Matt Breida Sparingly Used Heading Into Week 10

New York Giants running back Matt Breida has been relegated entirely to spelling starter Saquon Barkley whenever the latter needs a break. There are no plays or set packages lined up for the veteran.

Darius Slayton Looks To Lead Giants In Receiving Again

Jalin Hyatt’s Breakout Game Not Coming In Week 10

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is still looking for his breakout game in his young NFL career, but it's highly unlikely that comes against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10.

Saquon Barkley The Only Dependable Giant In Week 10
