Giants Select Linebacker Cam Brown

With the No. 183 overall pick in the sixth round, the New York Giants selected Penn State linebacker Cam Brown. Brown was a team captain and two-year starter for the Nittany Lions in college. He's a tall and long linebacker who can play both inside and outside, which will give him a better chance to […]

Giants Take Oregon Guard Shane Lemieux

With the 150th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants have selected Oregon guard Shane Lemieux. A strong run blocker for the Ducks, Lemieux projects as someone who can help open holes for Saquon Barkley, though it’s hard to see him getting much playing time off the bat for the G-Men. He’ll […]

Giants Draft Darnay Holmes

With the 110th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants drafted UCLA cornerback Darnay Holmes. New York’s secondary has been in flux over the past couple of seasons, so adding another piece to their defensive backfield was a smart move for New York. Holmes’ size means that he’s best suited to play […]

Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

The NFL's virtual draft started on Thursday, and while there were some differences -- the virtual boos, the huge number of Zoom screens we saw, the mouths not matching up exactly with all of the words -- it was mostly just a normal NFL draft, with teams making picks and trades and analysts breaking things […]

Giants Continue Offensive Line Boost With Matt Peart

The New York Giants further strengthened their offensive line by selecting offensive lineman Matt Peart out of Connecticut with the 99th overall pick in the third round. Standing at 6-foot-7, Peart brings size, balance and great blocking to the Giants. It remains to be seen how big of a role the UConn product will have […]

Giants Add Xavier McKinney To Secondary

The New York Giants used the No. 36 pick in the 2020 NFL draft to select Alabama safety Xavier McKinney. McKinney joins the Giants after a first-team All-ACC junior season which saw him rack up 95 tackles, three sacks, four forced fumbles, and three interceptions. McKinney posted impressive numbers with Alabama but he lacks speed, […]

Andrew Thomas Taken Fourth Overall By The Giants

The New York Giants selected Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. Thomas is the first tackle off the board and was a consensus All-American at left tackle for the Bulldogs. He has a very high floor and should be an anchor in pass protection, […]

Leonard Williams To File Grievance Over Franchise Tag

New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams has officially submitted his case to the NFL Players Association, who will file a grievance on his behalf over the franchise tag. Williams was tagged by the Giants and signed the tag, but he was designated as a defensive tackle by the team, whereas he argues he is […]

Giants Unlikely To Trade Down

The New York Giants are unlikely to trade out of the No. 4 spot in Thursday's NFL Draft. General manager Dave Gettleman has been listening to offers, as quarterback-needy teams may be interested in trading up to get in front of Miami at No. 5, but it is being reported that the Giants will stay […]

2020 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

With the NFL Draft just one week away, smokescreen season is upon us. Most mock drafters agree on the top three picks, but the draft gets fascinating at pick No. 4.  The Giants could trade the pick to a team looking for a quarterback or sit tight and take the best offensive lineman or defensive […]

2020 NFL Mock Draft 1.0

There are less than two weeks until the 2020 NFL Draft. The league is gearing up for an unprecedented virtual experience, with some teams concerned about the security of the technology being used.

Early 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]

Leonard Williams To Sign Franchise Tag

New York Giants defensive end Leonard Williams will sign the franchise tag with the team. It remains to be seen if he will be tagged as a defensive tackle or as a higher-priced defensive end, but sources confirm that Williams will indeed remain with the team. He was acquired last season and Giants general manager […]

Gronk and Brady Reunited in Tampa Bay

Just two days before the 2020 NFL Draft was set to get underway, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stole the headlines and made a splash by trading for former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. He insisted that he wouldn't play for any quarterback other than Tom Brady, so the move to Tampa fulfilled his wish. When […]

Giants Won't Be Drafting Justin Herbert

While Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert is almost certainly the No. 1 quarterback on the New York Giants draft board, Yahoo's Charles Robinson is completely certain that they will not draft him at No. 4 overall in this week's draft. The G-Men are likely just getting some "just in case" evaluation on Herbert for down the […]

Giants Have Looked Extensively At Justin Herbert

The New York Giants have spent a lot of time researching Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, a process that has included video conversations with head coach Joe Judge. The Giants continue to look at all their options with the No. 4 overall selection in the first round, even though it's highly unlikely that they'll go with […]

Early 2020 Breakouts: Running Back

Breakouts happen every season for fantasy football. Sometimes they are expected and other times they are complete surprises. If you have one of these players, it is even more exciting than hitting on a first-round pick. If you are going against one of these players, it is like drafting David Johnson in the first round. […]

Giants Considering Trading Fourth Overall Pick

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said the team is "still discussing" the No. 4 overall pick in next week's draft, and he will very seriously consider trading back in the first round for the right offer.

Looking For Market Inefficiencies: TE Return On Investment

No matter which type of person you are. No matter which type of fantasy owner profile you fit into. No matter what, you're looking for market inefficiencies. Why pay extra for something that ultimately will yield the same results? The question you might be asking yourself, though, is the one regarding how and where to find […]

Tight End Best-Ball Tiered Rankings and Analysis

Just a year ago, we were bemoaning how boring the tight end position was in fantasy football. There was Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, George Kittle and a bunch of scrubs. Everyone else was lumped into an unappealing mass of nonproductivity. Then the season came and names like Darren Waller and Austin Hooper emerged as studs, not […]
