Following Week 2, we now have to decide which 49er has a chance to return fantasy value on a consistent basis. A few key injuries may provide for interesting adds as […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

Week 2 solidified some waiver-wire adds as more than flashes in the pan, while other Week 1 studs followed that up with a flop. Whether you're coasting towards an easy 2-0 start, in the thick of it at 1-1 or up against it with an 0-2 team, you never stop improving. Stay tuned as injury updates […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season is (mostly) over. A lot of the best wide receiver performances from the weekend were from players who most folks already own, which makes it a bit tougher to navigate the waiver wire this week. This wasn't like Week 1, where guys like John Ross exploded and were no-doubt […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

It was another wild and woolly week of NFL football in Week 2, and while there are still no bye weeks to contend with, plenty of owners may be seeking to make a change at quarterback. Owners of Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger should be looking at free-agent quarterbacks, as both veteran signal-callers potentially face […]

Giants Decline To Name Eli Manning The Week 3 Starter

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur declined to name quarterback Eli Manning the starter for Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Manning went 26-for-45 (57.8 percent) for 250 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 2 loss against a tough Bills Defense. To be fair, Manning was without Sterling Shepard (concussion) and lost […]

Giants Defense Makes Improvements In Week 2

The New York Giants Defense looked better in Week 2 despite letting up 388 yards and 28 points to the Buffalo Bills. A controversial penalty extended a Bills drive, which resulted in a Frank Gore touchdown, so the final score could have easily been 24-10. The Giants were also able to sack Josh Allen three […]

Aldrick Rosas Misses Lone Field Goal Attempt For Giants

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas missed a 48-yard field goal attempt in Sunday's loss to the Bills. The Pro Bowler wasn't asked to do much during the game, knocking in both his extra points, but his lone field-goal attempt sailed wide left. The Giants figure to do more scoring next week against the Bucs, […]

T.J. Jones Effective In First Game With Giants

New York Giants wide receiver T.J. Jones made a good impression after being signed earlier this week. With Sterling Shepard inactive due to a concussion and starting wide receiver Cody Latimer leaving the game early with a concussion of his own, Jones was forced into the lineup and delivered three catches for 38 yards and […]

Bennie Fowler Emerges As Leading Receiver For Giants

New York Giants wide receiver Bennie Fowler led the team in receiving yards on Sunday, finishing with five catches for 51 yards on a team-leading 10 targets. As expected, the slot receiver was able to take advantage of the Bills being without nickel cornerback Taron Johnson, but he also left yards on the field with […]

Evan Engram Quiet Against Bills

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was held to 48 yards on six catches in Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard out with a concussion, the Bills Defense was able to key on Engram in the passing game. He was often shadowed by linebacker Tremaine Edmunds or safety Micah Hyde, which gave […]

Eli Manning Ineffective Versus Bills

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning struggled against the Bills on Sunday, finishing with 250 yards passing, one TD and two interceptions. Manning threw a handful of beautiful passes, including the touchdown to T.J. Jones, but he also made some awful throws and was unable to move the offense consistently. The veteran quarterback might be […]

Saquon Barkley Effective But Misses Out On Big Day

For the second week in a row, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley seemed on his way to a huge day after the first drive. The second-year back piled up 55 yards on the ground and a TD as he thrashed the Bills. However, the Giants Defense would allow the Bills to respond quickly, […]

Cody Latimer Suffers Concussion, Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the Bills and was ruled out for the rest of the game. The Giants remaining receivers are Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard, Cody Core and T.J. Jones with Sterling Shepard (concussion) inactive for the game. That's just plain bad. Latimer caught […]

Cody Latimer Active Against Bills

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is active in Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, Latimer will likely start opposite Bennie Fowler with Russell Shepard in the slot in three-receiver sets. The Giants will run their offense through running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram on Sunday […]

Cody Latimer Questionable For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and rookie Darius Slayton (hamstring) already ruled out, the Giants could be down to Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and Cody Core against a stout Buffalo pass defense this weekend. Even if Latimer ends […]

Sterling Shepard Ruled Out Against Buffalo

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bills. That was the expectation, as Shepard had yet to be cleared to practice this week. With Golden Tate still serving a suspension and now Shepard ruled out, the G-Men will likely use Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and […]

Sterling Shepard, Cody Latimer Miss Practice

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Cody Latimer (calf) both missed practice on Thursday. As things stand now, it's not looking good for Shepard's chances of suiting up in Week 2 in a very difficult matchup against the Bills.
