Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 2)

The offensive line can make average skill players […]

Evan Engram Could Be PPR Sleeper Against Cowboys

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram will look to get his season on track when the Giants take on the Cowboys in Week 2.

Sterling Shepard No More Than WR4 For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will take on the Cowboys this Sunday night in Week 2.

Odell Beckham Jr. Gets Better Matchup For Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will take on the Cowboys Sunday night in Dallas for Week 2.

Beckham Jr. should be unleashed against a Dallas […]

Eli Manning Looking For Revenge Against Cowboys

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will look to put 2017 behind him when he takes on the division-rival Cowboys on Sunday night. The Giants offense struggled mightily against Dallas last season with Manning completing 60 of 84 passes for 448 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, leading to only 13 combined points in two […]

Sterling Shepard Totals Five Receptions Against Jaguars

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard registered five receptions for 48 yards in the Giants 20-15 loss to the Jaguars.

Wayne Gallman Expects To Play Next Week

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (knee), who injured his knee in Week 1 against the Jaguars, said he will be ready to go in Week 2.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 23 of 37 passes for 224 yards and one interception in the Giants 20-15 loss to the Jaguars.

Odell Beckham Jr. Shines In Loss

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught 10 passes for 111 yards in the Giants 20-15 loss to the Jaguars.

Wayne Gallman Questionable To Return

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (knee) left the game early in Week 1 against the Jaguars and is questionable to return. Gallman had just one carry for negative-one yard and two catches for nine yards before leaving the game. Veteran Jonathan Stewart remains the primary backup to rookie Saquon Barkley.

Kyle Lauletta Inactive In Week 1

New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta is inactive in Week 1 against the Jaguars. The Giants chose to go with Alex Tanney over the rookie in the season opener as Eli Manning's backup. That could change as the season develops, though, as the Giants coaching staff has been high on Lauletta.
