WR Jalin Hyatt, NYG (1 Viewer)

The Athletic’s Charlotte Carroll says Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has been a standout performer early in training camp.

As Carroll notes, Hyatt’s speed “is just impressive to watch up close,” which has been evident through training camp clips posted to social media by the team and fans. Hyatt has flashed early in training camp and has already received multiple reps with the first-team offense. Hyatt is one of several slot receivers on the Giants’ roster but has been working to expand his route tree and ability to work out the outside. Continued strong performances in training camp could earn the rookie significant snaps early in the season.

Giants WR Jalin Hyatt caught 4-of-5 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday’s preseason game vs the Panthers.

Hyatt made up for a slow start, scoring the 33-yard TD after dropping a pass. The preseason standout has been slowly working his way in to the first-team offense in practices. Already the Giants’ top deep threat, Hyatt’s strong preseason has him in the mix for a starting role.

He's a Desean Jackson clone. Love this dude's tape. Saw concerns about a limited route tree.

Dude doesn't need to run anything but go routes, he has game breaking speed and acceleration. Move him around at the LOS like the Chiefs did with Tyreek.


Put dude in motion and defenses HAVE to react. Not just a track star, dude is a football player.
 
I like that Tyrod Taylor went right back to him after the drop the play before, he lofted it up a bit but it was deep enough Hyatt slowed down a little and still beat his man by 3 yards. Just great recognition and a great job of getting him the ball back to him.

And actually his route running has been said to be a plus in camp. I don’t expect huge numbers because I don’t expect it to be a great passing attack and I can see a few guys getting targets - but I think he’ll show something as a rookie and have a couple of 40-60 yard TDs.
 
Giants offense will be better and this kid will play like a first rounder. Giants get a stud in the 3rd. I know it was one game, but how can anyone discount what he did vs Bama last year. That was an incredible performance.

Shepard, Slayton, Hodgins, and Paris Campbell are his competition. He will be on the field often.

It will be interesting to see if he can’t run the complete route tree or was that simply something he wasn’t asked to do at Tennessee because of the offense.
Either way his speed on the field should help open up things underneath for Waller and maybe take the safety out of the box and help Saquon.

NorthJersey.com’s Art Stapleton reports Giants coaches are pleased with Jalin Hyatt’s development this summer.

Hyatt, who has five preseason receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown, was practicing with the third-team offense as recently as July. The speedy wideout out of Tennessee has impressed Giants coaches during training camp as he steadily moves up the team’s receiver depth chart. Giants coaches, including Brian Daboll, “believed his elite speed — not just vertically, but his short area quickness — would eventually take the top off defenses and put cornerbacks on their heels.” The rookie might take a while to see a full complement of pass routes in the New York offense, but the lack of an alpha wideout in the offense could create a vacuum filled by an explosive pass catcher like Hyatt. He’s an interesting if volatile late-round option in redraft formats.

If nothing else he keeps the defense honest so they can't stack up against Barkley and Waller, but definitely worth a buck or a last round flyer to see what he can do.
 
He cooked Sauce a little bit during that preseason game. If we were high on Toney or Wandale in this offense, I think we should be high on this guy. Sounds like he has been impressing in camp and looked good in the preseason.
 
Jalin Hyatt played on 57-of-77 snaps in the Giants’ Week 6 loss to the Bills.

Hyatt’s snaps continue to increase, even if the production remains underwhelming. The rookie receiver caught just three passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bills, but posted a career-high in snaps in the defeat. As an explosive field stretcher, Hyatt will be somewhat limited by an offensive line that can’t hold blocks long enough for plays to develop. However, the increased snaps are encouraging, and could eventually lead to meaningful fantasy production.

Seems like playing time and usage will go up from here based on last game and comments from coach! Im pretty high on him and think he will be their #1 before seasons end.
 
What Rubi said above is true - that abysmal O-Line inhibits either Jones/Taylor from having enough time to make comprehensive reads, let patterns develop and have time to heave accurate deep balls.

Big fan of both Robinson and Hyatt, but I don't think either of them will be consistent enough to rely on this year. Have to pick and choose one's spots.

This weekend's matchup with vs the 'skins defensive line is definitely not a Hyatt spot, IMHO.

Weather looks iffy too. Could be an ugly game.

Could see W'Dale getting a lot of short cheap PPR points though.
 
For some reason The Giants have taken their last few top receiver picks and "brought them along slowly".
This kid is really good. Throw him into the fire and let him learn.
The last receiver The Giants did that with was OBJ. He was pretty good.
Detroit started St.Brown right away.
LA started Puka right away.
Just plug him in as the number one receiver and let him learn.
My guess is he produces.
 
If he comes down with that one handed catch last week (it was close), this guy would have been one of the highest dollar FABB pickups the entire season. He didn't, but I still like what I've seen. When looking for league winners on the WW, look at ceiling, look at usage patterns and trust your eyes. Stats aren't always going to tell the whole story. Hyatt just looks like he belongs, like he has what it takes to become something special in the NFL. He has is issues, yes, but many draft analysts had him as the top prospect in this year's class. He has enough issues that some also ranked him quite low. None of his issues are unfixable. I was undecided around the draft and into the season, but what I've seen regular season leads me to believe he has what it takes.

100% agree. I prioritized Pops Douglas on the wire this week for bye week plugs. But also should have dumped Dotson for Hyatt for the higher upside on the back end
 
I think the patience level of the community has become an epidemic. We would preach the 3rd year breakout for wide receivers just a few years ago. I was very high on Hyatt. We all hit and miss on prospects and I'm okay with missing on Hyatt if that happens but he has an elite trait and in my opinion, has enough tools to develop. The Giants are an offense in limbo and transition—patience, patience, and then some more patience. I took him a bit high in a contract keeper league and I'm vested at least 3 years with a one-year option. Time will tell but I feel good about him as much now as when I drafted him.

Well done, I would explore trading all of them in the very near future.

One of these guys is not like the others. Hyatt has size the others don't. He's definitely a guy you let develop a little. He's already now running with a consistent rotation on the outside. I'd actually preach patience with him. His value will go up by the end of the year.

Yeah, on 2nd thought, I do agree he has room to grow in value. So does Zay. I guess I should say when I meant explore trading them, I meant in the next 9ish months, not immediately.
 
Tempted to take a flier on him, but like W. Robinson, he'll probably be a guy I pick up and then drop again next week.

Since the Cruz, Nicks, Manningham era (Cruz was the last to eclipse 1,000 yds in 2012)...only OBJ has had 1,000+yds in a season for the G-men.

Ashame Nicks career got cut short by leg/ankle issues. Hard to believe he is only 35 years old right now.
 
I am giving up on Hyatt in my dynasty league, rather get a handcuff RB or WR who sees the field a little bit, and some because he is on the Giants, probably looking at 2025 before the might have a competent QB. But anyway, go out and grab him, cause he will explode once he is off my roster.
 
Jalin Hyatt was removed from the Giants’ Week 11 injury report and will play against the Commanders.

Hyatt cleared concussion protocol and will be ready to go for Week 11 against the Commanders. The rookie receiver has gotten off to a slow start in his profession career, catching 11 passes for 214 scoreless yards. Things will be much tougher for Hyatt in his return, as he’ll now be tasked with catching passes from Tommy DeVito, who has struggled to move the ball in limited action thus far. Hyatt isn’t on the Week 11 fantasy radar.

Did you see the Giants are commonly predicted to win two or less games the rest of the way?
I would call plays suited for him like twenty times a game.
I would totally push any development needed.

I'd sit Saquan with the slightest hangnail too.

This ball control Devito can't pass eh we'll have him chuck a few offense stinks. Do something towards next year before doing more of that stuff.

Agree 100%. Feel like he needs to show something the rest of the way - even with DeVito - to avoid the team marginalizing him next year with a big name FA or another high draft pick - which they may do anyway

Yeah those pesky giants are always bringing in big name wr talent

They’ve brought in 30 middling guys with little success, maybe they finally go big game hunting.

oh they've gone big game hunting - $72M ($40M GTD) ain't small potatoes

thankfully that Dead Cap hit of $14.7M will be off the books after this year

he who shall not be named
 
NFL Rookie Watch
Jalin Hyatt now has more 100-yard receiving games than Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Quentin Johnston, and Zay Flowers COMBINED.

Njigba was the 1st WR taken, Quentin Johnston the 2nd taken, and Flowers the 3rd taken.

Hyatt had to wait 73 picks to hear his name called.

Hyatt today against the Patriots:

• 6 targets
• 5 receptions
• 109 receiving yards

Just imagine what Hyatt would look like with a Top-10 QB

He's looking better. Definitely more comfortable.
I didn't get to see Tillman today.
They both look pretty raw at times.
Hooker threw more than just deep passes at Tennessee but it often doesn't look like it with those two.
