Fowler re-signed with the Giants on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler was cut loose by the Giants on Oct. 1, but he now rejoins the team with Sterling Shepard (concussion) in danger of missing more time. He'll provide New York's receiver corps with quality depth but isn't worth fantasy consideration in most formats.

The Giants released Fowler on Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler has some utility after two games, taking advantage of an injury- and suspension-ravaged receiving corps to the tune of 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 91 yards. With Daniel Jones under center and Sterling Shepard back from a concussion the past two weeks, Fowler fell off to a 2-8-0 line on five targets. Making matters worse for Fowler was the return of Golden Tate from suspension. Considering his lacking output with Jones directing the offense, cutting Fowler is a logical corresponding move to add Tate to the 53-man roster.

Fowler caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler was on the field for 49 of 78 possible offensive snaps (63 percent). The 28-year-old has been quiet so far this season, logging 12 catches off 20 targets for 99 yards, including just two receptions for eight yards over the last two contests.

Fowler (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler suffered a hamstring injury during a Week 3 practice, and while he still took the field this past Sunday in Tampa Bay, he gathered in just one of three passes from Daniel Jones for five yards. The health concern followed Fowler into this week, limiting him at each practice, but it won't impact his availability for Sunday. Unfortunately for Fowler, Cody Latimer is out of the concussion protocol, Sterling Shepard regained his standing as the Giants' No. 1 WR in Week 3 after getting over his own head injury, and Evan Engram is off to a hot start. Consequently, Fowler may be the fourth option, at best, for Jones in the team's aerial attack.

Fowler (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler's reps remained capped for the second day in a row, so he's not quite out of the woods yet as he works through the hamstring injury. If Fowler upgrades to full participation Friday, he should gain clearance for the Giants' Week 4 matchup with the Redskins. With Cody Latimer (concussion) practicing fully Thursday and seemingly on track to be available this weekend, Fowler is expected to operate as the Giants' No. 3 receiver if he suits up against Washington.

Fowler (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler picked up a hamstring injury last week but went on to play 60 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps Sunday in Tampa Bay. He was targeted just twice by rookie signal-caller Daniel Jones, turning them into one catch for five yards. There's an opportunity for Fowler to produce in a skill-position group dealing with a number of injuries, namely to Saquon Barkley (ankle), Cody Latimer (concussion) and Russell Shepard (foot), assuming he gets through Week 4 prep unscathed.

Fowler caught one of two targets for five yards Sunday versus the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
With Sterling Shepard back and Golden Tate's suspension elapsing after Week 4, Fowler's role figures to be minor.

Fowler (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Buccaneers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler had been trending in the right direction late in the week, and this report confirms his participation for Week 3. He'll be joined by the returning Sterling Shepard (concussion) versus the Buccaneers, giving rookie Daniel Jones a solid 1-2 punch at wideout in his first NFL start.

Fowler (hamstring) seems more likely than not to play in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Added to the injury report Thursday as a non-participant, Fowler made it back to a limited practice Friday and now is listed as questionable for Week 3. He could serve as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Sterling Shepard, with both Golden Tate (suspension) and Cody Latimer (concussion) unable to play.

Fowler (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler was added to the injury report Thursday as a non-participant, coming off a Week 2 performance with five catches for 51 yards on 10 targets in a 28-14 loss to the Bills. He should have a significant role in the offense if he's able to play Week 3, but Sterling Shepard will be back in action as the Giants' unquestioned No. 1 receiver.
