Saquon Barkley Take Backseat To Passing Game On Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley's matchup on Sunday is tougher than it looks at first glance. On the season, the Lions allow the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs; however, a lot of that has to do with an earlier injury to defensive tackle Damon Harrison. Over the last three games, the Lions […]

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers

Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes. Devonta Freeman was ejected, and players like Will Fuller, Adam Thielen and Kerryon Johnson were both forced from their games very early on which hurt a lot of fantasy owners. The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]

Bennie Fowler (WR, NYG) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: The turns this league could take… Just after being released by the Giants in Week 4, Bennie Fowler was re-signed by the team after Sterling Shepard went on the concussion protocol to add depth to the wide receiver position.

Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is hard to trust Taylor Gabriel as a fantasy asset, the truth is that Chicago doesn't have a lot of weapons on offense as to not betting on him. The Bears receiving corps, other than for Allen Robinson, are made out […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

The better part of seven weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse.

Giants Defense Has Solid Fantasy Day

The New York Giants Defense had a solid fantasy day on Sunday versus the Cardinals. Their defensive line put little pressure on Kyler Murray, and they got abused on the ground by Chase Edmonds, but you don't have to be a good real defense to have a good fantasy day. The rainy conditions prevented Murray […]

Aldrick Rosas Misses Only Field-Goal Attempt For Giants

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made all three of his extra points but missed a 37-yard field goal on Sunday afternoon. Obviously the rainy conditions weren't ideal for kicking, but Rosas simply isn't getting enough opportunities this season to be fantasy viable.

Rhett Ellison Catches A Touchdown For The Giants

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison secured two catches for 33 yards and a touchdown on Sunday against the Cardinals. The Cardinals are the worst defense in the league against tight ends, and Evan Engram didn't come to play on Sunday, so Ellison was able to take advantage. Those were his only two targets […]

Golden Tate Leads Giants In Receiving

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate led the team with 80 yards and six catches on 11 targets. The slot receiver was expected to be a featured option given the sloppy weather and Patrick Peterson's presence on the outside, and he didn't disappoint. With Sterling Shepard likely to return from his concussion in the […]

Evan Engram Disappoints Against Cardinals

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram let down Giants fans and fantasy owners alike on Sunday. Going up against the league's worst defense against tight ends, Engram fell on his face with only one catch for six yards on five targets. Engram left the game briefly in the third quarter with a head/neck injury, […]

Daniel Jones Under Constant Pressure Versus Cardinals

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was let down by his offensive line on Sunday against the Cardinals. Jones was sacked eight times and hit 12 times on the afternoon. He had no time to throw, and the rainy conditions made it hard to drive the ball deep. The rookie signal-caller finished with 223 yards […]

Saquon Barkley Returns From Injury In Sloppy Loss

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley returned to action in Sunday's loss after missing three games with a sprained ankle. He rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries while recording eight yards on three catches. It was a rainy game with an incredibly slick field, and Barkley had his injured ankle […]

Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley Back After Injury Scares

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram are both back after earlier injury scares. Barkley exited twice to have his ankle looked at while Engram was evaluated for a head/neck injury. Both injuries seemed to scare beat writers, but now both players are back on the field. The rain is […]

Evan Engram Leaves With Injury

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram left Sunday's game in the third quarter with an injury to his head/neck. No more is known at the moment, but he appeared to be in serious pain. Engram has only one catch for four yards so far, and the sloppy, rainy conditions are really starting to cause […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 7

In Week 6, Julio Jones didn't score, but he came through with a decent fantasy day, going over 100-yards receiving.
