Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began. Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss time with a hamstring injury suffered Thursday night, which means rookie Chuba Hubbard will be added everywhere by frustrated C-Mac stakeholders or sniped by others looking to spite their league mates. […]

Offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson worked out for the New York Giants on Tuesday. Wilson was a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2020, but he only played in one game due to numerous off-the-field incidents.

Kadarius Toney Dazzled In Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney dazzled in practice and will "see more snaps" in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. Though the pick was heavily criticized, the Giants clearly saw something when they selected the former Florida Gator with the No. 20 overall pick. Now, the rookie is on the receiving end of […]

Devontae Booker Surprise Inactive

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker will be inactive for the Giants' game against the Atlanta Falcons.
