Giants Defense A Low-Upside Option Versus Dallas

The New York Giants Defense hasn't been good for fantasy over the last few weeks, but they have a decent matchup in Week 17 versus the Cowboys. The Giants defense has just one turnover forced and two sacks in the last three weeks combined. The game has a low over/under and will be played in […]

Evan Engram A Start-Worthy Option Versus Dallas

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has had an up and down season for fantasy, but he'll be in the starting mix for fantasy in Week 17 versus the Cowboys. Engram hasn't had the breakout many predicted at the start of the season, but he's averaging a healthy seven targets-per-game including seeing 17 passes […]

Wayne Gallman A Risky RB2 In Week 17

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has been disappointing down the stretch but will look to finish the season strong versus Dallas. Gallman, who had double-digit carries for seven-strait weeks before Week 15, has seen his carries drop as the New York offense has struggled with QB Daniel Jones banged up. As a result, […]

Golden Tate's Season Could Be Over

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (calf) missed practice on Wednesday, and his season could be over after being inactive in the Week 16 loss to the Ravens. Tate did limited stationary bike work with trainers on the side on Wednesday. The 32-year-old veteran has been a fantasy afterthought this year with just 35 […]

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (ankle) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (rib) were both among the players limited in practice on Wednesday, but they are both expected to play in the Week 17 must-win game against the division-rival Cowboys.

Daniel Jones' Mobility Limited

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday for the first time in more than a month, but he's been playing through a left ankle sprain and right hamstring strain. "I've played from the pocket the past couple weeks, and I expect to continue to do that until I'm healthy," […]

Giants Optimistic Evan Engram Can Play In Week 17

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (ankle) has his status up in the air for Sunday's game versus Dallas due to an ankle injury that he sustained in Week 16. Head coach Joe Judge was "optimistic" about Engram's outlook as of Monday, although there's plenty of time remaining in the week for the Pro […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sterling Shepard had been able to sustain a fantasy-WR3 profile for the first two-thirds of the season spanning from W1 to W12, but in the three games after that he just couldn't get anything right. The games against Seattle, Arizona, and Cleveland […]

Graham Gano Extends Field-Goal Streak To 29

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano made both of his field-goal attempts in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday. Gano made kicks from 31 and 42 yards away to extend his field-goal streak to 29-straight as the veteran kicker hasn't missed since Week 2. He also made his lone extra point in the contest. […]

Giants Defense Has Rough Day In Baltimore

The New York Giants Defense had a rough afternoon in Baltimore, allowing 27 points to the Ravens. Lamar Jackson shredded this defense who couldn't touch the reigning MVP who was not sacked in the game. A Logan Ryan fumble recovery would be the only fantasy production New York could muster in this lopsided affair. The […]

Evan Engram Goes For 65 Yards In Week 16

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram caught seven passes for 65 yards in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday. The Pro-Bowl tight end saw 10 targets with starting QB Daniel Jones (hamstring, ankle) back under center. Engram added one rush attempt for five yards. Week 16 was a perfect snapshot of Engram's season, […]

Darius Slayton Catches Just Two Of Eight Targets Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a miserable afternoon in Baltimore, catching just two passes for 26 yards despite eight targets. Over the last three weeks, Slayton has only nine catches on 27 targets. He hasn't had more than four catches in a game since Week 11. Slayton's 102-yard, two-touchdown performance on Monday […]

Sterling Shepard Leads Giants In Week 16 Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught nine passes for 77 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 loss to the Ravens. Starting QB Daniel Jones (hamstring, ankle) returning seemed to help Shepard, as Jones threw 12 passes in Shepard's direction. Shepard averaged 7.7 targets-per-game between Weeks 7 and 13 when both Shepard […]

Wayne Gallman Quiet In Week 16 Loss

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman handled six carries for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for 26 yards in a loss to the Ravens. New York fell behind early in this one and Gallman was phased-out of the game-script with the Giants attempting 41 passes. The silver-lining for Gallman is he […]

Daniel Jones Throws For 252 Yards At Baltimore

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones went 24-for-41 passing for 252 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Ravens on Sunday. The 41 pass attempts match a season-high for Jones who benefited from a pass-heavy game script and a three-yard TD pass in garbage time. Jones was questionable to play with a hamstring […]
