Giants | Two injured players traveling Sat Dec 7, 12:17 PM
New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) and CB Trumaine McBride (groin) are traveling with the team for their Week 14 game. Jacobs is listed as doubtful for the game while McBride is listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs should be back on the field this week. This means we could see fewer carries for Peyton Hillis. Jacobs may also steal a goal line carry or two away from Andre Brown. |

New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is doubtful for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Peyton Hillis is the backup again this week, and if Andre Brown suffers an injury, he's the Giants back to own. |

Giants | Brandon Jacobs expects to practice Friday Thu Dec 5, 08:50 PM
New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) said he plans to participate in practice Friday, Dec. 6, after sitting out practice Thursday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs' knee has been an issue since he had a small resurgence while David Wilson and Andre Brown were both out. Even if Andre Brown goes down, it will probably keep him from being any more than a desperation play for the remainder of this season. |

Giants | More on Brandon Myers Thu Dec 5, 01:40 PM
Updating a previous report, New York Giants TE Brandon Myers (groin) missed practice Thursday, Dec. 5, with a groin issue. Head coach Tom Coughlin said the hope is he will practice Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners have better options than Myers anyway. He's not a great fantasy play even if he's in the lineup against the Chargers on Sunday. |

Giants | Brandon Myers not practicing Thu Dec 5, 12:34 PM
New York Giants TE Brandon Myers (undisclosed) is not participating in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Myers has had two straight games with touchdowns but he's far too risky to put in your lineup unless you are in dire straights. |

Giants | Brandon Jacobs not practicing Thu Dec 5, 12:32 PM
New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) was not participating in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: It's better for Andre Brown owners if Jacobs is out, as he is always a threat to vulture touchdowns. If Jacobs plays he'll mostly hurt Peyton Hillis, who you shouldn't be playing anyway. |

Giants | Jason Pierre-Paul talks about his injury Wed Dec 4, 03:35 PM
New York Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) said his injury got so bad that he was basically rushing with one arm and shoulder. 'There was a point they pulled me,' Pierre-Paul said. 'I'm out there rushing with one arm, one shoulder. It's all on film. I'm trying, I'm trying, it gets to a point where you can't be Superman, you just got to sit down, let the next guy take your place and hopefully he does better than you.'

Giants | Brandon Jacobs practicing Wed Dec 4, 11:07 AM
New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs may be able to get back on the field this week. If he plays then he'll reduce the fantasy value of Peyton Hillis. Jacobs could also cut into the value of Andre Brown as the bulking veteran back is a touchdown vulture. |

Giants | Hakeem Nicks off injury report Wed Dec 4, 10:37 AM
New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (abdomen) is not listed on the injury report this week.

New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin has no idea whether DE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) will be able to return in Week 14 to face the San Diego Chargers. 'He hasn't done anything in a week,' Coughlin said. 'He's been treated. And he's rested. Hopefully there's been some progress made.' The team won't have a clearer status until close to mid-week.

Giants | No update on David Wilson Tue Dec 3, 07:07 PM
New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said there is no update on the future of RB David Wilson (neck).
| Footballguys view: Wilson is already on Injured Reserve. His status for 2014 is up in the air right now. Dynasty owners can buy low if they want, but this neck injury certainly has his future in doubt. |

Giants | Mathias Kiwanuka, Justin Tuck go 100 percent Mon Dec 2, 10:06 PM
New York Giants DEs Mathias Kiwanuka and Justin Tuck were each forced to play 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 12 game against the Washington Redskins Monday, Dec. 2, with the team shorthanded along the defensive line. DE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) is dealing with a serious shoulder injury. Tuck feels he and Kiwanuka could tough it out for the whole month if need be. 'I think we can,' Tuck said Monday, Dec. 2. 'One thing we've been able to do all season is keep our bodies in great shape, staying on top of things in the weight room, making sure we're eating the right things. I think we're in good shape to go.'

Giants | Game planned to stop Alfred Morris Mon Dec 2, 01:07 PM
New York Giants LB Jon Beason said the team's game plan for Week 13 was to stop Washington Redskins RB Alfred Morris, and not QB Robert Griffin III. 'We thought going into the game the cowbell was Alfred Morris,' Beason said. 'You look at when he has a big game vs. when he doesn't have a big game, even when RG3 has a big game, they don't do too well. He's the guy that makes them go.'
| Footballguys view: With the way that Griffin is playing we're seeing teams scheme to shut down the ground game. Defenses stack the box to stop the run, and they dare Griffin to beat them with his arm. |

Giants | Peyton Hillis likely to see action Fri Nov 29, 04:25 PM
New York Giants RB Peyton Hillis is likely to be active in Week 13 against the Washington Redskins with RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) inactive. Hillis will back up RB Andre Brown.
| Footballguys view: Hillis may get a few goal line touches here and there. We still can't recommend him as anything more than a desperation flex play. |

Giants | Hakeem Nicks expects to play Fri Nov 29, 04:20 PM
New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (abdomen) said fully expects to play in Week 13 against the Washington Redskins after being held out by head coach Tom Coughlin in Week 12. 'I did everything in practice, wasn't limited at all, so I think I'm good to start,' Nicks said. 'I feel fine. I feel good, ready to get out there Sunday night. Sunday night football.'
| Footballguys view: Nicks has the name value to stay in your lineup, but that's about it. He's been incredibly disappointing this year and may continue to disappoint even though the Giants have a strong matchup in Week 13 against Washington. |

New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs (knee) did not practice Friday, Nov. 29, and has been ruled out for Week 13

| Footballguys view: Pierre-Paul hasn't really been himself all season. He was set up with a great fantasy IDP opportunity against Washington, but he and his owners will miss out on this matchup. |

New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (abdomen) was participating in the portion of practice open to the media Friday, Nov. 29.
| Footballguys view: Nicks should play against Washington this weekend, and the matchup is a good one, but he hasn't been providing upside in the way of strong play in the red zone or explosive plays downfield. You should probably pass on using him this week, and maybe for the rest of this year. |
