New York Giants kicker Graham Gano enters the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with limited opportunities in his return from an early-season injury. In Week 12's 30-7 loss to Tampa Bay, Gano did not attempt a field goal, marking his second game back since Week 2. This season, he has made three of four field goals (75% accuracy) with a long of 50 yards. While the Cowboys allow the second-most points per game (29), potentially boosting Gano's opportunities, the Giants' offensive struggles could cap his upside. Fantasy managers should temper expectations, as Gano remains a risky option given his limited workload and the Giants' inconsistency in reaching scoring range.
New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson enters the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after a quiet Week 12, where he caught all five of his targets for 47 yards in a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Averaging 8.04 FPPG this season, Robinson has been a reliable short-yardage option with 441 yards and two touchdowns on 61 receptions but a modest 7.2 yards per catch. The Cowboys rank 21st against fantasy wide receivers and have allowed 15 passing touchdowns this year, creating opportunities for Robinson to contribute. While Dallas' 18th-ranked pass defense allows 214.9 yards per game, Robinson should stay on the bench for fantasy managers, especially with the question marks at quarterback.
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers heads into the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after leading the team with six receptions for 64 yards on nine targets in a tough Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay. Averaging 17.44 FPPG this season (9th among WRs), Nabers has been a consistent fantasy contributor with 671 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 103 targets. Dallas offers a middling matchup for receivers, ranking 21st against fantasy WRs and allowing 15 passing TDs this season. While their pass defense is 18th overall (214.9 passing yards per game), Nabers called the team out this past week about not getting him the ball enough. The squeaky wheel should get the grease, so look for Nabers to get targets early and often this week. The only question mark is at quarterback, as it may be Tommy Devito or Drew Lock.
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. enters Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys looking to rebound after a modest Week 12 showing, where he rushed for 42 yards and added 28 receiving yards on four receptions but lost a costly fumble. Tracy Jr. has been a steady fantasy contributor since taking over in Week 5, averaging 15.2 FPPG (22nd among RBs) with 587 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the season. The Cowboys' defense provides a favorable matchup, ranking 31st against the run and allowing 151 rushing yards and 18 rushing TDs on the year. With Dallas also surrendering the second-most points per game (29) and ranking 29th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, Tracy has strong bounce-back potential.
New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock might make his first start of the 2024 season in Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, stepping in for an injured Tommy Devito. Lock, who saw limited action this year (four completions on eight attempts for just nine yards), faces a Dallas defense ranked 28th against fantasy quarterbacks, allowing 20.47 FPPG. Despite Lock's limited experience this season, his 2023 campaign with Seattlewhere he posted a 63.2% completion rate, three touchdowns, and 17.22 FPPGshows he has upside in favorable matchups. The Cowboys have given up 15 passing touchdowns and allow 214.7 passing yards per game.
