Shane Lemieux Out For 2021 After Surgery

New York Giants offensive lineman Shane Lemieux (knee) had surgery on Wednesday to repair a partially torn patellar tendon and will miss the remainder of the 2021 season.

Saquon Barkley Limited To Start The Week

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

Evan Engram Returns To Limited Practice

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) got in a limited practice on Wednesday.

But with the […]

Saquon Barkley - Bust or Bounce Back?

Saquon Barkley is arguably the most polarizing figure in fantasy football at the moment.

Each and every time I pop open my Twitter […]

Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds

Deeper leagues are the forgotten stepchild of fantasy football content. Waiver wire articles typically focus on players that are available in 10 or 12 team leagues.
