Golden Tate Has Good Matchup At Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate has struggled thus far in 2020 but has a good matchup in Week 5 at the Cowboys. Tate has just 14 catches for 103 yards in three games and has not scored a touchdown. Dallas, however, has been bad on defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Break Slump Versus Dallas

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been quiet for fantasy managers after a huge Week 1 performance, but he will look to bounce back in a good matchup versus the Cowboys. Slayton had 100-plus yards and two touchdowns in the first game of the season but has made just three catches in each […]

Giants Defense Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

The New York Giants Defense faces a brutal matchup in Week 5 and should not be started in fantasy. New York is among the worst teams in the league at forcing turnovers and now face a Cowboys offense that is the only team in the NFL to rack up 2,000 yards so far this season […]

Evan Engram Has Good Matchup Against Cowboys

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been a disappointment for fantasy managers thus far, but is in a good position to bounce back in Week 5. Engram has 35 yards or less in three of four games this season and has not found the end zone as New York has struggled mightily to […]

Wayne Gallman Not A Fantasy Option In Week 5

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman is still playing behind Devonta Freeman and is a long shot to make noise in fantasy for Week 5. Gallman was inactive despite being healthy in Week 2 when Saquon Barkley (knee) was injured and the team signed Freeman days later. New York has been using Freeman more […]

Devonta Freeman Looking To Get Rolling With Giants

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has the most touches of any running back on the team and now gets his best matchup since signing with Big Blue after Week 2. Freeman handled 11 carries last week while no other Giants runner had more than six. Freeman was also targeted in the passing game […]

Daniel Jones Looking To Get Back On Track Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has struggled mightily in 2020 but will look to get on track in a juicy matchup at Dallas. Jones hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 1 and has thrown five interceptions to just two touchdowns on the season. As bad as Jones has played, Dallas offers a nice bounce-back […]

The Cut List (Week 5) - Time to Let Go?

We have reached the point in the season where you will inevitably encounter players once featured in the “hold” category, be demoted to the “drop” portion of the entry. As the sample size of games increases, it will be harder to recommend a hold on a “let’s see” approach. There are naturally exceptions to this, […]

Week 4 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

There were 17 quarterbacks that scored at least 20-fantasy points in Week 4 with Dak Prescott leading the charge. Teddy Bridgewater, Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold were some unfamiliar faces that cracked the top-10 this week, but other than those guys none of the big producers really surprised us. As a whole, tight ends weren't […]

Giants Defense Has Quiet Sunday At Rams

The New York Giants Defense had another quiet afternoon in a loss at the Rams on Sunday. The Giants limited Los Angeles to only 17 points, but they didn't do much else to help fantasy managers. Big Blue had two sacks and forced only one turnover. New York is near the bottom of the league […]

Evan Engram Has Six Catches Against Rams

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram made six catches for 35 scoreless yards in a loss to the Rams on Sunday. It was another disappointing effort from the fourth-year tight end, but Engram did lead Big Blue in targets with 10, so there is a silver-lining for fantasy managers. New York has a better […]

Golden Tate Invisible Again Against Rams

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate had another disappointing game for fantasy managers in Week 5 as the veteran receiver had just four catches for 20 yards. The Giants passing game has been among the worst in the league this season and Tate has been a big part of the disappointment. He has just […]

Darius Slayton Has Another Quiet Game

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had another quiet game Sunday at the Rams catching just three of seven targets for 48 yards. Slayton has caught exactly three passes in three straight games after putting up a 102-yard, two-touchdown effort in Week 1. On the season, Slayton has only 188 receiving yards despite that […]

Devonta Freeman Handles 15 Touches At The Rams

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman led the backfield in touches in his second game with Big Blue. Freeman rushed for 33 yards on 11 carries and added 35 receiving yards while catching all four of his targets out of the backfield. While Freeman led the backfield in touches, Wayne Gallman outgained Freeman on […]

Wayne Gallman Rushes For 45 Yards Against Rams

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman rushed six times for 45 yards in a loss to the Rams on Sunday. Gallman was not targeted in the passing game. Devonta Freeman led the backfield with 11 carries, but Gallman was the more effective rusher out-gaining Freeman 45 to 33. By rushing for 45 yards Gallman […]

Dion Lewis Handles Just Three Touches

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis had a quiet game Sunday in Los Angeles as the veteran running back handled just three touches versus the Rams. Lewis had two catches for eight yards and added a 10 yard run on a draw-play on his only carry. Lewis was behind Devonta Freeman (15 touches) and […]

Daniel Jones Has Third-Straight Game Without Touchdown

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had another brutal outing in Week 4 in a loss to the Rams. Jones completed 23 passes on 36 attempts for only 190 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. The pick was a backbreaker for New York as it came with 52 seconds left with the team in the […]

Devonta Freeman Will Start In Week 4

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman will make his first start for his new team on Sunday against the Rams. After receiving just five carries last week, it sounds like head coach Joe Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett are happy with where Freeman is in terms of the playbook. While he's not the […]
