2024 Season Outlooks

We aren't drafting Hyatt before Round 15 in redraft leagues and we aren't sure he'll earn a starting role in Year 2 with Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton ahead of him. The good for Hyatt last year was his 109-yard outburst against the Patriots, his 16.2 yards per catch, and his 9.3 yards per target. But those efficiency stats were muted by the fact that the Patriots game was the only one all season where he earned more than five targets. We're more interested in stashing the 22-year-old in Dynasty leagues. He could be a Best Ball specialist in the right offense due to his big-play ability and blazing speed.

Hyatt played in all 17 games as a rookie, but the third-round pick from Tennessee did little damage on his 40 targets, scoring nary a touchdown. He did, however, average 16.2 yards when he managed to catch the football, which would have been a top-10 mark in the league with more volume, and three catches went for more than 40 yards. The Giants covet explosive playmakers and utilized their top draft pick on Malik Nabers, a future star. Hyatt has the skills to shine, but fantasy managers should not expect top-50 fantasy wide receiver numbers.
