New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (thumb) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles and is officially questionable to return. He was replaced by rookie Tommy Devito, who returns under center after totaling 1,087 passing yards, nine total touchdowns, and three interceptions from Weeks 8 through 16. At this point, it's too early to tell whether Taylor will be able to return, but it's worth noting that the injury was to the thumb on his throwing hand. Therefore, if he does re-enter the contest, he'll likely have to play through pain.
Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary capped off a solid regular season in the team's 23-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18. Singletary continued working as the Texans' top running back on Saturday, which included carrying the ball 24 times for 63 yards and one touchdown. No other Houston running back touched the ball on offense in the game. The veteran was also key in the Texans' victory after he scored the game-winning touchdown on a three-yard score late in the contest. The touchdown helped send Houston back to the playoffs for the first time since 2019.
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has secured five catches in four weeks, following his first 100-yard performance in Week 12. His snap counts have remained mostly the same, if not better, as he logged a career-high 77 percent of the plays against Los Angeles. He only has himself (and inconsistent quarterback play) to blame for the lack of targets. The Eagles' secondary allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers. However, two weeks ago, Hyatt wasn't able to earn a target against this same secondary. With consistently low target numbers, the rookie can't be played in any leagues, even in a matchup where he could torch cornerbacks with his speed.
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has posted back-to-back performances of at least 90 yards and one touchdown. The veteran looks to take advantage of another favorable matchup. Two weeks ago against this same Philadelphia secondary, Slayton hit the 90-yard mark on three catches. In both of the last two contests, he's snagged a catch of at least 69 yards on his scoring play. Outside of those plays, production for Slayton has been minimal. He's the most trustworthy receiving option on the Giants, as he leads the team in receiving yards, but he could easily bust without another long catch.
Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary will look to continue his strong season in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. Singletary has taken over the Texans' backfield and has posted at least 65 rush yards in three of the past four games. Last week, the 26-year-old ran 16 times for 80 yards while also catching three passes for six yards. Now, he'll go up against a Colts' run defense that has struggled to contain fantasy running backs this season. Indianapolis has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to that position group in 2023, making Singletary a nice option in Week 18.
