Should I Pick Up Emari Demercado? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

Déjà vu (noun): a feeling of having already experienced the present situation. Fantasy managers are likely thinking, wait, we've been here before.

"Bye-nado" Part 1 is here. Six teams are taking the week off.

Giants DST An Average Streaming Option For Week 7

One of the worst defenses in football for the first four weeks, the New York Giants have cobbled together two straight decent fantasy performances.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has seen his involvement in the offense gradually increase over the last four weeks.

After playing at least 60% of the offensive snaps in Weeks 1-3, he played a season-low 23% of the snaps against Buffalo. As a result, he didn't log a single stat.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) picked up limited practice designations this week but it's just maintenance in his return from a sprained ankle.

Should I Drop Geno Smith In Week 7? Fantasy Football Outlook

Geno Smith is not the quarterback that fantasy managers were hoping for when they drafted him in 2023. That much we know, at least so far. Last year's QB5 is QB23 this year, based on weekly averages.
