The Giants signaled their dissatisfaction with their current pass-catching options by selecting a wide receiver with the No.6 overall pick in the NFL Draft. With that in mind, it's tough to get very excited about any of the other wide receivers in what is expected to be a low-efficiency Giants passing game. Players like Darius Slayton have had their moments, and Jalin Hyatt was a hot name rising up many fantasy draft boards prior to the 2023 season. However, the odds-on favorite to see the most playing time aside from Malik Nabers has to be Wan'Dale Robinson.
Robinson is a slot specialist who uses his speed to create separation near the line of scrimmage and make plays after the catch. That skill set is something the Giants don't have much of on their existing roster. Given their still-shaky offensive line and questionable quarterback play, there's a good chance they will need to utilize Robinson's abilities.
Unfortunately, these types of players don't often become fantasy superstars because, while they may have a high catch rate, they don't often break off big plays that result in touchdowns. Instead, they typically make a few catches each game. Five receptions for 50 yards and no touchdowns doesn't sound exciting for fantasy purposes.
Perhaps the addition of a true field-stretching star receiver like Malik Nabers can open things up for Robinson underneath and allow him to find more room after the catch. However, it's fairly likely that we'll see Robinson take a step back in overall target share, which will limit his potential as a fantasy asset. Still, he is someone who could be a late-round option for those in very deep PPR formats.

 Malik Nabers ruled Out for Week 5
Has yet to clear concussion protocol

FFToday's Take: Since Nabers was concussed Thursday of last week, there was some optimism that would be ready to go for Week 5. Not the case. The Giants passing game will feature Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson and perhaps Jalin Hyatt who has 3 targets and has yet to catch a pass this season. Robinson is a viable PPR option while Slayton is a risky Flex.
