J.J. McCarthy named starter for Giants: What could it mean for the fantasy outlooks of Malik Nabers, Isaiah Likely?

The Giants will start former first‑rounder J.J. McCarthy in Week 7 against the Houston Texans, replacing Jameis Winston after Jaxson Dart’s season‑ending meniscus injury.

McCarthy entered the previous game in Week 6 and almost sparked a fourth‑quarter comeback, during which his primary targets Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely both recorded catches.

Fantasy analysts Matt Harmon and Ray Garvin note that McCarthy’s physical tools are solid and that his ability to deliver the ball to Nabers and Likely should keep both players steady in fantasy rankings, with Likely’s slot‑receiver style making him especially valuable regardless of the quarterback.
