Wayne Gallman Is A Borderline Option Versus Vikings

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will find the sledding tougher this week against the Vikings top 10-rush defense. Despite putting up big fantasy numbers last week, Gallman was only able to gain 63 yards on his 18 carries against the Redskins. His success came because he found the end zone twice and hauled […]

Daniel Jones Faces Stiff Test Against Vikings

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones will face his toughest test yet when he takes the field against the Vikings on Sunday. After four weeks, the Vikings are the 11th best fantasy defense against quarterbacks, giving up under 20 points a game to the position. Jones will get Golden Tate back for the first […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process. Unfortunately, many of you have endured injuries, disappointing output, and inconsistent patterns of usage with your runners. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have diminished your enthusiasm for some of the backs that […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 5

The year of the backup continued in Week 4, with Mitch Trubisky going down early against Minnesota and Case Keenum taking a well-deserved benching in Washington. These moves along with the already existing injuries to major quarterbacks means many owners will be looking for short-term and long-term options this week. We've got Detroit and Miami […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

A quarter of the fantasy football season is over. That means no more waiting around to make important decisions about the state of your roster. The short bye weeks continue, as the Lions and Dolphins will be out of action, neither of which should alter the state of the waiver wire much. That said, here […]

Giants Cut Bennie Fowler, T.J. Jones

The New York Giants released wide receivers Bennie Fowler and T.J. Jones on Tuesday in order to make room for wide receiver Golden Tate on the active roster. Linebacker Josiah Tauaefa was also signed off the practice squad. Tate will be active for the first time this year in Week 5 against the Vikings after […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 5)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: We keep saying over and over again that tight end is a wasteland. A few guys will pop for a week or two, but you really only have six guys that you feel confident starting every week: Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Zach Ertz, […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is a little mindboggling how recency bias can affect our choices. You just have to look at Eric Ebron's and Jack Doyle's 2018 season. Ebron finished the year with a completely unsustainable--albeit historical, one must acknowledge--stat line of 66 receptions, 750 […]

Saquon Barkley Considered Week-To-Week

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) "is eager and champing at the bit to get back," but the coach still considers Barkley "week-to-week." Barkley is already out of his walking boot and thinks he'll return on the short end of his four- to eight-week timetable, but it remains […]

Golden Tate Back From Four-Game Suspension

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is back from his four-game suspension on Monday for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Tate remained in shape by training in California with Chargers running back Melvin Gordon while being away from the team to begin the season. It's a big addition to New York's offense, […]

Saquon Barkley Already Out Of Walking Boot

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already out of his walking boot. Barkley said this weekend that he thinks he can be back sooner than his four- to eight-week timetable for a high ankle sprain, and this news seems to confirm that sentiment. However, the Giants will be extremely cautious with their […]

Aldrick Rosas Not Asked To Do Much On Sunday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal, from 30 yards away, and converted all three of his extra points on Sunday. He’s simply a middling fantasy option with the Giants offense being average. You're better off looking elsewhere, even in down weeks.

Giants Defense Shines For One Week

The New York Giants Defense had a great fantasy day on Sunday, picking off Redskins quarterbacks Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins a combined four times. They were also able to record three sacks and dominated the Redskins offense throughout much of the game. Look, I’d love to tell you that this is a sign of […]

Jonathan Hilliman Operates As Giants Backup Running Back

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman operated as the backup to Wayne Gallman on Sunday, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards while also losing a fumble. Hilliman is not a fantasy-relevant player and shouldn’t be on rosters. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Giants bring in a veteran at the running […]

Sterling Shepard Consistent In Giants Win

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard continued to operate as rookie quarterback Daniel Jones’ safety blanket in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. He hauled in seven passes for 76 yards on his nine targets. However, he was unable to find the end zone. He did also carry the ball once for 23 yards, which shows […]

Evan Engram Quiet In Win

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was surprisingly silent in Sunday's win. He saw seven targets from Daniel Jones, catching only four of them for 54 yards. Engram, like most of the Giants offense, stalled out in the second half, which led to the disappointing final stat line. He's still an elite tight end […]

Wayne Gallman Effective In First Start

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman filled in admirably for Saquon Barkley on Sunday, carrying the ball 18 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. He added 55 yards and a touchdown on six receptions. Gallman is not a tremendously skilled player, but he can contribute at average levels in a variety of areas, […]

Daniel Jones Comes Back To Earth On Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones proved to be human in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. The rookie completed 23 of 31 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Jones added 33 yards on the ground, but this was a disappointing showing against a poor Redskins Defense. It’s a good reminder that, […]

Saquon Barkley Expects To Beat Timetable

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already telling people that he can beat his four- to eight-week timetable in his recovery from a high ankle sprain. However, the team's training staff will make sure he's being cautious in his rehab. Take it with a grain of salt. The No. 1 overall pick […]

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time. No game in Week 3 encapsulates this more than Bucs-Giants. Tampa's stud wideout Mike Evans had six catches for 89 scoreless yards through two weeks. Then he […]
