Whereas Malik Nabers is the unquestionable headliner for the New York Giants offense this season, the remainder of the huge receiver corps has gotten off to a quiet begin.
By means of two video games, Nabers has 15 catches for 193 yards and one landing. Just one different Giants wideout has discovered the tip zone, as Wan’Dale Robinson (eight catches, 62 yards, one rating) did so in Week 2.
After Nabers and Robinson, Darius Slayton checks in at No. 3 within the Giants’ passing sport, with six catches for 59 yards. Nonetheless, one identify that is lacking from the early-season stats is second-year pass-catcher Jalin Hyatt. The previous third-round choose in 2023 has seen only one goal thus far this season, and ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported Hyatt mentioned throughout apply that if the Giants weren’t going to make use of him, they need to commerce him.
However following Hyatt’s almost silent begin to the yr, he is denying ever having mentioned the Giants buying and selling him, because the AP’s Tom Canavan reported.
“I didn’t say that. I don’t know the place that got here from, however that’s false,” Hyatt mentioned. “I like being right here. Joe (Schoen), (Brian Daboll), I acquired a lot respect for buying and selling up for me and getting me. So, no matter that rumor was, it’s not true in any respect.”
No matter frustration Hyatt is feeling is comprehensible. The 22-year-old confirmed glimpses of reliable upside throughout his rookie season, ending with 23 catches for 373 yards. Nonetheless, after enjoying only 16 offensive snaps (23%) in Week 1, the arrow is pointing within the incorrect path, as he was on the sphere for 12 snaps in Week 2 (21%).
For comparability’s sake, Slayton performed 72 and 88% of the snaps within the two weeks, whereas Robinson logged 68 and 63%. Hyatt has clearly fallen behind the trio of Nabers, Slayton and Robinson, and as issues stand, the probabilities of him seeing an expanded workload seem impossible. However with the Giants sitting at 0-2 at present and the passing sport averaging simply 170.5 yards per sport, Huge Blue wants an injection of life by way of the air.
Perhaps Hyatt can present a much-needed spark, but when the early snap counts are any indication, the Giants appear to know which wideouts they need on the sphere, and Hyatt is the odd man out.
