RB Miles Sanders ruled out for Sunday's game in WashingtonHead Coach Nick Sirianni said Sanders will not go on Injured Reserve.
Kyle Rudolph - Held catchless in lossRudolph failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.
ImpactRudolph played on just 17 of the Giants' 76 offensive snaps Sunday and was a complete non-factor in the loss. The veteran tight end is having a quiet year, and this is likely to continue with limited opportunities and shaky quarterback play going forward. Rudolph remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Bears.

Jordan Howard - Could play Week 17Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Howard (neck) could play Sunday in Washington, depending on how quickly the running back recovers from the stinger he suffered in the Week 16 v...
ImpactBefore departing with the injury, Howard carried nine times for 37 yards and reeled in two of four targets for 19 yards. If he demonstrates enough progress in recovery over the next few days, Howard could find himself as the Eagles' lead ball carrier against the Football Team, as Sirianni has already ruled out No. 1 back Miles Sanders (hand) for Week 17. Beyond Howard, Boston Scott and rookie Kenneth Gainwell loom as challengers to poach snaps at running back, while mobile quarterback Jalen Hurts is always a threat to pilfer red-zone carries.

Elijhaa Penny - Minimal involvement in lossPenny recorded one rush for two yards while catching all four of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.
ImpactPenny, like the rest of the Giants' offense, couldn't find much success against a tough Eagles defense. His four catches in the passing game qualified as a team high, but the veteran's production was insignificant at best. As the team's fullback on a struggling offense, there just isn't enough opportunity for Penny to sustain any sort fantasy relevance.

Miles Sanders - Out Week 17, should avoid IREagles head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed Sanders suffered a broken hand in Sunday's win over the Giants and will be sidelined Week 17 against Washington, but the running back is e...
ImpactThe Philadelphia training staff will likely hold Sanders out of practices during the upcoming week and wait and see how his hand heals over the next several days before reassessing his condition ahead of the Jan. 9 regular-season finale against the Cowboys. If Sanders is cleared to return for Week 18 or during the first round of the postseason (should the Eagles secure a playoff spot), he may need to wear some form of protection on his fractured hand. Sirianni added that Jordan Howard (neck), who suffered a stinger in Week 16, could be ready to go for the game in Washington, in which case he and Boston Scott would likely split most of the carries out of the Philadelphia backfield. Rookie Kenneth Gainwell remains on hand as a change-of-pace option.

Darius Slayton - Catches one pass in lossSlayton caught one of five targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.
ImpactSlayton's struggles continued Sunday despite playing on 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The Giants offense is downright horrible at the moment, tanking the fantasy value of all New York skill position players. Slayton will look to get back on track against the Bears in Week 17, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere.
