Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, September 27, 2026, 1:00 PM ET
Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Network: CBS
Tennessee Titans
Quarterback
Cam Ward: SIT
I was admittedly high on Cam Ward coming into the season as a deep sleeper if the new Titans offense clicked, but the sophomore is still snoozing two weeks in. It’s obviously still early, and the second-year jump is still possible, but one touchdown pass and 323 passing yards in two games is not the ideal start. Even in a plus matchup against a Giants defense allowing three passing touchdowns per game, bench Ward in all league formats.
Running Back
Tony Pollard: FLEX, RB3
Tyjae Spears: SIT
Julius Chestnut: SIT
Ideally, none of the Titans running backs are in your starting lineup. But if you find yourself in a position where you have to start one, Tony Pollard is the only real option, and that’s simply because he’s getting double-digit touches per game.
Editor’s Fun Fact of the Week: all four members of our rankings team have Pollard ranked as their RB30 this week. If that’s not the perfect encapsulation of his value, I don’t know what is. I now fully expect 150 scrimmage yards with multiple scores.
Wide Receiver
Carnell Tate: FLEX, WR4
Wan’Dale Robinson: SIT
Calvin Ridley: SIT
Carnell Tate has expectedly struggled to put up much fantasy production in the putrid Tennessee offense. But his talent is undeniable, and it’s inevitable he’ll have a spike game or two. If you drafted him, you have to be happy with the 21.2% target share and 39,8% air yard share. You do not have to be happy that the high percentage of a small pie is still small.
Tight End
Gunnar Helm: SIT
If your tight end’s average depth of target (3.3) is lower than your targets per game (3.5), he’s probably not someone you should look to start in fantasy.
Defense/Special Teams
Tennessee Titans: START
New York Giants
Quarterback
Jaxson Dart: OUT
Jameis Winston: SIT
Le sigh.
Jaxson Dart is set to miss the rest of the 2026 season after suffering a knee injury requiring season-ending surgery after this hit.

Jameis Winston becomes the Giants’ starting quarterback and had this to say.
“I gathered the guys and said, if one man has one crab leg, he’s a mere mortal. But if that same man has 53 crab legs, he’s an unstoppable force.”
Not actually. I wish with every fiber of my being that this quote was real, but it’s sadly AI. Winston completed just 11 of 27 attempts in relief of Dart against the Rams. He’s a treasure of a person and a teammate, but for fantasy purposes he’s a $5 scratch-off where you either win $1,000 or get kicked in the testicles. There is no in between.
Running Back
Cam Skattebo: START, RB2
Devin Singletary: SIT
Tyrone Tracy Jr: SIT
Cam Skattebo has taken over 60% of the Giants’ backfield snaps and over 50% of the team’s carries, but he’s averaging under four yards a carry and under 12 fantasy points per game on an offense that just got a whole lot worse. He’s still a volume-based RB2 and is a solid start against a Titans defense that has given up three rushing touchdowns in two games. Opposing running backs have been held to just 3.39 yards per carry, but teams have attacked them on the ground to the tune of 120 rushing yards per game.
Wide Receiver
Malik Nabers: START, WR1
Malachi Fields: SIT
Darnell Mooney: SIT
Malik Nabers also left Monday night’s matchup against the Rams due to injury, but it’s much less of a dire situation than Dart’s, although at the time of writing it’s still unclear if he’ll suit up Sunday. If he does, don’t hesitate to start him with Winston under center. If Nabers is out, I’m not really going to roll the dice on any other Giants receivers.
Tight End
Isaiah Likely: START, TE1
It’s Likely that Isaiah‘s fantasy production (yes, I’ll be doing this bit each week) takes a hit with Jaxson Dart done for the year, but Jameis Winston’s willingness to chuck it keeps him afloat as a borderline TE1 with upside for big weeks.
Defense/Special Teams
New York Giants: SIT
Facing Cam Ward and the hapless Titans offense makes just about any defense a tempting streaming option. Just not the Giants. It could work out, and it’s a projected low game total, but I’d rather go with an option more likely to get points on sacks and turnovers.
