Giants coach Brian Daboll tells reporters that QB Daniel Jones (neck) is out for Sunday.

Regardless of what you thought about the Giants' offense heading into this season, it would have been hard to predict that it would be this bad. Tyrod Taylor should be in line to start against the Bills, and should be left on fantasy benches.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) is expected to be activated from IR ahead of tonight's game vs. Chiefs, per James Palmer.

The Broncos' tight end usage has been sad since Dulcich went down with his hamstring injury, missing action since Week 1. Outside of his 2-22 opening day performance, Denver TEs have combined for 12 receptions and a measly 79 yards. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach for now, but Dulcich could find himself in consideration when he is further removed from his injury.

It appears to be heading in the wrong direction for Daniel Jones to play this week. This is not a situation where he is going to miss a long time.

Darren Waller has a groin injury and is not practicing today, either. Daboll says he’s day-to-day

Related Players: Daniel Bellinger

Daniel Bellinger actually strung together some decent fantasy performances in 2022 before an eye injury knocked him out of action for a handful of weeks. Even if Waller misses Week 6, Bellinger will not be a recommended fantasy play, though.

Daniel Jones will not practice today, per Brian Daboll. Calls the Giants QB day-to-day. But adds Jones is more sore today

Tyrod is a perfectly capable backup, but this offense looks destined for failure regardless of the QB, as they currently rank 31st in points scored and 32nd in yardage gained. The team also happens to rank in the bottom-six of the league in those defensive categories as well.

Daniel Jones left Sunday's Week 5 game with a neck injury.

Rapoport said Jones' status for Week 6 is "iffy" or "up in the air." Rapoport said Jones compared his neck injury to one he suffered last season, which was considered a "stinger" that eventually calmed down after a couple of weeks. However, this time Jones' neck injury is considered less serious. Jones is scheduled for a MRI Monday.

Geno Smith looked to be a bit limited upon returning and was moving gingerly on the knee. But he insists it's nothing major.

"I'm fine. I'm fine. God is good," he said.

Smith missed two drives late in the second half, one was a touchdown which was led by Lock. Smith returned in the second half. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 5 so Smith will have some extra time to rest up for Week 6.

Giants Saquon Barkley is doubtful for Monday Night Football with his ankle injury.

Rapoport did say Barkley is steadily getting better and thinks he has a more realistic chance to get on the field for Week 5, which is an early game against the Dolphins.

Head coach Brian Daboll called Saquon Barkley a quick healer last week and said on Tuesday that the team is going to continue monitoring his condition as they head toward their Monday night date with the Seahawks.

“He’s really now I’d say in the day-to-day category. He feels a lot better today, but we’ll kinda take that all the way throughout the week and see how he improves,” Daboll said, via SNY.

Barkley said last Thursday that he suffered a high-ankle sprain in the team’s Week 2 win over the Cardinals and that injury often causes players to miss multiple games, but the Giants aren’t making any plans to play without him at this point, the story added. We may not know a whole lot more heading into Week 4's Monday night matchup, so owners are going to need a backup plan when it comes to a decision on having Barkley in your lineup or not. The good news is if Barkley is out, Breida has a much better matchup this week when it comes to plugging him into lineups if it comes down to a game-time decision.
