New York Giants WR Kenny Golladay (leg) suffered an apparent left leg injury during practice Tuesday, Aug. 3. He immediately went to the sideline and then with trainers inside the team's facility for further evaluation, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: We'll have to wait and see what's going on with Golladay before commenting further. The Giants no.1 receiver is there to help QB Daniel Jones in a make-or-break year for the young passer. We'll see what's going on with his leg when more information is revealed. |

Free-agent RB Alfred Morris (Giants) signed an undisclosed contract with the New York Giants on Monday, Aug. 2.
| Footballguys view: Morris is back with the Giants to give them veteran depth in the backfield. The Giants say there's a chance Saquon Barkley will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. If he's not, then they could turn to Devontae Booker and Morris to run the rock. |

New York Giants OT Matt Peart (back) passed his physical Saturday, July 31.
| Footballguys view: Peart is a potential starting right tackle for the Giants, so his condition is important to an offense that will rely on one of the suspect lines in the NFL. |
Giants | Joe Looney agrees to deal with NYG Sat Jul 31, 06:19 PM
Free-agent OL Joe Looney (Cowboys) agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal Saturday, July 31, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Looney is a very savvy signing for the Giants. He can be a quality backup at all three interior offensive line spots and also be a solid starter if needed, which is important in the wake of the near-miss of a serious injury for guard Shane Lemieux. |

Giants | Shane Lemieux avoids serious injury Sat Jul 31, 02:11 PM
Updating a previous report, New York Giants OG Shane Lemieux (knee) avoided serious injury after being carted off the field Thursday, July 29. He will miss a 'couple weeks,' but the injury will not require surgery, a source said.
| Footballguys view: This is a break for the Giants as Lemieux is slated to be a starting guard on a line that lost Kevin Zeitler this offseason. The Giants line is one of the critical points of failure in an offense that has to improve from a dismal 2020. |

Giants | Daniel Jones struggles on Day 3 of camp Fri Jul 30, 02:15 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones' performance on Day 3 of training camp was 'brutal,' according to NJ.com's Zack Rosenblatt. Jones struggled to show any chemistry with this top receivers, especially WR Kenny Golladay. While Rosenblatt acknowledged it is too early in camp to be negative, he wrote, 'There wasn't really anything positive to take away from Jones' performance.'
| Footballguys view: It's Day 3 of camp, not the third preseason game of the year. Jones is in a make-or-break year, and it would be nice to hear better things coming out of Giants camp. It sounds like he's struggling mightily but has a chance to turn things around (as much as he can) before the start of the regular season. |

New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, July 22.
| Footballguys view: This was expected and just reminds us that Barkley is coming back from more than a simple ACL tear, as he suffered meniscus and MCL damage too. He might not be full speed for Week 1, but he still shouldn't fall out of the first round of fantasy drafts. |

New York Giants WR Kadarius Toney was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, July 22.

Giants | Mike Weber, Jordyn Peters signed Wed Jul 21, 07:41 PM
Free-agent RB Mike Weber (Packers) and S Jordyn Peters (Jets) signed with the New York Giants Wednesday, July 21. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Weber could push for a roster spot as the third running back behind Saquon Barkley and Devontae Booker with Corey Clement and sixth round pick Gary Brightwell also in the mix. Weber was a seventh round pick of the Cowboys in 2019 and has a downhill running style with nimble footwork. |

Giants | Coach happy with Daniel Jones' progress Wed Jul 14, 06:48 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones had shown solid growth with his play and leadership over the last year, according to head coach Joe Judge.
| Footballguys view: Jones was under pressure early and often last year. Instead of taking the next step in his second season (2020) after flashing as a rookie (2019), Jones was under duress too much to do much of anything. This year, hopefully with better protection, Jones is in a make-or-break year. They improved the weapons around him and WR Kenny Golladay should help a lot. Having a healthy RB Saquon Barkley should help tremendously as well. |

Giants | Daniel Jones felt the heat last season Mon Jul 12, 10:24 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones was pressured on 30.3 percent of his drop-backs in 2020 - the highest percentage for any quarterback with at least 350 pass attempts - per Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: Jones didn't have much time to do anything last year with the Giants. He's in a make-or-break year this season and hopefully has better protection than he did in 2020. The return of a healthy RB Saquon Barkley and the addition of star WR Kenny Golladay should help. |

Giants | John Ross banged up? Fri Jul 9, 10:40 PM
New York Giants WR John Ross (undisclosed) had 'clearly been dealing with something' during June minicamp, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com.
| Footballguys view: Ross has a ton of speed, but the former top-10 pick has mostly disappointed as a pro due to injury and inconsistency. Now, getting a fresh start with the Giants, Ross needs to stay healthy if he wants to impress and make the 53-man roster. If he does make the team, Ross is pretty much a non-factor for Fantasy GMs. |

Giants | Rookie WR Toney To Be Brought Along Slowly Fri Jul 9, 02:41 PM
Dan Duggan, from The Athletic, reports New York Giants rookie WR Kadarius Toney will be brought along slowly in 2021.
| Footballguys view: Toney is fast...like, super fast, and the team will be wise to use that speed in a number of ways. Earlier reports indicated the team is planning on using the rookie first-round pick all over the formation. That's good from a football standpoint, but from a fantasy perspective it could run hot and cold (mostly cold). Kenny Golladay is the primary WR and main fantasy target if you're looking at Giants receivers. We'll see how Toney works along slowly into the mix behind/with guys like Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton. |
Giants | Saquon Barkley not talking timetable Thu Jul 8, 04:26 PM
New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) said he is taking his recovery on a day-by-day basis and does not have a timetable for his return.
| Footballguys view: Barkley is working his way back from yet another knee injury, but Fantasy GMs don't seem to be hesitant to draft him. We all know he's a superstar when healthy and one of the best backs in the game, and this is a make-or-break season for Barkley. He's got a current ADP of RB5 (1.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Giants | Evan Engram lacked efficiency Sat Jul 3, 10:55 PM
New York Giants TE Evan Engram's 5.9 yards per target in 2020 was fourth worst in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Engram has incredible talent, and that's why he was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft, He's never played up to his potential in the pros due to injuries and inefficiency. Engram has been a low-end TE2 (TE19, TE18) over the last two seasons. We'll see if better play from QB Daniel Jones gets Engram back on track after a rookie season where he finished as the no.5 tight end in non-PPR leagues. |
Evan Engram player page
Giants | Sterling Shepard popular with QB Sat Jul 3, 10:25 PM
New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard has averaged 8.1 targets per game from QB Daniel Jones over the past two seasons.
| Footballguys view: Shepard is not a no.1 wide receiver, even though the Giants have miscast him as such in years past. With the addition of Kenny Golladay, we'll see Shepard work against softer coverage as their no.2 receiver. The talent and upside is there with Shepard but he needs to stay healthy in order to play up to his potential. He's a deep flex WR5/WR6 for Fantasy GMs, just like he has been over the last couple of seasons. |

Giants | Daniel Jones working out with teammates Sat Jul 3, 05:05 PM
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones has worked out with RB Saquon Barkley, WR Kenny Golladay, WR Sterling Shepard, WR Darius Slayton and WR David Sills leading up to training camp.
| Footballguys view: Jones is in a make-or-break season in 2021. He's got the talent around him to play much better and more efficiently this season. The Giants added more weapons on offense and having a healthy Barkley will greatly improve the chances that Jones improves his play. He was sacked often in 2020 and that's why his decision-making skill seemed to take a step back from his rookie season. We'll see if better protection, better weapons and a stronger rushing attack propel Jones to a bounce-back season. |

Giants | Kyle Rudolph expects to be ready Thu Jul 1, 01:08 PM
New York Giants Kyle Rudolph (foot) says he's feels fortunate that an examination by his new team revealed a previous undiagnosed foot injury that led to surgery in March, giving him ample time to recover for the 2021 season. 'As far as football goes, I was extremely fortunate that the Giants organization and everyone involved (caught it), and how they were able to handle my situation, that I won't miss any football,' Rudolph said. 'At this point it's about taking each day and taking that opportunity to not only get myself healthy but get myself better. It's one thing to get and be healthy, it's another to be ready to go and play in an NFL game. So I'm taking that day by day.'
| Footballguys view: After a decade with the Vikings, Rudolph comes over the Giants this year. Rudolph is a sound veteran with good blocking skill, strong hands and a nose for the end zone. He'll serve as a primary backup to Evan Engram, and Rudolph could get some starts here and there if (when?) Engram gets banged up. |

Giants | Red flags for Kadarius Toney? Thu Jun 24, 10:29 PM
New York Giants WR Kadarius Toney had issues with a cleat at rookie minicamp, skipped OTAs because his contract wasn't signed and had to leave minicamp due to a family emergency.
| Footballguys view: Let's watch training camp closely. Toney had some off-field risk and he hasn't done anything to make that go away so far in his time with the Giants. If he isn't practicing every day this summer, we should lower expectations for his involvement in the offseason, at least at the outset of the season. Sterling Shepard is probably underrated in PPR leagues right now. |
Giants | Ryquell Armstead waived Thu Jun 24, 09:28 PM
The New York Giants waived RB Ryquell Armstead Thursday, June 24.
| Footballguys view: Armstead had a rough time with covid last year and lost his shot to play a role in a wide open Jaguars backfield. He might have trouble catching on elsewhere until an injury strikes a backfield in training camp. |

Giants | RB Barkley Back Running Drills Wed Jun 23, 01:34 PM
Fox Sports recently tweeted a video of New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley running through drills and catching passes with the caption "Nice to see Saquon officially back running drills after having his ACL surgery."
| Footballguys view: We've seen videos of Barkley running earlier this offseason but those were of him running in sand. This video is of him running on the practice field. He's getting closer to a return to full strength and should be in line for the start of the regular season. If healthy, we could see Barkley besting the numbers he posted in 2019 (217 carries, 1,003 yards, six rushing touchdowns, 52 catches, 438 yards, two receiving touchdowns) when he finished the season as the no.10 fantasy running back. Fantasy GMs know what he can do, and Barkley has a current ADP of RB5 (1.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Giants | Nate Ebner to NYG likely imminent Wed Jun 23, 09:59 AM
Updating previous reports, free-agent FS Nate Ebner (Giants) withdrew from competing for a spot on the USA Rugby team Tuesday, June 22, which means he's likely to re-sign with the New York Giants soon.

Link to story Giants | Corey Clement sees time with starters Mon Jun 14, 04:06 PM
New York Giants RB Corey Clement received some snaps with the first-team offense during offseason workouts since RB Saquon Barkley (knee) is sitting out.
| Footballguys view: Clement is around no.4 on the depth chart behind Barkley, Devontae Booker and Ryquell Armstead. He has a chance to make the final roster because he can help on offense and can play on special teams. |

Giants | Evan Engram dominating at practice Fri Jun 11, 09:41 PM
New York Giants TE Evan Engram has been 'catching everything thrown in his direction' and has been the 'best offensive player on the field' during OTAs, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Engram is the type of player who can dominate at the position. He just has trouble staying healthy, and that's what can hold him back (again) in 2021. Engram should be a safety-valve target for QB Daniel Jones and can be a TE1 for Fantasy GMs...if he stays healthy. His current ADP is TE10 (8.11) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
