Fantasy Football ‘25: Waiver Wire, Week 7 edition

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire for Week 7. We’re almost at the halfway point of the fantasy football regular season. That was quick.

Let’s talk about Bye weeks for a second. In Week 7, just two teams are on Bye – the Bills and Ravens. But in Week 8, six teams will be on Bye for the only time this season. People will call it Bye-mageddon and other ridiculous things. It’s fantasy football, folks, not life and death. Anyway, whatever term you decide to use, six teams on Bye is a lot, and it means that fantasy managers...

Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux offers praise to an unlikely source

Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux offers praise to an unlikely source

Before Thursday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, there was plenty of media speculation that New York Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen might be out of a job if the defense played poorly against the Eagles and the Giants fell to 1-5.

Well, neither of those things happened. The Giants stunned the defending champion Eagles with a decisive 34-17 victory. Bowen’s defense was a big part of the reason.

  • The Giants forced two turnovers, including an interception by Cor’Dale Flott that led to a game-clinching score.
  • The Giants sacked Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts three times and pressured him...

Should the Giants buy or sell at NFL trade deadline? Maybe both

Should the Giants buy or sell at NFL trade deadline? Maybe both

The NFL trade deadline is three weeks away. Should the New York Giants be buyers or sellers between now and the Nov. 4 deadline day?

How about “active participants”?

There are reasons to believe the Giants could, and should, try to both buy and sell over the next few weeks.

Selling

Adam Schefter of ESPN listed three Giants — quarterback Russell Wilson, running back Devin Singletary, and offensive lineman Evan Neal — as potential trade candidates.

Wilson, deposed as the team’s starting quarterback by rookie Jaxson Dart, makes obvious sense. If, and from this vantage point it is a...

Broncos-Giants opening odds for Week 7

Broncos-Giants opening odds for Week 7

The New York Giants, as usual, will be the underdog when they take the field in Week 7. The Giants travel to Colorado to face the Denver Broncos, and FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Giants as 7-point underdogs in the early line.

The 2-4 Giants are coming off their biggest regular-season victory in quite some time, having defeated the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 34-17 on Thursday night. Since rookie Jaxson Dart became the starting quarterback the Giants are 2-1 with victories over the Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers sandwiched around a disappointing loss to the previously 0-4 New Orleans Saints....

‘Psychopaths’ Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo are already changing Giants’ DNA | New York Post

Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo are not the Giants’ best players — not yet, anyway — but the contact-seeking rookies have injected a level of naivety into a locker room that had been unmistakably energy-zapped by years of losing. ...

Is the Giants’ cornerback rotation over?

Is the Giants’ cornerback rotation over?

The New York Giants have seemingly made their decision on their outside cornerback opposite Paulson Adebo, and it appears to be Cor’Dale Flott.

Cornerbacks Flott and Deonte Banks have split snaps as the “starting” outside cornerback opposite Adebo all year long, dating back to training camp. When the Giants released their initial depth chart, they listed Flott and Banks as “co-starters” on the outside. They held to that through the first four games, rotating the two players over the course of the game.

Then something seemingly changed in Week 5. Banks was coming off his most active — and best...

Film room: Cam Skattebo and the Giants’ rushing attack

The New York Giants bullied the Philadelphia Eagles to the tune of 172 yards on the ground in their 34-17 win. The Giants have talked about imposing their physicality on opponents — and on Thursday Night Football, they delivered. Cam Skattebo rushed for 98 yards on 19 carries (5.2 yards per carry) with three touchdowns as the Giants collectively averaged 4.4 yards on the ground.

Since the return of Andrew Thomas, the Giants have found more success on the ground, as well as much better protection for the signal caller. Thomas’ return, together with a more diverse rushing approach from...

Draft prospects for the Giants in college football Week 7

Draft prospects for the Giants in college football Week 7

Good morning New York Giants fans!

Happy Saturday and welcome to Week 7 of the college football season. This is a week in which we’ll be circling back to check in on some teams that we’ve already looked at this year. NFL scouts routinely visit the same schools in their area two or three times in a season to get a look at prospects against different opponents. It also gives them an opportunity to get a feel for their development over the course of a year.

And we’ll be doing that for the same reasons. We’ve looked at three of...

Big Blue View mailbag: Salary cap, Schoen and Daboll, Jalin Hyatt, more questions

Bryan Sachse asks: Many fans are complaining about Mara as an owner. My question is — assuming the season remains bad — might it make sense to hire a new team president or alternatively a consultant to lead the search for a new GM/coach — (or even decide to keep either or both) rather than have John Mara make that decision?

Ed says: Bryan, I don’t think more layers to the organizational structure is the answer. The Giants are already the only team with split ownership. The Mara and Tisch families have equal, decision-making shares. While we always say decisions...

PFF grades and snaps counts from an impressive Giants victory over the Eagles

PFF grades and snaps counts from an impressive Giants victory over the Eagles

I thought the New York Giants’ victory over the Chargers a couple of Sundays ago was pretty uplifting after their dispiriting start to the 2025 season. Nothing beats a victory over a division rival who has dominated the Giants for a decade or more, though. Even more, nothing beats a game when your team is just running out the last five minutes of the game clock on the way to that victory. I think the last time that happened was the final game of 2023, by coincidence the last time the Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles before last night. I’d...

Survey results: What a difference a week will make

Survey results: What a difference a week will make

Few fans of the New York Giants still had faith in their team after the collapse to the (then) 0-4 New Orleans Saints in Week 5.

Thanks to the quick turnaround between that game and the Giants’ meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football, we didn’t ask a specific question in our weekly fan survey. However, we did run the regular confidence poll and it bore out just how disappointed fans were in their team… At least up until about 11pm Thursday night.

Yes, less than 1 in 4 fans thought the Giants are headed in the right...
