Saquon Barkley To Face Tough Bears Defense

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley's dynamite season could hit a speed bump in Week 13 against a ferocious Bears defense.

They have held five different running backs with 10-plus carries […]

Eli Manning Not Fantasy Viable In Week 13

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will be hard-pressed to produce in Week 13 against a Bears defense that has nine interceptions over their last four games. Chicago's defense is allowing the 15th fewest fantasy points to opposing passers but a lot of that production has come in garbage time. They have at least one […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 13)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Evan Engram Optimistic For Week 13

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) is "optimistic" that he'll be able to play in Week 13 against the Bears after tweaking his hamstring in pregame warmups in Week 12.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught five passes for a team-high 85 yards in the team's 25-22 loss to the Eagles. The offense got off to a great start but completely fizzled in the second half as Beckham Jr. was quiet for long stretches in the game. He did add a nice […]

Eli Manning's Poor Second Half Dooms Giants

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 26 of 37 passes for 297 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Giants 25-22 loss to the Eagles.

Week 12 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis

We haven't seen the Oilers in action since 1998, but they're still very alive in my heart.
