Giants DST Worth A Look Against A Rookie Quarterback

The New York Giants DST has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of the last four weeks, following a dreadful first four games of the 2023 campaign. Against the Commanders and Jets, the unit only allowed 20 points and logged 10 sacks. The team did trade defensive end Leonard Williams to Seattle this week, which […]

Wan’Dale Robinson Seeking Rebound Performance Against Las Vegas

A few weeks ago, New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson looked to be emerging as a safe floor PPR option for fantasy football. In the last two weeks, the second-year wideout has just three targets and one reception for 22 yards. Daniel Jones (neck) will make his return to the starting lineup and can […]

Matt Breida Will Only See Limited Opportunities Against Las Vegas

New York Giants running back Matt Breida remains in a reserve role for the team as they head west for their tilt against Las Vegas in Week 9. Since the return of starter Saquon Barkley, Breida is averaging just four carries per game. The veteran is simply an insurance player for Barkley managers at this […]

Jalin Hyatt Could See Snap Counts Rebound In Week 9

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt saw his involvement in the offense tick up in Weeks 6 and 7 but that all came tumbling down in Week 8. With Daniel Jones (neck) and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) out of the lineup, the passing game went from subpar to nonexistent against the Jets. Hyatt's snap percentage […]

Daniel Bellinger To Get Increased Opportunities In Week 9

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is in line to start Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders due to the injury to starter Darren Waller (hamstring).

Saquon Barkley A Surefire RB1 Against Shaky Run Defense

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) logged a full practice on Friday and will be available to suit up against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's a dream matchup for a workhorse running back.

Daniel Jones A QB2 In Return To Starting Lineup

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) has been cleared to return and will be the starting quarterback once again in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Should I Start Davante Adams in Week 9? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Advice

Fantasy managers, I can guarantee you that Davante Adams shares the same frustrations you have with his recent play. Multiple times on Monday Night Football, the All-Pro wideout was missed when he was wide open or Jimmy Garoppolo took a sack before he could even miss the throw. Monday night's disaster was the last straw […]

Should I Pick Up and Start Derek Carr in Week 9? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints may be simpatico after all. The ex-Raider and first-year Saints quarterback has thrown for over 300 yards in three straight contests, following three games when he was under 185 yards. That stat may be a surprise because the star wideout on this offense, Chris Olave, was held under […]

Defensive Tackle Linval Joseph Signs With Buffalo

Veteran defensive tackle Linval Joseph has been signed by the Buffalo Bills and placed on the active roster. In a corresponding move, the team sent cornerback Kaiir Elam to injured reserve.

Durham Smythe Returns To Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) was spotted at practice in Germany on Thursday. He sat out Wednesday with an ankle ailment.

Raheem Mostert Back At Practice On Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) returned to practice Thursday ahead of the team's matchup against Kansas City in Frankfurt, Germany.

DeAndre Hopkins Expected To Play Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (toe) is on track to play Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The veteran wideout picked up a DNP on Wednesday, putting his status in doubt for Thursday Night Football. Hopkins is coming off his best performance of the 2023 season. Rookie quarterback Will […]

Should I Pick Up Trey McBride? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

It's a risky proclamation, but the tight end position may be uncharacteristically deep right now. A number of key injuries have propelled younger players into premier roles. Dalton Kincaid is one example of that and he scored on Thursday Night Football last week. Another is Trey McBride, who set records in his first game as […]

Should I Pick Up Taysom Hill? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

The New Orleans Saints' offense boasts high-profile names like Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, and Derek Carr. Kamara has been great but the other star of the show hasn't been the receivers or Carr. Rather, a 33-year-old hybrid QB/TE/RB (whatever you want to call him) named Taysom Hill is dominating fantasy football. Over the […]

Courtland Sutton Scores Again In Upset Victory

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton picked up his sixth receiving touchdown of the season in the team's surprising 24-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Grady Jarrett Suffers Torn ACL

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (knee) suffered a torn ACL and will not play for the remainder of the 2023 season. The two-time Pro Bowler suffered the injury early in Atlanta's contest against the Tennessee Titans, which allowed running back Derrick Henry to run for over 100 yards.

Daniel Jones Cleared For Contact

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) has been cleared for contact and is now in line to return to the starting lineup on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Green Bay Packers and pass rusher Rashan Gary have agreed to a new four-year, $96M contract extension.

New York Giants running back Matt Breida rushed the ball five times for 13 yards and added one catch for four yards in the team's 13-10 overtime loss to the New York Jets.

Tommy DeVito Throws For Negative Yardage

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito was thrust into action in the first half with the injury to Tyrod Taylor (ribs) but the Giants' coaching staff clearly didn't trust the undrafted rookie to throw downfield. DeVito routinely handed the ball off to running back Saquon Barkley. When they did let the 25-year-old throw, passes didn't […]

Saquon Barkley Tallies 39 Touches Against The Jets

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley rushed the football 36 times for 128 yards and added three catches for a net of zero yards in the team's 13-10 overtime loss to the New York Jets.

Should I Start Chuba Hubbard in Week 8? Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

25 million dollars across four years is a pretty penny for a running back averaging just over three yards per carry on the season.
