Campbell never had the chance to flash his speed in a Colts offense that hasn't had a vertical thrower since he entered the NFL, but joining the Giants isn't likely to change that. What it could change is his overall target volume. Daniel Jones leaned on Richie James in the slot and that WR role was often the first read. Campbell will have competition for the starting slot role but has a chance to open training camp as the only healthy option among himself, Sterling Shepard and Wan'Dale Robinson. He is likely to go undrafted and would be worth a late-round dart throw only in PPR leagues if he has the slot role secure.
Giants' Parris Campbell: Leads team in catches Thursday
Rotowire
Campbell caught all six of his targets for 24 yards in Week 3 during a loss to San Francisco.
While Campbell led New York with a season-high six receptions, he didn't do much with that volume, posting a long gain of seven yards and picking up just 24 yards total. He also logged a season-low 42 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps, though that was still good enough for third-most among wideouts on the team. Campbell, Jalin Hyatt and the returning Wan'Dale Robinson saw relatively similar playing time in the Week 3 contest, and there may not be much fantasy value among the trio until one separates himself from the others.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Targeted six times Week 2
Rotowire
Campbell caught four of six targets for 21 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Cardinals.
After nabbing just one of four targets in a season-opening loss to Dallas, Campbell was more efficient and productive against Arizona, though his longest reception went for just nine yards. The speedy wideout finished tied for third on the team in catches but was sixth in receiving yards in a game during which QB Daniel Jones racked up 321 yards through the air. New York doesn't yet have a clear wide-receiver pecking order, making it difficult to predict how much volume Campbell -- or any of the team's wideouts -- will receive in any given week.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Quiet in Giants debut
Rotowire
Campbell caught one of four targets for two yards in Sunday's blowout Week 1 loss to Dallas.
Campbell started for the Giants and was on the field for two-thirds of the team's offensive snaps, but he did very little in a contest during which starting QB Daniel Jones completed only 15 passes. Campbell wasn't alone in his lack of production -- no New York wide receiver recorded more than three catches or 24 yards in the embarrassing defeat. Campbell at least seems primed to have a major role in the offense, and he'll look to be much more productive in next Sunday's matchup in Arizona.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Records three catches Friday
Rotowire
Campbell caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Friday's exhibition win against Carolina.
After sitting out New York's preseason opener, Campbell worked with the starters in Friday's win. His longest gain was a 13-yarder in the middle of the field. Campbell appears to be in line to begin as the Giants' WR3 this season, though rookie Jalin Hyatt -- who caught a touchdown pass Friday -- is among a host of pass catchers in a crowded receiver room who could cut into Campbell's snap share.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Back at practice
Rotowire
Campbell (knee) will return to practice Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Campbell missed just one day of practice due to tendinitis in his knee. Prior to that, he was staying busy at Giants training camp, with multiple beat writers reporting that Campbell and TE Darren Waller were drawing the most targets from QB Daniel Jones during practices. The former Colt thus appears on track for a top-three spot at WR to open the season, though it could be a fairly fluid position for the Giants throughout the year given that they have quantity more so than quality at the position.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Dealing with knee tendinitis
Rotowire
Campbell was held out of Thursday's practice due to knee tendinitis, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
Campbell played only 15 games over his first three seasons with the Colts before finally staying healthy last year and playing all 17 games en route to a 63-623-3 receiving line. He then signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March, and by all accounts he'd been busy at training camp prior to Thursday, with multiple beat writers reporting that Campbell and TE Darren Waller had seen the most targets from QB Daniel Jones at training camp. Campbell's injury history still lingers as a relevant factor, but the current issue doesn't sound serious and he thus appears well on his way to a top-three spot on the depth chart to start the season. The Giants have a bunch of wide receivers in the mix for roles, including rookie Jalin Hyatt and ACL recoverees Sterling Shepard and Wan'Dale Robinson, but Duggan projects the Giants will start the season with a veteran trio of Campbell, Isaiah Hodgins and Darius Slayton as the primary WR grouping in 11 personnel.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Staying busy at spring practices
Rotowire
Campbell was frequently targeted by QB Daniel Jones during spring practices and also got some reps as a running back in individual drills and walk-throughs, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Duggan counted 15 receptions from Jones to Campbell during open practices this spring, four more than any other wide receiver had with the Giants' starting quarterback. Campbell's work in the backfield is also somewhat interesting in light of the Giants' shaky RB depth behind Saquon Barkley, who hasn't signed his franchise tag and has until July 17 to negotiate a long-term contract. Campbell took only 11 carries for 108 yards in 32 games for Indianapolis the past four seasons, but he's at least athletic enough to be more active in that regard, considering he ran a 4.31 40-yard dash at 205 pounds prior to the Colts drafting him 59th overall in 2019. A slew of injuries limited Campbell to 15 games over his first three seasons, and he finally stayed healthy last year but was part of one of the worst passing attacks in the NFL. The Giants signed him to a one-year, $4.7 million contract in March and seemingly want to be more creative with how Campbell is deployed rather than limiting him to short passes out of the slot.

Giants' Parris Campbell: Links up with Daboll in NYC
Rotowire
Campbell is signing with the Giants, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
A 2019 second-round pick with 4.31 speed, Campbell primarily worked the slot in Indianapolis, where the first three years of his career were defined by a long list of injuries. He then played 17 games last season, more than in his first three years combined, but nonetheless finished with a modest receiving line of 63-623-3 on 91 targets. Campbell turns 26 in July and should benefit from coaching and QB upgrades relative to what he dealt with in Indianapolis, though his role remains to be seen and could partially depend on how Wan'Dale Robinson and Sterling Shepard fare in their respective recoveries from ACL tears. Isaiah Hodgins is the only healthy receiver under contract with New York at the start of the league year who had a significant role in Brian Daboll's offense last season.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Strong finish to encouraging '22
Rotowire
Campbell secured six of nine targets for 42 yards and rushed once for 26 yards in the Colts' 32-31 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Indianapolis.
Campbell put a strong cap on his first fully healthy season since his rookie 2019 campaign, one that saw him log action in all 17 games and put together a career-best 63-623-3 line through the air that he complemented with 58 rushing yards on five attempts. The fourth-year speedster tied Deon Jackson for the team lead in receptions and paced the Colts in targets on the afternoon, making it a noteworthy finale all the way around. Campbell is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year, and he could certainly be an intriguing mid-level asset on the open market if he doesn't return to Indianapolis under what will almost certainly be a new coaching staff.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Team-high yardage total in loss
Rotowire
Campbell brought in three of six targets for 52 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Colts' 38-10 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Campbell led the Colts in receiving yardage thanks almost entirely to a 49-yard grab. The speedster has been blessed with an extended stretch of good health for the first time in his career this season, and he'll look to build on what was his best receiving yardage total since Week 11 in the regular-season finale versus the Texans at home.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Catches two of five targets in loss
Rotowire
Campbell hauled in two of five targets for 19 yards during Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.
Campbell finished second among the Colts wideouts in targets and offensive snaps behind Michael Pittman, but the former failed to make much of a fantasy impact. From Weeks 4 through 13, Campbell totaled 45 receptions on 60 targets for 450 yards and three touchdowns, but he's managed just four receptions on eight targets for 32 yards across the Colts' past two games following their Week 14 bye. The 2019 second-round pick figures to operate as the team's No. 2 wideout again in Week 17, but given his recent performances, he'll likely be a risky fantasy play even in deeper leagues.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Two catches in Week 15 loss
Rotowire
Campbell caught two of four targets for 13 yards in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to Minnesota.
Campbell tied with Alec Pierce for second on the team with four targets, but Michael Pittman led the way with 10 catches for 60 yards on 14 targets to finish as the only Indianapolis receiver with more than two catches. With an inconsistent role on an offense helmed by Matt Ryan -- who hasn't thrown for 250 yards in a game since Week 6 -- Campbell will remain a risky fantasy option in Week 16 against the Chargers.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Campbell has struggled of late with a combined 11 PPR points in his past two games against the Steelers and Cowboys. Prior to that, he scored 31 PPR points in two games against the Raiders and Eagles with Matt Ryan back under center, and Campbell might be able to play like a No. 3 PPR receiver this week against the Vikings, who are No. 3 in Fantasy points allowed to receivers. Campbell is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Nets 45 yards in blowout loss
Rotowire
Campbell caught four of five targets for 43 yards and had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 54-19 loss to Dallas.
Campbell was one the few bright spots for the Colts' passing game in an otherwise forgettable showing from the entire unit. The 2019 second-round pick was able to bounce back from a rough Week 12, but the end results were still middling from a fantasy perspective. Campbell and the Colts are off for Week 14, resuming play against the Vikings on Dec. 18.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Shut down by Steelers
Rotowire
Campbell caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
Of Matt Ryan's 199 passing yards, 159 went to either Michael Pittman or rookie tight end Jelani Woods, and Pittman caught the Colts' lone touchdown pass of the night. Campbell had demonstrated decent chemistry with Ryan prior to this dud, but the 25-year-old wide receiver will remain a hit-or-miss option in Week 13 against Dallas as part of a Colts passing game that's failed to find consistency in 2022.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Campbell had another quality outing with Matt Ryan in Week 11 against Philadelphia with five catches for 67 yards on six targets. He's now scored at least 11 PPR points in his past four starts with Ryan, and he should be considered at least a No. 3 PPR receiver in Week 12 against the Steelers. Pittsburgh allows the most Fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, and hopefully Campbell will stay hot on Monday night in tandem with Michael Pittman.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Returns to full practice

Campbell (illness) practiced fully Friday.
Campbell was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but his return to full activity clears the way for him to play Monday against the Steelers. In his last four appearances when Matt Ryan has served as the Colts' starting quarterback, Campbell has drawn a whopping 38 targets while turning in 29 receptions for 270 yards and three touchdowns.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Maintains momentum

Campbell caught five passes for 67 yards on six targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.
Campbell has been rather busy in Matt Ryan's last four starts, drawing 38 targets and turning them into 29 catches for 270 yards and three touchdowns (76.3 percent catch rate, 7.1 yards per target). So long as Ryan remains the Indianapolis starting quarterback, Campbell might continue to turn a corner. He'll try to keep rolling against Pittsburgh in Week 12.

Colts' Parris Campbell: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Matt Ryan's return as the starter for the Colts is great for Campbell, who is worth using as a borderline starter in all leagues in Week 11 against the Eagles. In his past three games with Ryan, Campbell has scored at least 18 PPR points in each outing with at least nine targets, seven catches and 57 yards, and he has a touchdown in each game. We'll see if he can keep this up, but the Colts are likely going to lean on Campbell as the No. 2 target behind Michael Pittman, who is also worth starting in Week 11. Ryan could be throwing the ball 40-plus times this week against the Eagles, which should mean plenty of targets for Campbell and Pittman. I'm excited about both of their outlooks for the rest of the year with Ryan back.
