Tye was targeted five times in Sunday's win over Washington, converting them into four catches for 47 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Despite starter-level snaps, Tye has seldom been much of a threat this season, being held to three catches or less in 10 games and 25 yards or less 11 times. He heads into the playoffs on a comparative high note, with 13 catches in his last three games. Look for the Giants to try to keep him going as the Packers were one of just eight teams this season to surrender more than 1,000 yards to tight ends.

Tye (illness) practiced in full Thursday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
An illness kept Tye out of a portion of Wednesday's session, but he was able to handle every rep thrown his way one day later. Although he began the season as the Giants' backup tight end, he jumped to the top job in Week 4 when Larry Donnell sustained a concussion. Donnell regained the role for two games upon his return in Week 6, but after their bye in Week 8, he was usurped for good by Tye. Since the changing of the guard, Tye has earned at least 66 percent of the offensive snaps in eight consecutive contests, solidifying his spot within the offense.

Tye (illness) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Tye has dealt with an illness recently and was only able to go through portions of Wednesday's practice. However, he apparently felt much better Thursday, as he was able to take part in the full session. Tye should be good to go for Sunday's Week 17 tilt with the Redskins, so look for him to take on his usual role as the team's second option behind Larry Donnell at tight end. Despite matching a season-high of eight targets in Week 16, Tye has just one touchdown on the season and isn't a reliable fantasy option unless Donnell goes down with an injury.

Tye (illness) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, SNY.tv reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Tye's illness remains unclear, but the fact that he was able to practice on a limited basis bodes well for his chances of playing in Sunday's game against the Redskins as the No. 2 option at tight end behind Larry Donnell.

Tye caught five of eight targets for 23 yards in Thursday's loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Tye tied season highs in catches and targets during the game, but still came away with 25 yards or fewer for the 11th time in 15 contests. The second-year performer has been the Giants' most reliable tight end throughout the season, but still hasn't accounted for much, with just one touchdown and a measly 23 yards per game. The G-Men end the season with a Washington team that held Tye to 14 yards in Week 3.

Tye caught all four of his targets for 25 yards Sunday against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Tye is the team's top tight end, though his role is modest and rookie Jerrell Adams is also in the mix.

Tye nabbed both of his targets for a total of 19 yards in Sunday's win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Tye has been remarkably consistent in recent weeks. He just hasn't been consistently dynamic. He's caught just two passes for under 25 yards in seven of his last nine games, including his last four. With just one score to his name this season, and four red zone targets since the Giants' Week 8 bye, Tye is not a strong choice week to week.

Tye caught two of four passes for 22 yards in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Since seizing starter-level snaps after the bye, Tye's usage has bottomed out. After 15 targets and nine catches in Weeks 9 and 10, he's put together just 11 targets and six catches in the three games since, for a total of just 46 yards. With Odell Beckham in the fold and rookie Sterling Shepard emerging - there hasn't been a big place for tight ends in the offense.

Tye caught both passes that came his way for 12 yards in Sunday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
In the first three games since the Giants' bye, Tye caught at least four passes or scored. He settled back down to earth on Sunday. Tye, despite getting starter-level snaps since the bye, has just 110 total yards and a touchdown in the four games. The Giants' passing game hasn't featured much from the tight end in years, so it'd be a fool's errand to place too much faith in Tye week to week.

Tye caught two of his five targets for 12 yards and a touchdown Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tye has claimed the starting tight end job for himself, but he's not a major part of the team's offense on a regular basis.
