Jonathan Hilliman May Lose Touches to Elijhaa Penny

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman seemed set to make his first NFL start on Thursday against the Patriots once Saquon Barkley (ankle) was ruled out. Now it seems as though the Giants may split those snaps between him and converted fullback Elijhaa Penny, who ran better than Hilliman last week. Regardless of who […]

Aldrick Rosas Not A Recommended Play

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas is not a recommended option on Thursday night against the Patriots. The former Pro Bowler hasn't made more than one field goal in any game this season and will be relying on Daniel Jones, Golden Tate, and Elijhaa Penny to get him into field goal range against one of […]

Giants Defense In Bad Spot on Thursday

It goes without saying, but the New York Giants Defense is not a usable fantasy option on Thursday against the Patriots. The Patriots are tied for the league-lead in touchdowns. The Giants defense has allowed the ninth-most touchdowns. The Giants' three best offensive players are unlikely to play, which means the offense won't be able […]

Golden Tate In A Sneaky Value Spot

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate may find himself in a sneaky value spot on Thursday night in just his second game with the team. With Sterling Shepard out with his second concussion of the season and tight end Evan Engram battling a knee issue, Tate may become the central focus of the passing […]

Elijhaa Penny May Be Giants Feature Back on Thursday

The New York Giants may turn to running back Elijhaa Penny on Thursday against the Patriots with Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) both out. Although Penny is listed as a fullback and Jonathan Hilliman is listed atop the Giants depth chart at running back, the Giants were apparently pleased with Penny's work last […]

Daniel Jones In Rough Spot Versus Patriots

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will be in a rough spot when the Giants travel to take on the Patriots on Thursday night. Likely without his top two receiving options, tight end Evan Engram (knee) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), Jones will be throwing to a depleted receiving corps and possibly handing off to his […]

Evan Engram Dealing With Sprained MCL

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is dealing with a sprained MCL after Sunday's loss to Minnesota. With the Giants playing on Thursday, Engram seems unlikely to play. His absence would be a major hit to an offense that will likely not have Saquon Barkley and just lost Sterling Shepard to another concussion. It […]

Aldrick Rosas Has One Field Goal Again

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal attempt in Sunday's loss. The Pro Bowler now has exactly one field goal in four of the Giants' five games this season. With the team not mounting a consistent offense capable of getting into field goal position often, Rosas remains off the streaming radar […]

Giants Defense Bends But Doesn't Break Often

The New York Giants Defense had its moments on Sunday in a 28-10 loss to the Vikings. With the team's offense not moving the ball at all, the defense was asked to stop the Vikings on a lot of short field drives, so the score could have been a lot worse had they not held […]

Darius Slayton Leads Giants In Receiving

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton led the team in receiving with 62 yards and one TD on four catches. He made a nice catch on a deep pass from Daniel Jones to haul in the touchdown and showed solid hands on another sideline grab. Slayton clearly has talent and can be added to […]

Jon Hilliman Does Nothing With Opportunity

New York Giants running back Jon Hilliman was thrust into the spotlight after Wayne Gallman left with a concussion. He predictably flopped, finishing with 20 yards on nine carries and four yards on one catch. With Barkley trying to return on Thursday, Hilliman should be left on waivers in all leagues. Even if Barkley misses […]

Golden Tate Quiet In First Game Back

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate was quiet in his first week back from suspension. He secured three catches for 13 yards on six targets and seemed to be a secondary option in the Giants offense. He was, however, operating as the team's primary slot wide receiver, which gives him value going forward. If […]

Sterling Shepard Misses Out On Huge Day

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard had a quiet game in the box score, but it was close to being so much more. Shepard ended the day with five catches for 49 yards on 10 targets, but he was wide open for walk-in touchdowns on two of those targets and Daniel Jones just missed […]

Evan Engram Struggles Yet Again

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had his second straight down week, securing six catches for 42 yards against the Vikings. Engram, like all Giants receivers, can only go as far as his quarterback takes him, and Daniel Jones really struggled today. It's also become clear that Engram is the Giants' best offensive weapon, […]

Daniel Jones Struggles In Loss

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. Once affectionately known as "Danny Dimes," the rookie signal-caller was sloppy and scattered on Sunday, completing 21 of 38 passes for 182 yards, one TD and one INT. He also had happy feet in the pocket and missed Sterling Shepard multiple times […]

Terry McLaurin Active For Redskins

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin is active today after missing last week with a hamstring injury. His reward is a showdown with Stephon Gilmore, one of the league's best corners. Oh, and his quarterback for today is Colt McCoy, who is making his first start this season. McLaurin will be a low-end WR3 […]

Devin Singletary Is Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is inactive today as he recovers from a hamstring injury. With the Bills figuring to be in a close game against the Titans, this would seem to benefit Frank Gore more than TJ Yeldon, who the team uses as more of a receiving option. Gore is a low-end RB2 […]

NCAA Football Prospects to Watch: Week 6

After last week’s exciting and eventful weekend of college football, this week, with its minimal top 25 showdowns, might seem like a letdown. However, there are still enough intriguing prospects to watch for both fantasy football fans and fans of dismal NFL franchises who are already looking towards the draft. This series will cover players […]

Saquon Barkley Already Back at Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was spotted at practice Wednesday. He was limited to stretching and light change-of-direction drills with the training staff, but this is a huge step in his recovery from an injury that many thought would keep him out eight weeks. The Giants will still likely be cautious with their […]

Darius Slayton Isn't Playable

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has likely seen his fantasy usefulness dry up. With Golden Tate and Cody Latimer returning, Slayton is now fourth on the wide receiver depth chart in New York. While he does offer a deep-threat element, he's simply not going to see enough targets to warrant being played in […]

Giants Defense Off The Streaming Radar

The New York Giants Defense is coming off a strong showing against the Washington Redskins, where they intercepted four passes and recorded three sacks. The Vikings are not the Redskins. For all of Kirk Cousins' flaws, he's only thrown two interceptions this season, and the Vikings offensive line has allowed eight sacks. The Giants also […]

Evan Engram Has Giants Best Matchup

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has perhaps the best matchup of all the team's receiving options. Although the Vikings have a strong defense, they have been beaten by top tight ends this year, allowing 9 catches for 77 yards against Austin Hooper and 13 catches for 134 yards against Darren Waller. With the […]

Sterling Shepard's Role In Question With Giants At Full Strength

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard heads into Week 5 with a few question marks. As the team's top wide receiver so far, Shepard has developed a strong rapport with quarterback Daniel Jones. However, he has also done most of his damage while operating out of the slot. That's the same position where recently-activated […]

Golden Tate Returns For Giants In Week 5

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will make his first appearance of the season on Sunday. After serving a four-game suspension, Tate will slide right into the starting lineup after the team released Bennie Fowler, who had been operating as the team's number three receiver and main slot option. The Vikings are a tough […]

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 […]

Dexter Williams (RB, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Opportunity trumps all else in fantasy football. With Jamaal Williams on the receiving end of a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit on Thursday night, it seems likely that Dexter Williams will now find himself with an opportunity for playing time this coming Sunday. While the […]

Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Finding a tight end to rely on is becoming increasingly problematic in deep leagues. The dearth of talent at the position forces owners to keep returning to tantalizing but underperforming options, like Gerald Everett, who has never quite matched the hopes many had […]

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, […]

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.
