Playoffs Panic Room? Outlooks for Slumping WRs and RBs

As your fantasy football playoffs open, some of your projected starters have not performed up to expectations in recent weeks. But knowing their track records of production in the past and/or earlier this year, it may be hard to sit them. You want reassurance on some of these suddenly lackluster players before the postseason begins. […]

Evan Engram’s Status In Question For Monday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram left the start of practice on Saturday and went into the training facilities. His departure from practice alongside Daniel Jones (ankle) is cause for concern considering Pat Shurmur indicated on Friday that he knows foot injuries like Engram’s take a while to recover from. If Engram isn’t able […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 14

Week 14 is here, and the fantasy playoffs are rolling. Some people are on byes for the week which can help if you've got key players in bad matchups, but others are scrapping to keep their season alive. Real teams start at quarterback, and they're pretty important for fantasy as well. Quarterbacks have changed the […]

Darius Slayton Off Fantasy Radar

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is off the fantasy radar with Eli Manning back under center and Evan Engram (foot) and Golden Tate (concussion) back on the field. Slayton will now be the 4th option in the passing game (perhaps 5th behind Saquon Barkley) with a quarterback who hasn't played many games with […]

Sterling Shepard Loses Value With Teammates Back

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will see a downtick in value with both Golden Tate (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot) returning on Monday night. Shepard will move to the boundary receiver role with Tate back, which is actually a boost to his value, but there just simply might not be enough targets to […]

Golden Tate Likely To Return on Monday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) figures to be back in the lineup just in time for a juicy matchup against an Eagles secondary that has been susceptible to big plays to slot wide receivers. However, Tate has never played a game with Eli Manning under center since Manning was benched before Tate […]

Saquon Barkley Better With Eli Manning

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley figures to see a boost playing alongside former, and new, starter Eli Manning. It's not because Manning will make the Giants offense more effective, but because he's essentially a statue in the pocket. The Eagles run defense is 9th in PPR-points allowed to running backs, so Barkley isn't […]

Eli Manning Returns In Primetime Matchup

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will likely be under center when the Giants take on the Eagles on Monday night. Manning was not particularly good when he played early in the season and lacks Daniel Jones' mobility. He's also playing against an Eagles team looking to make up for an embarrassing loss to the […]

Daniel Jones No Longer In A Boot

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was seen at practice on Friday no longer wearing a boot on his injured ankle. However, he is still not participating but is on the bike and doing strength work. This provides even further confirmation that Eli Manning will likely be under center for the Giants this week. However, […]

Star Players Who Might Miss the Fantasy Playoffs

As we head into the playoff weeks of fantasy football, you'll hear many experts preach (correctly) the need to stash high-upside handcuffs or backups at quarterback or tight end. You'll inevitably hear about looking ahead three weeks for favorable playoff schedules and thinking less about what the player has done up until now or whether […]

NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 14 (12/8/19)

In Week 13, we came out even again. Baltimore and that first-half under in the Arizona game came through thanks to Arizona's lack of an offense. Minnesota let us down late against Seattle and then Jacksonville forgot where their offense ran off to. So, all in all, it could have been much worse. Week 13 […]

Golden Tate Practicing In Full

Updating a previous report, New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) is practicing in full on Thursday. Tate looks ready to return in Week 14 against the Eagles on Monday night after sitting out last week. With tight end Evan Engram (foot) also on track to make his return, Tate will be more of […]

Evan Engram, Golden Tate Practicing Thursday

New York Giants tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) and wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) are all practicing on Thursday. All three players have a chance of returning on Monday night against the Eagles, but they'll be tough calls in fantasy if they carry questionable designations and are game-time calls. Engram has […]

Daniel Jones Not Practicing Thursday

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday and is doing leg work in a boot with a trainer on the side. Dealing with a mild high ankle sprain, Jones is a long shot to suit up on Monday night against the Eagles and could also miss Week 15. It […]

Evan Engram Expects To Play On Monday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) said that he expects to play on Monday night against the Eagles after missing the last two games. Rookie Kaden Smith has benefitted from Engram's absence the last two weeks with more playing time, but he's been nothing more than a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2. Engram has been […]

Daniel Jones In Walking Boot, Likely To Miss Week 14

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is in a walking boot with a mild high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Eagles. Backup Eli Manning will "very likely" start against the Eagles in Week 14. Jones has been mostly bad in […]
