reserve likely means he is nearing a return, which appears likely to come when they come back from their Week 14 bye.

Dart has taken a number of hard hits this year and landed himself in concussion protocol after going down in Week 10 against the Bears. The rookie signal-caller has totaled 57 carries this season, with 36 of those attempts coming on designed runs. Dart’s rushing upside has been an integral part of his fantasy value, as the rookie has finished in the top-12 in four of his last five starts while finding the end zone six times over that span. Any cutback in designed runs could put a dent in his weekly fantasy ceiling, but the Giants would be wise to find ways to cut back Dart’s rush attempts until he can better protect himself.

Darius Slayton was also removed from the injury report. He will continue to play through his hamstring injury. Robinson was limited for the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session over the weekend. He shouldn’t be bothered by the ankle issue on Monday. Per usual, Robinson will be a volume-based WR3. Slayton is a desperation WR6 versus the Pats.
