Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Justin Shorter

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt had a "strong" minicamp earlier this month, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. A third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Hyatt is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has struggled to carve out a consistent role with the Giants to this point in his career. Across eight games in 2025, the 24-year-old recorded just five receptions for 35 yards on 14 targets. However, New York enters the 2026 season with a seemingly open competition for playing time at wide receiver, particularly with star wideout Malik Nabers (knee) still recovering from a knee injury. Hyatt will also will be working with a new coaching staff in 2026, which could offer the fresh start he needs. In deeper league formats, fantasy managers may want to consider throwing a dart at Hyatt if he continues to draw rave reviews throughout the rest of the summer.
