Derek Hagan to start at WR for Giants

Nov 22, 2010

The Giants are now without both of their starting wide receivers with the Hakeem Nicks injury. Fourth-year pro Steve Smith is still dealing with a partially torn pectoral muscle.

Backup WR Mario Manningham will continue to start until Smith is able to return to the lineup. WR Derek Hagan, who signed with the team last Tuesday, will likely start opposite Manningham. Undrafted rookie Duke Calhoun will temporarily handle the No. 3 role.

The team has worked out nine receivers this season. Veteran WR Kevin Curtis worked out for the team last week.

Fantasy Impact:

Hagan already has a TD pass to his credit, catching one last week against the Eagles. Hagan could put up decent enough WR3 numbers if you're scrambling for WR help this week.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
