Fact or Fiction: Surprising Fantasy Football Performances From Zack Moss, Kyren Williams, Daniel Jones, more

Week 2 of the NFL is behind us and it's time to look ahead to next week's action. There were some surprising performances in the second week of the season, but were those surprising performances a sign of things to come for players? Every week, I'll be looking at three to five NFL players whose […]

Matt Breida To Be Involved In Committee?

With New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) sidelined for Thursday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers and possibly longer, expect Matt Breida to serve as the No. 1 back. Breida is a reliable veteran, but he has had more than 10 carries in a game only once since 2019, and The Athletic's […]

Fantasy Football Tight End Preparation For Week 3

In half-PPR scoring, we have exactly two tight ends with more than 17 total points. Hunter Henry is one of those two tight ends, so basically the tight end position is going exactly how we expected, right? Just pure, ugly chaos. Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce both missed Week 1. Darren Waller was limited in […]

Jason Pinnock Primed for A Breakout

New York Giants safety Jason Pinnock is having a breakout in his third season. Last week, Pinnock made 13 combined tackles against the Arizona Cardinals. This week, he faces the 49ers, whose opponents are averaging more tackles per game than Cardinals opponents average. Niners running back Christian McCaffrey is tough to tackle, and there is […]

It's that time of the year again, RotoBallers! We're back at it with some Week 3 Thursday Night Football DFS picks. We'll see one of the best, if not the best team through the first two weeks, the San Francisco 49ers (2-0) play host to one of the worst-looking teams through the first pair of […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Expected To Make Season Debut Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to make his 2023 debut, according to sources. Robinson is coming back from a torn ACL suffered in Week 11 in his rookie season in 2022 and he didn't suit up for […]

Parris Campbell Searching For A Productive Performance

When the New York Giants brought in wide receiver Parris Campbell this past offseason, there were hopes that he would emerge from a group of middling wideouts. Thus far in 2023, he's caught half of his ten targets for only 23 yards. His reception total mixes right in with the totals from fellow receivers Darius […]

Graham Gano Not A Strong Kicker Option In Week 3

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has only knocked through one field goal so far in 2023 and chances may be hard to come by in Week 3 against San Francisco. The 49ers' defense is one of the best units in football, meaning the Giants will likely have fewer scoring opportunities on Thursday Night Football. […]

Eric Gray Could Receive Backfield Touches In Week 3

New York Giants running back Eric Gray has been relegated to special teams duty so far in his NFL career but he could see some opportunities on offense in Week 3 due to the absence of starter Saquon Barkley (ankle). Veteran Matt Breida is expected to get the start and Gary Brightwell may mix in […]

Darren Waller A Safe Tight End Option In Week 3

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller is a top-five option at the tight end position in Week 3, despite a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' offense will have to lean on their veteran due to the absence of running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). Through two games, the ex-Raider has caught […]

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3: Elijah Mitchell, Tyjae Spears, Marvin Mims Jr., Jalin Hyatt, Luke Musgrave, C.J. Stroud

Only two weeks of the 2023 NFL season are complete, meaning the waiver wire still has some value ahead of next week's matchups. This won't last long in deep leagues, so picking up the right streamer or lotto-ticket bench stash is important early in the season. The top waiver wire adds are often obvious for […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3: Top Free Agent Adds Include Jerome Ford, Kyren Williams, Zack Moss, Roschon Johnson

We have now progressed into planning roster construction for Week 3 as you examine this week’s recommendations from the waiver wire.

Unfortunately, the numbers that were delivered by some runners only led to frustration. Many of […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3: Top Free Agent Adds Include Tutu Atwell, Marvin Mims, Tank Dell, Josh Reynolds, more

We're almost done with Week 2 in the NFL, though we've got a couple of Monday night games to get through still. This seems like a good week to need a wide receiver off the wire if you're in a 14 or 16-team league where you can take a stab at some speculative guys, but […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 3

It has been some really ugly football through two weeks, not only with the overall product that's been on the field but with the amount of injuries we've seen. Between these two, fantasy managers have been put in tough situations early in the year. With many players underperforming, managers are left wondering if they should […]

Isaiah Hodgins A Desperation Play In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins scored a touchdown in Week 2 but that opportunity will be tougher to come by on Thursday Night Football against San Francisco. The 24-year-old only has eight targets through two games in 2023, converting five of those for 64 yards. The Giants' offense may struggle to move the […]

Jalin Hyatt Looking To Build Off Of Strong Performance

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt kickstarted the team's offense in Week 2 and will look to get more targets in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie's first two NFL catches combined for 89 yards and helped the Giants come back from a 20-point deficit against Arizona. The 49ers' defense is […]

Likely Starter Matt Breida Faces Tough Defense In Week 3

New York Giants running back Matt Breida is in line to receive the bulk of the work out of the Giants' backfield in Week 3 with starter Saquon Barkley (ankle) sitting out. The matchup against San Francisco couldn't be much worse for the veteran. The 49ers have only allowed 130 rushing yards through two games […]

Daniel Jones To Carry The Load On Offense Thursday

Fresh off of the QB1 performance against the Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is now tasked with facing one of the stingiest defenses in football. He'll have to do so without running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). The good news is that teams are abandoning the run quickly against San Francisco through the […]

Hey, RotoBallers! We are here to sort it out with our Week 3 half-PPR tight end rankings for fantasy football as of September 21st.

Saquon Barkley, Andrew Thomas Ruled Out Versus 49ers

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring) have been ruled out for the Thursday Night Football contest against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3.

Saquon Barkley Considered Week-To-Week With Ankle Sprain

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport considers New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) to be truly week-to-week after spraining his ankle in the Week 2 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Brian Daboll said that Barkley is a "quick healer" and has made "considerable progress" in the last two days, so the Giants haven't […]

Week 3 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

While Week 2 was rough for some of my streamer picks, it ultimately served as a reminder of how unreliable metrics can be year-to-year. As I’ve said before, coaching staff and offensive line changes happen every season, and the smallest move can change everything. If a team loses one guard, the whole line can suffer. […]
