Mayo hurt - Connelly to step in

Postby Bronco Billy » Wed Aug 26, 2020 12:18 pm

DAVID MAYO
LB, NEW YORK GIANTS

Giants LB David Mayo will undergo surgery after tearing the meniscus in his left knee.

Mayo's loss is another blow for the Giants' defense, which lost rookie S Xavier McKinney to foot surgery. Mayo was second on the team in tackles last season. The Giants are now dangerously thin at linebacker, with 2019 fifth-round pick Ryan Connelly now potentially entering the starting lineup.
Might be a cheap add at LB in deeper leagues. Connelly did some good things for the Giants before he got hurt last year and was a strong performer at WIS.

Connelly came on strong, then went to IR. I'll try to add him wherever I can. Mayo was a good LB3/4 for me last year.

I liked what I saw out of Connelly last year before he went on IR. I already had him stuffed in a couple of leagues waiting for his opportunity, now hoping he takes advantage!

The Giants cut Connelly? So who starts there? Stupar? Seriously?

Devante Downs, apparently. I was really surprised they cut Connelly. I was assuming he'd be back once they placed Mayo on the short-term IR, but I read this morning that they don't plan to bring him back.

I don’t see a clear path to snaps. I’d cut bait on him

Between Kendricks, Barr, Harris and that DL logging tackles like they do, there’s probably not enough for a guy like Connelly to be counted on as even depth in full IDP leagues.

Devante Downs is your new starting MLB for the Giants.
