Dexter Williams (RB, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Opportunity trumps all else in fantasy football. With Jamaal Williams on the receiving end of a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit on Thursday night, it seems likely that Dexter Williams will now find himself with an opportunity for playing time this coming Sunday. While the […]

Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Finding a tight end to rely on is becoming increasingly problematic in deep leagues. The dearth of talent at the position forces owners to keep returning to tantalizing but underperforming options, like Gerald Everett, who has never quite matched the hopes many had […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: We keep saying over and over again that tight end is a wasteland. A few guys will pop for a week or two, but you really only have six guys that you feel confident starting every week: Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Zach Ertz, […]

Aldrick Rosas Not Asked To Do Much On Sunday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal, from 30 yards away, and converted all three of his extra points on Sunday. He’s simply a middling fantasy option with the Giants offense being average. You're better off looking elsewhere, even in down weeks.

Giants Defense Shines For One Week

The New York Giants Defense had a great fantasy day on Sunday, picking off Redskins quarterbacks Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins a combined four times. They were also able to record three sacks and dominated the Redskins offense throughout much of the game. Look, I’d love to tell you that this is a sign of […]

Jonathan Hilliman Operates As Giants Backup Running Back

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman operated as the backup to Wayne Gallman on Sunday, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards while also losing a fumble. Hilliman is not a fantasy-relevant player and shouldn’t be on rosters. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Giants bring in a veteran at the running […]

Sterling Shepard Consistent In Giants Win

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard continued to operate as rookie quarterback Daniel Jones’ safety blanket in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. He hauled in seven passes for 76 yards on his nine targets. However, he was unable to find the end zone. He did also carry the ball once for 23 yards, which shows […]

Evan Engram Quiet In Win

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was surprisingly silent in Sunday's win. He saw seven targets from Daniel Jones, catching only four of them for 54 yards. Engram, like most of the Giants offense, stalled out in the second half, which led to the disappointing final stat line. He's still an elite tight end […]

Wayne Gallman Effective In First Start

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman filled in admirably for Saquon Barkley on Sunday, carrying the ball 18 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. He added 55 yards and a touchdown on six receptions. Gallman is not a tremendously skilled player, but he can contribute at average levels in a variety of areas, […]

Daniel Jones Comes Back To Earth On Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones proved to be human in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. The rookie completed 23 of 31 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Jones added 33 yards on the ground, but this was a disappointing showing against a poor Redskins Defense. It’s a good reminder that, […]

NCAA Football Prospects to Watch: Week 5

After three weeks of the NFL season, there are already some fanbases that are looking ahead to next year’s draft. Don’t worry though, I’ve got you covered. There are a few interesting games on Saturday that both fantasy football fans and fans of dismal NFL franchises will want to tune into. Each week, this series […]

Not In Kansas Anymore... Players Struggling in New Spots 

If you’ve ever been the new kid in town, in school, or on a team, you know that it can be tough. You’re put on the spot whether you like it or not, and everybody is looking to see what you can do. Sometimes you shine and make a great first impression. That’s been the […]

Darius Slayton Is A Sleeper Option This Week

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton is an attractive sleeper option on Sunday against the Redskins. In his first game since suffering a hamstring injury, Slayton was third on the Giants with five targets last week, catching three of them for 82 yards. As Daniel Jones' preferred deep threat, Slayton could make for […]

Aldrick Rosas A Possible Streaming Option

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas comes into Week 4 as a possible streaming option against a poor Redskins Defense. The Giants' offense came to life under Daniel Jones, which suggests they should be able to move the ball well on Sunday. However, without Saquon Barkley, punching the ball into the end zone may be […]

Giants Defense Still Can't Be Started

Even though the New York Giants face Case Keenum and the Washington Redskins on Sunday, they are still not a recommended fantasy defense. They're currently the third-worst defense in fantasy, and you will never feel comfortable starting them. Don't try to talk yourself into it.

Sterling Shepard Gets Prime Matchup

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard came back from his concussion to lead the team in targets last week against the Bucs. More of the same should be expected on Sunday against a Redskins secondary that allows more points to receivers than any team other than the Giants. With the Giants' offense likely operating […]

Evan Engram Emerges As Elite TE Option

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram will get another week to cement himself as one of the best fantasy options at his position when the Giants face the Redskins on Sunday. A focal point of the Giants' passing attack, Engram is currently the number one tight end in fantasy after three weeks. With Golden […]

Wayne Gallman Gets Chance With Saquon Barkley Out

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will get his first start of the season on Sunday with Saquon Barkley dealing with a high ankle sprain. As of Wednesday, the Giants haven't signed any other running backs, meaning that Gallman will be backed up by converted fullback Elijhaa Penny and practice-squad call-up Jon Hillman. That's […]

Saquon Barkley Possibly Out Through Bye Week

New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, and there is speculation that the team could hold him out through the Week 11 bye. This would obviously be a deadly blow for both the Giants and fantasy teams. If this were to come true, it would put Barkley […]

Aldrick Rosas Has Fantasy Value Again

With the New York Giants finding new life under rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, it seems like kicker Aldrick Rosas has fantasy viability again. The Pro Bowler knocked in all three of his extra points and cleared the uprights on his only field goal attempt, from 36 yards out. If Daniel Jones continues to look at […]

Giants Defense Remains Awful In Win

The New York Giants Defense did everything they could to lose the game on Sunday. After Daniel Jones led the Giants to a go-ahead score with just over a minute left, the secondary inexplicably let Mike Evans beat them over the top. It took a missed 34-yard field goal for the Giants to hold onto […]

Wayne Gallman Takes Over For Barkley

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman took over for Saquon Barkley after Barkley left early with an ankle injury on Sunday. The only issue is that the Giants were coming from behind and didn’t use Gallman much. He finished the day with just five carries for 13 yards. The Giants are likely to go […]

Darius Slayton Impressive In First NFL Game

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton looked good in his first NFL game. After missing the first two weeks with a hamstring injury, Slayton immediately slotted in as the Giants deep threat with Cody Latimer (concussion) out. Daniel Jones looked his way for a few big plays, and it looks like Slayton has a […]

Sterling Shepard Looks Good In Return

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard looked great in his return from a concussion on Sunday, catching seven of his nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown. The big day may have been at least partially due to the Bucs secondary, but Shepard was also elusive in space and clearly has the confidence […]

Daniel Jones Era Begins In Style

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones played the hero on Sunday for the Giants. He completed 23 of 36 passes for 336 yards with two TDs and zero INTs, while also rushing four times for 28 yards and two TDs, including the eventual game winner with 1:20 to play. It’s hard to overstate how much […]

Saquon Barkley Possibly Looking At Multi-Week Absence

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is looking at a possible multi-week absence after suffering an ankle sprain on Sunday. The Giants are expecting him to miss “some time,” but there has been no indication of whether that means a trip to the IR or not. Obviously, it’s a massive blow for the Giants […]

Evan Engram Still Top Weapon For Giants

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram didn’t miss a beat going from Eli Manning to Daniel Jones, securing six of his eight targets for 113 yards and one TD. Engram made a ridiculous one-handed catch in the first half and looked like Jones’ first read for much of the afternoon, including on the final […]

Saquon Barkley Questionable to Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is questionable to return after suffering an ankle injury against the Tampa Bay Bucs. He suffered a minor injury earlier in the game but returned. This one appears to be more severe and with the Giants already down 25-10, they may choose not to rush their star back. […]

NCAA Prospects to Watch: Week 4

Another Saturday means another chance to check out the next crop of potential fantasy football stars. Some of the top teams have already started mixing in bye weeks, but there are a few interesting games throughout the day that intrepid fantasy football fans will want to tune into. This series will cover players featured in […]

Is Lamar Jackson This Year's Pat Mahomes?

Can Tony Pollard replace Zeke? Is T.J. Hockenson the next George Kittle? Is Lamar Jackson the next Patrick Mahomes? We’re driven to hyperbolic statements; it’s the nature of fantasy sports. Yet, while the rest of the owners in your league are losing their minds over every good or bad game, you should take a second […]
