Sterling Shepard Back As Primary Slot Receiver

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard figures to assume his natural role as a slot receiver with Golden Tate (concussion) set to miss Sunday's contest.

Darius Slayton Back On Fantasy Radar

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton finds himself squarely back on the fantasy radar in 12-team leagues with Golden Tate (concussion) set to miss this weekend's game. Slayton will operate as the primary boundary receiver, a role that has enabled him to flourish as quarterback Daniel Jones' deep-ball target. The Packers have been limiting touchdowns […]

Saquon Barkley In Smash Spot On Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley gets a smash spot on Sunday against a Packers Defense that ranks 30th in points allowed to running backs in PPR leagues.

Daniel Jones Only An Option in Two-QB Leagues

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is likely off the streamer radar with teams no longer taking bye weeks.

Week 12 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!

Aldrick Rosas Was Brutal on Sunday

Kaden Smith Catches Touchdown

New York Giants tight end Kaden Smith caught a touchdown that likely helped zero fantasy teams on Sunday.

With […]

Sterling Shepard Leads Team In Targets In Return

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned from his concussion and immediately led the team with nine targets. Shepard's final stat line wasn't impressive, with five catches for 15 yards, but seeing him return to such a heavy workload is a good sign. He seems to have jumped Darius Slayton and Golden Tate in […]

Golden Tate Catches Touchdown In Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. He secured a nice contested catch in the back of the end zone and saw seven targets overall, but Sterling Shepard's return cut into Tate's target share.

Darius Slayton Remains Effective With Shepard Back

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton remained a large part of the Giants offense even with Sterling Shepard (concussion) back. Slayton was tied for second on the team with seven targets, catching four of them for 67 yards. The eventual return of Evan Engram will likely take another chunk out of Slayton's targets, but […]
