The Washington Football Team defense had a huge day for fantasy managers Sunday, finding the end zone twice in a win over the 49ers. Second-overall pick Chase Young recovered a fumble and took it 47-yards for the first touchdown for Washington.

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic handled 11 carries for 68 yards and made two catches for 18 yards in a win over the 49ers Sunday.

Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoCam Sims Makes Just One Catch In San Francisco
Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims caught one pass for eight yards in a win over the 49ers Sunday. Sims had just two targets one week after exploding for 92 yards in a win over Pittsburgh the week prior. Given his inconsistent targets and questions at quarterback for Washington Sims can be avoided in […]

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr completed seven passes on 12 attempts for 51 yards. Haskins did not throw a touchdown nor an interception in relief of Alex Smith (leg) who left with "tightness and soreness" in his right leg.

Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoTerry McLaurin Quiet Again In Win Over 49ers
Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin had his second-straight disappointing game for fantasy, catching just two passes for 24 yards against San Francisco. McLaurin had six targets for the second-straight week after not having a game with less than seven targets in any game prior. It's fair to wonder if McLaurin is fully healthy […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAlex Smith Dealing With Tightness And Soreness In Right Leg
Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (leg) left the team's game Sunday against the 49ers and did not return. Dwayne Haskins Jr replaced Smith at quarterback.

The New York Giants Defense struggled to slow down Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins as the Cardinals' offense moved the ball with ease all afternoon.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton led the team with eight targets, but only managed to haul in three receptions for 31 yards. Slayton had just three targets in the prior two games combined so he's not someone fantasy managers should start in the playoffs. It's tough to trust anyone in the New York […]

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard had his worst game since returning from a toe injury in Week 7, logging just 35 yards on three catches. Shepard had been targeted at least six times in every game since his return, but only saw five targets in a game where New York threw just 21 […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoGolden Tate Makes One Catch Versus Arizona

Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDaniel Jones Struggles Versus Cardinals, Limps Off Late
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled mightily in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. Jones lost a fumble on the opening drive and fumbled three times overall.

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis rushed twice for 14 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. Call him the vulture, as Lewis scored on a one-yard plunge with starter Wayne Gallman standing on the sidelines. Other than the touchdown, Lewis was completely uninvolved as he had just the […]

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman led the team in scrimmage yards, but that's where the positives end on a dismal day for Big Blue's offense. Gallman handled 12 carries for 57 yards and added three catches for 16 receiving yards on an afternoon the Giants offense couldn't do anything. Worst of all, it […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoWashington Defense A Decent Option Versus 49ers
The Washington Football Team defense has been an up-and-down unit for fantasy managers all season, but they are a start-worthy option in Week 14 in San Francisco. The 49ers are an average matchup so Washington isn't a priority defense to start this week. However, a solid defensive line featuring Chase Young, Montez Sweat, and Ryan […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoGiants Defense A Risky Start versus Cardinals
The New York Giants Defense has fueled their resurgence to the top of the division, but they remain a risky option in fantasy. New York's defense has been good at point prevention, but are still just middle-of-the-pack in terms of sacks and turnovers. How well New York performs will come down to two factors: Blake […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoGraham Gano A Start-Worthy Kicker In Week 14
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has been a solid leg for fantasy managers all year long and is a start-worthy option in Week 14 against Arizona. The New York area is projected to be in the low-40's temperature-wise on Sunday, but without ferocious wind Gano should be fine kicking in his home stadium. The […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoJ.D. McKissic An RB2 Against 49ers
Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has been a favorite target of Alex Smith since the veteran took over as the team's starter in Week 9. McKissic has double-digit targets in three games with Smith under center and his 78 targets overall rank second to only Alvin Kamara among running backs. Now, with Antonio […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoPeyton Barber Should See More Work Versus San Francisco
Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber should be in line for more carries this week with Antonio Gibson (toe) ruled out for Week 14. J.D. McKissic will also be involved, but he is primarily a passing-downs back for Washington. Head coach Ron Rivera has been using Barber as the change-of-pace back to Gibson so […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoCam Sims Not On The Fantasy Radar Yet
Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims had a big game Monday in Pittsburgh, turning five catches into 92 yards. Sims' best three games this season have come since quarterback Alex Smith took over, and the veteran signal-caller likes throwing the deep ball to Sims. Despite the uptick in production, Sims isn't trustworthy enough to start […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoGolden Tate Not Recommended In Week 14
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate hasn't been good for fantasy most of the season and doesn't appear on the verge of breaking out ahead of the playoffs in most fantasy leagues. Tate has just three games this season with more than five targets and just two touchdowns in 10 games. Worst of all, […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoSterling Shepard Looking To Bounce Back Against Arizona
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard played his worst game of the season last week against the Seahawks but will look to bounce back against the Cardinals. Starting QB Daniel Jones (hamstring) returning to the lineup would help Shepard as he caught just one of six targets last week with backup Colt McCoy starting. […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoEvan Engram A Solid Start Versus Cardinals
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been a trustworthy fantasy option overall this season and should be started this week versus Arizona. Engram had a down-game last week with the Giants starting backup QB Colt McCoy, but signs are pointing towards Daniel Jones (hamstring) being back this week. Fantasy managers hope Jones returning […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoLogan Thomas Has Tough Matchup For Week 14
Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas will have a tough matchup in Week 14 coming off his breakout performance on Monday night last week. Thomas caught all nine of his targets for 98 yards and a touchdown as QB Alex Smith checked down to his tight end and running backs all night. Thomas has […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDarius Slayton An Untrustworthy Option Against Cardinals
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been a boom-or-bust fantasy option all season and has taken a back seat in the offense in recent weeks. Slayton has just three targets in the last two games, which he turned into just one catch for 14 yards. Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate have been out-snapping […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoWayne Gallman A Strong Option In Week 14
New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has been on quite the run for fantasy managers lately and will try and keep that momentum versus the Cardinals. Gallman has seen double-digit carries in six-straight games and has scored a touchdown or rushed for 100-plus yards in all six games. New York may have Daniel Jones […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAlex Smith A Desperation Play At Quarterback
Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith has been one of the feel-good stories this season, but his fantasy production has lagged behind his solid overall play. Smith threw for 296 yards in last week's upset win in Pittsburgh but it took the veteran QB 46 pass attempts to hit that number. Despite the high passing […]

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) was taking reps with the first-team offense Friday and signs point to Jones starting in Week 14 against the Cardinals.
