Minimal action in preseason opener
Hyatt caught his only target for no gain in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.
Analysis: Hyatt's lone target came from Drew Lock (hip) on the opening drive. Rookie sixth overall pick Malik Nabers wasn't targeted at all on his 12 snaps in the game, so neither of the young speedsters made much of an impact Thursday. Hyatt's coming off a 373-yard rookie season, and the 2023 third-round draft pick is trying to carve out a larger role in 2024. The Giants' second preseason game will be next Saturday in Houston.

Getting regular first-team work
Hyatt has been getting more first-team reps than Darius Slayton (undisclosed) during training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: This seems to at least partially be a product of Slayton managing a minor injury, but it's nonetheless a nice opportunity for Hyatt on the heels of a disappointing rookie season. The 2023 third-round pick caught 23 of 40 targets for 373 yards in 17 regular-season games last year, averaging 16.2 yards per catch while drawing a target on just 10.6 percent of routes. He'll need to draw targets at a much higher rate to achieve mainstream fantasy relevance, which could be a challenge if fellow WRs…read more

Bumps down depth chart
Hyatt is expected to be the Giants' top backup wide receiver in 2024 following the team's selection of Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick in last week's draft, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hyatt injured his hamstring in the season finale against the Eagles, but he's presumably made a full recovery by now. He's coming off a rookie season in which he secured 23 of 40 targets for 373 scoreless yards over 17 games. He averaged a strong 16.2 yards per catch, but the number of catchable passes thrown his way were few and far between as a downfield threat. Darius Slayton is expected to open the season as a starter opposite Nabers, with Wan'Dale Robinson in the slot. The Giants would…read more

Injures hamstring Sunday
Hyatt (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Hyatt sustained a hamstring injury on a five-yard catch in the first half and will not return to Sunday's contest. He will finish his rookie season with 23 catches for 373 yards over 17 games.

Tallies 25 receiving yards Week 17
Hyatt caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Analysis: After being shut out each of the past two weeks, Hyatt bounced back to some extent with his highest receiving yardage total since he exploded for 109 yards against New England in Week 12. It was still a modest performance for the rookie wideout, as he tied for fifth on the team in catches and ranked fifth in receiving yards. Hyatt will have a chance to put a positive final spin on his first NFL campaign next week in a home matchup against the Eagles.

Shut out in Week 16 loss
Hyatt was not targeted in the passing game in the Giants' loss to Philadelphia on Monday.
Analysis: Hyatt logged 35 offensive snaps -- 56 percent of the team's total -- Monday, third-highest among Giants receivers. However, he didn't see the ball come his way a single time, marking the fourth time this season that he's failed to draw any targets. It was also the second straight week without a catch for the rookie, and he's accumulated just two catches for 13 yards over his past three games after flashing his potential with a five-catch, 109-yard effort against the Patriots in Week 12.

First 100-yard game of NFL career
Hyatt caught five of six targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Hyatt got free downfield for catches of 29 and 41 yards en route to a career high in receiving yards. Fellow deep threat Darius Slayton (neck) was active after being doubtful heading into Sunday's game but was limited to 16 yards on three targets while Hyatt capitalized on his increased role with the best game of his rookie season. The Giants' third-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft (73rd overall) will look to build on this promising performance in Week 14 against the Packers following a…read more

Good to go vs. Commanders
Hyatt has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Hyatt was placed in the concussion protocol after this past Sunday's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys, but he has recovered in time to face the Commanders in Week 11. The rookie wide receiver has a pair of catches over 40 yards among his 11 receptions this season, but Hyatt will be catching passes from third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito on Sunday.

Progressing through concussion protocol
Hyatt (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Hyatt suffered a concussion this past Sunday at Dallas, and after kicking off Week 11 prep with no on-field work Wednesday, he made noticeable progress one day later by putting in some work. Still, he likely has multiple steps to take in his quest through the protocol for head injuries, the last of which will be gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. Hyatt will need to do so by Saturday in order to be available Sunday in Washington.

Misses practice Wednesday
Hyatt (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hyatt entered the concussion protocol in the second half of Sunday's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys, making his status for Week 11 against the Commanders uncertain. The rookie third-round pick will need to clear the five-step protocol before being allowed to resume game action.

Won't return Sunday
Hyatt won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to a concussion, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Hyatt went to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's matchup and will be unavailable down the stretch due to his concussion. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for next Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Posts another quiet effort
Hyatt finished Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Raiders with two catches on five targets for 19 yards.
Analysis: Hyatt's five targets tied for second on the team, but those opportunities yielded limited production. The rookie speedster did at least manage to turn things around a bit after he failed to garner a target at all last week against the Jets, but Hyatt's role and performance continue to be volatile. He has failed to register a catch in four contests this season, but Hyatt also posted an 89-yard effort in Week 2 against Arizona and a 75-yard performance in Week 7 against Washington.

Big-play threat in Sunday's win
Hyatt caught two of five targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: The rookie caught passes of 33 and 42 yards while flashing the speed that caused the Giants to trade up in this year's draft to select him in the third round. Hyatt doesn't offer much more than the ability to stretch the field at this stage of his career, but four of his first nine NFL receptions have gone for 30 yards or more. Regardless of whether Daniel Jones (neck) or Tyrod Taylor is under center in Week 8, Hyatt could have a hard time making an impact against a stingy Jets secondary.

Sees more work with minor impact
Hyatt caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Hyatt played on 73 percent of New York's offensive snaps, the highest mark of his career thus far. His three catches also were a campaign high, though he was able to turn the receptions into only 21 yards. The rookie looked like he could emerge as the Giants' much-needed deep threat when he caught two passes for 89 yards Week 2 against Arizona, but his other five receptions this season have gone for just 31 combined yards. While the increased snap count Sunday is an encouraging sign for his…read more

Quiet again Week 4
Hyatt caught both of his targets for 10 yards Monday in a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Hyatt was again mostly a nonfactor in the passing game, as his only two catches went for three and seven yards, respectively. If there's a positive takeaway for fantasy managers who roster the rookie wideout, it's that he tallied a season-high 27 offensive snaps, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, and was on the field more than fellow wideout Isaiah Hodgins for the first time this season. Hyatt flashed his big-play potential when he racked up 89 yards on two receptions in New York's only win so far…read more

Gets no targets in Thursday's loss
Hyatt didn't receive any targets against the 49ers in a Week 3 loss Thursday.
Analysis: Hyatt provided a boost to the Giants' passing game with two catches for 89 yards against Arizona in Week 2, but he didn't see a single ball thrown his way against San Francisco. This was the second time the rookie speedster has been shut out in receptions through three games this season, and he's yet to be on the field for more than 22 offensive snaps in any contest. With that context in mind, Hyatt isn't a reliable option in fantasy at this point in the campaign.

Leading receiver against Cards
Hyatt caught both his targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The rookie flashed his big-play ability as he led the Giants in receiving yards, hauling in a 58-yard reception on the team's first play of the second half to kick-start a comeback from a 20-0 deficit. Hyatt failed to catch his only target in his NFL debut last week, and while he may not see big volume as part of a crowded wideout depth chart, his ability to get deep figures to be a key element of the New York passing game this season. Up next Thursday night is a Week 3 clash with a 49ers…read more

Invisible in NFL debut
Hyatt didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's Week 1 40-0 blowout loss against the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Giants drafted Hyatt in the third round of this year's draft to provide a boost to their passing game, but the team's offense struggled as a whole against Dallas' stifling defense Sunday. Hyatt was on the field for just 25 of New York's 70 offensive snaps, fourth-most among wideouts on the team behind Darius Slayton (47 snaps), Parris Campbell (47) and Isaiah Hodgins (42). It's uncertain where Hyatt stands in the pecking order, but he may struggle to produce if he's on the field less than…read more

Quiet in preseason finale
Hyatt failed to catch his lone target in Saturday's preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday.
Analysis: Hyatt put together a strong showing against the Panthers last week (4-35-1), but he failed to get involved in the Giants' final tune-up game. The rookie wideout brings tremendous speed as a slot receiver, but he may find it hard to earn snaps ahead of veteran starters Isaiah Hodgins and Darius Slayton out of the gate. Assuming he makes the final roster, Hyatt should provide depth for the Giants ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys on Sept. 10.

Gets into end zone Friday
Hyatt caught four of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason win over the Panthers.
Analysis: After a quiet preseason debut last week, the 2023 third-round pick flashed his big-play potential with a 33-yard TD reception from Tyrod Taylor in the second quarter, as Hyatt broke free of veteran cornerback Eric Rowe to get wide open in the end zone. Hyatt is in a dogfight for snaps and targets in a crowded Giants receiver room, but if he keeps making an impact, his presence could encourage starting QB Daniel Jones and coach Brian Daboll to open up the playbook and attack downfield more often…read more

Forgettable NFL debut
Hyatt caught his only target for minus-4 yards in Friday's 21-16 preseason loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Hyatt was tackled well behind the line of scrimmage on his only touch in his NFL debut. The rookie third-round pick out of Tennessee has reportedly been impressing with his speed in practice while mixing in with the starters. Perhaps Hyatt's playmaking ability will shine through more in New York's second preseason game against the Panthers.

Fine after overheating Wednesday
Hyatt is returning to practice Thursday after exiting early Wednesday due to heat exhaustion, John Fennelly of Giants Wire reports.
Analysis: He's far from the first rookie to struggle with heat and resulting fatigue during his first NFL training camp. The third-round pick still has a wide range of playing-time outcomes for his debut campaign, as the Giants' WR room offers quantity more so than quality, with up to seven or eight players potentially in the mix for top-three roles. Hyatt will probably come off the bench Week 1 but still has plenty of time to make an impression before then.

Leaves practice early
Hyatt walked off the field with trainers Wednesday after sustaining an apparent injury during 7-on-7 drills, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: The Giants have yet to shed light on the nature or severity of Hyatt's injury. The rookie third-round pick is staring down the opportunity to compete for a significant role on offense alongside Darius Slayton or Isaiah Hodgins, but he'll first need to impress over the course of training camp and the preseason.

Healthy for spring practices
Hyatt (hamstring) did some drills at rookie minicamp but didn't participate in 7-on-7s, Paul Schwartz of the NY Post reports.
Analysis: Hyatt hurt his hamstring at the NFL Combine, but only after running a 4.40 40 time and posting a 133-inch broad jump and 40-inch vertical. The rookie third-round pick reportedly is working on gaining weight after checking in at only 176 pounds at the combine, recently noting that he's up to 180 and wants to play at about 190. Hyatt should be cleared for training camp, if not spring practices, and he could challenge Darius Slayton or Isaiah Hodgins for perimeter snaps early on.
