Tape Tells All: Jake Luton's Week 9 Performance

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new starting quarterback. As Gardner Minshew II deals with a hand injury, the team has turned to rookie sixth-round pick Jake Luton to man the QB position.

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Typing Week 10 feels strange, but it's true -- we are hitting the home stretch of most fantasy football regular seasons! We had many COVID-19 scares but all games were played once again. Key injuries included David Johnson (concussion), David Montgomery (concussion), Justin Jackson (knee), Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring), Preston Williams (foot). Christian McCaffrey also seemed […]

Week 9 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

At tight end Travis Kelce exploded for 159 yards finishing as the No. 1 tight end on the week and T.J. Hockenson finished […]

Golden Tate On Track To Return In Week 10

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is likely to return to the fold for Sunday's game versus the Eagles after head coach Joe Judge said Monday that he "anticipates him being active." Tate was not included on the team's roster for Sunday's win over Washington following multiple incidents over the past week that the organization […]

Wayne Gallman (RB, NYG) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The only thing that might prevent you from adding Wayne Gallman to your roster and keeping them ROS should be his bye week coming in Week 11. Other than that, the schedule looks good for him to close the fantasy season, as Gallman […]

Richie James Jr. (WR, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is going to be hard--way hard, in fact--to see Richie James Jr. reach the amount of playing time he got against Green Bay last Thursday, let alone watching him play to league-winning levels. The 49ers have been ravaged by injuries this season, […]

Giants Defense Has Big Day Versus Washington

The New York Giants Defense had a big afternoon Sunday in a win at Washington. New York forced fumbles by rookies Antonio Gibson and Isaiah Wright on the first two drives for Washington before knocking out starting quarterback Kyle Allen on an illegal-hit. Alex Smith took over for Washington and threw three interceptions and got […]

Graham Gano Drills Three Field Goals Versus Washington

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano went 3-for-3 on field goals and made both of his extra points in a win over Washington. Gano drilled field goals from 38, 48, and 42 on another perfect afternoon for the veteran from Florida State. Gano has made 18-straight field goals and hasn't missed since Week 2. Gano […]

Evan Engram Catches First Touchdown Of 2020

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram made a diving catch in the end zone to score his first touchdown of 2020 in a win at Washington. Engram had five total catches for 48 yards in the win while leading the team with 10 targets. The Giants offense has been shaley at times, but Engram […]

Sterling Shepard Records Six Catches In Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught six passes for 39 yards in a win over Washington on Sunday. Despite the low yardage output, fantasy managers should be pleased Shepard saw eight targets making it three-straight weeks Shepard has seen at least eight passes. He is the clear top-receiver in the Giants' offense making […]

Darius Slayton Vanishes In Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had his worst game of the season in Week 9 at Washington, catching his only target for six yards. Slayton was blanked all day by a strong Washington secondary that allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Slayton has been a boom-bust option in fantasy all […]

Austin Mack Leads Giants In Receiving

New York Giants wide receiver Austin Mack caught four passes for 72 yards to lead the team in receiving in their win versus Washington. Mack was playing as Golden Tate (discipline) was benched for the contest and Mack made the most of his opportunity. Mack almost had a bigger game, but his first-career touchdown was […]

Dion Lewis Ineffective Again In Win

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis played sparingly again in a win versus Washington on Sunday. Lewis mustered just five yards on only three carries and added 16 yards on two catches in the passing game. With Devonta Freeman (ankle) poised to return from injury, Lewis should get pushed further into the abyss in […]

Alfred Morris Runs For 67 Yards Versus Former Team

New York Giants running back Alfred Morris handled nine carries for 67 yards in a win at Washington on Sunday. Morris caught his only target to add four receiving yards. It was impressive to see Morris running this well against his former team as his 7.4 yards-per-carry is easily a season-high for the veteran running […]

Wayne Gallman Scores For Third-Straight Game

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman found the end zone for the third-straight game while rushing for a season-high 68 yards in a win at Washington on Sunday. Gallman added one catch for nine yards in his best game of the season for fantasy. The Clemson Tiger has been good filling in for Devonta […]

Daniel Jones Efficient In Win Versus Washington

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones went 23-for-34 passing for 212 yards with a touchdown in a win at Washington on Sunday. Jones added four yards on six rushing attempts and fumbled twice, but both were recovered by New York to give Jones his first turnover-free game this season. If Jones can limit the turnovers, […]

Giants Declined Trade Offers For Evan Engram

The New York Giants received multiple inquiries and offers for tight end Evan Engram at the trade deadline last week, according to sources. The Giants decided to keep Engram unless they were offered a first-round pick for his services. New York is now looking for the tight end to validate their decision to hang onto […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 9

The recommendations from the Week 8 wide receiver matchup article were fairly productive, featuring Corey Davis, Brandon Aiyuk, Cooper Kupp and Tyler Boyd who all finished inside the top-15. On the negative side, Marquise Brown was only targeted twice, A.J. Green underwhelmed and Justin Jefferson couldn't get it done in windy conditions which limited the […]
