Kenny Golladay's 1st TD as Giant excites teammates on cusp of playoffs He had played only 10 total offensive snaps the past three weeks with no targets.

Finally finds end zone Golladay caught two of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
Impact In his 26th and potentially final game for the Giants, Golladay finally got into the end zone for his first TD with the team, catching a 25-yard toss from Davis Webb late in the fourth quarter during a game in which New York was resting most of its starters. Golladay suited up for 12 games this season and finished with a 6-81-1 line on 17 targets, disastrous production relative to his cap hit of over $21 million. The 29-year-old has two more years remaining on his current deal, but it seems almost certain the Giants will cut him loose in the offseason.

Giants' no-name receiving trio has helped put team on brink of playoffs
Darius Slayton, Richie James and Isaiah Hodgins aren't stars, but Giants QB Daniel Jones has put up career numbers throwing to them.DECEMBER 29, 2022
Not targeted Week 14 Golladay did not see any targets in the Giants' Week 14 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.
Impact Golladay logged only 11 offensive snaps in the contest, significantly less than the amount tallied by fellow wideouts Richie James (58), Isaiah Hodgins (57) and Darius Slayton (53). It may be hard to remember that Golladay was slated to be New York's top wideout coming into the campaign, as he hasn't come close to matching the 44 offensive snaps he logged Week 1 against Tennessee. In fact, Golladay has only two catches since the season opener, both of which came Week 11 against Detroit. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar at this point.

Giants' playoff hopes rest in hands of Daniel Jones, faulty passing game

Gets back to full participation Golladay (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Golladay sat out this past Sunday versus the Commanders due to an illness that he came down with one day prior. Now that he's operating on all cylinders again on the practice field, though, he's good to go moving forward. Still, Golladay is no better than fourth in the wide receiver pecking order for the Giants, with all of Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins and Richie James (knee) better bets to connect with quarterback Daniel Jones on game days.

Won't play Sunday with illness Golladay (illness) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Commanders.
Impact Golladay was tacked on to the Giants' Week 13 injury report Saturday, suddenly leaving him questionable for Sunday's game due to an illness. While there was a belief he'd be able to play, he felt worse when he woke up Sunday morning and now won't be available to the team's offense, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Golladay out, Darius Slayton (illness), Richie James (knee), Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson and David Sills are the active wide receivers for New York this week.
DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Golladay (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, is expected to be healthy enough to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Darius Slayton (illness) is also expected to play, according to Rapoport, so Golladay may not see an increased role, although the status of fellow wideout Richie James (knee) remains uncertain. Even with New York's receiving corps becoming more and more depleted as the season has rolled along, Golladay has yet to carve out a sizable role. While suiting up in each of the Giants' last three games, Golladay has played between 31 and 43 percent of the snaps on offense while hauling in two of four targets for 29 yards over that span.

Impact The Giants are already dangerously thin at wide receiver and the likes of Darius Slayton (illness) and Richie James (knee) being questionable doesn't help matters either. Golladay has drawn just four targets over the last three weeks combined since returning from a multi-week absence due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran receiver has at least been soaking up a decent number of snaps per game. Expect the Giants to provide more information regarding the numerous injuries to their pass catchers before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
