Rookie NFL Sleeper - Nick Chubb

Each year, there are several players who are undervalued following the NFL Draft. These youngsters are often thrust into competitive position groups, poor situations, or teams who didn't invest a first round pick as a glowing endorsement of their talents. However, for fantasy purposes, the recent increase in skilled and productive players out of the […]

Dynasty Rookie Rankings Update (Post-NFL Draft Edition)

Boy, the draft can seriously turn things on its head. Pretty much the only thing that stayed steady from the pre-draft process was that Saquon Barkley is the 1.01. And while there were some near-perfect landing spots, many intriguing rookies landed in non-ideal locations and the late second round has lost some of its shine. […]

Rookie TEs in the Best Fantasy Positions

Rookie tight ends are notoriously hard to project because so much goes into the position. Players have to be able to show NFL-level blocking and receiving abilities if they want to see the field early. While some succeed early, others take far longer. Last year was one of the most highly-rated tight end classes in […]

NFL Draft - Team Winners and Losers

The 2018 NFL Draft has come and gone and most of the teams in the leagues have to be excited about what they ended up with, even if that excitement is misplaced in some instances (*cough* Raiders). How we evaluate these picks will change between now and fantasy draft season, once we see training camp […]

Rookie RB Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

We spent all off-season trading for top first round picks and hyping this running back class. Most felt it was just as good, if not better than the 2017 class. The draft came and went however and I couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed by landing spots for a majority of guys. A lot of rookie […]

Rookie QB Rankings - Redraft and Dynasty

Even though the running back position was the deepest in the 2018 NFL draft class, the quarterbacks controlled the headlines.

Cody Latimer Worked With First-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer worked with the first-team offense during voluntary team workouts last week with Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) limited to individual work.

Most Improved Offenses After The NFL Draft

Free agency and the NFL Draft are really the only two events that have the ability to instantaneously and significantly impact NFL offenses. Whereas in free agency, it's somewhat of a zero sum game - one offense gets better at the expense of another getting get worse due to players shifting teams - in the […]

NFL Draft 2018 - First Round Reaction

Well, I said it was going to be a wild draft and it did not disapoint. 2018 had twists and turns around every corner. There were unexpected players to plummet, several trades that caught us off guard and some picks we may question for years to come. From a fantasy football standpoint, this could have […]

Giants Draft Saquon Barkley Second Overall

The New York Giants selected Penn State running back Saquon Barkley second overall in the 2018 NFL draft. The Giants weren't about to let Barkley get past them at No. 2. With Eli Manning aging and declining rapidly, the G-Men want to upgrade their backfield to make it easier on him. Barkley is arguably the […]

Paul Perkins Needed Surgery For Pec Injury

New York Giants running back Paul Perkins (pectoral) required surgery for his pectoral injury that he suffered while working out before the team's offseason workouts, according to a source. There is no timetable for how long he'll be sidelined. It's not good news for a running back that was looking at a decreased role heading […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Taking Part In Individual Drills

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was seen catching passes and doing non-contact work in individual drills Thursday. It's a great sign for OBJ, and he should be able to take part in organized team activities, assuming he suffers no setbacks. After some trade speculation this offseason, it looks like Beckham isn't […]

Paul Perkins Dealing With Pec Injury

New York Giants running back Paul Perkins (pectoral) injured his pectoral while training in the offseason, and his arm is in a sling during the team's workouts this week.

Odell Beckham Jr. Will Be With Team In 2018

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will "absolutely" be a part of the team in 2018. Beckham isn't ready to physically take part in the team's voluntary minicamp, but it's a great sign that he's even present as the two sides try to work out a long-term contract […]

Odell Beckham Jr. At Team's Minicamp

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) was present at the team's voluntary minicamp on Tuesday, but he is still not 100 percent from his ankle surgery last year, according to a team source. OBJ won't take part in all of practice, but it's a good sign he's even there while he continues […]

Giants Taking A Long Look At Davis Webb

The New York Giants and head coach Pat Shurmur plan to evaluate quarterback Davis Webb during the team's three-day minicamp that starts Tuesday.

Giants Releasing Brandon Marshall

The New York Giants are releasing wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Thursday, according to a source. This isn't a big surprise after the colorful receiver had just 18 catches for 154 yards and no touchdowns in five games in his only season with the Giants before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

Saquon Barkley Inevitably Going To Giants?

ESPN's Todd McShay said it's looking like the New York Giants are dead set on selecting Penn State running back Saquon Barkley at second overall if the Browns pass on him.

Giants Unlikely To Take QB At No. 2 Overall

It appears unlikely that the New York Giants will draft a quarterback second overall. By the end of their process of evaluating the top QB prospects in the draft class, the body of work of Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen is not commensurate with what the Giants require the No. 2 […]

Giants Not Expected To Pursue Dez Bryant

The New York Giants are unlikely to pursue free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, in the opinion of SNY's Ralph Vacchiano. However, Bryant seemed intent on staying in the NFC East in order to face the Cowboys twice a year after his release. The Giants don't have enough current salary cap space to take on Bryant, […]

2018 NFL Draft - Ideal Landing Spots for Fantasy Football

With the NFL Draft just a few weeks away, it's anybody's guess where the top skill position prospects will land come draft day.

Landon Collins May Need Surgery

New York Giants safety Landon Collins' arm isn't healing as quickly as doctors had hoped, and he may need surgery to insert a plate, according to sources. If he needs the surgery, he'll likely need six to eight weeks to return to full football activities. That'd mean that Collins would miss offseason workouts but be […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Expected To Be Traded

Teams around the league no longer think the New York Giants will trade wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. before or during the NFL draft, according to sources. Several weeks ago it looked like a real possibility that the Giants would deal the talented receiver, but things changed when they were asking for two first-rounders in […]

Giants Like Sam Darnold

The New York Giants have the No. 2 overall pick in this month's draft and are expected to select USC quarterback Sam Darnold if he's available, according to an NFL talent evaluator. "They don't like Josh Rosen," the evaluator said. However, the Browns could easily take Darnold at first overall, making the Giants go in […]
