DNP: LB Cam Brown (hamstring), TE Evan Engram (calf), G Shane Lemieux (knee)

Leonard added in his tweet that Barkley is playing despite the limited tag. Booker will likely continue to get some work as the team tries to get Barkley up to full speed. It's a tough matchup against the Washington Football Team in Week 2 so maybe owners will need to temper expectations for Barkley. He's a risky play on a short week.

Asked if there’s a chance Giants TE Evan Engram will play this week, Joe Judge says, “Hope so… he’s making a lot of jumps in terms of how he’s working.”

It's a bit of a positive jump from a day ago when on Monday Engram was listed as Did Not Practice on the Giants injury report. Of course, it was just an estimated practice report as the team didn't actually practice. Today will be a big day in terms of Engram's chances of suiting up in Week 2, a Thursday night game against Washington.

Today's Giants injury report is a projection, since there is no actual practice:

Did not participate: TE Evan Engram (calf), G Shane Lemieux (knee), LB Cam Brown (hamstring)

Limited: RB Saquon Barkley (knee)

The Giants will take on Washington Thursday night. Barkley led the way in the backfield with a lackluster 10 carries for 26 yards. He added one catch for one yard as well. Barkley was a fantasy risky play knowing that he wouldn't be in for a full workload despite being cleared to play. A tough matchup on a short week will have fantasy owners wondering what to do in Week 2 as well as we await for rankings. Meanwhile it's not good news for Engram owners. Rudolph had just two catches for 8 yards.

Engram was trending towards out all week, making this less of a surprise. Kyle Rudolph is expected to start in his Giants debut.

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram missed Thursday's practice session.

Engram appears to be in danger of missing Week 1's contest against the Denver Broncos. The Giants play again on Thursday night, so the coaching staff will likely look to exercise caution with their starting tight end. Kyle Rudolph will log most of the snaps in place of Engram and make for an intriguing low-cost DFS flier. Season-long managers will want to look for a streaming option.

Giants TE Evan Engram missed another day of practice Wednesday because of a calf injury, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ Advance Media.

Evan Engram and injuries are BFF's. To quote the Talking Heads, "Same as it ever was." Free agent addition Kyle Rudolph would get a rankings boost if Engram is out Week 1.
