Likely Starter Matt Breida Faces Tough Defense In Week 3

New York Giants running back Matt Breida is in line to receive the bulk of the work out of the Giants' backfield in Week 3 with starter Saquon Barkley (ankle) sitting out.

Daniel Jones To Carry The Load On Offense Thursday

Fresh off of the QB1 performance against the Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is now tasked with facing one of the stingiest defenses in football.

The Atlanta Falcons defense allowed the Green Bay Packers to score 24 points in their Week 2 victory.

Younghoe Koo Kicks Four Field Goals In Week 2 Victory

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo went a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. That included the game-winning kick late in the fourth quarter.

Tyler Allgeier Sees Double-Digit Carries Again

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed the ball 16 times for 48 yards in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Kyle Pitts Quiet Again In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts caught just two passes for 15 yards in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.

New York Giants Defense Can’t Contain Arizona Offense

The New York Giants defense allowed Joshua Dobbs and the Arizona Cardinals' offense to score 28 points on Sunday. Unless you play in a league that rewards defenses for forcing three-and-outs, the G-Men added nothing for fantasy managers. The end result was a far cry from expectations this week. Dexter Lawrence and Co. ranked as […]

Darius Slayton Catches Three Passes In Comeback Win

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught three of his six targets for 62 yards in the team's 31-28 victory over Arizona.

Graham Gano Kicks Game-Winning Field Goal In Week 2

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano knocked through a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining to clinch a 31-28 victory for the Giants.

Darren Waller Pieces Together Solid Performance In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught six of his eight targets for 76 yards in the team's 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 31-28 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Football Week 2 Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Dak Prescott, Terry McLaurin, Joe Mixon, Jordan Love, more

Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season was far from pretty. In some games, it was downright ugly. For someone who writes a weekly busts column, it makes my life a little easier. But that's not at all fun for fantasy football, so let's go to bed and pray for more touchdowns and explosive plays […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

One week down, 17 more to go. Week 1 helped paint a picture of what we can expect from certain teams in the new year. In some other cases, we didn't learn a whole lot. There were a handful of significant upsets in Week 1 (Detroit over Kansas City, Tampa Bay over Minnesota, and Los […]

Should I Start James Cook in Week 2? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Usage. Opportunities. Touches. Targets. Snaps. In fantasy football, those words sometimes mean more than the actual box score when projecting the production outlook of players. Case and point, James Cook. The second-year running back didn't have a great fantasy performance in Week 1 against a stingy New York Jets defense. He tallied 46 yards on […]

Is Christian Watson Playing In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was tapped by many (including me) as a potential breakout candidate in 2023. It’s hard to become a star when a hamstring injury prevents you from seeing the field. Watson has already missed one game to start the season and a second is in doubt as we move […]

Graham Gano - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (ankle) was listed as a full participant in practice Friday following two days of limited work.

Is Raheem Mostert Playing In Week 2? Fantasy Football Injury Update

In 2012, the San Antonio Spurs rested a 36-year-old Tim Duncan for a meaningless regular season game against a subpar Philadelphia 76ers team. Resting wasn't unusual at that point in Duncan's career, but the reasoning listed on the box score was. Coach Gregg Popovich poked some fun at his All-NBA forward by calling him old. […]

Jalin Hyatt - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is still seeking the first catch of his NFL career as he heads into Week 2. The rookie saw just one of Daniel Jones' 28 attempts in Week 1 while playing 36 percent of the snaps. The third-round pick could see some plays schemed for him against the […]

Parris Campbell - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell tied with Darius Slayton for the team lead in snap percentage at the position in Week 1. However, he secured just one catch for two yards.

Isaiah Hodgins - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New York Giants' passing attack looks to regroup in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, and that includes wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins. The 24-year-old caught just one pass for 24 yards in Week 1, a play on which he lost a fumble. Quarterback Daniel Jones only threw for 104 yards on Sunday Night Football […]

Giants Defense - Week 2 Outlook For Fantasy Football

The New York Giants' defense struggled against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, but this team is not lacking talent on that side of the football. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is coming off of a second-team All-Pro season and they have a rising star in pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Those two and the rest of […]

Saquon Barkley - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is looking for a better offensive performance this week. The two-time Pro Bowl running back was the lone bright spot of a dreadful Week 1 for the G-Men, averaging 4.3 yards per carry against the Dallas defense. The rest of the offense had a net of 120 yards. […]

Daniel Jones - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has a prime opportunity for a bounce-back game in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals.

But they let up a rushing touchdown to Sam Howell, which is a stronger […]

Darren Waller - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) was a limited participant in practices on Thursday and Friday but insists his hamstring injury is nothing to worry about. He does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday. The veteran was the team's leading receiver in Week 1 but it still wasn't enough to give […]
