Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Luke McCaffrey

Monday, December 1, 7:19 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is a healthy scratch for the Monday night game against the New England Patriots to close out Week 13 action, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. This will be just the second time all year, and the first since Week 8, that Hyatt will sit without dealing with an injury. The 24-year-old will be the odd-man out for a receiving corps that will roll with Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski, and Dalen Cambre as they look to upset the Pats in primetime. The Giants will head into their bye in Week 14, so the next chance Hyatt will have to play will be on Sunday, Dec. 14, against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Hyatt has not been very involved in New York's offense in his third year in the league, catching five of 13 targets for only 35 yards and no touchdowns in seven games.

The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) on injured reserve after suffering a broken collarbone during the opening kickoff of their blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. McCaffrey has been an impactful kick returner and made multiple splash plays on offense this season, but is now expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season. The second-year wideout out of Rice had the third-highest yards per kick return (29.6) and scored three touchdowns on only 11 total receptions as a receiver. The Washington Commanders have been wiped out by injury this season, especially at wide receiver. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr., rookie Jaylin Lane, and the recently signed Treylon Burks will all be expected to see an increase in targets over the second half of the season.
