DT · New York Giants — NFL fantasy hub on MySidelines

Durability Story · Watch

DJ Reader's durability file isn’t one dramatic injury — it’s a pattern. The same lower-body soft-tissue themes keep resurfacing. Evidence check: injury reports across 7 different seasons; 1 games missed in the last three (2024: 1); 2024 was the rough one at 1 missed; reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, DJ is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
