New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt "mentally checked out at points last season after clashing with the coaching staff and upper management," according to Connor Hughes of SNY. Hughes opined that Hyatt should have played more than he did last season, and that the young receiver seems to be stuck in the doghouse. Moving forward, Hyatt's speed and athleticism make him an intriguing pass-catching option in an offense led by veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. However, if he can't find himself in the coaching staff's good graces, he may have trouble seeing the field or even making the roster. As it stands, Hyatt projects as the team's No. 4 receiver, but he could face competition from depth players or a potential free agent addition, such as Gabe Davis.

New York Giants wide receivers Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson are set as the team's top three wideouts going into the 2025 season, and The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll writes that Jalin Hyatt appears to be the favorite for the No. 4 role despite coming off a disappointing 2024 season in which he had only eight catches for 62 yards. The third-rounder in 2023 will face competition from plenty of undrafted free-agent pass-catcher that were brought in, and the G-Men have also been considering adding former Bills and Jaguars receiver Gabe Davis. If the Giants don't add Davis, the WR4 job will be Hyatt's to lose in training camp this summer. His straight-line speed matches up well with quarterback Russell Wilson's deep-ball prowess, so the 23-year-old should take a step forward if he stays healthy.

The New York Giants did not add any notable free-agent wide receivers this offseason, and the team did not pick a wideout in the 2025 NFL Draft. Following those developments, Dan Duggan of The Athletic believes he will safely make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp this summer. Hyatt, a former Fred Biletnikoff Award winner and third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tennessee, has collected just 31 receptions for 435 yards in 33 career games. Last season, he caught eight passes for 62 yards. While it would be surprising to see him on the fantasy football radar, the editions of Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart all but ensure the G-Men will have better quarterback play in 2025. Hyatt likely will not start in three-wide sets, but he could make an impact as a rotational file stretcher. Either way, he can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt refuted the idea that he told the team to give him more snaps or trade him. His comments were a response to a report from Jordan Raanan of ESPN, who claimed Hyatt felt that "if the Giants weren't going to use him, they should trade him." However, when speaking to Tom Canavan of the Associated Press on Friday, Hyatt clarified, "I didn't say that. I don't know where that came from, but that's false. I love being here. Whatever that rumor was, it's not true at all." The Giants selected Hyatt with an early third-round pick in 2023. Since then, he has caught 23 passes for 373 yards (all in 2023). He will continue to operate behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton going forward.

Because he was frustrated with his standing on the depth chart, New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt requested a trade over the summer, according to multiple team sources. Hyatt played 15 offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and 11 snaps in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders. He has had one target, which he dropped in the fourth quarter in Week 1. The former third-rounder in 2023 spent most of the summer as the No. 2 wideout behind rookie Malik Nabers, but Hyatt fell behind Darius Slayton on the depth chart in late August. At this point, the Giants think Slayton, a proven veteran, is the better option. Although he's not a big part of the offense currently, the Giants don't have any plans to trade Hyatt. The 22-year-old had 23 catches for 373 yards (16.2 yards per catch) in 2023. For now, Hyatt is off the fantasy radar in most fantasy formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has the potential to be a boom-or-bust flex option in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. Hyatt, who showcased his game-breaking speed as a rookie last season, could see a breakout opportunity this week. His deep-threat ability could be a nightmare for Minnesota's shaky cornerbacks, especially with Daniel Jones showing increasing trust in the young wideout downfield. With the Vikings struggling in pass coverage and the Giants' offense poised for more vertical attacks, Hyatt is a sneaky flex option in deeper leagues this week.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has reportedly put on weight this offseason. The second-year wideout is listed as 185 pounds heading into camp. Hyatt didn't provide the exact number, but he has added some bulk this offseason. The young wideout mentioned that he needed to get bigger in order to play more on the outside as a wide receiver. It'll be interesting to see how Hyatt is worked into the gameplan after a fairly quiet rookie campaign. The wide receiver room is only getting more crowded with Malik Nabers joining the team as their first-round draft pick. Hyatt could be a late-round flier on draft boards this fall.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has made "tremendous improvement" in knowing what to do out of the huddle and pre-snap, according to head coach Brian Daboll. The 2023 third-round pick had a quiet year with the G-Men as a rookie after a monster final season at the University of Tennessee in 2022. While catching passes from Daniel Jones, Tommy Devito, and Tyrod Taylor, Hyatt caught just 23 passes for 373 yards. It's a good sign that Daboll noted his improvement, but it's tough to find a path toward fantasy upside in 2024. Jones remains the starter at quarterback, and No. 6 overall pick Malik Nabers is expected to be the team's WR1 right away. That said, Hyatt can stretch the field and become a deep threat, making him an interesting late-round flier in best ball formats. He's narrowly on the fantasy radar in traditional "start 'em, sit 'em" leagues.
Jun 6, 2024 4:16 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has likely dropped to No. 3 on the depth chart after the team spent a first-round pick on Malik Nabers, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan notes that Nabers already has the inside path to being New York's No. 1 receiver and Darius Slayton will likely start opposite him. With that said, there could be an opportunity for Hyatt to surpass Slayton on the depth chart. "The plan should be for Hyatt to take on a bigger role this season and eventually replace Slayton," writes Duggan. Such a plan would put Hyatt on the radar in deeper dynasty leagues, but he can be avoided in most redraft formats.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt didn't have a memorable rookie campaign. He finished his inaugural year with only 23 catches for 373 yards. He also failed to find the end zone. However, John Fennelly of Giants Wire believes there's reason for fantasy managers to be optimistic for various reasons. Hyatt led the team with 16.2 yards per catch. He also had no issues finding the field, appearing in 557 of the snaps on offense, the third-most out of the receiving corps behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton. That said, it's too early to predict Hyatt's outlook heading into next season, at least until most of the offseason activities have concluded. Yet, the 2023 No. 73 overall pick is worth adding to any dynasty roster, and his fantasy ceiling could rise even more if the Giants get stability at the quarterback position.
Jan 20, 2024 9:37 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (hamstring) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. At the time of his departure, he had caught one of two targets for just five yards. It was a somewhat underwhelming campaign for the rookie as he failed to emerge as a top pass-catching option. He ultimately finishes the season with 23 catches, 373 receiving yards, and zero receiving touchdowns. New York will surely add reinforcements at wide receiver this offseason, creating a lack of clarity around Hyatt's role heading into 2024.
Jan 7, 2024 5:12 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has secured five catches in four weeks, following his first 100-yard performance in Week 12. His snap counts have remained mostly the same, if not better, as he logged a career-high 77 percent of the plays against Los Angeles. He only has himself (and inconsistent quarterback play) to blame for the lack of targets. The Eagles' secondary allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers. However, two weeks ago, Hyatt wasn't able to earn a target against this same secondary. With consistently low target numbers, the rookie can't be played in any leagues, even in a matchup where he could torch cornerbacks with his speed.
Jan 6, 2024 11:10 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt hasn't logged a catch in two weeks and didn't even earn a target in the team's loss to the Eagles in Week 16. The rookie has pulled a disappearing act since the first 100-yard performance of his career against New England in Week 12. Inconsistent quarterback play is a factor, and the Giants don't score enough (14.3 points per game) to support one wide receiver, let alone a rookie a bit further down the depth chart. Hyatt can remain on waiver wires in redraft formats and shouldn't be trusted even in the deepest of leagues against the Rams.
Dec 30, 2023 11:05 AM EST
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has been a disappointment since his first 100-yard performance in Week 12. In the two following weeks, the former Biletnikoff Award winner saw six targets, catching just two of them for 13 yards. His snap counts have remained mostly the same, so inconsistent quarterback play is largely to blame. If there was ever a matchup for Hyatt to bounce back, it's Philadelphia this week. The Eagles' secondary allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers. He's still too risky of a play in all leagues, especially during the fantasy playoffs, but an above-average performance from the rookie wouldn't surprise many people.
Dec 23, 2023 11:06 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt failed to catch any of his three targets in the Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Eight Giants players caught a pass on Sunday, but Hyatt was not one of them. The third-round rookie now has two or fewer receptions in nine games this year, so he's fallen completely off the fantasy radar. He can continue to be stashed in dynasty leagues, but he cannot be trusted even in deep redraft leagues based on his overall body of work this year. Even in a favorable matchup against the struggling Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, keep him on the bench or waiver wire.
Dec 18, 2023 2:21 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt followed up his first 100-yard performance in Week 12 with a Week 14 dud. The rookie secured just two of his three targets for 13 yards, despite playing nearly two-thirds of the snaps. With Tommy Devito under center and a lack of experience himself, Hyatt simply can't be trusted in any fantasy football format. The third-round pick ranks outside of the top 60 at the position. He's still more than worthy of a roster spot in dynasty leagues but it appears that's all he'll be in his rookie year.
Dec 16, 2023 10:10 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is fresh off of the first 100-yard performance of his career and followed that with a bye week. Frequently, teams use the time off to better integrate their young offensive weapons that haven't fully emerged yet. Still, for fantasy football, Hyatt remains more of a stash candidate than a plug-and-play option. The Giants' passing offense still ranks as the worst in the NFL, so it's tough to trust anyone on that side of the football (outside of Saquon Barkley). Hyatt is the most exciting option of the receivers in New York but is a mid-range WR4 in the grand scheme of things.
Dec 9, 2023 11:20 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt posted a career-best performance against the New England Patriots. The third-round rookie led the team in targets (6), catches (5), and receiving yards (109) to help lead the Giants to a 10-7 victory. New York only tallied 220 yards of total offense, meaning the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner accounted for nearly half of the team's yards. Hyatt's stat line will draw the attention of fantasy managers scouring the waiver wire for help at the wide receiver position, but the Giants are now heading into their bye. Hyatt is still a better roster fit in deep keeper and dynasty formats.
Nov 26, 2023 8:02 PM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt may get more chances to show off his speed against the Patriots with starting wideout Darius Slayton (neck) doubtful to take the field. Despite tallying just three catches for 26 yards over the last three games with Tommy Devito under center, Hyatt's speed has been a weapon that the Giants' coaching staff has been pushing to get on the field. The other deep threat at the position is the veteran Slayton, who has led the team in receiving yards in two of the last three weeks. The rookie Hyatt is still just a stash candidate in dynasty and deep redraft formats, but he could see an increased number of routes and targets against New England.
Nov 25, 2023 10:52 AM EST
New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be able to play against the Washington Commanders in Week 11. It's an opportunity for the rookie to repeat or build off of one of the better performances of his young career when he played Washington the first time around. Then, he caught two passes for 75 yards. Tyrod Taylor was under center for that contest. This time, it will be undrafted rookie Tommy Devito picking up his second start. His longest completion has gone for just 34 yards. There aren't any options in the New York passing game worth rostering in redraft formats. Keep hanging on to the third-round rookie in dynasty formats, but don't let him near starting lineups.
