New York Giants DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano steps into Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, looking to rebound after a quiet start in Week 1. Despite only managing two field goals against Minnesota, Gano is still a reliable scoring option, as he has a career average field goal percentage of 83.7%, including an impressive 43-for-64 from 50+ yards. Facing a Washington defense that allowed 37 points in Week 1, Gano's opportunity for kicks should be plentiful, especially if the Giants stall in the red zone. Expect Gano to hover around double-digit fantasy points, as the Commanders' bend-don't-break defense could set him up for several mid-range field goal attempts.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson is looking for a strong Week 2 performance against the Washington Commanders this Sunday. Johnson was targeted four times in his rookie debut but only reeled in one reception for 18 yards. He also dropped two catchable balls, so he could have had a bigger day but struggled with the rest of the Giants offense. Moving forward, what most impressed most as a fantasy manager was that he saw 61 offensive snaps, so he looks like the clear-cut TE1 on the Giants.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is set for a pivotal Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Singletary, coming off a poor Week 1 performance where he rushed for only 37 yards and added 15 yards receiving, will look to exploit a Commanders defense that allowed 37 points in their opener. Singletary's volume should increase, especially if the Giants can get a lead early, making him a possible RB2 play for fantasy managers needing added production in Week 2.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 2 divisional matchup against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Nabers popped up on the team's injury report this week after he was limited in Thursday's practice, but fantasy managers should have no worries now that he's in danger of playing this weekend. The 21-year-old is in a bad offense run by quarterback Daniel Jones, but did draw seven targets in his NFL debut, catching five of them for 66 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Expect the LSU product to continue to have a big target share in an offense that will likely be playing catch-up more weeks than not. Against a shaky Washington secondary, Nabers should be in all starting fantasy lineups as a high-end WR2.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he will list quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for the Week 2 game in Denver against the Broncos. Wilson has been practicing on a limited basis this week, but all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game to begin his tenure in Pittsburgh after aggravating a calf injury that he dealt with in training camp this summer. Tomlin admitted earlier this week that the team was preparing Justin Fields to start against the Broncos. However, there is a belief that the 35-year-old Wilson will be given the starting job back once he's fully cleared to play in games again, which could come as soon as Week 3 at home against the Los Angeles Chargers. We'll know for sure on Sunday morning, but all signs point to Fields starting. The former Chicago Bears QB profiles as a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers.
