New York Giants

The New York Giants placed rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Johnson was injured in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys last Thursday but caught all five of his targets for a season-high 54 yards before leaving. It's a tough break for Johnson, as he was just starting to see a much bigger role in the passing game in recent weeks. The 23-year-old fourth-round selection out of Penn State will finish his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions on 43 targets for 331 yards and a touchdown in 12 games played. Johnson is an interesting dynasty/keeper asset if the Giants can figure out their QB situation sooner than later. For the rest of the 2024 campaign, Daniel Bellinger should serve as New York's top pass-catching TE, although it may not result in much fantasy relevance.

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot) suffered a foot injury on Thursday afternoon and is likely done for the season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Penn State product tallied a season-high 54 yards off five receptions on Thursday afternoon. Since Week 9, the rookie has begun to see more involvement in the passing game, as he has seen at least five targets in each game. Before this stretch, Johnson averaged just 2.5 targets per game during Weeks 1 through 8. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue monitoring Johnson's status but should begin searching the waiver wire for a replacement option. In New York, Chris Manhertz and Daniel Bellinger will likely see an uptick in snaps, which could be viable options in 14+ team formats if they see consistent snaps.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson set a career-high in his rookie season with 54 receiving yards in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson caught all five of his targets, averaging 10.8 yards per reception, including a team-long 18-yard grab that tied Malik Nabers for the game's longest receiving play for New York. His steady performance marked the fifth consecutive game with 35 or more receiving yards, underscoring his growing reliability in the offense. With 7.9 fantasy points in Week 13, Johnson continues to emerge as a solid option for fantasy managers, particularly in leagues valuing consistent production at the tight end position.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was the focal point of the passing game in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team with 13 targets, eight receptions, and 69 receiving yards. His 18-yard grab was the longest of the day for the Giants, though his average of 8.6 yards per catch reflected the short-yardage nature of his opportunities. Nabers had a 29-yard fourth-quarter reception wiped out by a holding penalty, adding to a frustrating day that also included two drops. Despite these setbacks, his 11.3 fantasy points underline what you get as a floor with Nabers. Managers should remain optimistic about his consistent involvement in the Giants' offense, even amid some missed opportunities.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a quiet outing in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, offering limited fantasy production. He logged seven carries for 23 yards, averaging 3.3 yards per attempt, with a longest run of 7 yards. While Singletary failed to make an impact in the passing game and did not score, his seven carries were notable as they nearly matched team leader Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s nine carries. Despite the increased workload, his 2.3 fantasy points left much to be desired for managers. Singletary's usage remains something to monitor.
