Who Should I Start? Lil'Jordan Humphrey or Jalin Hyatt

Friday, May 9, 10:22 PM

The New York Giants released wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Friday, a source told The Athletic's Dan Duggan. Humphrey will head right back to the free-agent market after signing with the G-Men in late March. Humphrey posted career-highs in catches (31), targets (45) and receiving yards (293) while catching one touchdown pass in 17 regular-season games (seven starts) in his second year with the Denver Broncos in 2024. The 27-year-old was set to serve as wideout depth in the Big Apple this year, but he has lost his roster spot after the Giant recently signed five undrafted rookie free-agent wideouts. Humphrey should latch on with another team as receiver depth. In six NFL seasons, Humphrey has produced only 62 receptions for 770 yards and seven touchdowns on 92 targets over 58 games played (23 starts).

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt was back in action on Sunday after being held out of Friday's practice due to cramping/tightness. Hyatt was evaluated during warmups and given the green light. With Wan'Dale Robinson missing time in each of the last two practices, the noticeably bulked-up third-year wideout is looking to work his way into a larger role after seeing only 19 targets as a rookie and 40 in 2024. While the Giants' offense is built to run through Malik Nabers, Hyatt's speed made him a deep ball specialist in college, so he well could find himself on the receiving end of the occasional Russell Wilson moonball. This probably isn't enough to make him fantasy relevant in most formats, but for those with a large enough portfolio, he could be worth the occasional swing in 20-round best ball drafts.
