Saquon Barkley Effective But Misses Out On Big Day

For the second week in a row, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley seemed on his way to a huge day after the first drive. The second-year back piled up 55 yards on the ground and a TD as he thrashed the Bills. However, the Giants Defense would allow the Bills to respond quickly, […]

Cody Latimer Suffers Concussion, Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 2 against the Bills and was ruled out for the rest of the game. The Giants remaining receivers are Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard, Cody Core and T.J. Jones with Sterling Shepard (concussion) inactive for the game. That's just plain bad. Latimer caught […]

Cody Latimer Active Against Bills

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is active in Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) out, Latimer will likely start opposite Bennie Fowler with Russell Shepard in the slot in three-receiver sets.

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/15/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

The natural inclination after Week One of the NFL season is to react to the on-field information that was presented by the first games of the season. The challenge for statistical evaluation is that one game is a small sample any way you slice it. For example, how much weight to you put to the […]

Cody Latimer Questionable For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bills. With Sterling Shepard (concussion) and rookie Darius Slayton (hamstring) already ruled out, the Giants could be down to Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and Cody Core against a stout Buffalo pass defense this weekend. Even if Latimer ends […]

Sterling Shepard Ruled Out Against Buffalo

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Bills. That was the expectation, as Shepard had yet to be cleared to practice this week. With Golden Tate still serving a suspension and now Shepard ruled out, the G-Men will likely use Bennie Fowler, Russell Shepard and […]

Sterling Shepard, Cody Latimer Miss Practice

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Cody Latimer (calf) both missed practice on Thursday. As things stand now, it's not looking good for Shepard's chances of suiting up in Week 2 in a very difficult matchup against the Bills. With Latimer also questionable to play, the G-Men may be sending out Bennie […]

Warning Signs: Week 1 Review

Obviously, we cannot overreact too much to Week 1 of the football season. This said, the first installment of this series may be a little shorter than normal. Just because Mitchell Trubisky looks bad as a quarterback doesn’t mean you should drop him now and find someone else. So what if the Dolphins gave up […]

T.J. Jones Re-Signed By The Giants

The New York Giants brought back wide receiver T.J. Jones, who was one of the final cuts at the end of the preseason. While the addition of Jones himself isn't noteworthy for fantasy purposes, his presence might be a sign that the Giants don't expect Sterling Shepard to clear the concussion protocol before Sunday's game. […]

Sterling Shepard In Good Spirits

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) is on the field going through protocol steps on Wednesday and looks to be in good spirits. Shepard might be limited in practice, at best, but it's a good sign for his availability in Week 2 against the Bills. Even if Shepard plays, though, he'll be more […]

Giants Defense Gets Good Matchup In Week 2

The New York Giants Defense will be in a good matchup on Sunday against the Bills, who committed four turnovers last week against the New York Jets. The Giants weren’t able to get any pressure on Dak Prescott, so their sack totals might be low against an elusive Josh Allen. However, Allen is prone to […]

Bennie Fowler Could Feature In Good Matchup

New York Giants slot receiver Bennie Fowler could have sneaky value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Bills nickel cornerback Taron Johnson hurt his hamstring during last week’s game, and Jamison Crowder went wild, catching 17 passes in the slot -- 10 of them after Johnson exited the game. If Johnson isn’t able to go […]

Cody Latimer Likely To Start on Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer may be elevated to the team’s top receiver on Sunday if Sterling Shepard is unable to recover from his concussion in time. However, that may not be great news, as the Buffalo Bills would likely cover him with top cornerback Tre'Davious White, who held Robby Anderson to three […]

Saquon Barkley Gets Another Challenge on Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is in for another stiff test against the Buffalo Bills run defense that held Le'Veon Bell and the Jets to 68 rushing yards on 3.2 yards per carry. However, Barkley will clearly be a fixture in the Giants offense, as evidenced by his 119 rushing yards against a […]

Eli Manning In Another Tough Spot In Week 2

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is in for a tough day against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday after the Bills held Jets quarterback Sam Darnold to 175 yards passing on only 4.3 yards per completion. It’s hard to expect much better from Manning, especially if his top wide receiver, Sterling Shepard, is unable to […]

Evan Engram Figures To Be Giants Top Option In Week 2

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is in for another heavy workload as the Giants face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Engram was in on 76% of the Giants offensive snaps, ran routes on 82% of quarterback Eli Manning's dropbacks and saw 29% of the team's targets, the highest on the team by far. […]
