2023 Fantasy Outlook
Cager bounced between the Giants' practice squad and active roster after signing with the team last October, ending with 13 catches for 118 yards and a TD over six contests. Much of that production came when New York rested its starters in Week 18 and Cager caught eight passes for 69 yards. The Giants signed Darren Waller in the offseason and are still high on second-year TE Daniel Bellinger, so Cager is unlikely to see more than a bit role if he makes the initial roster.

Moves to IR
The Giants placed Cager (groin) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cager was expected to miss his second game in a row in Week 17 after being listed as doubtful, but it now seems as if New York has decided to shut down the fourth-year pro for the remainder of the season. Barring any signings or practice squad elevations, the Giants will go into their final two games with Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger as the only two tight ends on their active roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Converting to tight end
Cager has been working as a tight end at Jets minicamp, per Connor Hughes of the Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Cager has failed to make much of an impact at wide receiver since signing with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2020. After quiet stints in New York and Cleveland, the 6-foot-5 Cager has returned to the Jets and is hoping to transition to tight end. He hasn't lost speed despite bulking up to 245 pounds, but whether Cager has a shot at a roster spot will come down to how well he can block.
