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. […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 2

Each week in this column, we'll highlight a few first-year players who are worth keeping your eye on. Not all of the players listed below are must-starts, but all of them are in a position to be viable fantasy options. If any of these names are sitting out on your waiver wire, you should keep […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 2

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 2 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these free agent players will […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Well, an exciting Week 1 is almost in the books, with just two Monday night games left on the docket. Sunday was a day of surprising performances, headlined by Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown catching a pair of deep touchdowns. Welcome to RotoBaller's NFL wide receiver waiver wire article. Let's try to make […]

Week 2 Deeper League Waiver Pickups

The aftermath of Week 1 is generally one of the most important weeks to utilize the waiver wire. Even in deeper leagues, where there aren't as many obvious players to scoop up. Each week, we will advise you which players to snatch up from waivers in your deeper leagues. These players are owned in approximately […]

T.J. Hockenson: Your New Dynasty TE1

It certainly didn’t take long for rookie first-round pick T.J. Hockenson to make his presence known in Detroit. Selected eighth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, Hockenson was one of the catalysts to Detroit’s offense in Week 1, catching six passes for 131 yards and a touchdown. He led the team in receiving yards and […]

Sterling Shepard May Have Concussion

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Sterling Shepard (head) "may be dealing with a concussion." The team will likely put him through the concussion protocol this week, and we won't have an idea of whether he'll suit up in Week 2 against the Bills until his practice status is released […]

Giants Defense Gashed By Cowboys

The New York Giants Defense looked like the same mediocre unit we saw for much of last year in their 35-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. With the Cowboys still easing running back Ezekiel Elliott back into action, they turned to quarterback Dak Prescott, who responded by throwing for 405 yards and four TDs against the […]

Aldrick Rosas Makes Only Field Goal

New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas wasn’t asked to do much on Sunday, but he did everything that was asked of him. He drilled his only attempt from 28 yards away and made both extra points. The Giants aren’t a dynamic offense, but they may score a lot of garbage-time points, as they figure to […]

Cody Latimer Heavily Involved in Giants Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer was the team's second leading receiver in the 35-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. While he only caught three passes for 72 yards, he was targeted eight times, which was second on the team behind tight end Evan Engram. More importantly, quarterback Eli Manning looked to Latimer when he […]

Daniel Jones Fumbles In First NFL Game

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones came on for the final drive in relief of Eli Manning, completing three of his four passes before fumbling. Jones is not known for being a dynamic runner and was diving for the first down when the ball was jarred loose, so you have to give him points […]

Sterling Shepard Disappoints Against Cowboys

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard caught six passes against the Cowboys on Sunday but didn’t do much of fantasy relevance with them. He finished the day with 42 yards receiving, which would have been OK in PPR leagues, but he was targeted less than Cody Latimer, and the lack of downfield passes thrown […]

Evan Engram Impresses in Giants Blowout Loss

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was a man on a mission Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, catching 11 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. What’s more impressive is that it came against a young and athletic Cowboys linebacker corps. Engram showed great hands and good run-after-the-catch ability, which is exactly why people […]

Saquon Barkley Can’t Carry Giants

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley looked great on Sunday, totaling 139 yards against a strong Cowboys Defense. Barkley ripped off large chunks of yardage and made defenders miss throughout the game. Unfortunately, there were defenders around him all the time. What’s more concerning is that Barkley only caught four passes for 19 yards […]

Eli Manning Fantasy Relevant in Loss

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning had an uninspiring day on the field but a solid one in fantasy leagues in Week 1 against the Cowboys. With the Giants down for most of the game, Manning put up 44 passing attempts, completing 30 of them for 306 yards and a TD. He took what the […]

Eli Manning Will Start As Long As Team Is In Playoff Race

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is expected to remain the team's starter this year "as long as we're in the playoff race," according to team officials. Head coach Pat Shurmur still believes in Manning, so it looks like the Giants will give him a long leash despite the fact that rookie Daniel Jones exceeded […]
