What Has The Giants DST Done in 2022?

The Giants have been a middling defensive unit to this point in 2022. They are allowing just 19.6 points per game this year, which places them at eighth in the NFL.

From a fantasy perspective, they currently stand 20th in the league in average fantasy points per game at 5.6.

Should I Start The Giants DST In Week 10 Fantasy Football?

While this Giants defense has been mediocre from a fantasy perspective this season, they deserve streaming consideration in Week 10 thanks to their home matchup against the Houston Texans.

Second-year Houston QB Davis Mills has failed to progress in his sophomore NFL campaign and his eight INTs are the second-most in the NFL through Week 9. Mills' turnover issues could point towards a spike week for a New York secondary that has just one INT this season.

While a home matchup against the woeful Texans is certainly notable, fantasy GMs should tread carefully here. The Giants DST unit has yet to prove itself as a true fantasy asset. Fantasy managers in desperate need of a DST streamer can utilize New York in this spot, but the Giants' DST shouldn't be considered a high-priority option.
