While I don't disagree ... last week everyone said, yeah but it's just Tampa, who followed up their loss to the Giants with a 50 plus point thrashing of the 3-0 Rams. Giants have played the Cowboys 3-1, Bills 3-1, and Tampa 2-2 ... a pretty tough schedule. They won their last 2 games with a rookie QB and missing their best offensive weapon and one of their best receivers. Their defense is very young and has arguably gotten better every week ... I know they are not great but the Gints may be better than we think. The loss of Connelly is pretty huge especially since we are already down 2 ILBs. I think they can surprise at home vs Min this week ... I'm most concerned about Dalvin Cook with our LB shortage.IrishTwinkie said:

Gallman out as well. I don't see how we are moving the ball. Hilliman and Penny at RB. Just gotta hope Jones makes it through healthy.It's not fair...Giants lose Engram, Sheperd, and Barkley for a game vs. New England that they weren't going to win anyway (Unless Eli played
No, because we have no idea the type of connection Jones has with Ellison. People say start Jon Hilliman, but have you seen his PlayerProfiler? His best comp is Paul Perkins... I mean he's going to get 14-16 carries and dumpoffs, but it won't be pretty. He's startable for volume alone.
That's next-level thinking there. Wait until you play the game, then work out a RB.

He really didn't look good, but sure ok.Jones looks good guys, just wanted to poke in and say I think you guys have a legit heir to the throne. Nice pick

He was facing the best defense in the NFL last night though.
Jones looked like what he is, a rookie.
Okay, pump the brakes a little bit. New England has a very good defense this year. But after doing a nice job against Roethlisberger, the Patriots have played against Fitzpatrick/Rosen, Falk, Allen, McCoy, and Jones. That's a Journeyman/2nd year back-up, 3rd string rookie, 2nd year starter, Career back-up coming off an injury, and a rookie QB. Not exactly a murderer's row. Let's wait to see how they do against Prescott/Wentz/Mahomes/Watson before we start those kind of proclamations.
Though Barkley should be back it also means Wayne Gallman Jr. will be ready next week.
I hear you on that...to clarify my statement, they have been performing as a defense through the first 6 weeks of this season better than any other defense in history has performed from an NFL and fantasy perspective. I don't know if that will continue, and I suspect that tougher competition will be able to score on them, but I don't think the drop off in their production will be steep enough to change my mind that they are at least the best defense in the NFL this year.
Shoot me.
Yup, these next few weeks leading into the bye are huge. Cardinals, Lions, Cowboys, Jets. If Giants are going to make the playoffs, goal here has to be 3-1 in that stretch. Put the team at 5-5 going into the second half of the season. Dolphins and Skins are wins, that's 7-5, from there you would have to steal 2 games from the Bears/Packers/Eagles/Eagles slate. Easier said than done, but that would be your path to playoffs for the Giants.
Dallas really isn't that good. Week 1 they caught us with a team of basically either all rookies or guys in the first year of a system playing D. I think the defense has shown the past few weeks that they're progressing week to week and getting better. DeAndre Baker looked like a complete hack the first two games and you never even hear his name mentioned anymore (a good thing mind you). Carter/Golden/Ximines actually has the makings of a decent pass rush, especially with the push Dexter has been getting up the middle.
Thank GOD. Not only would he start and push Baker into nickel/dime coverages, but he'd take over as the "cover the tall WR" (he's 6'1) and push Jenkins into a rotation. He's legit good, he just has had little experience. I don't think he get activated Week 9, but Week 10 is guaranteed.
I don't think he is pushing Baker into nickel/dime coverages ... Baker pushed Beal out during preseaon and has more game experience then Beal. Baker has been playing much better the last 2-3 games.
