Golden Tate Catches Touchdown In Loss
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown on Sunday.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton remained a large part of the Giants offense even with Sterling Shepard (concussion) back. Slayton was tied for second on the team with seven targets, catching four of them for 67 yards. The eventual return of Evan Engram will likely take another chunk out of Slayton's targets, but […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoSaquon Barkley With Another Disappointing Outing
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley had another disappointing outing against the Bears on Sunday, totaling 59 yards on 17 carries. The fact that he wasn't able to take advantage of a Bears run defense that had been hemorrhaging yards on the ground is not a good sign, but even more troubling is that […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Serviceable In Loss to Bears
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was fine in the Giants' loss on Sunday. The rookie went up against a tough Bears Defense and completed 21 of 36 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He added 27 yards on two carries. It wasn't a banner fantasy day, but Jones didn't make any bad decisions […]

Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas Remains Unplayable on Sunday
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas hasn't been much of a fantasy option all year, but he's certainly not going to be one against the Bears. Chicago has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, and the short-handed Giants offense will likely find it hard to move the ball against the Bears […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDarius Slayton In Tough Spot Even With Injuries
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton finds himself in a tough spot on Sunday, even with injuries to Evan Engram (foot) and Sterling Shepard (concussion). The rookie wide receiver has been a revelation as Daniel Jones' deep-ball option, but the Bears are the fourth-best defense in the NFL against the pass and have only […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGolden Tate Gets Tough Matchup
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will be a risky play on Sunday, even with Evan Engram (foot) and Sterling Shepard (concussion) possibly out. The Bears Defense has been 12th in the NFL in points allowed to slot receivers over the last four weeks, giving up only 39 yards per game and no touchdowns […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoSaquon Barkley Gets Sneaky Upside Game
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley gets a surprisingly strong matchup on Sunday against the Bears. Despite the widely-held belief that the Bears are an elite defense, they actually rank 23rd in PPR fantasy points allowed to running backs at 25.7 points per game. They gave up 29.8 points to Todd Gurley and a […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Not a Recommended Streamer
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is down his top receiving target and facing a top-five defense against the pass this week. That's all you need to know if you're thinking about playing Jones in fantasy. With Evan Engram (foot) out and Sterling Shepard (concussion) still not cleared to play, the rookie quarterback will be […]

Eric Samulski 5 years agoGiants Defense Fails to Step Up
The New York Giants Defense failed to step up in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets. Despite the Jets' offensive line being prone to giving up sacks, the Giants were only able to get to Sam Darnold twice and also forced zero turnovers. They only let up 294 yards on the day, but it was […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas A Non-Factor
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was a non-factor again on Sunday. The Giants scored 27 points, but Rosas attempted no field goals and missed one of his two extra points. He's simply not worth a roster spot.
Eric Samulski 5 years agoRhett Ellison Posts Modest Outing
New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison did little in his start on Sunday, catching all three of his targets for 42 yards. With the Giants on a bye next week, Evan Engram has claimed that he will try and come back for the team's next game against the Bears. If so, it will have […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGolden Tate Picks Up Slack For Giants
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate did his best to make up for the team's missing pieces by hauling in four passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Tate's eight targets were second on the team, and he beat the Jets a few times with solid yards after the catch. The veteran […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDarius Slayton Explodes Versus Jets
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton erupted for 121 yards and two touchdowns on 10 catches in Sunday's loss to the Jets. With Evan Engram (foot) and Sterling Shepard (concussion) sidelined, the rookie took advantage and led the charge for the Giants. Slayton has been winning on the deep ball this year, but he […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoSaquon Barkley Was Disastrous On Sunday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley fell on his face Sunday in a loss to the Jets. The second-year pro had just one yard on 13 carries and added 30 yards on five catches. There's not really much to say about this other than that Barkley just doesn't seem right since returning from his […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Dynamic In Loss To Jets
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was tremendous through the air for the Giants in Sunday's loss. He completed 26 of 40 passes for 308 yards and four touchdowns, shredding through the Jets secondary and making clutch throws into tight windows. However, he also fumbled the ball three times, including one in which Jamal Adams […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas Not A Fantasy Option
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas remains off the fantasy radar despite his big week against the Cowboys in Week 9. The Cowboys game was the first time Rosas had made more than one field goal in any game this year, and he came into the game with only six field goals in eight total […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGiants Defense Is An Intriguing Streamer Versus Jets
The New York Giants Defense might have finally found an offense it can take advantage of. They didn't have to look too far either. The Giants will face a Jets offense on Sunday that allows a league-worst 4.6 sacks per game, while their quarterback, Sam Darnold, has thrown nine interceptions against only six touchdowns. With […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoRhett Ellison On Deep League Streaming Radar
New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison finds himself back in the fantasy conversation with Evan Engram set to miss at least this week due to a foot injury. On the surface, the matchup doesn't appear to be favorable since Ellison only has 125 yards receiving on the season and the Jets allow the fourth-fewest […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDarius Slayton Gets Good Matchup On Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is in a good spot on Sunday with both Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot) expected to miss the game versus the Jets. The Jets gave up 38 points to Jacksonville wide receivers in Week 8 and 36 points to the Dolphins' receivers in Week 9. They […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGolden Tate In A Blow-Up Spot on Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate finds himself in a prime spot to go off on Sunday against the Jets. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot) expected to miss the game, Tate will likely be Daniel Jones' top option against a Jets Defense that ranks 28th against slot receivers, which is where […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGiants To Ride Saquon Barkley Versus Jets
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley figures to play an even larger role in the Giants' attack this Sunday with injuries to Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot). The Jets' offensive struggles will likely keep the game close, so Barkley should be active early and often on the ground, and his eight catches […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Is A Risky Streamer Versus Jets
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is a popular streamer this week when he goes "on the road" to take on the New York Jets. However, Jones may not be in as good of a spot as initially thought. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Evan Engram (foot) both likely out for the game, Jones will […]

Eric Samulski 5 years agoEvan Engram Not At Practice
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) missed practice on Wednesday with a foot injury. Ever since returning from his MCL injury, Engram hasn't been as dynamic, so it's possible that he's been dealing with multiple injuries. Missing a Wednesday practice isn't the end of the world, so we can't make assumptions about how serious […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoBennie Fowler Makes An Appearance On Monday Night
New York Giants wide receiver Bennie Fowler caught three passes for 22 yards on Monday night. Almost all of this was in garbage time, so there’s nothing much to read into this. He’s not rosterable in any size league.
