Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sterling Shepard had been able to sustain a fantasy-WR3 profile for the first two-thirds of the season spanning from W1 to W12, but in the three games after that he just couldn't get anything right. The games against Seattle, Arizona, and Cleveland […]

Graham Gano Extends Field-Goal Streak To 29

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano made both of his field-goal attempts in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Giants Defense Has Rough Day In Baltimore

The New York Giants Defense had a rough afternoon in Baltimore, allowing 27 points to the Ravens. Lamar Jackson shredded this defense who couldn't touch the reigning MVP who was not sacked in the game. A Logan Ryan fumble recovery would be the only fantasy production New York could muster in this lopsided affair. The […]

Evan Engram Goes For 65 Yards In Week 16

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram caught seven passes for 65 yards in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday. The Pro-Bowl tight end saw 10 targets with starting QB Daniel Jones (hamstring, ankle) back under center. Engram added one rush attempt for five yards.

Sterling Shepard Leads Giants In Week 16 Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught nine passes for 77 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 loss to the Ravens.

Wayne Gallman Quiet In Week 16 Loss

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman handled six carries for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for 26 yards in a loss to the Ravens. New York fell behind early in this one and Gallman was phased-out of the game-script with the Giants attempting 41 passes. The silver-lining for Gallman is he […]

Daniel Jones Throws For 252 Yards At Baltimore

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones went 24-for-41 passing for 252 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday. The 41 pass attempts match a season-high for Jones who benefited from a pass-heavy game script and a three-yard TD pass in garbage time. Jones was questionable to play with a hamstring […]

Giants Defense Can Be Avoided In Week 16

The New York Giants Defense has a brutal matchup in Baltimore for Week 16. New York will face a road-test against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens offense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses. Fantasy managers playing in Week 16 should look elsewhere for a defense.

Darius Slayton Should Be Avoided In Week 16

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has fallen off the fantasy radar with just eight catches in his last four games combined. The Giants offense has struggled as a whole with starting quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) dealing with multiple injuries and backup Colt McCoy ineffective. Jones should be back this week but will face a […]

Sterling Shepard Has Tough Matchup In Baltimore

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been ineffective lately with the Giants' offense struggling. Shepard has just eight catches in the last three games combined with Big Blue relying on Colt McCoy at quarterback. Daniel Jones (hamstring) is expected back this week but was clearly hobbled last time he tried to play through […]

Evan Engram A Risky Option In Week 16

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram hasn't been productive in recent weeks as the team's offense has sputtered with quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) out. Jones should be back this week against the Ravens, but he was clearly hobbled last time he tried to play through injury, so it'll be hard to trust any New […]

Wayne Gallman A Risky Option In Week 16

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has been a solid starter for fantasy purposes, but he had a disappointing game last week and will face a challenge against the Ravens stout defense in Week 16. Last week, Gallman had just nine carries for 29 yards, his fewest carries in a game since Oct. 11. […]
