Joe Judge Optimistic Golden Tate Plays Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (knee) is expected to be back on the active roster in Week 10 against the Eagles. Head coach Joe Judge said he was "optimistic" the veteran receiver can play this week, but added he wants to see Tate in practice first. Tate was held out of last week's […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDarius Slayton A Boom-Or-Bust Option Against Eagles
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off a season-worst game last week in which he caught just one pass for six yards. Slayton has had huge games this season but has also gone invisible at times making him one of the more frustrating receivers to roster in fantasy. Slayton has five games […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoSterling Shepard Looking To Keep Momentum In Philly
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has asserted himself as the top receiving option for the team since returning from injury three weeks ago. Shepard has at least eight targets in all three games and will look to keep it up versus a beatable Eagles secondary. The fifth-year receiver played a season-high 78 percent […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDion Lewis, Alfred Morris Not In Play For Fantasy In Week 10
New York Giants running backs Dion Lewis and Alfred Morris are not startable options in Week 10, even with Devonta Freeman (ankle) expected to miss his third straight game. Wayne Gallman has been used as the lead back for New York with double-digit carries in three straight games, including 14 last week in a win […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoWayne Gallman Should Lead New York Backfield Again
New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has led the backfield over the last three weeks and should see enough touches to be a startable fantasy option in Week 10. Gallman has double-digit carries in three straight games in the absence of Devonta Freeman (ankle), though Alfred Morris and Dion Lewis have also been involved. […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDevonta Freeman Not Practicing Friday
New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) was not seen practicing during individual drills at Friday's practice. Freeman was expected to return this week for a divisional showdown with Philadelphia but reaggravated his ankle injury early in Thursday's practice. Not practicing again Friday is a bad omen for his chances of suiting up this […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoWill Hernandez Expected To Play Sunday
New York Giants guard Will Hernandez was back at practice this week after being cleared to return to the team. Hernandez missed the last two games while in quarantine after a positive COVID-19 test. Getting reinforcements on the offensive line should be a boost to the offense as a whole, as quarterback Daniel Jones has been […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDaniel Jones A Risky Start Versus Eagles
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones hasn't taken the next step in his sophomore season but played well last week and will look to carry that momentum into a divisional showdown with Philadelphia. Jones played his first turnover-free game last week in a win at Washington - though he did fumble twice - and threw […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAlex Smith Looking To Bounce Back In Detroit
Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith struggled in relief of Kyle Allen (ankle) last week, but will look to bounce back as the starting QB against the Lions. Head coach Ron Rivera announced Smith would start immediately after the quarterback tossed three interceptions in a Week 9 loss to the Giants. A full week of […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDustin Hopkins Limited On Thursday
Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Jokes aside how kickers are inherently limited participants in football, Hopkins has been a solid boot for fantasy managers this season. He had a perfect afternoon last week with two extra points and two field goals, including a 48-yarder. Head […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoWashington Defense A Solid Start Versus Lions
The Washington Football Team defense has been trending upward in fantasy and has another solid matchup in Week 10 versus a Lions team that could again be without top receiver Kenny Golladay (hip). Washington has been playing better in recent weeks with their pass-rush combination of Ryan Kerrigan and rookie first-rounder Chase Young, providing a safe […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoLogan Thomas A Risky Start Versus Lions
Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas will be a touchdown-dependent streamer for a Week 10 matchup with the Lions. Thomas has a low ceiling for fantasy as he hasn't eclipsed 60 yards in a game this season. When he gets in the end zone he returns value, but it's risky to start Thomas. Alex […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAntonio Gibson Practices In Full On Thursday
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday and will assume his lead-back role in a good matchup with the Lions. Head coach Ron Rivera said Gibson was held out of practice Wednesday as a precaution. Gibson has been losing passing downs work to J.D. McKissic, but both backs have […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoJ.D. McKissic Has Flex Appeal In Week 10
Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has been a weapon out of the backfield over the past few weeks and has another great matchup in Week 10. The Lions allow the most fantasy points to opposing running backs and have allowed five receiving touchdowns to running backs, most in the NFL. This bodes well […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoTerry McLaurin A Locked-In WR1 Versus Lions
Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been unstoppable over the last three weeks and will look to keep that momentum going in Detroit. McLaurin has seven catches in each of the last three games as he is one of the most targeted receivers in football with 9.6 per-game. That volume alone makes McLaurin […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAlex Smith Throws Three Interceptions In Relief
Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith was 24-for-32 passing for 325 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. Smith came on in relief of Kyle Allen (ankle) who left with an injury after a roughing the passer call. Smith connected with star receiver Terry McLaurin for a […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoWashington Defense Underwhelms In Dream Matchup
The Washington Football Team defense had an ideal matchup against a banged-up Giants offensive line, but could only muster five fantasy points in the contest. Washington pressured QB Daniel Jones all game long and racked up five sacks, but couldn't get anything else going as Jones played his first turnover-free game this season. Washington is […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDustin Hopkins Has Perfect Afternoon In Week 10
Washington Football Team kicker Dustin Hopkins made two field goals and two extra points in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. Hopkins made a 48-yarder to have a productive day for fantasy managers.

Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoLogan Thomas Has Quiet Day In Week 9
Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas wasn't heavily involved in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. Thomas had caught touchdowns in back-to-back games, but couldn't score in this one as Alex Smith took over under center when Kyle Allen was injured. Thomas doesn't have much fantasy appeal if he doesn't score as he […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoIsaiah Wright Catches Three Passes Versus Giants
Washington Football Team wide receiver Isaiah Wright caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. The rookie Wright was overshadowed by Cam Sims as the WR2 for a Washington team that has lacked receiver depth behind Terry McLaurin. Wright doesn't have much fantasy appeal in a […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoJ.D. McKissic Racks Up Nine Catches Versus Giants
Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic was heavily involved in a pass-happy game script against the Giants on Sunday. Starting QB Kyle Allen (ankle) was knocked out of the game and backup Alex Smith checked-down all day long targeting McKissic 14 times. McKissic caught nine of those targets for 65 yards. The running back […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAntonio Gibson Has Mixed-Day Versus Giants
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson had an up-and-down day in a loss to the Giants in Week 9. The rookie fumbled on his first touch of the game on a bizarre play that ultimately resulted in a turnover. Gibson also had some good as he rushed for a touchdown, but only had 20 […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoCam Sims Explodes For 110 Yards Versus Giants
Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims caught three-of-four targets for 110 yards in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. Sims seemed to have a connection with Alex Smith, as the veteran QB found Sims running free in the Giants' secondary frequently after Smith took over for the injured Kyle Allen. If Smith remains […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoTerry McLaurin Has Another Big Game Versus Giants
Washington Football Team Wide receiver Terry McLaurin had another huge afternoon in a loss to the Giants on Sunday. McLaurin caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown as the Ohio State Buckeye has been the only consistent weapon on this Washington offense.

Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoGiants Defense Has Big Day Versus Washington
The New York Giants Defense had a big afternoon Sunday in a win at Washington.

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram made a diving catch in the end zone to score his first touchdown of 2020 in a win at Washington. Engram had five total catches for 48 yards in the win while leading the team with 10 targets. The Giants offense has been shaley at times, but Engram […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoSterling Shepard Records Six Catches In Washington
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught six passes for 39 yards in a win over Washington on Sunday. Despite the low yardage output, fantasy managers should be pleased Shepard saw eight targets making it three-straight weeks Shepard has seen at least eight passes. He is the clear top-receiver in the Giants' offense making […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoDarius Slayton Vanishes In Washington
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had his worst game of the season in Week 9 at Washington, catching his only target for six yards. Slayton was blanked all day by a strong Washington secondary that allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Slayton has been a boom-bust option in fantasy all […]
Mike Schwarzenbach 4 years agoAustin Mack Leads Giants In Receiving
New York Giants wide receiver Austin Mack caught four passes for 72 yards to lead the team in receiving in their win versus Washington. Mack was playing as Golden Tate (discipline) was benched for the contest and Mack made the most of his opportunity. Mack almost had a bigger game, but his first-career touchdown was […]
