New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a reliable fantasy option since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 14.59 fantasy points per game, ranking 20th among RBs in that span. In Week 13 against the Cowboys, he logged 32 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground while adding 33 receiving yards on two catches, showcasing his versatility. This week, Tracy faces a New Orleans Saints defense that ranks 19th in points allowed per game (23.4) but is stout against the run, allowing just 15 rushing touchdowns all season. Despite the matchup, Tracy's 69.4% snap share last week and consistent 5.0 yards per carry on the year make him a solid RB2 with receiving upside in Week 14.
New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock heads into Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints following a mixed performance in his Week 13 start against the Dallas Cowboys. Lock threw for 178 yards on 21 completions with no passing touchdowns, but his 57 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown salvaged a respectable 15.82 fantasy points. Facing a Saints defense ranked 29th against the pass (249.1 yards per game allowed), Lock has a favorable opportunity to rebound as a passer. However, the Saints' unit is still stingy against fantasy QBs, allowing just 15.06 FPPG (10th-best). While Lock's rushing upside boosts his floor, New York's shaky offensive line, which allowed six sacks last week, could limit his ceiling as a fantasy streaming option.
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) is currently considered questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Nabers was limited in practice on Thursday after suffering a hip flexor injury. As a result, Nabers sat out of Friday's practice session. It sounds like the team is taking it day-by-day, so fantasy managers might have to wait until closer on Sunday for more information on his status. The absence of Nabers would make Darius Slayton a much more appealing streaming option. Both Wan'Dale Robinson and Slayton would have flex appeal if Nabers is forced to sit out.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll told assembled media that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip flexor) will not practice on Friday ahead of the Giants' game against New Orleans. The rookie from LSU missing Friday's practice is not a positive development, so it will be worth checking to see how the Giants designate him on the official injury report. At 2-10, the Giants' year is already lost, though Nabers has been by far their best player and a reliable fantasy option. Against a similarly bad Saints defense, Nabers is a high-end WR2, but he'll have to be healthy enough to play first.
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (foot) underwent a season-ending surgery to address the foot injury he suffered on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys. According to Art Stapleton, the issue was a fifth metatarsal fracture and not a Lisfranc injury. This means the rookie finishes his first season with 29 receptions for 331 yards and a touchdown on 43 targets through 12 appearances. There hasn't been a confirmed timetable for his return yet. That means Daniel Bellinger will be the starter to finish out the season.
