Jaxson Dart and the Giants adjust on the fly to life without Malik Nabers

The New York Giants are quickly adjusting to life without Malik Nabers after their No. 1 wide receiver was lost for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee

OCTOBER 1, 2025 • Associated Press

No looks Sunday despite more snaps Hyatt did not get targeted through the air during Sunday's 21-18 Week 4 victory over the Chargers.

Impact In Jaxson Dart's first start for New York, Hyatt logged a 38 percent offensive snap share but did not have a ball thrown his way. The third-year wideout has not gotten a target through four weeks this season, though it's worth noting that he didn't see the field in Week 1 or Week 2 and logged just six offensive snaps in Week 3. Hyatt could be in for a significantly larger role for the remainder of the campaign after Malik Nabers tore his ACL on Sunday, as only Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are clearly ahead of him on the wideout depth chart. With that being said, Hyatt has struggled to produce so far in the NFL even when given opportunities, so fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach when determining whether he's worth even a dart throw off the waiver wire.

MRI confirms Giants receiver Malik Nabers has a torn ACL, coach Brian Daboll says

An MRI confirmed that New York Giants receiver Malik Nabers has a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to coach Brian Daboll

Doesn't see field again Week 2 Hyatt did not log any snaps Sunday in an overtime loss to Dallas.

Impact Hyatt was the only one of New York's active players who did not play at all in the defeat. It was the second straight week that Hyatt went unused, so it's clear early on that the Giants don't see him as a big part of their offense. Darius Slayton and Malik Nabers logged all but one of New York's offensive snaps in the loss, and Wan'Dale Robinson was on the field for 70 percent of the plays, while both Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski participated only on special teams. With that in mind, Hyatt hasn't necessarily slipped below fourth in the pecking order, but the team simply hasn't cared to extend its WR personnel beyond its top three options.

Invisible in opener Hyatt did not log any snaps Sunday in a Week 1 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact There was no chance to see what kind of chemistry Hyatt could have with new Giants QB Russell Wilson, as the third-year wideout didn't even get on the field. As expected, Malik Nabers dominated passing targets with 12, while Wan'Dale Robinson got eight and Darius Slayton logged just one. Meanwhile, the only other New York wideout to even get any snaps on offense was Beaux Collins, who was on the field for two plays. Hyatt's fantasy viability was already extremely shaky given that he's been slated as No. 4 on New York's wideout depth chart, and Sunday's lack of action further underscores that he's unlikely to make much of an impact this year barring at least one injury ahead of him in the pecking order.

WR Jalin Hyatt: 'That quarterback room is talented' Wide Receiver Jalin Hyatt speaks to the media after the Giants preseason game against the Patriots

AUGUST 22, 2025 • GIANTS.COM

Scores TD Hyatt caught three of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

Impact Hyatt had a solid stat line but also let two downfield passes slip through his hands, perhaps showing why he's struggled to earn regular-season snaps and targets since the Giants made him a third-round pick in 2023. There have even been whispers about the roster bubble this summer, and Hyatt will likely just be fourth or fifth on the depth chart even if it turns out his job is safe.

Nabs one catch in preseason debut Hyatt caught one of two targets for 21 yards in a 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday.

Impact Hyatt sat out New York's preseason opener last Saturday while dealing with an undisclosed issue, but he was able to suit up and log 11 offensive snaps against the Jets. His catch was a 21-yard connection with Russell Wilson on the Giants' first drive of the second quarter. The upcoming season could be a crucial one for Hyatt, as he'll have the opportunity to work with a more stable set of quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart following two disappointing campaigns to begin his NFL career. However, Hyatt is behind each of Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson on the depth chart, making his path to production tricky.

AUGUST 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for action Saturday Hyatt (undisclosed) is warming up Saturday and appears set to suit up for the Giants' preseason game against the Jets, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hyatt wasn't able to suit up for New York's preseason opener against Buffalo and had recently been limited to individual drills, but the 2023 third-round pick now looks back to full health. A strong showing versus the Jets could assist Hyatt in his goal securing the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (undisclosed). Hyatt has reportedly bulked up to around 190 pounds after playing last season at 172.

AUGUST 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Wednesday Hyatt (undisclosed) is practicing Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hyatt was held out of Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo despite taking part in each of the Giants' previous six practices, per Dan Duggan and Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, and the reason for his absence wasn't disclosed. The wideout had missed some practices earlier in training camp due to lower-body tightness, but it's unclear if his absence Saturday was related to that. Whatever the case may be, it's promising for Hyatt's status moving forward that he was able to return to practice Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday, though Duggan notes the receiver did work on the side rather than taking team reps. As such, it bears monitoring how long Hyatt will be limited to side work.

Doesn't travel with team Saturday Head coach Brian Daboll said Saturday that Hyatt is working through an undisclosed injury and did not travel with the team for Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Ryan Dun...

Impact The nature and severity of Hyatt's injury is unknown, but it prevented the 2023 third-rounder from travelling with the team for Saturday's exhibition contest. The Giants' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Jets, and Hyatt will need to return to practice this upcoming week in order to have a chance at playing. With Hyatt, Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Malik Nabers (shoulder) all sidelined, there are opportunities for Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Zach Pascal and Montrell Washington to get more reps with the first-team offense alongside Wan'Dale Robinson.

WR Jalin Hyatt on bulking up in the offseason Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt speaks to the media Friday after practice at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.

AUGUST 1, 2025 • GIANTS.COM

Up to 190 pounds Hyatt said Friday that he currently weighs 189-190 pounds, after playing last season at around 172, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bulk and strength have been major concerns dating back to the pre-draft process in 2023 when Hyatt checked in at 6-foot, 176 pounds. He apparently played his second NFL season at an even lighter weight, catching just eight passes across 346 snaps in 16 games. He hopes the extra pounds will help him with blocking and contested catches, but the 2023 third-round pick may nonetheless find himself on the roster bubble this summer.

AUGUST 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Sunday Hyatt (lower body) is practicing Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hyatt was held out of practice Friday due to cramping/tightness in his lower body. Though he's participating in practice Sunday, he's slated to be eased back, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. It's an important training camp for Hyatt, as he's trying to cement his place as New York's fourth wideout.

JULY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Friday's practice Hyatt did not participate in Friday's practice due to cramping and tightness in his lower body, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Hyatt appears to be past a leg injury that he suffered during mandatory minicamp in June. The 2023 third-rounder is working through some lingering issues early in training camp, but that shouldn't impact his availability for preseason games. Hyatt needs all the reps he can get during training camp, as he's competing for the WR3 job against Darius Slayton, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Zach Pascal, among others.
