Golden Tate Back From Four-Game Suspension

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is back from his four-game suspension on Monday for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Tate remained in shape by training in California with Chargers running back Melvin Gordon while being away from the team to begin the season. It's a big addition to New York's offense, […]

Saquon Barkley Already Out Of Walking Boot

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already out of his walking boot. Barkley said this weekend that he thinks he can be back sooner than his four- to eight-week timetable for a high ankle sprain, and this news seems to confirm that sentiment. However, the Giants will be extremely cautious with their […]

Aldrick Rosas Not Asked To Do Much On Sunday

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas made his only field goal, from 30 yards away, and converted all three of his extra points on Sunday. He’s simply a middling fantasy option with the Giants offense being average. You're better off looking elsewhere, even in down weeks.

Giants Defense Shines For One Week

The New York Giants Defense had a great fantasy day on Sunday, picking off Redskins quarterbacks Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins a combined four times. They were also able to record three sacks and dominated the Redskins offense throughout much of the game. Look, I’d love to tell you that this is a sign of […]

Jonathan Hilliman Operates As Giants Backup Running Back

New York Giants running back Jonathan Hilliman operated as the backup to Wayne Gallman on Sunday, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards while also losing a fumble. Hilliman is not a fantasy-relevant player and shouldn’t be on rosters. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Giants bring in a veteran at the running […]

Sterling Shepard Consistent In Giants Win

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard continued to operate as rookie quarterback Daniel Jones’ safety blanket in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. He hauled in seven passes for 76 yards on his nine targets. However, he was unable to find the end zone. He did also carry the ball once for 23 yards, which shows […]

Evan Engram Quiet In Win

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was surprisingly silent in Sunday's win. He saw seven targets from Daniel Jones, catching only four of them for 54 yards. Engram, like most of the Giants offense, stalled out in the second half, which led to the disappointing final stat line. He's still an elite tight end […]

Wayne Gallman Effective In First Start

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman filled in admirably for Saquon Barkley on Sunday, carrying the ball 18 times for 63 yards and a touchdown. He added 55 yards and a touchdown on six receptions. Gallman is not a tremendously skilled player, but he can contribute at average levels in a variety of areas, […]

Daniel Jones Comes Back To Earth On Sunday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones proved to be human in Sunday’s win over the Redskins. The rookie completed 23 of 31 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Jones added 33 yards on the ground, but this was a disappointing showing against a poor Redskins Defense. It’s a good reminder that, […]

Saquon Barkley Expects To Beat Timetable

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is already telling people that he can beat his four- to eight-week timetable in his recovery from a high ankle sprain. However, the team's training staff will make sure he's being cautious in his rehab. Take it with a grain of salt. The No. 1 overall pick […]

Week 4 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As you've probably figured out already, fantasy football is a roller coaster ride. It's give and take. It's one step forward, two steps backwards most of the time.

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 4) - Targets and Avoids

Through three weeks of the season, it sure looks like we'll see a Patriots-Chiefs AFC Championship rematch. Both of those teams look unstoppable.
