Giants | Evan Engram practicing Tue Oct 16, 01:30 PM
New York Giants TE Evan Engram (knee) is practicing Tuesday, Oct. 16.
| Footballguys view: Engram was close to playing last week, so we're not surprised he's back on the practice field early this week. The Giants play against the Falcons on Monday night and Engram could be back to his TE1 status for Fantasy GMs...provided he practices all week and is cleared to play. |

Giants | Co-owner: Eli Manning decision up to coaches Tue Oct 16, 12:20 PM
New York Giants QB Eli Manning was the subject of a question posed Tuesday, Oct. 16, to team owner John Mara at the league's fall meetings. 'When you're 1-5, it generally means everybody has to play better,' Mara told NFL Network. Mara added, though, that he will leave it up to the team's coaches as to whether a quarterback change is needed.
| Footballguys view: Manning has become 'Captain Checkdown' this season for the Giants. They could turn to rookie Kyle Lauletta eventually but for now they stick with the two-time Super Bowl Champion. Against a bad Falcons defense on Monday night in Week 7, Manning could look better than he has in most other games this year. |

The New York Giants and head coach Pat Shurmur recently fined WR Odell Beckham Jr. for controversial comments made during an ESPN interview where he questioned QB Eli Manning's ability and his teammates' heart, according to a league source. Shurmur also had Beckham apologize to the club.
| Footballguys view: Clearly Beckham is frustrated with his quarterback..and you could see that on Thursday night as Manning struggled to get him the ball on anything but short passes. We'll see if these two can work it out and produce at the expected level. The Giants have a long week to prepare for the Falcons in Week 7. |

Giants | Eli Manning gets vote of confidence Fri Oct 12, 01:22 PM
New York Giants QB Eli Manning will remain the team's starter, head coach Pat Shurmur said Friday, Oct. 12. 'We believe in Eli,' Shurmur said.
| Footballguys view: Kyle Lauletta is still worth an add in 2QB/Superflex leagues with Manning's putrid performance fresh in our minds. |

Giants | Rough night for Eli Manning Thu Oct 11, 11:57 PM
New York Giants QB Eli Manning completed 24 of his 43 passes for 281 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in a 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. He was also sacked four times.
| Footballguys view: Manning feasted on this matchup last year, but was unable to take advantage this year. He might not be starting by the time the teams meet again, but he could still be a decent streamer next week against the Falcons because of the matchup. |

Giants | Three catches for Sterling Shepard Thu Oct 11, 11:54 PM
New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard caught three passes on seven targets for 37 yards in a 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Shepard has had some good games while Evan Engram has been out, but his value is in trouble with the rest of the Giants offense right now. He'll still be a WR3/Flex consideration in Engram's likely first game back next week against the Falcons because of the matchup. |

Giants | Odell Beckham Jr. locked down Thu Oct 11, 11:47 PM
New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. caught six of his 10 targets for 44 yards in a 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Beckham had a revival in Week 5, but his value is in trouble going forward with neither quarterback possibility inspiring confidence. His matchup against Atlanta in Week 7 should help, but he isn't looking likely to return expected value this year. |

Giants | Saquon Barkley does it all Thu Oct 11, 11:43 PM
New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley rushed 13 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and caught nine passes for 99 yards in a 34-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Barkley was unstoppable, but unfortunately the rest of the Giants offense was very stoppable. He's among the top five players in value right now despite his surroundings with the Falcons up next. |

| Footballguys view: Engram is close to returning but not this week. The Giants will turn to Rhett Ellison again as their starter at the position. Even though TEs are brutal this year for Fantasy GMs you likely have better options than Ellison out there. |

| Footballguys view: Engram should be returning soon...but he may not quite be ready for Week 7. The Giants play the Eagles on Thursday night this week and Rhett Ellison would continue as the lead tight end for the Giants if Engram isn't quite yet healthy enough to play. |

New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) rushed 15 times for 48 yards in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers and he added four catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns. On his second score, he appears to roll his ankle jumping into the end zone.
| Footballguys view: Barkley was actually contained by the Panthers defense, but scored on a long pass from Odell Beckham and also scored what could have been the game-winning score. He has a short week of rest before a Thursday game so we will watch the injury reports closely. |

| Footballguys view: Manning finally got the downfield passing game going against the Panthers, but it wasn't enough to win because of a huge last second field goal. He'll have a streamable matchup on Thursday against Philadelphia. |
