Giants Defense Eventually Breaks Versus Cowboys
The New York Giants played the Cowboys tight for much of the game on Monday. Despite giving up 5.7 yards per carry, they had picked Dak Prescott off and not given up any big plays until midway through the third quarter. At that point, the Giants’ lack of pass rush against the Cowboys elite offensive […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas Leads The Giants In Scoring On Monday
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was the beneficiary of the Giants’ conservative playcalling on Monday night. The former Pro Bowler made all four of his field goal attempts, but none of them were from longer than 29 yards. The Giants inexplicably refused to take shots in the end zone despite coming into the game […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDarius Slayton Goes M.I.A. On Monday Night
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton let down fantasy owners on Monday with only one catch for six yards. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, it was assumed that Slayton would operate as the team’s deep threat. The only problem is that the Giants refused to challenge the Cowboys deep. If Shepard continues to miss time, […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoCody Latimer Catches Touchdown In Loss
New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer found the end zone on Monday night after he was left wide open for a one-yard touchdown catch in the first half. However, he finished the night with only eight yards on two catches. Latimer is not an option in any size league right now. This was simply […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGolden Tate Quiet On Monday Night
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate was another Giant with a quiet performance on Monday night. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, many people assumed Tate would be a feature in the Giants offense. Instead, he saw only six targets, catching all six of them for 42 yards, while adding 16 yards on one carry. […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoEvan Engram Has Another Slow Game
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was silent again on Monday. Ever since Engram has come back from his MCL injury, he just hasn’t been as productive. He finished the loss to Dallas with six catches for 48 yards on eight targets. Much of his lack of high-end success can be attributed to Daniel […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoSaquon Barkley Barely Avoids Career-Worst Game
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley disappointed for the second straight week. After a subpar game against the Lions, apart from one phenomenal run, Barkley ended Monday night’s game with 28 yards rushing on two yards per carry while adding 67 yards on six catches, most of which came when the game was out […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Underwhelms In Primetime
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was the victim of his team’s conservative play-calling on Monday night. Despite being in advantageous situations multiple times, Jones and the Giants turned to short passes and seemed unwilling to take shots down the field. As a result, the rookie totaled 5.1 yards per completion en route to 210 […]

With the college football season nearing its postseason, this will be the last edition of this article in its current format. Starting next week, we'll begin looking at specific positions of interest so that we can watch the games over the weekend and evaluate the players against one another at the same position. But for […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDarius Slayton Is A Low-Floor Dart Throw
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton becomes a less attractive option this week with Sterling Shepard likely returning from a concussion. The Cowboys allow the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, and Slayton will now be competing with Shepard, Evan Engram, Saquon Barkley, and Golden Tate for touches. It's not a recipe for success […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas Not On Fantasy Radar
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas should not be in fantasy lineups this week. The Cowboys have only allowed 11 field goals all year, and Rosas doesn't have a multiple field goal game yet in 2019. He shouldn't be in consideration for any season-long leagues.
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGiants Defense Should Be Avoided
The New York Giants Defense is one to avoid on Monday when they take on a Cowboys team that hung 35 points on them during the first week of the season. The Giants have been generating more pressure on the quarterback in recent weeks, but the Cowboys have an elite offensive line and the receivers […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoEvan Engram Could Be The Key For The Giants On Monday
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram finds himself in another tough spot against the Cowboys on Monday. Engram has been a disappointment since returning from his MCL injury and now gets more competition for targets with Sterling Shepard back from his concussion. However, now three weeks removed from injuring his MCL, it's possible that […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGolden Tate Remains A Sell-High Before Monday Night
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is still an ideal sell-high candidate prior to this week's showdown against the Cowboys. Sterling Shepard (concussion) has already returned to practice, which will cut into Tate's targets. Since the Cowboys are currently allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, Tate remains unlikely to deliver a strong […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoSaquon Barkley Gets A Challenge On Monday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will face a tough test when the Giants take on the Cowboys on Monday night. The Cowboys are currently 12th in the NFL in points per game allowed to running backs; however, their pass defense is even stingier, which means the Giants will likely have to succeed on […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Not Streamable On Sunday
New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones is off the streaming radar in single-quarterback leagues when he takes on the Cowboys on Monday. The rookie beat up on a depleted Lions secondary last week, but he'll find the sledding much tougher this week. The Cowboys come into the game giving up the fifth-fewest fantasy points […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoThe Forthcoming Resurrection of Cam Newton
After Kyle Allen’s 4-0 start as the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, many fans and analysts were clamoring for his permanent placement atop the depth chart. They believed Cam Newton was essentially finished and less efficient than Allen when he was actually on the field. Then Allen imploded against a tough San Francisco defense […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGiants Defense Serviceable Against The Lions
The New York Giants Defense continued to get pressure on the quarterback, sacking Matt Stafford four times on Sunday. They were also able to intercept him once and cause a fumble, but that’s where the good news ends. Stafford picked apart the Giants through the air as Detroit gained 375 yards of total offense. They’re […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas Misses Extra Point on Sunday
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas had another uneventful day on Sunday. He missed his first extra point of the season, hitting two of three, and didn’t attempt a field goal all game. He’s not on the fantasy radar.
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Lights Up Lions
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones took advantage of a depleted Lions secondary on Sunday, throwing for 322 yards and four touchdowns on 68% completions. The rookie desperately needed a good game after four questionable starts in a row. Jones has a long leash and will be getting one more option back next week when […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDarius Slayton Emerging As Deep Threat
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has become the ultimate big-play option with Daniel Jones under center after the rookie wide receiver caught two passes for 50 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the Lions. However, being a deep-play threat on the Giants hasn't led to consistent success, and Sterling Shepard (concussion) is […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoEvan Engram Saves Day With Touchdown
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram had another down game on Sunday, catching four passes for 40 yards. He did find his way into the end zone, making his game palatable for fantasy owners; however, it’s possible that Engram returned too soon for his MCL injury. He doesn’t look as explosive as he did […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGolden Tate Leads Giants In Receiving In Week 8
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught eight passes for 85 yards in his revenge game against the Lions on Sunday. It was a solid game in PPR formats, but not the blow-up game many people were hoping for against a depleted Lions secondary. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) likely to return next week, Golden […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoSaquon Barkley Salvages Day Through The Air
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley had an underwhelming but productive day for the Giants on Sunday versus the Lions. The franchise star was contained on the ground, totaling 64 yards and 19 carries, but he finally got involved in the passing game, catching eight passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. Although the […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoRhett Ellison Not Playable On Sunday
New York Giants back-up tight end Rhett Ellison isn’t playable on Sunday with Evan Engram (knee) still in the lineup. Ellison may have caught a touchdown last week, but the Cardinals game was sloppy and Engram was only in his first game back. Ellison may be an interesting stash in deeper leagues if the Giants […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoDaniel Jones Has Good Matchup on Sunday
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has another positive matchup on Sunday versus the Lions. The Lions secondary will be short-handed with Darius Slay out and Quandre Diggs traded, which should open up opportunities for Jones. The rookie hasn’t been particularly good since his first start against Tampa Bay, so he’s not on the streaming […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoPlayers to Buy Before the Trade Deadline
The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, which gives you just enough time to get ahead of your competition. The deadline hasn't historically been filled with a flurry of moves, but we're at a time in the fantasy seasons where the end of our benches should be filled with high-end stashes […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoNCAA Prospects To Watch: Week 9
Mock draft season is heating up with some big-name outlets making major changes to their boards – Joe Burrow vaulting into the top spot for some. While there is still time for even more changes, it makes for an exciting time to watch some of these guys rising up boards in order to see if […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoAldrick Rosas Is On The Verge Of Streaming
New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas is on the verge of being streamable this week against the Lions. The former Pro Bowler hasn't had much success this year and has yet to make more than one field goal in a game all season. However, he's in a good matchup. The Giants figure to move the […]
Eric Samulski 5 years agoGiants Defense Is Still One To Avoid
The New York Giants Defense is still one to avoid in fantasy despite the Lions being without starting running back Kerryon Johnson. Last week the Cardinals back-up, Chase Edmonds, tore through the Giants run defense, so Lions rookie Ty Johnson might do the exact same thing. If the Lions decide to go the air more, […]
