Wan'Dale Robinson - Leading receiver in Week 18 win Robinson caught five of six targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

Impact He led the Giants in receiving yards on the day while tying Darren Waller and Darius Slayton for the team lead in catches. The 85 yards were also a season high for Robinson. The second-year wideout began to establish a consistent role in the offense late in the season, posting a 24-260-0 line on 33 targets over New York's final five games, and better QB play in 2024 could allow Robinson to build on that performance.

Darius Slayton - Hauls in TD against Philly Slayton caught five of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

Impact The wideout tied Wan'Dale Robinson and Darren Waller for the team lead with five grabs each, but Slayton was the only Giants' receiver to get into the end zone, connecting with Tyrod Taylor on a 19-yard score late in the second quarter. Slayton tied his career high with 50 catches in 2023 and set a new personal best with 770 receiving yards, but the Giants could do a lot of housecleaning on the roster in the offseason, and it's not clear if the 26-year-old is part of their future plans.

Saquon Barkley - Finds end zone twice in Week 18 win Barkley carried the ball 18 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns and caught both his targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles.

Impact The running back led the charge in the upset win, scoring two-yard and three-yard TDs in the second quarter as the Giants raced out to a 24-0 lead before halftime. Barkley failed to reach 1,000 rushing yards on the season, finishing with 962 yards on 247 carries for a lackluster 3.9 YPC, but he ended the campaign on a high note with five rushing TDs in the last five games. The 26-year-old will be one of the more attractive free-agent options at his position this offseason.

Tyrod Taylor - Nearly reaches 300 yards in win Taylor completed 23 of 32 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles. He added 38 rushing yards on eight carries.

Impact The veteran quarterback might have topped 300 yards for the second straight game, but he briefly left late in the first quarter to get his thumb checked out, and Tommy DeVito completed a five-yard pass in his absence. Taylor, who has played for five teams over the last seven seasons alone, will be a free agent in the offseason and isn't likely to return to the Giants with DeVito and Daniel Jones (knee) on the depth chart, but the 34-year-old showed in 2023 he can still be effective and won't likely have much trouble landing elsewhere.

Tyrod Taylor - Back in Sunday's game Taylor (thumb) returned to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Taylor hit the sideline for a spell to have his thumb examined, but after backup Tommy DeVito got banged up, the former reentered the contest. He'll look to build upon the 72 yards on 4-for-6 passing and one seven-yard carry that he had accumulated prior to his departure.

Jacob Eason - Serving as QB3 Sunday Eason (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but will serve as the team's emergency quarterback, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Eason was signed to the Giants' active roster Saturday after joining the team's practice squad Thursday. He'll be padded up for New York's regular-season finale and will only see the field if Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito sustain injuries.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Tyree Jackson - Won't play Week 18 Jackson (coach's decision) is Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan reports.

Impact Jackson was signed to the Giants' active roster Saturday, but will not suit up for the team's regular-season finale. Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger will serve as the two tight ends for New York for Week 18.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Deonte Banks - Officially out Banks (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Banks was deemed doubtful prior to the game. With the Giants being out of playoff contention, this news means his season is over. In his absence, Nick McCloud and Tre Hawkins are candidates to replace him at cornerback opposite Adoree' Jackson.

In his third year in the NFL, Pinnock registered career highs with 85 tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, six passes defended and two interceptions while adding two forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown over 16 games.

'Bear Bets': The Group Chat's favorite NFL Week 18 bets, plus Cowboys-Commanders

The Group Chat reconvened this week to share its thoughts on the Week 18 slate of games, including a few division-deciding matchups.

JANUARY 6

Deonte Banks - Likely missing Week 18 Banks (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Despite a week of limited practice sessions, Banks is expected to miss his second consecutive game in Week 18 as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury. Tre Hawkins and Nick McCloud would likely see more work in the Giants' secondary if Banks doesn't suit up Sunday.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Tyrod Taylor - Cleared to face Eagles Taylor (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Coach Brian Daboll never seemed worried about Taylor's back injury, naming the 34-year-old as his Week 18 starting quarterback Wednesday. Taylor led a second-half rally against the Eagles in Week 16, ultimately falling short in a 33-25 loss after replacing Tommy DeVito at halftime. The rematch may be impacted by snow, and there's also some chance the Eagles rest key players or remove some guys early.
