New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson will look to make an impact in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after recording 30 yards on three catches in Week 6 against the Bengals. Johnson has struggled to find consistent fantasy relevance this season, with 11 receptions for 115 yards and no touchdowns, averaging just 2.83 fantasy points per game. He faces a tough matchup against an Eagles defense that ranks 2nd against tight ends, allowing just 6.24 points per game. While the Eagles pass defense is vulnerable overall, ranking 20th in yards allowed, Johnson will need to capitalize on limited opportunities, as Philadelphia has only given up seven passing touchdowns all season.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after a tough Week 6 outing where he managed just 205 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception against the Bengals. Jones has struggled this season, with only six passing touchdowns and a 62.1% completion rate. However, Malik Nabers' return should spark the Giants' offense. The Eagles' defense is vulnerable against the pass, ranking 21st and allowing 218.4 yards per game, but they've given up just seven passing touchdowns. Jones must elevate his play, as the Eagles allow 15.86 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, slightly below his season average of 16.59 FPPG.
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion) said he's ready to play in Week 7 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and is "very excited" to get back on the field after missing the last two games due to a concussion. "Every game is a big game to me," Nabers said. The first-round rookie sensation out of LSU was trending towards playing this weekend when he was officially cleared from the leagues concussion protocol on Thursday. Nabers' return is bad news for the fantasy upside of both Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, who were seeing more targets in his absence the last few weeks, but it's great news for quarterback Daniel Jones. Nabers racked up an eye-opening 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games and needs to be returned to all starting lineups for Week 7 immediately.UPDATE: Nabers was officially cleared to play in Week 7 on Sunday.
Despite New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) returning from a two-game absence in Week 7 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. will still see significant playing time on Sunday. "He's earned it," head coach Brian Daboll said. "He's done a good job. So he'll get plenty of playing time." Daboll said that Tracy, Singletary and Eric Gray will all play, but the Giants plan to keep a close eye on Singletary to see how he's doing after coming off his groin ailment. It means the G-Men will likely ease Singletary back into action, making him a shaky RB3/flex option in his return against the Eagles. In the two games that Singletary missed, Tracy was much more electric and explosive than Singletary, carrying the ball 35 times for 179 yards and a score while catching seven passes for 58 yards. He's the better upside flex play this weekend than Singletary.
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary (groin) will return on Sunday, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. However, Raanan noted that rookie standout Tyrone Tracy Jr. will continue to see significant playing time. Head coach Brian Daboll said "He's earned it. He's done a good job. So he'll get plenty of playing time." During Singletary's two-week absence, Tracy averaged 89.5 rushing yards per game with one score and an additional 58 total receiving yards. Fantasy managers should view both running backs as flex options this weekend, given their potential to limit each other's production. They will face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 13th-fewest points to opposing running backs.
