This makes back-to-back disappointing seasons for Hyatt, who was drafted by the Giants in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The speedy receiver has caught just 31 passes for 435 scoreless yards in his first two years as a pro, struggling to find his footing in a Giants offense that is short on receiver talent outside of Malik Nabers. With Darius Slayton likely to depart in the offseason, a role could open up for Hyatt in 2025, but we wouldn't hold our collective breaths. Both Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson should have solidified roles for next season, leaving Hyatt to compete with whoever else is brought in during the offseason.
Slayton attempted to make the most of a season where he took a backseat to both Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. The sixth-year vet caught 39 passes for 573 yards and two touchdowns on the season but enjoyed a few splash weeks in games where Nabers was sidelined. Those strong few weeks made up most of his production on the year, as Slayton managed just 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown in his final eight games. Slayton seems unlikely to return to the Giants after he voiced frustration over his contract last offseason. He could help several teams as a field stretcher who is capable of more when called upon, but he'll be hard to trust in fantasy as anything more than a late-round dart throw who is probably best suited for best ball leagues.
One of the questions to be answered after Week 18 is if it will be Brian Daboll's final game as the Giants' head coach.
