New York Giants
Things aren’t great around the New York Giants wide receiver room.
The Giants’ receiving corps was probably best described as “fine, but thin” at the start of the season. Then the Giants lost Malik Nabers to a torn ACL in Week 4 and Darius Slayton to a hamstring injury in Week 5. To make matters worse, neither Jalin Hyatt nor Beaux Collins looked like they could possibly cash in on their opportunities.
It’s enough to make us ask: Should the Giants take a flier on (now former) Tennessee Titans receiver Treylon Burks?
The Titans formally released Burks from their injured...

As quickly as they rose a few spots in NFL power rankings after defeating the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, the New York Giants went backwards after losing to the previously winless New Orleans Saints in Week 5.
Here is how the Giants are ranked entering Week 6.

The Giants don’t really have a fantasy standout without star receiver Malik Nabers (torn ACL) in the lineup. But with rookie Jaxson Dart at quarterback, Johnson has become more of a factor. He had three touchdowns in Dart’s first two...

The New York Giants Thursday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles marks the beginning of a brutal stretch in a brutal schedule for the Giants.
Over the next 17 days, the Giants will have games against the 4-1 Eagles, 3-2 Denver Broncos, and then another game against the 4-1 Eagles. The Giants, meanwhile, are coming off of a painful collapse against the (formerly winless) New Orleans Saints which saw New York’s play go from dominant to disastrous in the span of a quarter.
That game also saw wide receiver Darius Slayton get knocked out with a hamstring injury, adding to...

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, who suffered a hamstring injury late in Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints, is not expected to play Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
That was the likely outcome after Slayton was listed as “did not practice” on both Monday and Tuesday this week. Slayton was reportedly “limping badly around the locker room” when media had access on Tuesday.
Slayton had a rough game vs. the Saints with a critical fumble and a pair of missed opportunities for catches on potential difference-making chunk plays. Still, without Malik Nabers, the 28-year-old seven-year veteran...

The 1-4 New York Giants face a quick turnaround in Week 6 as they host the 4-1 Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium for a Thursday Night Football showdown in the NFC East. The Giants enter as 7.5-point home underdogs, with the Over/Under set at 40.5 points.
Philadelphia is coming off a tough Week 5 loss, blowing a 17-3 lead at home against Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos, who scored 18 unanswered to hand the Eagles their first defeat of the season. Prior to that, the Eagles notched victories over the Buccaneers, Rams, Chiefs, and Cowboys.
The Eagles have dominated...

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

The New York Giants are entering the toughest stretch of the NFL’s toughest schedule this week as they prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on just three days rest following their loss to the New Orleans Saints.
The Giants are depending on star nose tackle Dexter Lawrence to be the rock in the middle of their defense against the Eagles’ running game.
Recovery after the trip to New Orleans will be particularly important. It was noted during the game that Lawrence came off the field in situations in which he was normally a feature of the defense. In particular,...

Darius Slayton and Jermaine Eluemunor could be game-time decisions for the New York Giants on Thursday night when they host the Philadelphia Eagles.
Slayton, a wide receiver, left Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury. He has been listed as “did not practice” by the Giants each of the past two days. Eluemunor, who has a back injury, has also been listed as “did not practice.”
The Giants only held a walk-through on Tuesday.
“I’d say we’ll take it all the way up to the end like you usually do on short weeks,” said head coach...

The New York Giants best chance to trade one of their two veteran backup quarterbacks, Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston, may have gone up in smoke Tuesday when the Cleveland Browns traded quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals, floundering with three straight losses after star quarterback Joe Burrow underwent surgery for a toe injury expected to keep him out at least three months, acquired Flacco from Cleveland in a pick swap. The Browns are receiving a 2026 fifth-round draft pick in the trade, while the Bengals are getting a 2026 sixth-rounder in addition to Flacco.

It might seem like a long time ago now, but Jaxson Dart was viewed with more than a bit of skepticism by NFL fans and the draft community.
Dart wasn’t really talked about as a real potential first rounder until the Senior Bowl. Even as word of the Giants’ love of him started to circulate, there were some who believed that it was a smoke screen to hide their intentions to draft Shedeur Sanders in the first round.
And even then, there were many who believed that drafting any quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft would be a mistake. There...

New York Giants third-round selection Darius Alexander set career highs in snaps played and pressures on Sunday vs. the New Orleans Saints. Alexander played 27 snaps with a pair of pressures and a tackle for loss in the Giants’ 26-14 loss. Alexander, though, did have a quarterback hit that resulted in an interception, which was negated by Tae Banks’ defensive pass interference penalty — no surprise.
Nevertheless, the Giants are starting to see a return on their investment. Prescient as ever, defensive line coach Andre Patterson was confident in his declaration that Alexander will be a player in due time;...

The New York Giants were buzzing in the Big Easy. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart led two eight-play drives to start the game, which resulted in a pair of Theo Johnson touchdowns (59 and 70 yards). The offense had a good rhythm with a solid mixture of run and pass plays, while the defense applied pressure on Spencer Rattler and the Saints’ offense. New Orleans kicked a field goal on their second drive, which was primarily due to an ill-advised Tae Banks defensive pass interference penalty against Chris Olave.
The mistakes and miscues were the story of the Giants’ Week 5...
