Darius Slayton Paces Giants Receiving Core In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught three passes on seven targets for 53 yards in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Slayton led the Giants in receiving yards and was tied with Golden Tate for the team lead in targets. Slayton had a huge game in Week 1, but has not found […]

Giants Defense Shredded By 49ers

The New York Giants Defense was torn apart by backup quarterback Nick Mullens and the rest of the 49ers offense en route to a 36-9 beatdown in MetLife Stadium. They sacked Mullens only twice and were not able to force a turnover. New York has another tough matchup in Week 4 at the Rams and […]

Dion Lewis Has Just Two Touches In Week 3

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis had just one carry for no yards and one catch for 10 yards in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. None of the Giants running backs could get going in this one, but it was discouraging for fantasy to see Lewis so sparsely used. No Giants running […]

Evan Engram Ineffective Again In Week 3

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had another disappointing stat-line in Week 3 versus the 49ers. Engram caught just three passes for 22 scoreless yards on five targets. The New York offense sputtered most of the afternoon and at this point it's hard to trust anyone in the offense. Engram has just 11 catches […]

Wayne Gallman Sees Four Carries In Week 3

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman ran for seven yards on four carries in a loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Gallman added seven yards on two receptions. Gallman was a healthy scratch before Saquon Barkley (knee) was injured in Week 2 and the team signed Devonta Freeman, so Gallman wasn't expected to carry […]

Devonta Freeman Falls Flat In Big Blue Debut

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman rushed for 10 yards on five carries in his first game with the team. Freeman was not targeted in the passing game. The small silver-lining for fantasy managers is Freeman's five carries was tied for the team lead, but New York was not able to run the ball […]

Daniel Jones Puts Up Another Disappointing Week

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had another disappointing game Sunday in a blowout loss to the 49ers. Jones completed just over 50-percent of his passes, 17-for-32, and threw one interception without throwing a touchdown. Jones added 49 rushing yards on five carries, but also lost a fumble. Jones hasn't thrown a touchdown for two-straight […]

Devonta Freeman Will Make Giants Debut Sunday

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman was just signed this week, but he'll officially be active for Sunday's meeting with a banged-up 49ers Defense. Freeman's a risky fantasy option for this week as he works his way into being part of a new team, but at some point this season, Freeman's going to be […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 3 - Daily Fantasy Football

Week 2 was chaotic, to say the least. Although some players were lucky to avoid being seriously injured last Sunday, others weren't so fortunate as Saquon Barkley, Nick Bosa, and Courtland Sutton will miss the remainder of the year. While those injuries alone are discouraging enough, there are also a ton of notable players who […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season is in the books and the wide receiver position was a little unpredictable. Out of all the wide receivers referenced in last week's wide receiver matchup article, Terry McLaurin finished as WR-4, Mike Evans was WR-5 and Diontae Johnson was WR-6, so we were alright with those calls.  Mitchell Trubisky […]

About ten minutes into Week 2, it became clear that the week for fantasy teams would simply be a matter of luck and survival. Some of the NFL's top players on both offense and defense went down with season-ending or multi-week injuries, drastically changing a number of matchups in mere minutes. While injuries are part […]

Woos and Boos - Starts and Sits for Week 3 Lineups

Through two weeks of fantasy football, it has quickly become apparent that success in 2020 may be about avoiding the massive injury bug as much as having a potent roster. Players seem to be going down at a rapid rate as we have lost some of the superstars in the game early on. With Saquon […]

Week 3 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 2 is over, and there were some fireworks involved in just about every game. Kickers had some big performances with the top three marks each clearing 15 points for the week. As we get deeper into the season, these rankings are going to get a bit easier as teams really settle in, however, with […]

Fantasy Football Booms and Busts - Week 3

Fantasy football players have learned a lot through two weeks of the 2020 NFL season. The most important lesson is that you better be prepared if your fantasy squad suffers a string of torn ACLs, hamstring pulls and concussions. New York’s Saquon Barkley is out for the season with a torn ACL, while Carolina’s Christian […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

Week 2 saw another great day of action, but some teams will begin looking very different after devastating injuries across the league. Saquon Barkley, Nick Bosa, Courtland Sutton, are all out for the season with torn ACLs. Malik Hooker is done with a torn Achilles. Christian McCaffrey and Drew Lock will miss some time. Jimmy Garoppolo […]

Evan Engram Looking To Get Going In 2020

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has struggled thus far in 2020 and things won't get easier in Week 3 versus San Francisco. The 49ers won't be at full strength on defense after several injuries in Week 2, but they have still allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends through two weeks. […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Bounce-Back In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a letdown game in Week 2 with just 33 yards after he exploded for 100-plus yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Slayton should be in a position to see more targets this week as Sterling Shepard (toe) was placed on Injured Reserve. New York has struggled […]

Golden Tate A Dart-Throw Flex Option In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate should see a bigger target share in Week 3 with Sterling Shepard (toe) on Injured Reserve. That being said, it would be tough for fantasy managers to start Tate this week as he had just five targets for 47 yards in his first game of the season last […]

Giants Defense Has Solid Matchup In Week 3

The New York Giants Defense will have streaming appeal versus a banged-up 49ers team in Week 3. The Giants Defense hasn't shown much through two weeks to warrant consideration in fantasy, but they are playable as a low-end starter this week. The 49ers will be without starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo and superstar tight end George […]

Wayne Gallman Still Third In Giants Backfield

New York running back Wayne Gallman was a hot waiver wire pick-up in 2019 when Saquon Barkley went down with an injury, but won't have the same role this time around. Gallman was inactive in Week 2 and Dion Lewis took over RB1 duties after Barkley's injury. Lewis should still be ahead of Gallman in […]

Devonta Freeman Set To Play First Game For Giants

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman signed with the team on Tuesday and will immediately be thrust into action vs the 49ers this Sunday. Freeman is a former Pro-Bowler with the Falcons but has battled various injuries over the past couple of seasons. He spent the entire offseason as a free agent and signed […]
