Wayne Gallman, Dion Lewis Avoidable In Week 6

New York Giants running backs Dion Lewis and Wayne Gallman have fallen behind Devonta Freeman on the depth chart and both are unlikely to provide fantasy value in Week 6. Last week, Gallman was out-carried by Freeman 17 to five and Lewis did not get a carry. Lewis did have four targets, but was only […]

Giants Defense Has Good Matchup Versus Washington

The New York Giants Defense is in play for fantasy purposes in a Week 6 matchup with the Washington Football Team. The Giants defense hasn't been overly productive for fantasy to this point in the season, but Washington is one of the strongest matchups an opposing defense can face. Last week versus the Rams, Washington […]

Darius Slayton Looks Like A Strong Start Versus Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a big game in Week 6 and is in position to succeed again in Week 6 versus Washington. Slayton exploded for 129 yards on eight catches last week versus Dallas, his second 100-plus yard outing this season. Despite some down-games in-between big performances, Slayton has been heavily […]

Golden Tate A Risky Fantasy Option In Week 6

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate hasn't been productive for fantasy so far in 2020 and is a risky start in Week 6. Tate has seen his targets drop three-straight weeks and is averaging under six targets-per-game this season. When he is involved in the offense Tate has struggled to turn opportunity into fantasy […]

Devonta Freeman Primed For Best Game As A Giant

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has seen his workload increase in each week with the team and is in a good position for fantasy production in Week 6 versus Washington. Freeman has 15 touches in back-to-back games including handling 17 carries last week to Wayne Gallman's five. Washington has allowed six touchdowns to […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

More delays, postponed games, and schedule changes. Get used to the new normal. We should be thankful that we at least have an NFL season that has gone mostly according to plan, other than every good running back being injured. The waiver wire will be more important in 2020 than any previous season, especially after […]

Evan Engram Has Good Matchup For Week 6

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is off to a slow start in 2020 but has a good matchup versus Washington in Week 6. The Football Team allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends thus far, including allowing over 100 yards to the Rams tight ends last week. Engram is coming off […]

Daniel Jones Searching For First Touchdown Since Week 1

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has a good matchup in Week 6 as the sophomore signal caller will look to find the end zone for the first time since the season opener. Jones threw two touchdowns versus Pittsburgh in Week 1, but has struggled mightily since then as he has played himself out of […]

Engel's Angles: In-Season Tips for Success and Survival

This has been a somewhat stressful and more of an anxiety-inducing fantasy football season than what we have been used to. Major injuries and other health concerns have appeared to add more challenges than we normally deal with in a given year. Of course, the twists and turns we face throughout a season makes our […]

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster Still a WR1?

In the last 10 seasons, only one man has been able to finish with more than 300 PPR points in fantasy leagues while playing wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers: Antonio Brown. The misunderstood and now much-maligned wideout did it six times from 2013 to 2018 without failing at it, getting between 307.3 points and 388.2 […]

Should We Worry About Amari Cooper and the Dallas Receivers?

With Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott leading the way, the Dallas Cowboys' offense is stacked at the skill positions; however, the offensive line is a mess. Travis Frederick was a huge loss this offseason. The season-ending injury to Tyron Smith makes it even worse for anyone behind center. Andy Dalton is no Dak Prescott. He […]

Darius Slayton Limited Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday. Barring any setbacks on Friday or Saturday, Slayton should be good to go in Week 6 against Washington. Although the Washington Football Team is holding wideouts to the third-fewest fantasy points through five weeks, Slayton remains a safe WR2 target […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 6 Lightning Round

Week 5 brought some key injuries and we lost the NE/DEN game (with BUF/TEN still up in the air). The biggest injury was Dak Prescott, who was carted off after suffering a compound ankle fracture, but we also saw Sammy Watkins and A.J. Green leave due to hamstring injuries alongside Diontae Johnson's back injury. Also, Dalvin […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 6

Once again, the NFL was a perfect example of why people love and hate the game of football. On one hand, we saw the best feelgood story in several years with Alex Smith returning to play (and looking relatively good all things considered) for the Washington Football Team. Then, just hours later the brutal cruelty […]

NextGen Stats - Running Back Breakdowns and Takeaways

With five weeks of play in the books and things starting to settle a bit, it's time to get back to studying some of the rushers around the league and see how they have performed through (almost) the first third of the season. Here's to hope that we don't have any more setbacks with regards […]

Week 5 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 4 where 17 quarterbacks scored at least 20-fantasy points, only 11 quarterbacks reached that same mark in Week 5. Patrick Mahomes finished the week as the No. 1 quarterback on the week, while Ryan Fitzpatrick finished No. 2 in surprising fashion against a tough 49ers Defense. Travis Kelce finished Week 5 as the […]

Giants Defense Loses Lorenzo Carter For The Season

New York Giants outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter (Achilles) will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a ruptured Achilles in the Week 5 loss to the Cowboys. Carter was carted off the field on Sunday and will undergo surgery later this week. He's expected to be back for next season. Entering Week 5, […]

Darius Slayton Effective Against Cowboys

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton hauled in eight catches for 128 yards during the loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The 23-year-old received a season-high 11 targets, surpassing the nine he got during the Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although he will likely cool off once again at some point, […]

Devonta Freeman Leads The Way In Week 5

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman ran for 60 yards and a touchdown off of 17 carries during the loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also had two catches for 27 yards. Although the former Falcon conceded carries once again to Wayne Gallman, who had five for 24 yards, it was his most […]

Evan Engram Finally Scores In Week 5

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had a catch for 16 yards during the Week 5 loss to the Cowboys. He also added a touchdown off of a three-yard carry in the first quarter. While it is reassuring that the 26-year-old has remained healthy thus far during the 2020 campaign, most are likely disappointed […]

Daniel Jones Quiet Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 222 yards on 20-for-33 passing during the narrow loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also had a fumble. As the team focused primarily on the run, the sophomore signal-caller didn't make much of a dent on the fantasy end. Now not having logged a touchdown pass […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 5

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Often times, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week, Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson topped 100 yards for the second consecutive game. The rookie is amazingly the highest-rated wideout according to PFF through four […]
