New York Giants crushed New England 42-10 in a lively preseason finale, riding a fast, balanced attack to a 3-0 finish. Greg Dulcich connected for two touchdowns as part of a four-catch, 26-yard night, while Jaxson Dart opened the scoring with a 65-yard march aided by a 50-yard Gunner Olszewski sprint. Tommy DeVito shined, finishing 17 of 20 for 198 yards and 3 TDs, and if that wasn’t enough, Hyatt grabbed a 30-yard TD and Beaux Collins battled for a roster spot with a critical drop later costing a miscue. The Giants flashed a sharp, versatile screen game too, highlighted by a 41-yard score to Dante Miller. Defensively, they stymied New England to 191 yards and 12 first downs, cementing a general sense of a fun, cohesive unit that played with confidence and chemistry. A parallel storyline: the Giants’ depth pieces impressed enough to complicate cut-down decisions and perhaps even draft-compensation chatter if the right trades surface, especially with DeVito’s well-rounded showcase and the continued development of the screen game and secondary depth.

Jaxson Dart’s late-summer ascent hit a rough patch with a concussion scare after his first Giants start in the preseason finale against New England. The opener flashed promise: a 50-yard improvised connection to Gunner Olszewski and a quick 7-yard Dulcich TD to put New York up early. Yet a late first-quarter fumble and a brutal hit forced Dart to the sideline for evaluation, underscoring the pro game’s hit risk and the need for smart, patient plays from a rookie signal-caller trying to fast-track playing time.

New York leaned into its rookies, naming Dart and Abdul Carter captains for the night as vets watched from the sideline. Dart’s fourth drive flirted with a turnover, and a scramble on a 4th-and-4 at the Patriots’ 45 ended with a forced fumble that wasn’t charged due to a defensive hold. Jameis Winston’s entry produced a 27-yard strike to Hyatt, ending Dart’s night with 6-of-12 passing for 81 yards and a TD. Fantasy watchers should note the health hurdle for Dart, the blossoming chemistry with Hyatt and Dulcich, and the Giants’ growing depth at WR and TE as potential late-season contributors.

New York positioned for Week 1 with Russell Wilson as the likely Week 1 starter, surrounded by a tight battle for backups and roster spots as the Giants prune to 53 on August 26. The WR room shapes up with Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton leading the group alongside Wan'Dale Robinson, with Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins pushing for roles and return duties as Olszewski and Ihmir Smith-Marsette contend for the kick return job. The backfield features Tyrone Tracy Jr. as the lead with Devin Singletary, Cam Skattebo and Turbo Miller providing depth and special-teams value, while tight ends Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger and Thomas Fidone anchor the unit behind Greg Dulcich’s odd-man-out status. On the line, Thomas’ PUP status lingers, but the interior anchors and tackles like Runyan Jr., Schmitz, Van Roten and Eluemunor form a capable frontline.

Defensively, Dexter Lawrence and a retooled front combine with a high-motor edge group led by Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns, while Okereke and McFadden patrol inside with Muasau and Board backing them on the green dot. In the secondary, Cor'Dale Flott and Paulson Adebo pace a versatile corner set with Tre Hawkins III and Tae Banks working to stay healthy, and the safeties stabilize with Holland and Nubin ahead of Belton. Special teams remains unchanged with Gano, Gillan and Kreiter carrying the kicking, punting and long-snapping duties for a Giants squad that aims to hit Week 1 in balance and health.

New York Giants rolled up nearly 500 total yards in Week 2 of the preseason, 398 through the air, and flashed a broad pass-catching corps behind three QBs topping 100+ yards. Zach Pascal led the group with a 92.0 grade, while Jalin Hyatt’s pro-ready speed and Beaux Collins’ big-play ability stood out as the trio complemented Darius Slayton’s veteran presence. Tyrone Tracy Jr. supplied a productive rushing complement as the offense looked cohesive in a 31-12 win over the Jets.

The night also highlighted Giants depth at receiver and tight end, with Thomas Fidone showing in limited snaps and Jonathan Ward contributing as a functional backup back. On defense, the run-stopping hiccups persisted and the pass rush was tempered by limited opportunities, but the unit kept New York’s cross-town rivals to 12 points. In fantasy terms, Pascal’s breakout Grade zips him into solid WR3/4 consideration in standard/half-PPR, Hyatt’s speed offers weekly big-play upside, and Collins plus Fidone deepen the Giants’ late-round lottery ticket potential as rosters firm up ahead of regular-season rosters.

The Giants-Jets preseason showdown at MetLife Stadium shapes up as a roster audition with a clear fantasy tilt. Malik Nabers sits again, shifting opportunity to Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt, who will push for volume behind Nabers’ absence. Beaux Collins and Evan Neal are back in the mix for the Giants, while rookie Cam Skattebo remains on the sideline, limiting the rookie RBs’ upside. Russell Wilson is slated to start for New York before giving way to Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston, adding a quirky QB rotation to the night’s storyline.

For fantasy managers, the Nabers absence compresses Giants WRs’ upside but highlights Slayton and Hyatt as potential upside options in a game where backups absorb most snaps. Collins’ return adds a touch of rookie intrigue to the depth chart, and Neal’s reintroduction could stabilize protection and running lanes. The Jets provide a backdrop for reduced starter risk and a chance to gauge late-roster contributors who could become sleeper picks as rosters tighten in August.
