Giants WR Kenny Golladay (MCL) not expected to travel with team

CBS Sports

Oct 05, 2022 · 10:25 AM EDT

Kenny Golladay's tenure with the New York Giants is taking another disappointing turn. The wideout suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's win over the Bears in Week 4 and is not expected to travel with the team to London where they are scheduled to take on the Packers at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, according to the NFL Network.

Related players: Kadarius Tony, Wan'Dale Robinson, David Sills, Richie James, Darius Slayton

Fantasy Impact:

The Giants desperately need the return of Toney and Robinson to the lineup and both are getting closer according to reports last week, but there is still no official word about their Week 5 status in London. That leaves James, Sills and Slayton as the team's top-three WRs as of now.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard tears ACL, out for year

Giants coach Brian Daboll tells reporters that WR Sterling Shepard has a torn ACL. His season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

With Toney and Robinson hurt, and Golladay seemingly in the doghouse, it only leaves James and Sills as the team's top targets. If the G-men don't look elsewhere, the Giants may have to put more trust in Toney and Golladay going forward. Robinson should return from a knee injury soon and he actually started in Week 1 before getting hurt. It's a situation to watch as one of these WRs will likely have to step up into a bigger fantasy role.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (knee) expected to miss rest of season

ESPN

Sep 27, 2022 · 9:34 AM EDT

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard suffered what is believed to be a serious left knee injury, multiple sources told ESPN, after Shepard had initial tests following Monday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The noncontact injury happened in the final minutes of New York's 23-16 loss to Dallas. A final diagnosis will come Tuesday morning, when Shepard undergoes more tests, but the fear is that his season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

With Robinson still out and Toney, Slayton and Golladay on the outside looking in, James and Sills look to be the team's top-two targets right now. Robinson is expected to return soon and could very well slide into a key role. He started for the G-men in Week 1. Unless the Giants look somewhere outside the team, it appears they may be forced to increase the roles of Toney, Slayton and/or Golladay.

Giants WR Kenny Golladay expresses frustration over lack of playing time

USA Today

Sep 21, 2022 · 3:06 PM EDT

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay took just two snaps against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 and he’s not happy about it.

Following Wednesday’s practice, Golladay met with reporters and expressed his frustration. He also wouldn’t rule out a trade request somewhere down the line should his role not increase.

Fantasy Impact:

As we reported yesterday, the Giants are looking for WR help instead of playing Golladay. Our story on Tuesday said Golladay could even end up as a healthy scratch in the near future. His contract makes him difficult to trade, and cutting him would cost the Giants at least $25 million in dead cap space. Instead, the Giants are playing the likes of James and Sills. Shepard led the way with six catches but just 34 yards. Tony had just two catches for zero yards and also seems to be in the doghouse. It also seems the current Giants brass doesn't want to play the guys they inherited. Robinson, the team's second round pick, could be in store for a lot of playing if can can get back from a knee injury.
