Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. It’s a nice matchup -- but Golladay was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. WRs coach Tyke Tolbert suggested that Golladay’s snaps might be reduced today. Consider him a risk/reward WR3.
Giants WRs coach Tyke Tolbert suggested that WR Kenny Golladay's snaps might be reduced against the Falcons today. Golladay is dealing with a hip injury and his "conditioning level is not where it should be," Tolbert said. "One of the things I can help him with personally is probably to lessen his snaps a little bit," Tolbert added. We're still expecting Golladay to be out there for most of the Giants' passing plays today -- but this certainly adds downside to his fantasy profile.
The Giants are “optimistic” WR Kenny Golladay and TE Evan Engram will play Sunday against the Falcons, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Both players are questionable, so we’ll confirm their statuses Sunday morning. Each will still carry risk in your fantasy football lineup, but the matchup also presents significant upside. Check out latest Week 3 rankings before finalizing your lineups.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. It’s a concern, especially with the Giants coming off a long week after playing on Thursday last week. We’ll get Golladay’s game status by noon ET on Sunday, but the hip issue obviously adds risk to his Week 3 fantasy profile.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hip) has been limited in the first 2 practices of the week. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) isn't listed on the final Week 1 injury report and will play against the Broncos on Sunday. He was limited in practice this week and admitted last week that he was still trying to get back in football shape after being sidelined for about a month. We'd try not to use Golladay in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He hasn't done a whole lot since going down back on August 3. Even if Golladay suits up vs. the Broncos this weekend, he'll be a shaky fantasy play.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay "did not sound confident at all" when discussing his recovery from his hamstring injury and status for Week 1, according to insider Ralph Vacchiano. Golladay, who just returned to practice after going down on August 4, admitted that he's still trying “to get my legs up under me.” He added that hamstrings are “tricky” and “you’ve got to be smart and patient with them." We'll continue to keep an eye on Golladay, but he ideally won't be in your Week 1 fantasy plans.
Lions WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) participated in individual drills in Wednesday's practice. As far as we know, it was his most extensive work since going down on August 3. Golladay seems to be trending toward playing Week 1 -- but don't be surprised if he gets off to a slow start after missing so much practice time.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a hamstring pull, per beat writer Pat Leonard. That puts him back at practice well before New York’s opener against Denver. Still, it’s worth noting that Golladay missed 5 games with a hamstring injury in 2017; 2 last fall. He’s shaping up as a WR3, albeit not one we’re particularly excited about.
Giants insider Dan Duggan hears that the hamstring injury WR Kenny Golladay suffered in Tuesday's practice is "not considered a significant injury." Golladay is still scheduled for more testing on Wednesday. It's relatively good news -- but hamstrings can be tricky. We'll keep a close eye on Golladay's status.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay appeared to suffer a hamstring injury at Tuesday’s practice. He grabbed the back of his left leg after a play in 7 on 7s. The 27-year-old walked inside to get checked out by a trainer, and we’ll pass along any updates when they become available.
Giants WR Kenny Golladay is off to a slow start in training camp, according to The New York Daily News' Pat Leonard. "He’s tall, but he has struggled to gain separation from top corner James Bradberry in man-to-man coverage," Leonard writes. "He hasn’t used his size and hands to rip the ball down on contested catches. He has used his chest a bit too often when he has hauled the ball in, even in individual drills. And he and Daniel Jones haven’t clicked yet, even though they’re putting in a lot of extra work." We're just 3 days into Golladay's 1st camp with a new team, so it's far too early to start adjusting 2021 projections. But his progress over the next month is worth monitoring.
Sterling Shepard is expected to be the Giants' primary slot receiver this season, according to The New York Post's Ryan Dunleavy. “I love the slot,” Shepard said from training camp on Tuesday. “It’s where I’m super comfortable. I just like the space that you have. I’m able to go all the way across the field, come back out, do the short-intermediate routes, which I enjoy running.” Shepard played 82% of his snaps in the slot as a rookie back in 2016. That rate has steadily declined over the past 4 seasons, bottoming out at 34% last year. Shepard's most efficient seasons in terms of yards per target came in 2017 and 2018, when he played 74% and then 55% of his snaps in the slot. Consider more slot snaps good news for Shepard's 2021 outlook. But we'll have to see if he stays on the field and kicks outside when the Giants go to 2-WR sets. This news also means New York's 3-WR sets figure to feature Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton on the outside. Rookie Kadarius Toney is expected to play mostly in the slot, so it looks like he's is line to open the season no better than 4th on the depth chart.
