Darius 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 […]

Austin 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 […]

Dion Lewis Ineffective Again In Win

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis played sparingly again in a win versus Washington on Sunday. Lewis mustered just five yards on only three carries and added 16 yards on two catches in the passing game. With Devonta Freeman (ankle) poised to return from injury, Lewis should get pushed further into the abyss in […]

Alfred Morris Runs For 67 Yards Versus Former Team

New York Giants running back Alfred Morris handled nine carries for 67 yards in a win at Washington on Sunday. Morris caught his only target to add four receiving yards. It was impressive to see Morris running this well against his former team as his 7.4 yards-per-carry is easily a season-high for the veteran running […]

Wayne Gallman Scores For Third-Straight Game

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman found the end zone for the third-straight game while rushing for a season-high 68 yards in a win at Washington on Sunday. Gallman added one catch for nine yards in his best game of the season for fantasy. The Clemson Tiger has been good filling in for Devonta […]

Daniel Jones Efficient In Win Versus Washington

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones went 23-for-34 passing for 212 yards with a touchdown in a win at Washington on Sunday. Jones added four yards on six rushing attempts and fumbled twice, but both were recovered by New York to give Jones his first turnover-free game this season. If Jones can limit the turnovers, […]

Giants Declined Trade Offers For Evan Engram

The New York Giants received multiple inquiries and offers for tight end Evan Engram at the trade deadline last week, according to sources.

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 9

Washington Poses Tough Test For Sterling Shepard

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been productive since returning from injury but will face a stiff test Sunday in Washington.

New York has not been a good passing team this season either, making Shepard […]

Darius Slayton Facing Tough Matchup Sunday In Washington

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will have his hands full versus the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Washington allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers which is bad news for a Giants passing attack that ranks 28th in the NFL. Slayton has a couple of 100-plus yard efforts this season so […]

Giants Defense Can Be Started Versus Washington

The New York Giants Defense hasn't done much to be excited about in fantasy this season but they have a good matchup in Week 9 versus Kyle Allen and the Washington Football Team.

Evan Engram Still Looking For First Receiving TD Of Season

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been a disappointment to fantasy managers this season but could bounce back in a good matchup with Washington. Engram is third in the NFL in targets for a tight end so it is only a matter of time before he turns those targets into fantasy points. Engram […]

Alfred Morris, Dion Lewis Not Startable Versus Washington

New York Giants running backs Alfred Morris and Dion Lewis will play a backup role to Wayne Gallman for the team's Week 9 matchup in Washington. Starter Devonta Freeman (ankle) remains sidelined so both backs should be involved, but not to the point where fantasy managers should consider starting Morris, who was on the practice […]

Wayne Gallman To Serve As Primary Back For Giants In Week 9

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman will be the team's primary ball-carrier again in Week 9 versus Washington as Devonta Freeman (ankle) remains sidelined.
