Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

If you're still playing fantasy football for any purposeful reason in Week 17, first of all, bless your soul. If there is any week that the waiver wire is not just useful but essential, it's this one. Several high-profile players will be rested, unknown names will emerge for a one-game showcase before crawling back into […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 17

The fantasy season is over for most, but some of you crazy people have Week 17  championships. If that's the case, then you'll have to navigate teams resting starters, shutting down injured players, and using second-stringers to see what they've got. The biggest name we'll likely be without is Lamar Jackson, since Baltimore has locked […]

Darius Slayton Leaves Game Early With Knee Injury

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton finished Sunday with zero catches after leaving early with a knee injury. The rookie wide receiver tried to play through it but just wasn't able to. The Auburn product emerged as a verifiable starting receiver in the NFL, so the Giants may be cautious with him in a […]

Cody Latimer Resurfaces For Giants

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer came back from the sidelines on Sunday after Darius Slayton left the game early with an injury. Latimer seemed to be a focal point for Daniel Jones on a few drives, finishing with five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. If Slayton is forced to miss next […]

Sterling Shepard Finds End Zone Again

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard found his way to the end zone again on Sunday, finishing with six catches for 76 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. He's missed a few games with concussions, but Shepard has been a productive number one wide receiver for the Giants, dispelling any notion that he can't play […]

Golden Tate Leads Giants In Receiving On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate paced the Giants' passing attack on Sunday, finishing with six catches on 11 targets for 96 yards. Tate has had an up and down first season with the Giants - filled with injuries and a suspension - but he has produced when he's on the field and is […]

Kaden Smith Finds End Zone Twice

New York Giants tight end Kaden Smith caught six of his eight targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime. Smith has benefited from late-season injuries to Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion). He doesn't figure to hold any future value for the Giants, but he could be a sneaky […]

Saquon Barkley Keeps Hot Streak Going

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley kept his hot streak going by destroying the Redskins on Sunday for 189 yards and a touchdown on the ground, plus four catches for 90 yards and a touchdown through the air. The second-year back finally looks healthy after an early season ankle injury, and he's teaming with […]

Daniel Jones Flames Redskins

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones returned from his ankle injury with fury on Sunday, torching the Redskins for 352 yards and five touchdowns in an overtime win. The rookie carved up the Washington secondary at will, completing passes to six different receivers and not committing any turnovers (although he did almost lose a fumble). […]

After a fantastic week with a 13-game slate last Sunday, Week 16 sees us drop back down to an 11-game slate thanks to the triple-header on Saturday.

Rhett Ellison Surprisingly Out on Sunday

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) has surprisingly been ruled out for Sunday's game despite practicing in full on Wednesday. That means Kaden Smith will get another start against a Redskins Defense that ranks 28th in PPR points allowed to tight ends. With all Giants wide receivers healthy, Smith won't be a safe […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 16

Golden Tate Better With Daniel Jones Under Center

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will see a boost in value this week with the return of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones. With Jones under center, Tate sees three to five more targets a game. However, that number hovers around six total targets in games where all three wide receivers are active. The game figures […]

Darius Slayton Will Be Big-Play Dependent

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will be big-play dependent when the team takes on a Redskins secondary that ranks 13th in PPR points allowed to wide receivers. With all Giants wide receivers healthy, Slayton sees between 17-20% of the team targets, which likely won't be a lot in a game that figures to […]

Sterling Shepard A Risky Option On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will be a risky option for fantasy championships on Sunday. The Redskins Defense is only 13th in PPR points allowed to running backs, and Shepard has hovered about 25% of the target share with Daniel Jones under center since Shepard returned from his concussion. With Washington a run-heavy […]

Saquon Barkley Looking To Keep Rolling

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will look to keep his momentum from the Dolphins win when the Giants take on the Redskins on Sunday. Washington ranks 26th in PPR points allowed to running backs, and Saquon looked explosive again last week, with some jump cuts and change of direction that we hadn't seen […]
