New York Giants

 

Quarterback

Jaxson Dart: START, Borderline QB1

Jaxson Dart just played the role of the scrappy underdog who refused to lose, even if the scoreboard ultimately disagreed. This kid put on a show against the Broncos. Dart finished with a monster fantasy day: 15 completions on 33 attempts for 283 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception, adding another score on the ground with 5 carries for 11 yards and 1 rushing touchdown. That’s four total scores for a rookie who’s dealing with arguably the worst receiving corps in the league. He did everything he could to will the Giants to a W, including a Michael Jordan Space Jam-like stretch for the endzone to give the Giants the lead late in the game. It was a spectacular display of his dual-threat talent.

It is slightly depressing to think about what he could have done with a healthy Malik Nabers, but Dart’s rushing floor is so high that he’s become a machine. He now has multiple touchdowns in every start since taking over the job. Dart is a weekly start in all formats because he offers both a high floor from his rushing and a high ceiling from his gunslinger mentality.

 

Running Back

Cam Skattebo: START, RB1
Tyrone Tracy Jr.: SIT
Devin Singletary: SIT

Any doubt that Cam Skattebo would maintain the lead back role with the return of Tyrone Tracy has been thoroughly squashed. Skattebo has handled 49.3% of the team’s carries since Tracy’s return, ran nearly double the routes, and played double the snaps. Skattebo is locked and loaded as an every-week RB2 at worst, and against an Eagles defense allowing the eighth most fantasy points to the position, he’s an RB1.

 

Wide Receiver

Wan’Dale Robinson: START, WR2
Jalin Hyatt: SIT

Darius Slayton: SIT

In the three games started by Dart since Malik Nabers was lost for the season, Wan’Dale Robinson averaged nearly nine targets per game and had back-to-back games with six receptions and 80+ yards. He’s a volume-based WR2 each and every week, scoring 20.4 fantasy points when these two teams met two weeks ago. There’s a chance Darius Slayton could return to face Philly, but with Dart’s muted passing numbers and propensity to involve the tight ends and Skattebo, no other Giants receivers are worth fantasy consideration.

 

Tight End

Theo Johnson: STREAMER

Since Dart took over as the Giants’ starting quarterback, Theo Johnson is second on the team with a 19.2% target share and leads New York with five touchdown receptions, five targets inside the 20, and three end zone targets. He’s startable most weeks, but needs to get in the endzone to get over double-digit fantasy points.

 

Defense/Special Teams

New York Giants: SIT

The Giants’ defense is playing better as of late, but they’ve generated just five turnovers and are allowing the fourth-most yards per game.

 

Philadelphia Eagles

 

Quarterback

Jalen Hurts: START, QB1

You don’t need me to tell you to start Jalen Hurts, but did you know he grew up a Houston Texans fan? Being a Texas native, he rooted for the hometown team. Well, one of them.

 

Running Back

Saquon Barkley: START, RB2

It’s time we have a conversation about Saquon Barkley. Albeit a short conversation, it’s a conversation nonetheless. It feels weird to say this about Barkley, but if he’s on your roster, you’re stuck. He’s not playing poorly enough to bench, but he’s nowhere close to the stud we’re used to. He’s rushed for 60 or fewer yards in six of seven games and has yet to break the 20-point threshold. The Giants have allowed just one 100-yard rusher and held running backs out of the endzone in each of the last three games. You’re starting Barkley every week, but you have to recalibrate your expectations. He’s a solid RB2 with both a shrinking ceiling and falling floor.

 

Wide Receiver

A.J. Brown: START, WR1
DeVonta Smith: START, WR2

The Iggles came out swinging against the Vikings in Week 7, with Jalen Hurts connecting with A.J. Brown on a fourth-down 37-yard touchdown on the opening drive. DeVonta Smith secured 9 receptions on 9 targets for a massive 183 yards and 1 touchdown, blowing by the entire defense as Hurts hit him in stride for a 79-yard touchdown. Meanwhile, Brown was hyper-efficient, turning 4 targets into 4 receptions for 121 yards and 2 touchdowns. Brown is a borderline WR1 and Smith a borderline WR2, and both could easily blow up against the Giants if the Eagles maintain this increased pass volume. The G-Men allow the third most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

 

Tight End

Dallas Goedert: START, TE1

In Week 7 against the Vikings, Jalen Hurts threw for over 300 yards for the first time since Week 3 of last season. So Dallas Goedert had a big game, right? RIGHT?!

Well, for the first time this season, Goedert failed to score double-digit fantasy points, coinciding with the end of his four-game touchdown streak. The Giants haven’t given up much to tight ends this season, but Goedert had his best game of the season against them just two weeks ago. That alone makes him a worthy start.

 

Defense/Special Teams

Philadelphia Eagles: SIT

The Eagles’ defense is allowing over 368 yards per game over their last five and has generated just three turnovers, the second fewest in the league.
