Team news: New York Giants | Page 12

Per the article, if he never plays another down for the team — which is certainly possible, since he's nursing a hamstring injury while he sits at the bottom of the depth chart — they will have paid him approximately $1.03 million for every catch he made.

You know things are rough when people are writing entire exposes about how much of a disappointing signing you've been. Kenny Golladay can be safely dropped in all redraft formats, while dynasty managers are probably just stuck holding the bag until he lands on another team. Hopefully, that can ignite a spark in a player that hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2019.

During the second quarter against the Jaguars in Week 7, Daniel Bellinger caught a pass for a 13-yard gain before he was inadvertently poked in the eye by cornerback Devin Lloyd. Blood spilled on his white jersey as he was carted off the field.

Bellinger underwent surgery to repair fractures to his lower eye socket and damage to his septum and to insert a plate. The Giants hope he can return this season, and Bellinger is confident he will do just that.

Bellinger’s left eye remains a bit bloodshot and is not open fully. He said he is experiencing some double-vision, but it is improving on a daily basis, the story said. It added, Bellinger started running the past few days and will try to start lifting weights to see how his eye responds. He has not caught any passes since the injury. Bellinger has 16 receptions for 152 yards and leads the Giants with two touchdown catches.

The team returned from their bye week on Tuesday and Kenny Golladay was on the practice field. It’s the first time that Golladay has practiced since the Friday before their Week Four win over the Bears and Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Golladay should play against the Texans this weekend.

How much Golladay plays is a different question. We have him buried way down the team's depth chart.

The New York Giants will discuss contract extensions for Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley during their bye week.

"We'll have those meetings this week," general manager Joe Schoen confirmed Tuesday.

Both players have come a long way this year given their struggles and injury history. Jones, 25, was a first-round pick (sixth overall) in 2019 and has completed 63.1 percent of his passes this season for 1,399 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions in eight starts. Barkley, 25, was a first-rounder (second overall) in 2018 and currently is second in the NFL with 779 rushing yards. He has five rushing touchdowns and 28 catches for 189 yards in eight games, the story said.

And another! Colts are trading Nyheim Hines to the Buffalo Bills, sources tell ESPN.

The Bills are adding one of the top pass catching backs to their offense. Hines signed a three-year deal last season so the Bills will have him under control for two more years. It's potentially bad news for Cook owners hoping to see an increase in touches after the Bills bye week. Singletary averaged 10 carries a game and three receptions a game, but Hines will surely cut into that production. Hines was averaging about 3.5 catches a game for the Colts. In Indy, Jackson should move up to the RB2 slot behind Taylor.

The Giants are trading WR Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs for a third-round compensatory pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick.

This trade affects a number of players, but to what extent remains to be seen. Toney had clearly had a falling out with the new coaching regime, and trade rumors began to swirl almost immediately. The 2021 first-round pick has been sidelined for almost the entirety of this season, though the team continued to site health issues as the major reason he'd only appeared in one and a half games. Rookie Skyy Moore has received only 11 targets through six games and has yet to run 15 routes in any single game, so they may plug Toney into the role they were hoping to mold Moore into.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger suffered a fracture around the eye socket and septum and may require surgery. Coach Brian Daboll said Sunday that the rookie’s eye didn’t look good.

Sounds like a brutal, very uncomfortable injury for Bellinger, and the hopes are that he won't have to go under the knife. In terms of fantasy fallout, it's unlikely that another prominent pass-catcher will emerge from the tight end room, as Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson have combined for 11 targets on the season, though the latter has run 102 routes through seven games. It's probably best to ignore the situation for now and hope for a speedy recovery from Bellinger.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger was carted off the field in Jacksonville with an apparent eye injury.

Cameras showed Bellinger as he was carted off and his eye looked very swollen. The Giants have been getting quite banged up already today as OT Evan Neal also left the game with a knee injury. The Giants are in a tight battle with the Jaguars.

Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) are both not practicing again today. Saquon Barkley (shoulder) is limited again.

Whether physical or behind-the-scenes issues are truly to blame here, this is beginning to feel like a lost season for Toney unless the team is able to fire up a trade in the next couple of weeks. The former first-round pick has exactly two receptions in 2022, coming off the heels of trade rumors throughout the offseason. Hopefully this will continue to leave the door open for Wan'Dale Robinson to become a true fantasy option.
