Giants Fear Torn ACL For Saquon Barkley

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) may be done for the remainder of the year. The 23-year-old got hurt during the second quarter of Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is officially active in Week 2, with the Giants taking on the Chicago Bears.

Top 10 Fantasy Football Busts for Week 2

With so much roster turnover in the NFL each year, it can be especially difficult to predict outcomes in opening-week matchups.

Week 2 DFS GPP Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel

Its Week 2 of the NFL season and time for everyone to overreact/ignore what happened in week one! My chalk stack hit easily, no surprise. To be transparent, my sneaky stack fell flat.

Sterling Shepard Looking to Stay Involved In Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Sheppard was a big part of the Giants offense in Week 1 and will look to carry that momentum into a road game vs the Bears. Shepard caught all six of his targets for 47 yards as he was the primary short-area target for Daniel Jones. If Golden Tate […]

Darius Slayton Looking To Keep Momentum Versus Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a huge game in Week 1 going for 100-plus yards and two touchdowns on six catches. Slayton tied with Saquon Barkley for the team lead with nine targets and will look to stay hot in a favorable matchup with the Bears in Week 2. Slayton had a […]

Giants Defense Not In Play For Week 2

The New York Giants Defense is not a strong unit for fantasy and managers should look elsewhere for a D/ST in Week 2. The Giants had just two sacks in Week 1 and only forced one turnover from a forced fumble. New York was gashed on the ground by Benny Snell Jr last week so […]

Evan Engram Still A Viable Starter In Fantasy

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was a massive letdown for fantasy managers on Monday night as he caught just two passes for nine yards vs Pittsburgh. He'll have an easier matchup in Week 2 vs the Bears and should still be considered a starting tight end for fantasy. Engram struggled in Week 1 […]

Daniel Jones Has A Better Matchup In Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled somewhat in Week 1 as he turned the ball over twice, but he also had some encouraging throws and will face an easier matchup in Week 2 at Chicago.

Saquon Barkley Looking To Bounce-Back Versus Bears

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley left fantasy managers out in the cold on Monday night as he ran for just six yards on 15 carries vs a stout Steelers Defense. He'll look to atone for that performance in Week 2 with a much more favorable matchup in Chicago. The Bears allowed the ageless […]

My […]

Golden Tate Questionable Against Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bears. Tate sat out in Week 1 against the Steelers, but he was much more active in practice on Friday than he was last week. Even if the 32-year-old plays this weekend, there are likely better flex options […]

Re-Shaping NFL Depth Charts with Week 1 Snap Count Data

A common complaint heading into Week 1 was that some NFL teams had posted depth charts that felt a little...off. Some teams didn't have 11 starters. Some had guys who we knew were in for big roles not listed as starters. Things were not clear. After one week of actual play, we have a clearer […]
