The New York Giants could target Tennessee Titans WR Corey Davis in free agency after the season, in the opinion of The Athletic's Dan Duggan, who writes that Davis would provide upside at a lower price than some more established wideouts.
Footballguys view: Davis has flashed big-time ability and will now get a chance to test the market. We'll see if a role as a potential no.1 wide receiver with a new team helps Davis flourish even more. |

New York Giants RB Devonta Freeman (ankle, knee) was waived from the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Jan. 7.
Footballguys view: Freeman could not stay healthy and did not impress during his time with the Giants. He's not the same player he used to be and is likely done playing in the NFL. Perhaps someone picks him up as a veteran reserve player in 2021, but it wouldn't surprise us if he's just headed for retirement. |

Footballguys view: Look for Alex Tanney trick shot videos on YouTube, trust us you will not be disappointed. However, don't keep Tanney on your roster even in the deepest of deep dynasty formats. |

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones completed 17-of-25 passes for 229 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. RB Wayne Gallman rushed 11 times for 65 yards, while WR Sterling Shepard had eight receptions for a game-high 112 yards with a touchdown, and he ran twice for 24 yards and a score. WR Dante Pettis added two receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown, while WR Darius Slayton closed the regular season with two catches and 22 yards on four targets. TE Evan Engram was also targeted four times, ending up with two catches and 17 yards. LB Blake Martinez ended up with 11 total stops, a sack, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit, and DE Leonard Williams had three sacks.
Footballguys view: Jones looked sharp and healthy in this one and the Giants offense did enough combined with a heroic performance by the defense. Now the Giants wait to see if Philadelphia can beat Washington and punch their ticket into the playoffs. The Giants would host the Buccaneers. |

Footballguys view: We'll save the optimism for later in the week. Judge admitted he will need to see Engram in practice before making a decision on his Week 17 status and that the tight end will meet with the team's doctors for a second time. |
