They Might Be Giants (in Fantasy Football)

The New York Giants went into their Week 5 game against the Dallas Cowboys already down Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton.

New York Giants Defense- Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New York Giants defense/special teams should be avoided in Week 6 against a high-powered Los Angeles Rams offense. The Giants defense has been unable to stop any team and has allowed 27.8 points per game, 26th overall in the NFL. New York has allowed 407.8 total yards per contest and was shredded by the […]

Graham Gano - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a borderline streamer in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Giants' offense could struggle to move the ball without its top two playmakers RB Saquon Barkley and WR Kenny Golladay. QB Daniel Jones is trending in the right direction to play, which only helps Gano's fantasy […]

Evan Engram - Week 6 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is considered a low-end TE2 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6.

Engram averages 6.2 air yards per target and owns 15% of the team's […]

Daniel Jones Could Play Without Practicing

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) is "on track with everything" and could return to play in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Joe Judge.

Giants Missing Two Starting Linemen At Practice

New York Giants starting offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) and starting guard Matt Skura (knee) both missed practice on Wednesday. With the team already incredibly banged up, losing two offensive linemen doesn't figure to get many headlines, but it's not good news for running back Devontae Booker, who figures to be the starting running back this […]

Saquon Barkley Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) wasn't at practice on Wednesday, which shouldn't come as a surprise. The franchise star suffered a low-ankle sprain on Sunday and will almost certainly miss this week and possibly next week as well. Devontae Booker will carry the load in his stead, but it's not a very juicy […]

Kadarius Toney Looking Good At Practice

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) looked good while taking part in practice on Wednesday. He's expected to continue having a big role after he caught 10 of 13 targets for 189 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys before being ejected for throwing a punch. Running back Saquon […]

Darius Slayton Returns To Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday, and ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan expects both Slayton and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) to return in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams after they both missed the last two weeks.

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) will not practice on Wednesday. Barkley suffered a low ankle sprain and was carted off the field and Golladay hyperextended his knee in the Week 5 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Both players are expected to miss the Week 6 game […]

Snap Count and Usage Analysis from Week 5

Snap counts are not the be-all-end-all for fantasy production but they paint a clear picture with the necessary context. Every snap is an opportunity for a player to make his presence felt and if their snaps go up or down, you get an idea of what the team thinks of their skill set. A running […]

Daniel Jones Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion) won't practice or be on the field on Wednesday, but head coach Joe Judge said that he is "on track with everything."
