There's a quote by the late John Madden that goes “If you've got two quarterbacks, you have none.” In fantasy football, if you have three running backs taking work in the same backfield, you have none. It's extremely rare that even two running backs from the same team are productive enough to find a permanent […]

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller was the only receiving option that did much of anything in the team's 40-0 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but his stat line was still nothing to write home about.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano had one kick blocked and missed on a second attempt in the team's 40-0 Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The 36-year-old may not be to blame for either, as the snap on his miss wasn't perfect. He also did not get a chance to attempt an extra […]

With a change of scenery, fantasy managers hope Waller stays healthy and […]

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt isn't projected to see many targets in his NFL debut on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
