Jalin Hyatt Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. New York will again trot out WRs Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Jalin Hyatt behind WR Wan’Dale Robinson, who remains the only viable fantasy play in this WR corps.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) is out for Thursday night's game vs the Eagles. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 7, but Slayton won't be a recommended fantasy starter in that game vs. the Broncos or in Week 8 in a rematch against Philly. WR Jalin Hyatt will likely soak up most of Slayton's snaps tomorrow, with WR Beaux Collins also playing more. Neither guy is a viable fantasy play.

Giants WR Darius Slayton suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He's officially questionable to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. Slayton caught 3 of 6 targets for 31 yards before exiting. His snaps figure to be soaked up by some combination of Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins.

Further testing has confirmed the fear that Giants WR Malik Nabers tore his right ACL in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He'll need surgery and miss the rest of the season. The timing should at least help his chances of being ready for the start of the 2026 season. We'll obviously watch for further details on that front and track his return progress.

Update: Nabers also suffered a partially torn lateral meniscus in his right knee, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. But that's not expected to prolong Nabers' rehab.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He figures to be replaced by WR Jalin Hyatt, who’s only a flier in DFS tournaments. Hyatt has drawn a target on just 8% of his routes this season. (Slayton is at 15% for comparison.)

Giants WR Malik Nabers (concussion) is out for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks, HC Brian Daboll said Friday morning. Nabers has made slower-than-usual progress through the protocol, although he's still a good bet to be cleared in time for Week 6's game vs. the Bengals. Nabers leaves behind a whopping 36% of the Giants' targets. WR Wan'Dale Robinson, who's already averaging 9.5 targets per game on a 26% share, could add a bit more volume on Sunday. Ditto for WRs Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt, who figures to pick up most of Nabers' departed snaps. But Robinson is the only Giants WR we'd feel comfortable using in Week 5 fantasy lineups.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (thumb) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We're tentatively expecting Slayton to play. If he doesn't, Jalin Hyatt would step in as New York's No. 3 WR. This situation should only be impacting your DFS showdown lineups.

Giants WR Darius Slayton is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Browns with a thumb injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Slayton's absence should mean more snaps for WR Jalin Hyatt.

Giants WR Darius Slayton has cleared concussion protocol and will play vs. the Commanders this weekend. He ran well ahead of WR Jalin Hyatt in the opener, registering a 79% route rate. You shouldn’t need to use Slayton in season-long lineups, but he could be a cheap DFS tournament flier in Sunday’s plus matchup.

The Giants added WR Malik Nabers to the practice report as limited Thursday with a knee injury. That indicates he hurt the joint in practice. We'll watch for more details on the issue and the rookie's Week 2 outlook.

Giants WR Darius Slayton is in concussion protocol, HC Brian Daboll said Monday. Slayton finished second among Giants WRs in snaps and routes in the opener, catching three of four targets for 26 yards. His absence would leave Jalin Hyatt as the primary outside WR opposite Malik Nabers. But this is a situation to avoid after QB Daniel Jones' poor Week 1.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan notes that Giants WR Jalin Hyatt "has been getting more reps with the starters than [Darius] Slayton in camp." That's notable after Slayton remained ahead of Hyatt on the depth chart throughout last season.

Giants HC Brian Daboll has been calling plays on offense so far this offseason, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. OC Mike Kafka handled those duties over the past two years. The team hasn't officially announced the change, but it looks like it'll be Daboll at the controls this season.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has been ruled out of Sunday's finale vs. the Eagles with a hamstring injury. He caught one of two targets for five yards before exiting and finishes his rookie campaign with 368 scoreless yards. Hyatt was considered a project coming out of Tennessee, so his development will be worth watching closely this offseason. He's a dynasty hold.

Giants QB Tyrod Taylor will start this weekend's game vs. the Rams, HC Brian Daboll said. Taylor played reasonably well in relief of QB Tommy DeVito in Philadelphia on Monday, throwing for 133 yards, one TD, and one INT in the second half. He completed 64% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt with two TDs and 0 INTs in starts against the Bills and Commanders earlier this season. Taylor is just a low-end QB2 for Week 17, but he should bring more stability to the offense than DeVito.

The Giants’ offense didn’t have to do much to eke out a 10-7 win over the Patriots in Week 12. There isn’t a ton to dig into from this game, but rookie WR Jalin Hyatt deserves recognition. He hauled in 5 of his team-high 6 targets for 109 receiving yards on Sunday. The rookie saw a decent chunk of that yardage come on an early 41-yard bomb, but it’s worth highlighting a few things about his performance. Hyatt recorded his highest route participation rate (75.7%) since Week 6 and saw a target on 19.2% of his routes. In the three games he’s seen a greater than 66% route participation, Hyatt is averaging 68.3 receiving yards and 10.2 PPR points per game. It’s not a lot of information to go off of, but he’s shown a propensity for netting big yards when he’s involved more than two-thirds of the time. Headed into their bye week, Hyatt is a name for dynasty managers or those in deeper season-long formats to pay some attention to as an under-the-radar acquisition target.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He leads Giants WRs in pass routes and targets this season. Slayton’s absence figures to mean more playing time for WRs Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins outside the numbers, but neither is a recommended Week 12 fantasy play.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has cleared the concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. The rookie has just two catches over the last three weeks and isn’t a viable fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito under center.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt sustained a concussion in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. That'll likely knock the rookie out for Week 11's game vs. the Commanders. Hyatt, of course, was not a realistic fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan reported that Giants WR Jalin Hyatt saw the "most first-team work since being drafted" by the team on Friday. The Giants selected the 2022 Biletnikoff Award winner out of Tennessee with the 73rd pick of the 2023 NFL Draft in hopes of bolstering a less-than-stellar WR room. This news comes on the heels of Hyatt leaving practice early on Wednesday due to what the team called "heat-related reasons." Considering only one wideout (Darius Slayton) exceeded 600 yards receiving last season, the Giants will need all the help they can get. HC Brian Daboll spoke about Hyatt, saying that it's "up to him to go out there and show what he can do," and that each player will have to "will earn their role" in the offense. Sure, it's just coach speak, but seeing Hyatt out there earning reps with the first-team offense this early on is a great sign. We'll keep an eye on his progress as training camp unfolds.
