Alex Bachman caught all three targets for 31 yards in a Week 6 loss to the Steelers.
Bachman saw extra time with both Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers sidelined. He was actually second among all wide receivers in targets but also trailed both running backs and both tight ends. It’s highly unlikely that Bachman will emerge onto the fantasy radar, but fantasy managers in deeper formats can store his name away in case Adams and Meyers continue to miss time.
Giants waived WR Alex Bachman.
Bachman led the NFL in preseason receptions this summer, catching 19 of his 20 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in three games. Bachman, an undrafted free agent in 2019 who spent time with the Rams, has a decent chance to land on another team's practice squad.
Bachman signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Bachman has been on the Giants' practice squad since Nov. 12, and he'll get a chance to battle for a spot on the 2020 roster throughout the offseason program and training camp. His quickest route to the 53-man squad may be through special teams.
Bachman signed with the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Bachman spent the preseason with New York, recording two receptions for 24 yards. He was let go with an injury settlement before suiting up in the regular season, however. The Giants appear to be affording the rookie another shot, as they've received minimal production behind Golden Tate and Darius Slayton while Sterling Shepard (concussion) is on the shelf.
