Rookie wide receiver an elite target earner despite Giants woes
The Giants were trounced by the Ravens 35-14 Sunday. Malik Nabers was the lone standout for the G-men, earning 14 targets and catching 10 for 82 yards and a touchdown. With a 6.2 ADOT in this one and Tommy DeVito/Tim Boyle throwing Nabers the ball, he is not racking up gawdy yardage. The rookie is a solid PPR play, however. Scoring his first touchdown since Week 3 helps, but the Giants cannot be expected to be productive in that department. They have not topped 20 points in their last five contests. None of the other pass catchers is producing at a startable level for fantasy. None recorded more than four catches or 40 yards versus the Ravens.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary split the backfield work in this one, Tracy carrying the ball 10 times to Singletary’s eight. Tracy was targeted four times to Singletary’s three, but the rookie caught just one pass while Singletary caught all three. Neither back topped 50 yards from scrimmage, Singletary scoring the lone rushing TD in the second quarter. Nabers is safe as a PPR play, but the whole Giants offensive unit will continue to struggle with the question marks at quarterback.

The New York Jets announced that Tim Boyle will start against the Miami Dolphins on Friday.
The Jets have finally seen enough of Zach Wilson as the starter, and have decided to start Tim Boyle against Miami on Black Friday Football. With Wilson under center, the Jets offense has been spinning their wheels in mud and just not going anywhere. Wilson was even demoted to third-stringer as the Jets signed Trevor Siemian to the active roster from their practice squad.
The last time Boyle was a starter in the NFL he was with Lions two years ago. In 2021 with the Lions, Boyle accumulated 526 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. Boyle’s main objective will be to get the ball to Garrett Wilson, hand the to Breece Hall, don’t turn the ball over, and get out of the way. Boyle is not guaranteed any other starts after Friday.
With Siemian being signed to the main roster, Boyle will be on a short leash. Siemian has more experience as a starter and should be starting soon enough for the Jets if Boyle struggles under center. Either way, both quarterbacks are a bridge gap until Aaron Rodgers tries to return to the team by season’s end. One thing is for sure Wilson may have seen his last days as a starter for the Jets.
The New York Jets will start Zach Wilson at quarterback in the Hall of Fame game vs the Cleveland Browns.
The New York Jets plan to sit all of their starters, including Aaron Rodgers, in the Hall of Fame Game. Zach Wilson has the inside track to the backup job and will look to shine after a brutal year in 2022.
Former Green Bay Packer Tim Boyle is technically competing with Wilson, though he hasn’t looked the part in camp so far. Boyle and Chris Streveler, who Wilson was benched for in a loss to the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football, will also see action.
