Chris Manhertz has shown impressive skills as a blocking tight end, contributing significantly in both run and pass protection. His blocking played a crucial role in the performance of the Giants' offense, especially for running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. He also recorded a career-best performance with a 69.3 overall grade from PFF.

Chris Manhertz started the season slowly as a block-first tight end but improved as the year progressed, showcasing several strong blocking performances. He played in all 17 games, contributing with three receptions, including a touchdown. At nearly 33 years old, his future with the team remains uncertain, but his experience and positive finish to the season could make him a candidate for another one-year deal.

Chris Manhertz is listed on the Giants' injury report with an ankle issue, contributing to a significant injury crisis for the team as they prepare for their upcoming game.

With rookie tight end Theo Johnson out due to injury, Chris Manhertz is expected to take on a larger role at the position. He will join veteran Daniel Bellinger in handling the tight end duties as the Giants navigate the challenges of the season without key players.

Chris Manhertz has had limited involvement in the Giants' passing game, catching only one of two targets, with that reception resulting in a touchdown. His underutilization in the red zone has been noted, and there is a suggestion that the Giants should incorporate their tight ends more effectively in this area, especially given the team's struggles to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns.
