The New York Giants bye is Week 8 — Sunday, November 1, 2026.
Their last game before the bye is Week 7 on October 25 (at Houston Texans), and they return in Week 9 on November 8 (at Philadelphia Eagles). For fantasy managers: plan your roster around Week 8 — every New York Giants player is off that week, so line up replacements at the positions you lean on before your waiver rivals do.
