WR Kadarius Toney (2 Viewers)

Yeah, I'm still grappling with maybe playing it safe and put in Henry (TE) as my flex vs Toney; have Pitts in as TE.

I'm projected to lose this week, but its close.  But man I'd rather play Toney and see him go off!

yeah I think it really comes down to acceptable floors. His ceiling is as high as any. If you need a 6 point floor to win because it’s tight and a zero will cause you to loose then don’t blame anyone for passing. If people can afford to risk the zero because they are either desperate or are safe enough at other positions to take the gamble and are aiming for weekly high point scorer then toneys your guy.

 
Huge underdog this week so I think I need to swing for the fences on this one.  It's Toney and then my backup flex is...Evan Engram.

 
The fantasy doctor just said yes it’s a risk but he thinks Toney plays and get 12-15 targets, nice thing to hear but I guess we will see.

 
Had him in one. Traded Julio and Collins for him in a full ppr league right now. Starting him in both leagues but I have slayton or hardman in case he can't go.

 
ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports Kadarius Toney (ankle) has "one last checkpoint to clear" but is expected to play Monday night against the Chiefs. 

Assuming Toney clears that final checkpoint before kickoff against Kansas City, he remains a risky fantasy option two weeks after he suffered an in-game aggravation of his long-standing ankle issue. Toney's upside against KC's nonexistent pass coverage is tremendous -- enough to make him worth the risk of starting on Monday night. He had become the Giants' No. 1 receiver before the ankle injury, commanding a total of 22 targets in Weeks 4 and 5.

Maybe they are easing him in with the ankle, but his lack of usage after what he put on tape a few weeks ago is coaching malpractice by The Clapper. Can’t really say I’m surprised though.

 
I mean everyone thought he was going to go off tonight. Which probably means we should have sat him. How bout this… let’s all say he’s done and garbage so he goes off second half?

 
Kadarius Toney caught 4-of-5 targets for 26 yards in the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Chiefs.

After essentially missing the last two games with an ankle injury, Toney was active for this one. The Giants appeared to have him on a bit of a snap count in the first half, but Sterling Shepard's (quad) injury forced Toney to play more after the break. He ended up hurting his left thumb early in the fourth quarter and had to go to the locker room but quickly returned to finish the game. If Shepard is forced to miss time, Toney will have to play heavy snaps alongside Kenny Golladay when he returns. The Giants get the Raiders in Week 9.

That may be but my league gives very few points for decoy routes run. I have to decide if he is even worth keeping on my bench.

My league doesn't give points for decoy routes either. Fortunately I don't think that is goingto last more than this one game. He looked fine as far as the ankle goes and he will get healthier.

Fortunately my league doesn't deduct points for having a bad punk vibe. We actually get 75 bonus points forthe first occurrence and then an additional 25 for each occurence after that.

 
I don't understand why Jones didn't work harder to get him the ball. When he did, he was shifty and difficult to deal with. I'm IN.

I mean, the kid sucks and he'll never amount to anything so drop him because next week is going to be a disaster. (is that how it's done?)

 
Last night's plan for Toney was the ultimate brainchild of a team like the New York Giants.  Let's "protect" Toney by having him run only short routes to the sideline...where he inevitably gets gang tackled repeatedly due to the concentration of defenders near the line of scrimmage.

On the other hand, the ankle was healthy enough to return punts...

Seriously, it was odd. The kid is electric and could help stretch the field..........so...........you and Shepherd run 2 yard routes when we need 3 for a first down.

My thoughts exactly.   And the punt return tackle with penalty could have been worse for him.   Glad he got out alive🙃

 
The game plan was terrible last night other than success they showed at times running the ball with Booker. Pass rush led to bad decisions all night and rushed throws. Not going to overreact from this game. Expected a shootout and didn’t get it on either side. Just glad the hand injury wasn’t serious 

 
For me, the Shepherd injury is key. It looked like Toney was lost in a rotation playing outside before that. When Shepherd exited, it looked like he played inside much more and had more opportunity. I think he fits best in the slot, so if Shepherd is active I don't think I'd start Toney as of now. With the slot to himself, Toney is a viable play IMO...

I feel like last night's game is a wash for me in evaluating.  It certainly seemed like they were intentionally not having Toney run any downfield routes to protect the ankle.  Now I'm not saying that's logical, but that was my takeaway.

If within a fully healthy receiver corps the Giants' plan is to have Toney run two-yard out routes, well I guess we'll all just have to collectively slap our foreheads.

 
Danny Dimes seemed to be frazzled and jittery as the game went on. They got pressure on him and he didn't have the time to get downfield. Ergo, Toney didn't get downfield.

You have to get on the field first

It looked like his snap count was on the low side..

It does feel like he is gonna have something "going on" quite often...what scares me about something like this is it means his inner-circle is either inept or a bunch of yes men because there is no way they should be letting him on social media if he has the potential to post nonsense like this...talent-wise this kid looks like he could be something very special...it is always impressive when someone looks more athletic then other pro athletes and this kid stands out...I own him on both my Dynasty teams and feel like he has Tyreek Hill potential but like Hill it could be a very bumpy ride...owning Toney is gonna be like having kids, you're always going to be worried about him.

Yes, there was a much better way he could have made his point without looking like a fool. 

He obviously has control of the account and should not.
