NY Giants report reveals Jonathan Taylor wasn’t the only star RB wanted by John Harbaugh
Ahead of the trade deadline, John Harbaugh’s New York Giants pursued Jonathan Taylor and also probed Atlanta Falcons star Bijan Robinson, according to insider Jordan Raanan. Despite interest in other high‑profile players like Jeffery Simmons and DeForest Buckner, no deals materialized, leaving the RB depth chart unchanged. Cam Skattebo stays as RB1, with Devin Singletary as his backup and Gregory Desrosiers in a limited role.

Washington deals with injuries at center—Lucas Patrick is out with a concussion, veteran Nick Allegretti steps in—and hopes wide receiver Burks and cornerback Amik Robertson return. Coach Dan Quinn’s job hangs in the balance as the team, now 2‑5‑1, chose to stand pat at the trade deadline.

Week 10 fantasy football WR rankings highlight Jaxon Smith‑Njigba (SEA) as a must‑start despite a backup QB, thanks to a Raiders defense that allows 23.6 fantasy points to receivers. Malik Nabers (NYG) rebounds from a poor outing with a favorable matchup against Washington's weak secondary and the Commanders' low coverage. Amon‑Ra St. Brown (DET) could thrive as the Patriots focus on stopping the run, opening play‑action chances.

NFL rumors: Forget Jonathan Taylor, Giants called Falcons about Bijan Robinson trade
The New York Giants, fresh off a 19‑11 win and leading the NFC East at 5‑2‑1, reportedly reached out to the Atlanta Falcons about a trade for star running back Bijan Robinson before the deadline. Insider Jordan Raanan said the Giants also contacted Jeffrey Simmons, Jonathan Taylor and DeForest Buckner, but a lack of draft picks—especially after trading for QB J.J. McCarthy—stalled any deal. Robinson, the No. 8 pick of 2023, has logged 880 rushing yards on 169 carries and 31 catches for 250 yards this season, making him a coveted upgrade despite the Giants' roster confidence.
Giants Kicked Tires On Trade For Falcons RB Bijan Robinson
The New York Giants stayed idle at the 2026 trade deadline despite an aggressive pursuit of top running backs. After a failed offer for Colts star Jonathan Taylor, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan says the Giants even called the Atlanta Falcons to gauge interest in RB Bijan Robinson, who remains unavailable. Robinson, the 2023 No. 8 overall pick, has tallied 880 rushing yards on 169 carries (5.2 YPC) and six touchdowns in nine games this season, and recently signed a three‑year, up‑to‑$75 million extension after the Falcons exercised his fifth‑year option. The failed outreach underscores the Giants’ urgent need to upgrade their backfield.

After a brief hip injury against the Philadelphia Eagles, 18‑year‑old Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy completed a full practice on Tuesday, signaling a quick recovery.

McCarthy logged four carries for 22 yards, including a crucial third‑and‑10 scramble, and threw 12 of 19 passes with a 27‑yard gain.

Washington Commanders vs. NY Giants on TNF Week 10: Inside the Matchup
The Washington Commanders (2-5-1) travel to MetLife Stadium for Thursday Night Football on Nov. 12 against NFC East‑leading New York Giants (5-2-1). A win would give Washington the division tie‑breaker and narrow the Giants' lead to two games with eight left. Giants rookie QB J.J. McCarthy, now 2‑0 as a starter, ranks 5th league‑wide in third‑down completions (71.4%), while Commanders QB Jayden Daniels struggles with a league‑worst 31% third‑down conversion rate. Key players to watch: Giants RB Cam Skattevo (124 yards vs. Texans, 418 total) returning from hamstring, WR Malik Nabers (36 catches, 509 yards, 2 TDs), and LB Arvell Reese (65 tackles, 4.5 sacks). Washington’s O‑line shuffle and defensive schemes under Dennard Wilson could exploit the Giants’ vulnerable interior line.
NY Giants’ John Harbaugh provides significant injury update on JJ McCarthy ahead of TNF vs Commanders

The Giants, sitting comfortably atop the NFC East, also have backup quarterback Jameis Winston ready, while wide receiver Cam Skattebo continues recovering from a hamstring strain.
