New York Giants
Quarterback
Jaxson Dart: START (in Superflex), borderline QB1
The potential Offensive Rookie of the Year cost many teams their fantasy championship hopes last week in an atrocious performance that was easily the worst of his young career. Jaxson Dart completed just seven passes, only one in the first half, for 33 yards. He failed to score through he air or on the ground and threw an interception for the second straight game. Dart has QB1 upside, but is admittedly a risk as awful as the Giants’ game plan was last week. He’s still startable in all formats, but it’s hard to trust the rookie after what happened last week.
Running Back
Tyrone Tracy Jr.: FLEX, RB3
Devin Singletary: SIT
With the Giants’ run-heavy approach, both Tyrone Tracey Jr. and Devin Singletary have seen a solid amount of work down the stretch. But Tracy has been the much more productive of the two, rushing for 70 yards in his second straight game since the bye and chipping in a couple catches. The Raiders have allowed the ninth-most points to the position, making Tracy a risky upside flex in championship week.
Wide Receiver
Wan’Dale Robinson: START, WR3
Isaiah Hodgins: SIT
Darius Slayton: SIT
It was a disappointing day all around for the Giants’ offense against the Vikings, and Wan’Dale Robinson was no different. The only positive takeaway is Darius Slayton caught three of Dart’s seven completions and remains the top pass-catching option on the team. He’s in a nice bounce-back spot in a top-10 matchup against the Raiders. As uneven as the Giants’ offense currently is, I wouldn’t risk starting the volatile upside play of Slayton.
Tight End
Theo Johnson: SIT
The once weekly borderline TE1 has dropped to a matchup-based streamer, and against the Raiders, that means he’s on your bench. Las Vegas has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position, and that’s after giving up three touchdown passes to tight ends over the past two weeks.
Defense/Special Teams
New York Giants: SIT
The Giants have one of the league’s worst defenses. I wouldn’t start them against the “Little Giants.”
Las Vegas Raiders
Quarterback
Geno Smith: SIT, QB2 (startable in Superflex)
Geno Smith was … good(?!?) against the Texans. The worst matchup for quarterbacks. Now he gets to face the Giants, one of the best matchups for quarterbacks. Don’t force him in your lineup, but if you’re in need of a starting quarterback in Superflex, Geno is absolutely an option.
Running Back
Ashton Jeanty: START, RB1
Because everything is made up and the points don’t matter, it makes perfect sense for the struggling Ashton Jeanty to feast in an awful matchup against Houston. The Raiders’ rookie running back put up a 30-burger on a Texans defense that has held all but two backs under 15 points since Week 6. Jeanty put up 188 total yards of offense with a pair of touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving. Talent has never been the issue for Jeanty, but the Raiders’ anemic offense has. His second-best game of the season gives a nice boost to confidence in starting Jeanty in Week 17, where he could go nuclear against a Giants defense that allows the third-most fantasy points to the position.
Wide Receiver
Jack Bech: FLEX, WR4
Tre Tucker: FLEX, WR4
Tyler Lockett: FLEX, WR5
The Raiders receivers are strictly matchup-based dart-throw flex options against the Giants, who allow the fifth-most points to the position.
Tight End
Brock Bowers: START, TE1
Brock Bowers scored his fourth touchdown in as many games, but don’t get all giddy about seeing the Giants up next. The G-Men have shut down opposing tight ends, allowing the fifth-fewest points to the position. Bowers is obviously still starting for your fantasy team, but don’t expect a ceiling-type game.
Defense/Special Teams
Las Vegas Raiders: STREAMER
The Giants have averaged 16.3 points per game over their last three.
