Theo Johnson, Theo Johnson Upgrades To Full Practice

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (back) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice after he went down as limited on the injury report on Wednesday. Johnson has been dealing with a back injury of late but didn't miss the Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany and had extra time to heal up during last week's bye. He had three catches for a season-high 51 yards and the first touchdown of his NFL career in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders. Johnson has some intriguing long-term upside for those in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he hasn't really moved the needle as more of a TE3 in his first year in the league. The 23-year-old's fantasy stock in 2024 will likely be negatively affected by quarterback Daniel Jones' benching, as well as the impending return of receiver Darius Slayton (concussion).

Darius Slayton, Darius Slayton Puts In Another Full Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) is stacking good days coming out of the bye week, practicing in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Slayton suffered a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and didn't travel to Germany the following week in the overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers. Last week's bye looks like it did Slayton some good, too, and he should be expected to return to the field this Sunday to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old should return to starting three-wide sets alongside rookie Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, although now he'll be taking passes from quarterback Tommy Devito after Daniel Jones' benching. That's bad news for Slayton's fantasy upside, making him more of a WR5/flex in deeper leagues.

Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tyrone Tracy Jr. Set For Big Week 12

ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. could have a big Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are giving up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to RBs this year. Although Tracy had a costly overtime fumble in the Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany before their Week 11 bye, the rookie did have his third 100-yard rushing performance as well. The fumble shouldn't affect his role moving forward, with Graziano writing that the Giants see him as a more dynamic option than Devin Singletary in an offense that is turning to Tommy Devito under center moving forward. It wouldn't be a surprise for the G-Men to lean on the ground game as much as possible this week against Tampa. Tracy should be viewed as a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers in a week with six teams on bye.

Theo Johnson, Theo Johnson On The Injury Report Coming Off Bye

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (back) finds himself on the Week 12 injury report after being listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Johnson played through the back injury before the Week 11 bye in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany and caught four of his six targets for 37 yards. The 23-year-old should be able to play again this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, barring a setback in practice later this week. At best, Johnson is a low-end TE2/high-end TE3 in fantasy, although perhaps he's more involved in the offense moving forward with the Giants benching quarterback Daniel Jones for Tommy Devito. Johnson has caught 21 of 32 targets for 238 yards and one touchdown in his first 10 NFL games. He's mostly rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues.

Darius Slayton, Darius Slayton Tracking Towards A Week 12 Return

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) was listed as a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Slayton still has a ways to go to clear the league's concussion protocol, but it's a good sign for his availability in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old suffered a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Washington Commanders and then sat out the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 10 in Germany. New York had a bye in Week 11. Slayton has cleared 100 yards in two of his nine games in 2024 but has just one touchdown and will be returning to an offense that is benching quarterback Daniel Jones for the rest of the year. He will also have to fight for targets alongside impressive rookie Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, which will make Slayton a boom/bust WR4/flex when he returns.
