Gunner Olszewski Rejoins Giants on Surprising One-Year Deal

The New York Giants have re-signed wide receiver and special teams standout Gunner Olszewski to a one-year contract, according to a source who spoke with ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Thursday. Olszewski, 29, primarily serves as a punt and kickoff returner, and although his role on offense is limited, he set personal bests in the 2025 season with 10 receptions on 13 targets, totaling 145 yards and scoring one touchdown in 16 games. On special teams, he returned 26 kickoffs for 682 yards and 24 punts for 216 yards, demonstrating his continued value in the return game.

Originally an undrafted free agent from Bemidji State, Olszewski has accumulated 25 receptions for 325 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets across 81 regular-season games, including five starts. Despite his impact on special teams, analysts predict that he is unlikely to contribute significantly on offense for the Giants in 2026, making him a low-priority option for fantasy football managers.

Recent Moves and Contract Updates Among Giants Players

Devin Singletary’s Contract Restructured to Stay With Giants

Running back Devin Singletary has agreed to restructure his contract with the Giants for the upcoming season, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Singletary, 28, has recorded 1,144 scrimmage yards and nine total touchdowns over two seasons with New York. However, his position on the depth chart is becoming precarious behind Cam Skattebo, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Giants are also reportedly exploring options to add running backs in free agency, which could further diminish Singletary’s role.

In the 2025 season, Singletary carried the ball 119 times for 437 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games, but his receiving numbers declined to a career-low 18 receptions for 151 yards without touchdowns. Unless injuries impact others ahead of him, Singletary is expected to have limited fantasy value in redraft leagues for 2026.

Tennessee Titans Eye Giants’ Wan’Dale Robinson as Free Agent Target

The Tennessee Titans have expressed interest in wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent, as reported by Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. The Titans, with more than $90 million in salary cap space, are seeking offensive weapons to support quarterback Cameron Ward in his second year. Robinson had a breakout season in 2025, amassing 1,014 receiving yards. A reunion with former Giants head coach Brian Daboll, now Tennessee’s offensive coordinator, could be in the cards.

Robinson, 25, is a Kentucky native and former second-round pick in 2022, who has surpassed 90 receptions in each of the last two seasons. His potential move to Tennessee adds uncertainty to his role and fantasy production, as he would compete with several young receivers in the Titans’ offense.

Robinson’s Future With Giants Remains Uncertain Amid Strong Market Interest

New York Giants insider Connor Hughes of SNY indicates that retaining Wan’Dale Robinson might be the greatest challenge for the team this offseason. Sources revealed to Hughes that Robinson is

“more likely to play elsewhere than return to New York,”

reflecting significant external interest, particularly from the Tennessee Titans. Robinson’s impressive performance in 2025 included 92 receptions on 140 targets for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns over 16 games.

“could be the most difficult to retain.”

Though Robinson’s profile continues to rise, a move away from New York could affect his fantasy value as he adjusts to a new system and competition for targets.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Faces Challenges in Crowded Backfield

Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. may find his 2026 role limited, with the Giants expecting Cam Skattebo to recover fully from his ankle injury by the start of the season. Additional acquisitions in free agency or the draft could further reduce Tracy’s opportunities. Although he showed promise late in 2025 with increased snap counts and two RB1 fantasy performances—including a career-high 24.7 PPR points during the fantasy playoffs—his sophomore year as a whole failed to match his rookie impact.

Tracy’s development is closely tied to his place on the depth chart; a diminished role would hurt his appeal in dynasty leagues despite his demonstrated ability as a lead back during parts of last season.

Cam Skattebo’s Return Raises Questions About Running Back Hierarchy

Rookie Cam Skattebo impressed during his abbreviated 2025 campaign, totaling 617 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns in just eight games before a season-ending ankle injury. He is anticipated to return healthy for the 2026 season, but concerns remain about his long-term durability due to his physical running style.

Complicating his outlook are reports that the Giants may target running back Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame with the fifth overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Should Love or another back join the roster, the competition for carries will intensify. Skattebo’s fantasy value depends heavily on his ability to secure a high volume of touches as both a ball carrier and receiver.

Malik Nabers’ Recovery Gives Giants Hope at Wide Receiver

The Giants are optimistic that wide receiver Malik Nabers will be ready for training camp after undergoing surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus in late October. General manager Joe Schoen expressed confidence in Nabers’ rehab progress, stating,

“I’ve been texting with him the last couple of days, and he’s in a good spot, he feels good, and the plan is hopefully for him to still be ready for training camp,”

The 22-year-old former first-round pick was a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2024, recording 109 receptions for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns over 15 games. If fully healthy, Nabers could reclaim his role as a WR1 in the Giants’ offense, especially with quarterback Jaxson Dart set to lead the team forward.

Jaxson Dart’s Development Under New Offensive Coordinator Matt Nagy

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer highlights the potential benefits of Matt Nagy’s appointment as offensive coordinator for the Giants, citing Nagy’s successful work with quarterback Alex Smith in Kansas City as a positive indicator for Jaxson Dart’s growth. Breer explains,

“All the movement stuff the Chiefs were doing that year, in theory, should apply organically to Dart’s physical skill set.”

Despite some struggles in 2025, the Chiefs ranked 10th in offensive success rate and expected points added per play during Nagy’s three seasons there. Dart finished his rookie year as the QB14 in fantasy, passing for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns with five interceptions, while rushing for 487 yards and nine additional touchdowns. With strong playmakers surrounding him in the backfield and at receiver, Dart’s ceiling appears high, provided that his aggressive style does not lead to injuries.

Devin Singletary’s Role May Diminish Amid Backfield Competition

While Devin Singletary played all 17 games for the Giants in 2025, his production lagged behind that of Tyrone Tracy Jr. and rookie Cam Skattebo, who also showed greater efficiency. Entering the last year of his contract, Singletary could be at risk of being cut if Skattebo returns fully healthy.

If retained, Singletary’s role may shrink to a third-down or backup back, especially given the Giants’ new head coach John Harbaugh’s history of relying heavily on a primary workhorse back, exemplified by Derrick Henry’s role in Baltimore. Singletary’s fantasy value is expected to suffer if he remains buried behind more versatile backs.

Darius Slayton Likely to Remain Third-String Receiver in 2026

Wide receiver Darius Slayton continues to struggle establishing consistency despite flashes of talent throughout his NFL career. His position in the Giants’ depth chart is unlikely to improve as Malik Nabers is expected to return healthy, pushing Slayton back to the No. 3 receiver spot behind Wan’Dale Robinson and Nabers.

Slayton managed 37 receptions for 538 yards and one touchdown in 2025 after moving up to the No. 2 receiver during Nabers’ absence. The presence of tight end Theo Johnson and running back Cam Skattebo further limits his share of targets. Unless a teammate suffers injury, Slayton’s fantasy relevance remains minimal, and he should generally be avoided in standard redraft leagues or stashed only in deep dynasty formats.

Tennessee Titans Consider Adding Wan’Dale Robinson Alongside Calvin Ridley

ESPN’s Turron Davenport reports that the Tennessee Titans may retain veteran receiver Calvin Ridley while pursuing free agent Wan’Dale Robinson to complement Ridley in the slot. Under previous Giants offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Robinson thrived on high target volume, catching 93 passes in 2024 and maintaining strong production before Daboll’s midseason firing in 2025.

With over $100 million in salary cap room, the Titans could prioritize adding receivers like Robinson to bolster quarterback Cameron Ward’s supporting cast. Although Robinson’s back-to-back 90-plus catch seasons showcase his reliability, relocating to Tennessee might introduce challenges for maintaining his PPR league dominance.
