Week 2 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz
I tend to abide by a pretty simple rule when it comes to drafting players; unless something is unexpectedly wrong with them, I don't make a lot of shifts between Weeks 1 and 2 (or through Week 3, for that matter.) If you drafted Mike Williams and he didn't get as much target share as […]

Olivier Vernon Ruled Out
New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Cowboys.

Sterling Shepard, Wayne Gallman Off Injury Report
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) and running back Wayne Gallman (knee) were taken off the final injury report for Week 2 against the Cowboys.

However, OBJ impressed his owners with his 11-catch, 111-yard performance against the Jaguars. All things considered, Beckham's Week 1 performance was very solid with Jags shutdown cornerback Jalen Ramsey […]
Sterling Shepard Expects To Practice In Full
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (back) said he feels good and expects to practice in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Shepard should have no problem playing in Week 2 in a good matchup against a beat up Cowboys secondary. The 25-year-old had five catches on seven targets for 48 yards […]
Olivier Vernon Misses Another Practice
New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.

New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) will practice this week and there is hope that he can return soon, according to head coach Pat Shurmur.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2
Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 2)
Every season an overlooked aspect of fantasy football is how the offensive line performs for each team. We’ve seen how a poor offensive line can completely derail an entire offense and the skill players on that team--just look at the Bengals and Giants from a season ago. The offensive line can make average skill players […]
Evan Engram Could Be PPR Sleeper Against Cowboys
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram will look to get his season on track when the Giants take on the Cowboys in Week 2. Engram caught only two passes for 18 yards in Week 1 but should have more opportunities against the Cowboys. In two games against Dallas last season, Engram caught eight passes […]
Sterling Shepard No More Than WR4 For Week 2

In two games last season against Dallas, Shepard registered only […]
Saquon Barkley Remains RB1 Against Cowboys
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will try and deliver an encore performance after his 128-yard, one-touchdown Week 1 game against the Jaguars in his NFL debut.

Odell Beckham Jr. Gets Better Matchup For Week 2
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will take on the Cowboys Sunday night in Dallas for Week 2. Beckham Jr. was fantastic in Week 1 despite a really tough matchup, catching 11 passes for 111 yards despite being covered by the Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Beckham Jr. should be unleashed against a Dallas […]
Eli Manning Looking For Revenge Against Cowboys
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will look to put 2017 behind him when he takes on the division-rival Cowboys on Sunday night. The Giants offense struggled mightily against Dallas last season with Manning completing 60 of 84 passes for 448 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, leading to only 13 combined points in two […]
