Daniel Jones A Desperation QB2 On Thursday Night

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled so far this season and will face a quick turnaround playing on Thursday night versus the Eagles.

Dynasty Trade Targets for Rebuilding Teams

Maybe 2020 isn't going the way you planned. That could go for a lot of us in a lot of ways but this specifically refers to fantasy football. Maybe your dynasty team that once looked like a strong contender is sitting at the bottom of the standings with one lonely win or none at all. […]

Giants Defense Records First TD Of Season

The New York Giants Defense had a solid game against Washington posting three sacks, an interception, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown to propel Big Blue to their first win of 2020.

Devonta Freeman Goes For 61 Yards Versus Washington

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman handled 18 carries for 61 yards in a win over Washington Sunday. Freeman caught his only target for minus-four yards.

Evan Engram Has Another Disappointing Outing

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram caught two passes for 30 scoreless yards in a win offer Washington Sunday. Engram game into the day with a good matchup on paper, but the New York offense sputtered again with QB Daniel Jones completing only 12 passes. Engram has 35 yards or less in four-straight games […]

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught two passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in a win over Washington on Sunday.

Jones threw one touchdown, his first score since Week 1, and also threw an interception in New York's first win of 2020. Jones added some fantasy value with 74 rushing yards, but at […]

Darius Slayton Will Play Against Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) is available to play on Sunday against the Washington Football Team. Slayton should serve as the primary target for quarterback Daniel Jones, and while downside exists, he's also already had a pair of 100-yard games and should be considered a solid WR3 play this week against this […]

Week 6 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

I was riding high after predicting eight out of the top ten defenses two weeks ago, but we saw some craziness this Sunday (along with some top tier defenses postponed or canceled), which caused only a 50% success rate in identifying top-10 units. Miami throttling San Francisco was truly a surprise, as was a Kansas […]

Week 6 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings
