Eli Manning Remains Giants Starter
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that quarterback Eli Manning will remain the team's starter going forward. Manning had a season-high 399 yards in the Monday night loss to the Falcons, but he had just one touchdown and remains inefficient in the red zone. New York's brutal offensive line isn't helping his cause, […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Now Has Four 100-Yard Receiving Games
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught eight passes for 143 yards and one touchdown in the Giants 23-20 loss to the Falcons. Beckham Jr. sprung free for some huge chunk plays, including a 51- yard grab. The Giants offense has really struggled this season and head coach Pat Shurmur was caught on […]
Eli Manning Averaging Only One Touchdown Pass A Game
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 27 of 38 passes for 399 yards and one touchdown in the Giants 23-20 loss to the Falcons.

Saquon Barkley's 100-Total Yard Streak Ends At Six Games
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley finished the team's Week 7 loss with 43 rushing yards, 51 receiving yards and one touchdown. The rookie has begun his career with six straight games of 100 yards from scrimmage or more. But Barkley finished six yards short in Week 7 despite adding nine receptions and scoring […]
Week 7 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

Russell Shepard Questionable For Monday Night
New York Giants wide receiver Russell Shepard (neck) is questionable for Monday night against the Falcons. Shepard has just four catches on eight targets for 61 yards in five games this year, so he wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with, but his role was set to increase with Cody Latimer on Injured Reserve. […]

Evan Engram Practicing In Full
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) put in a full practice on Thursday. Tight end Rhett Ellison (foot), who missed Week 6, also was a full practice participant.

Giants Sign Corey Coleman To Practice Squad
The New York Giants signed free-agent Corey Coleman to their practice squad on Thursday, according to a source. Coleman was traded to the Bills by the Browns before the season and then was cut before signing with New England and being cut again.
