New York Giants DST

Player Outlook
The Giants scored just the 22nd-most Fantasy points per game in a disappointing first season under new DC Shane Bowen and a lack of turnovers was a major culprit for that. Through the first eight weeks of 2024, the Giants led the NFL in sacks. They have since added the best pass-rushing prospect in the draft in Abdul Carter. They also added Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland to the secondary -- both players have a history of creating turnovers. The Giants DST has sneaky upside if their pass rush reaches its potential and leads to more turnovers and sacks, but you are better off streaming them in the early part of 2025 until they can prove themselves.

  • Tre Hawkins: Waived with injury designation

    Rotowire
    Hawkins (undisclosed) was waived with an injury designation by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports. Hawkins missed all three of the Giants' preseason contests, which could be due to the undisclosed injury he's dealing with. If the cornerback clears waivers, he will revert to injured reserve with New York for the 2025 season.

  • Jeremiah Ledbetter: Cut by New York

    Rotowire
    Ledbetter was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports. Ledbetter signed with New York in March after three seasons in Jacksonville, recording nine total tackles (four solo) over three preseason contests with the Giants. He will now look for his next opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2025 campaign.

  • Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Set to miss four weeks

    Rotowire
    Dimukeje (pectoral) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official website reports. Dimukeje has been sidelined since May while recovering from a torn pectoral muscle, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four weeks of the 2025 campaign. Considering that he's expected to operate as a depth piece on New York's defense, his absence will likely carry its greatest impact on special teams.

  • Giants' T.J. Moore: Placed on IR

    Rotowire
    The Giants placed Moore (upper leg) on injured reserve Sunday. Moore injured his right leg in the fourth quarter of Thursday's preseason game against the Patriots, and the injury was severe enough for him to undergo surgery Saturday. The 24-year-old underwent a successful procedure, and there's optimism that he'll make a full recovery, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. By being placed on IR, Moore will be required to miss the entire 2025 season while recovering from his procedure, though an injury settlement with the Giants would allow him to sign with a team once he's fully healthy.

  • K'Von Wallace: Let go by G-Men

    Rotowire
    The Giants released Wallace on Sunday. Wallace signed with the Giants at the beginning of training camp. He played in two of the Giants' preseason games and finished with six tackles (three solo), but he will not be on the team's 53-man roster heading into the regular season. Wallace will explore his next options and look to catch on with a team searching for veteran depth in the secondary.

  • Giants' T.J. Moore: Undergoing surgery

    Rotowire
    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Moore (leg) will undergo surgery Friday or Saturday. Moore currently remains in the hospital due to a leg injury he suffered during Thursday's preseason win over the Patriots, and for which he had to be carted off the field. The cornerback appears set for a prolonged absence, and Daboll did not comment on any tentative recovery timetable Friday.

  • Giants' T.J. Moore: Carted off field Thursday

    Rotowire
    Moore (leg) was carted off the field during Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Moore went down with what appeared to be a substantial leg injury in the second half, ultimately requiring a cart to get off the field. The cornerback's teammates all came out to the middle of the field to see him off, and it is likely that Moore is set for a prolonged absence.

  • Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Plays in preseason win

    Rotowire
    Flott (undisclosed) recorded a pass deflection during the Giants' preseason win over the Jets on Saturday. Flott had missed some time in practice with an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again. He is competing with Deonte Banks to serve as one of the team's starting outside cornerbacks opposite Paulson Adebo.

  • Giants' Brian Burns: Gets 15 snaps in preseason win

    Rotowire
    Burns tallied two tackles (one solo) in Saturday's preseason victory against the Jets. After logging just five defensive snaps in the Giants' first exhibition contest, Burns saw the field more with 15 snaps Saturday. The veteran defender will again be a key component of New York's pass rush in 2025, though it will be interesting to see how the team balances playing time and adjusts sets in order to feature all three of its talented edge rushers -- Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and prized rookie Abdul Carter.

  • Giants' Dru Phillips: Participates in practice

    Rotowire
    Phillips (undisclosed) participated in practice Wednesday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports. Phillips started at cornerback in the Giants' first preseason game, but unfortunately exited in the first drive of the contest after attempting to tackle tight end Dalton Kincaid. The 23-year-old opened eyes last season as a rookie, where he started six of the 14 games he played, finishing with 71 tackles, one interception and two forced fumbles. Now healthy, the second-year player is slated to start at slot cornerback this season.

  • Giants' D.J. Davidson: Past hamstring issue

    Rotowire
    Davidson (hamstring) recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bills. Davidson recently missed time with the hamstring issue but looked good against Buffalo. Selected in the fifth round of the 2022 Draft, Davidson appeared in 12 regular-season contests last season, recording 23 tackles (12 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries.

  • Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux: Limited work in preseason opener

    Rotowire
    Thibodeaux logged six defensive snaps in Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo and didn't notch any defensive stats. As with most NFL teams, the Giants gave their key players limited run in the first game of the preseason, so Thibodeaux's modest playing time isn't any indication of an injury or reduction in role. However, the fourth-year edge rusher may see the field a bit less during the coming campaign after New York selected Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in April's NFL Draft. At the same time, the presence of Carter along with returning vet Brian Burns could help create more exploitable matchups for Thibodeaux, so an increase in the 5.5 sacks he recorded last year is certainly feasible.

  • Giants' Dru Phillips: Dinged-up in preseason opener

    Rotowire
    Phillips (undisclosed) picked up an injury in Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo and played only three defensive snaps, logging one tackle, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports. Phillips started the game and brought down Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid after a 10-yard reception on the first drive of the contest. That was the final play Phillips was in for, as Nic Jones replaced him on Buffalo's next offensive series. Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't indicate the nature or severity of Phillips' injury when discussing the issue, so at this point it's hard to ascertain if he's in danger of sitting out the team's next preseason matchup, which is against the Jets next Saturday. If healthy, Phillips is slated to be the Giants' starting slot cornerback this season.

  • Ty Summers: Getting released

    Rotowire
    The Giants released Summers (undisclosed) from their injured reserve list with an injury settlement Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log. Summers was in line to spend the entire 2025 campaign on IR with an unspecified injury, but he'll now become a free agent. Once he's fully healthy, he'll look for another opportunity with a different team.

  • Giants' K.J. Cloyd: Signs with Giants

    Rotowire
    Cloyd signed with the Giants on Monday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports After a successful tryout, Cloyd returns to the Giants for the second time after spending training camp with them last year. While he was cut before the 2024 regular season, he found a place on Denver's practice squad. Yet to play in a regular season game, the 24-year-old will look to find his way on New York's 53-man for a second go around.

Summers appeared in 16 regular-season games for the G-Men last season, logging 29 tackles (13 solo) as a reserve linebacker and special-teams asset. He'll spend 2025 on injured reserve unless Summers is cut with an injury settlement at a later time.

  • Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Doesn't practice Saturday

    Rotowire
    Flott did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. The type and severity of Flott's injury isn't clear, but it has kept him out of practice for the past two days. Reps with the first-team defense are important for Flott, who is competing against Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo for the starting outside corner job. Flott will look to get back on the practice field and be available for the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills on Saturday, Aug. 9.

  • Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Competing for starting role

    Rotowire
    Flott and Deonte Banks are in a training camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Flott (10 starts) and Banks (14 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) and Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Flott and Banks have been alternating turns in the rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

  • Giants' Victor Dimukeje: Placed on PUP list

    Rotowire
    The Giants moved Dimukeje (pectoral) to the active/PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Dimukeje was originally placed on the NFI list due to a pec tear that he suffered during offseason workouts in early May. He'll be eligible to practice and play in the preseason once fully healthy, though a timeline has not been established for his return. Dimukeje signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Cardinals. He finished the 2024 regular season with 15 tackles (nine solo) and one forced fumble in 11 games while splitting his snaps between defense and special teams.
