The Giants promoted Holton to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Sterling Shepard (toe) on injured reserve, Holton will be brought up from the practice squad to add depth. He played in 16 games with the Steelers last year and caught three of 15 targets for 21 yards. He'll likely operate in a reserve role with the Giants but could contribute on special teams.

Holton was released by the Giants on Saturday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holton signed with the team Wednesday and didn't prove himself enough in his short time with the team to secure a roster spot. The 29-year-old was active for all 16 games with the Steelers last season but caught just three passes for 21 yards on 15 targets.

Holton agreed to a contract with the Giants on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Holton was let go by the Steelers this offseason, but will get another opportunity to make a 53-man roster. The 28-year-old produced just three catches for 21 yards and returned three kickoffs through 16 games in 2019, so he'll be looking for a depth role.

The Steelers cut Holton on Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holton produced just three catches for 21 yards and returned three kickoffs for 55 yards through 16 games in 2019. The 28-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere in a special teams and depth receiver role.

Holton was not targeted in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Holton played in all 16 games in 2019 primarily on special teams. He was only on the field for six offensive snaps in the season finale and finishes with three receptions (on 15 targets) for 21 yards. He has one year remaining on his contract heading into 2020.

Holton caught both his targets but lost one yard in Pittsburgh's 17-10 loss to Buffalo on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
The good news is that Holton brought in both balls sent his way after having caught just one of 13 targets all season. Unfortunately, the receptions accounted for a one-yard loss. For fantasy owners with something to play for in Week 16, anyone else would be a better option.

Holton catches one pass for 18 yards in Pittsburgh's 21 - 7 loss to Cleveland Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
The catch was the first this season for Holton who saw his role increase with game-ending injuries to JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Diontae Johnson (concussion). Holton was targeted seven times after seeing just six targets in six games this season. Even if Smith-Schuster and Johnson are unable to play in Week 12 against the Bengals Holton is not a viable fantasy option.

Holton failed to bring in his only target during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Holton hasn't made a notable impact in the passing game through six contests this season. He does most of his damage on special teams. The 28-year-old possesses minimal fantasy value, even in the deepest of leagues.
