Week 9 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 was the toughest of the year so far with only four correct top-10 predictions after Tampa Bay notched seven points against the Giants on Monday night. That puts me at 40%, which is the worst finish of the season. Weather played a factor, with winds whipping over 20 MPH in a few games […]

We’ve made it to Week 9. Everyone pour one out because the NFL season is officially half over. We’ve seen more injuries to star players than I think we’ve ever come across before.

Golden Tate Won't Travel With Team

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will not make the trip to Washington for Sunday's game, according to sources. The decision was made to keep him back due to overall issues with his effort and performance. Tate will have a chance to return to the lineup in Week 10 against the division-rival Eagles. The […]

Washington Poses Tough Test For Sterling Shepard

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been productive since returning from injury but will face a stiff test Sunday in Washington. The Washington Football Team allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers through eight weeks this season. New York has not been a good passing team this season either, making Shepard […]

Darius Slayton Facing Tough Matchup Sunday In Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will have his hands full versus the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Washington allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers which is bad news for a Giants passing attack that ranks 28th in the NFL. Slayton has a couple of 100-plus yard efforts this season so […]

Giants Defense Can Be Started Versus Washington

The New York Giants Defense hasn't done much to be excited about in fantasy this season but they have a good matchup in Week 9 versus Kyle Allen and the Washington Football Team. Washington allows the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses so New York is a start-worthy unit during the height of bye weeks. […]

Evan Engram Still Looking For First Receiving TD Of Season

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been a disappointment to fantasy managers this season but could bounce back in a good matchup with Washington. Engram is third in the NFL in targets for a tight end so it is only a matter of time before he turns those targets into fantasy points. Engram […]

Alfred Morris, Dion Lewis Not Startable Versus Washington

New York Giants running backs Alfred Morris and Dion Lewis will play a backup role to Wayne Gallman for the team's Week 9 matchup in Washington. Starter Devonta Freeman (ankle) remains sidelined so both backs should be involved, but not to the point where fantasy managers should consider starting Morris, who was on the practice […]

Wayne Gallman To Serve As Primary Back For Giants In Week 9

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will be the team's primary ball-carrier again in Week 9 versus Washington as Devonta Freeman (ankle) remains sidelined. Gallman led Big Blue in carries last week and has double-digit carries in back to back games. Gallman also received the goal line work last week plunging into the end […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 9 (11/8/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Well last week couldn't have been much worse. Weather played a major factor in what I thought was the easiest pick of the week (LV/Cle over). The Rams totally dropped the ball against Miami, getting throttled on the road. Even aside from my bets in the article, it was the worst NFL week I have […]

Daniel Jones A Risky QB2 Versus Washington

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled so far in 2020 and has fallen off the radar for fantasy at the midway point of his second NFL season. Jones has just 1,666 yards with a 61.8 percent completion percentage through eight games while sporting a ghastly 7:9 touchdown to interception ratio. Now he faces […]

Devonta Freeman Won't Play Against Washington

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) will not play in Week 9 against the Washington Football Team. It will be the second straight game that Freeman will miss. Wayne Gallman should continue to serve as the G-Men's primary running back, with Dion Lewis being sprinkled in here and there. But Gallman should be […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Fantasy Statistics - Red Zone Targets (TE)

When you need a high-upside streamer at tight end, the decision doesn't always come down to target share or projected yardage. You're looking for a big play, preferably a touchdown to make your fantasy day. The prudent move is to find a player that is a relatively big part of the team's offense near the […]

Where Have All the Bell-Cow RBs Gone?

Picture this: It's not 2020 and you're not as old as you actually are. Instead, you're back in middle school, let's say seventh grade.

Tape Tells All: Sterling Shepard's Week 8 Performance

After a week off because of #life, we're back with another edition of Tape Tells All. This week, we're talking about New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who is looking pretty good since returning to the football field. Is he a consistent fantasy option going forward? Can we really trust someone in this Giants offense? Let's […]

Devonta Freeman Returns As Limited Practice Member Thursday

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) got back into the swing of practice Thursday with limited participation, a positive sign for his potential of playing Sunday against Washington. Freeman's absence last week paved the way for Wayne Gallman to take over primary duties out of the backfield, a role that he would reprise […]
