New York Giants news, rumors and injuriesGiants | Davis Webb stealing reps Sun, 25 Jun 2017 20:27:18 -0700 New York Giants QB Davis Webb made a habit of lining up behind QB Eli Manning during OTAs when Manning ran plays with the first-team offense. "I've always done that since I was in seventh grade, watching the varsity quarterback at my dad's high school," Webb said at minicamp. "Just trying to steal reps as much as I can." Comment () | Share: Giants | Odell Beckham deal not top priority Sat, 24 Jun 2017 11:53:17 -0700 New York Giants team president John Mara said WR Odell Beckham Jr. could receive a contract extension in the near future but it is not a top priority for the Giants at this time. Mara said there is no timetable for Beckham's extension. Fantasy Tip: Beckham reportedly skipped most of the offseason workouts because of his contract situation but will be at training camp even if he does not have an extension. Beckham is one of the best receiver in the NFL and should be a first- or second-round pick in all fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Giants | Does Eli Manning have plenty of gas in tank? Thu, 22 Jun 2017 10:48:23 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning still has many years to play in the NFL, in the opinion of owner John Mara. Fantasy Tip: At 36 years old, Manning has posted three straight seasons of at least 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns. Longevity seems to be in the Manning gene pool -- brother Peyton played for 18 seasons and father Archie played for 16 seasons. As for Eli's fantasy value, he's a high-end QB2 with the ability to perform as a QB1 depending on the matchup. Comment () | Share: Giants | B.J. Goodson on track to start Sun, 18 Jun 2017 17:43:08 -0700 New York Giants LB B.J. Goodson has the inside track to start at middle linebacker this season, and he could be used as a three-down player. Comment () | Share: Giants | Odell Beckham Jr. more ready than ever Sun, 18 Jun 2017 09:59:02 -0700 New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. believes everything is starting to come together for him as he enters his fourth season. "In every which way, I just feel it. ... Mentally, physically, spiritually, everything, I just don't think I've ever been as ready as I am now," Beckham said. Fantasy Tip: It's a scary thought for NFL defenses for a player who has averaged 96 catches for 1,374 yards and 12 touchdowns over his first three seasons. In reality, OBJ's numbers should take a slight hit in 2017 with the addition of Brandon Marshall and first-round tight end Evan Engram as well as the continued improvement of second-year wideout Sterling Shepard. Nevertheless, Beckham remains in strong consideration for a top-five pick in fantasy drafts this summer. Comment () | Share: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:44:20 -0700 Updating a previous report, New York Giants TE Evan Engram's four-year deal is worth $10.7 million with a $5.9 million signing bonus. All first-round picks receive an option for a fifth year. Fantasy Tip: Engram has wowed with his speed, and the hype in fantasy circles is building. He may start going off the board in the midrange TE1 area. Comment () | Share: Giants | Evan Engram signs contract Thu, 15 Jun 2017 13:41:05 -0700 New York Giants TE Evan Engram signed his four-year rookie deal Thursday, June 15. Financial terms were not disclosed. Fantasy Tip: Engram joins a crowded pass-catching corps in New York. He'll be targeted behind the likes of Odell Beckham, Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard, but his size, athleticism and playmaking ability will demand some targets. Still, Engram is outside of TE1 territory in his first year. Comment () | Share: Giants | Justin Pugh has back injury Wed, 14 Jun 2017 11:16:17 -0700 New York Giants OG Justin Pugh has missed the first two practices during minicamp because of a back injury. He said he does not expect the injury to linger into training camp. Comment () | Share: Giants | Evan Engram does not practice Wed, 14 Jun 2017 11:15:06 -0700 New York Giants TE Evan Engram (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, June 14, because of soreness, according to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan. Fantasy Tip: Engram was the team's first round pick and should be involved in the passing game right away. He will be a matchup problem for opposing defenses during his rookie season but probably should only be considered a No. 2 fantasy tight end at this time. Comment () | Share: Giants | Sterling Shepard impressing Wed, 14 Jun 2017 07:19:07 -0700 New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard is catching everything thrown at him in practice, and he caught two touchdowns in team drills Tuesday, June 13. Fantasy Tip: Shepard will be relegated to the third receiver spot, which limits his fantasy prowess. He's still on the WR5 landscape, though. Comment () | Share: Giants | Orleans Darkwa works with first-team Wed, 14 Jun 2017 07:18:38 -0700 New York Giants RB Orleans Darkwa worked extensively with the first-team offense Tuesday, June 13. Fantasy Tip: Darkwa is behind Paul Perkins and Shane Vereen on the depth chart, but he could carve at least a modest role. He's on the RB5 horizon. Comment () | Share: Giants | Olivier Vernon reports for minicamp Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:36:21 -0700 New York Giants DE Olivier Vernon reported to the team's facility Monday, June 12 for the start of minicamp, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: OBJ is one of the best receivers in fantasy and should be a consideration to come off the board during the first few picks in your fantasy draft. Comment () | Share: Giants | Aldrick Rosas drawing praise Sun, 11 Jun 2017 11:15:05 -0700 New York Giants PK Aldrick Rosas is attracting praise from the Giants' coaching staff for his impressive performance in offseason practices.
