Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Shut out in passing game again
Jalin Hyatt did not receive a target in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Commanders.Hyatt functioned as New York's No. 4 wideout in the contest, but that resulted in just four offensive snaps -- well behind Malik Nabers (62 offensive snaps), Darius Slayton (60) and Wan'Dale Robinson (47). In fact, three New York Giants tight ends logged more snaps on offense than Hyatt (Theo Johnson with 55, Chris Manhertz with 16 and Daniel Bellinger with 14). Hyatt has just one catch on the campaign and has drawn one or zero targets in seven of the eight games in which he has played. However, he could see a considerable uptick in opportunity Week 10 against Carolina if Darius Slayton, who is currently in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, is unable to suit up.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Gathers first catch of campaign
Jalin Hyatt caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Cincinnati.For the second straight week, Hyatt logged a healthy offensive snap count (81 percent Sunday after 68 percent Week 5) with Malik Nabers (concussion) unable to suit up. The increased opportunities haven't amounted to much production, however. After failing to get even a target last week, Hyatt got only four against the Bengals and made just one catch for a small gain. It's clear at this point that the second-year wideout isn't in sync with QB Daniel Jones or New York's offensive game plan as a whole even when he's on the field, and Hyatt could fall back to a minimal snap count Week 7 versus Philadelphia if Nabers is able to return.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Logs 48 snaps without target
Jalin Hyatt did not receive a target or carry in Sunday's 29-20 Week 5 win over Seattle.With Malik Nabers (concussion) unable to suit up for the contest, it was expected that Hyatt would get more of an opportunity to produce after topping out at just 15 offensive snaps over his first four games. That opportunity did come to pass -- Hyatt was on the field for 48 of New York's 72 offensive snaps -- but production did not follow, as he wasn't targeted for the second time this season. Hyatt was selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft to help boost what was then an unexciting receiving corps, but he caught just 23 passes (on 40 targets) over 17 regular-season games as a rookie and now appears to be almost completely an afterthought in the New York Giants' passing game. Given his performance Sunday, there's little reason for fantasy managers to consider starting him Week 6 against Cincinnati even if Nabers is held out again.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: One target in Week 4
Jalin Hyatt failed to catch his only target in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys.Hyatt remained a non-factor for the New York Giants in Week 4, playing just 13 of the team's 69 offensive snaps. The wide receiver's lack of production against Dallas is rather disheartening knowing that Daniel Jones attempted 40 passes in the contest. Hyatt appears to be an afterthought in New York's offense early in 2024, buried beneath Malik Nabers (concussion), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton at wide receiver.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Shut out in Week 3 win
Jalin Hyatt got just one target, which he didn't catch, in a 21-15 victory against the Browns on Sunday.After Friday's practice, Hyatt refuted a recent report that he requested a trade late this summer, per Tom Canavan of the Associated Press. It's unclear if the rumblings had any impact on his playing time Sunday. Though he logged a season-low 10 offensive snaps, that number wasn't much different than the 15 and 11 he played in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively. Hyatt has drawn just two targets so far this season, neither of which has resulted in a catch. For the time being, he seems to be buried on the wideout depth chart behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (thumb). However, if Slayton's injury causes him to miss any games, Hyatt could see an uptick in opportunity.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Requested trade during summer
Jalin Hyatt requested a trade from the New York Giants during the summer, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.As Raanan tells it, Hyatt was unhappy with his standing on the depth chart and said during a practice late in the summer that if the team wasn't going to use him, they should trade him. Through two games, Hyatt has ran just 14 pass routes -- seventh-most on the team -- and appears buried just one year after the team used the 73rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on the wideout. Coach Brian Daboll has stressed to Hyatt that his time is coming, but he's running as the distant fourth receiver behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and slot man Wan'Dale Robinson. It wouldn't be a shock to see Hyatt supplant Slayton in the near future, but it's clear Hyatt is frustrated at the moment.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Serving as No. 4 receiver
Jalin Hyatt failed to draw a target while playing 12 of the New York Giants' 56 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders.With Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton solidified as the Giants' starting wideout trio, Hyatt has been unable to make much of an impression in the box score through the first two weeks of the season. After failing to secure his lone target in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Vikings, Hyatt didn't draw any looks from quarterback Daniel Jones in Week 2. Hyatt will likely need one of the aforementioned receivers to miss time before he handles a more meaningful snap count.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Rarely involved Week 1
Jalin Hyatt didn't catch his only target in a Week 1 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.Hyatt logged only 16 offensive snaps in the defeat, which was well behind fellow wideouts Malik Nabers (71), Darius Slayton (51) and Wan'Dale Robinson (48). That provides pretty clear evidence of where Hyatt is on the depth chart right now, though he could see significantly more opportunity Week 2 versus Washington on Sunday if Slayton is unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time for the contest.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Minimal action in preseason opener
Jalin Hyatt caught his only target for no gain in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.Hyatt's lone target came from Drew Lock (hip) on the opening drive. Rookie sixth overall pick Malik Nabers wasn't targeted at all on his 12 snaps in the game, so neither of the young speedsters made much of an impact Thursday. Hyatt's coming off a 373-yard rookie season, and the 2023 third-round draft pick is trying to carve out a larger role in 2024. The New York Giants' second preseason game will be next Saturday in Houston.

Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Getting regular first-team work
Jalin Hyatt has been getting more first-team reps than Darius Slayton (undisclosed) during training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.This seems to at least partially be a product of Slayton managing a minor injury, but it's nonetheless a nice opportunity for Hyatt on the heels of a disappointing rookie season. The 2023 third-round pick caught 23 of 40 targets for 373 yards in 17 regular-season games last year, averaging 16.2 yards per catch while drawing a target on just 10.6 percent of routes. He'll need to draw targets at a much higher rate to achieve mainstream fantasy relevance, which could be a challenge if fellow WRs Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson develop as the New York Giants hope. On the other hand, a lack of established options at TE and RB could push a huge portion of the team's targets toward the WRs.
