Jalin Hyatt DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt "mentally checked out at points last season after clashing with the coaching staff and upper management," according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Hughes opined that Hyatt should have played more than he did last season, and that the young receiver seems to be stuck in the doghouse. Moving forward, Hyatt's speed and athleticism make him an intriguing pass-catching option in an offense led by veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. However, if he can't find himself in the coaching staff's good graces, he may have trouble seeing the field or even making the roster. As it stands, Hyatt projects as the team's No. 4 receiver, but he could face competition from depth players or a potential free agent addition, such as Gabe Davis.

New York Giants wide receivers Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson are set as the team's top three wideouts going into the 2025 season, and The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll writes that Jalin Hyatt appears to be the favorite for the No. 4 role despite coming off a disappointing 2024 season in which he had only eight catches for 62 yards. The third-rounder in 2023 will face competition from plenty of undrafted free-agent pass-catcher that were brought in, and the G-Men have also been considering adding former Bills and Jaguars receiver Gabe Davis. If the Giants don't add Davis, the WR4 job will be Hyatt's to lose in training camp this summer. His straight-line speed matches up well with quarterback Russell Wilson's deep-ball prowess, so the 23-year-old should take a step forward if he stays healthy.

The New York Giants did not add any notable free-agent wide receivers this offseason, and the team did not pick a wideout in the 2025 NFL Draft. Following those developments, Dan Duggan of The Athletic believes Jalin Hyatt will safely make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp this summer. Hyatt, a former Fred Biletnikoff Award winner and third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, has collected just 31 receptions for 435 yards in 33 career games. Last season, he caught eight passes for 62 yards. While it would be surprising to see him on the fantasy football radar, the editions of quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart all but ensure the G-Men will have better quarterback play in 2025. Hyatt likely will not start in three-wide sets, but he could make an impact as a rotational field-stretcher. Either way, he can be ignored for fantasy purposes.
