The Giants’ “No. 2 running back” with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) on the shelf, Desrosiers was charted as playing only five snaps, but his 20 yards on three touches were just 19 fewer than Devin Singletary generated on 23 handles. Translation, if Skattebo can’t go for Thursday evening’s short-week date with the Commanders, UDFA Desrosiers might be in line for more work following Singletary’s stink bomb against the Eagles. That’s a 14-team league waivers dart calling your name.

The first-year UDFA rushed for 166 yards on 23 carries in the preseason for the Chargers, adding one touchdown and one eight-yard reception. We’d be surprised if he got real run in this backfield but at least he has the bye week to acclimate.
