Giants | Daniel Fells has more surgery Thu Oct 15, 12:08 PM
New York Giants TE Daniel Fells (foot) had another surgery Wednesday, Oct. 14, as doctors try to fight off a MRSA staph infection in his foot and leg. It was his sixth surgery since being diagnosed with MRSA two weeks ago, and he remains in a New York City hospital while he receives antibiotics. Fells is likely to have more surgery, but there remains optimism about his long-term prognosis. Fells is unlikely to play football again as a result of the infection and the surgery to treat it. Hope has increased that he won't need surgery to amputate his foot.
| Footballguys view: We join the Giants in sending our best to Fells and hope he is able to overcome this sickness and live a long and happy life regardless of football. |

New York Giants TE Daniel Fells (foot) received optimism from doctors that he may not lose his foot, according to sources close to the situation. Fells remains in a New York hospital for the foreseeable future as he and his doctors work to fight off the staph infection he contracted in his foot two weeks ago. Sources with knowledge of Fells' situation confirmed to ESPN that he has undergone five surgical procedures, with more scheduled, in an effort to stop the infection from spreading, but that doctors are hopeful his current course of antibiotics can continue to have the positive effect it has had over the past few days.

Giants | May use committee at TE Mon Aug 25, 05:21 PM
The New York Giants may use a committee approach with their tight ends this season based on different situations, according to head coach Tom Coughlin. 'I really think that there'll be a group of guys that'll play that'll help us in different situations and will be matched up according to the circumstance,' Coughlin said. 'I think that's where it's going to go. I think there's a lot of roles for that spot.' TEs Larry Donnell, Adrien Robinson, Daniel Fells and Kellen Davis are expected to make the final roster, but no starter has been named.

Giants | Larry Donnell leading TE pack Mon Aug 11, 11:31 AM
New York Giants TE Larry Donnell is leading the positional race so far, according to Dan Graziano, who said Donnell has the surest hands of the group. Daniel Fells' (knee) injury has helped Donnell's cause. He's a good downfield blocker but needs to improve his run blocking at the point of the attack, Graziano said.
| Footballguys view: The bottom line here is that there is likely no fantasy value coming from the Giants TE position. Adrien Robinson has the athletic ability to present upside, but he is struggling to move up a very weak depth chart. |

New York Giants TE Daniel Fells has received the first snap in 11-on-11 drills during the team's two days in training camp.
| Footballguys view: The Giants tight end situation is a mess, with no proven pass catchers in the bunch. This means more three-wide sets, which could make #12 overall pick Odell Beckham or 2013 late-season star Jerrel Jernigan candidates to see the field a lot this year. "JPP of tight ends" Adrien Robinson is the only name worth watching in this position battle, but the chances that this situation produces a fantasy relevant TE are very low. |

| Footballguys view: The Giants have to find a tight end for Eli Manning. The team hasn't been the same at the position since Martellus Bennett moved on in free agency. We love the athletic upside of Robinson, but the raw tight end needs to prove he's developed as a route-runner and blocker in order to win the starting job. |
