New York Giants
Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Welcome to Week 12! The season is flying by, and for most fantasy leagues, only three weeks remain before the playoffs start in Week 15. Week 11 was among the lowest scoring weeks of the season, in part due to a slew of in-game injuries. Hopefully you scored enough to stay in the playoff hunt.
A quick thought before we get started — The Lions, Ravens, and Seahawks are all capable of scoring points in bunches, and all three were largely stifled by a very stout defense last week. This week, the Lions host the 2-9 Giants, the Ravens host...

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart continued on Thursday to trend toward passing the league’s concussion protocol and being available to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Dart was a limited (con-contact) participant in practice for the second straight day.
Cornerback Paulson Adebo (knee), edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) and tight end Thomas Fidone did not practice for a second straight day, leading to the possibility they won’t be available on Sunday. This would be five straight missed games for Adebo, and two for Thibodeaux.
Congratulations are in order for Cor’Dale Flott. He missed his second straight practice as he...

The three people working the closest with New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka might be Giants coordinators Tim Kelly (offense), Shane Bowen (defense), and Michael Ghobrial (special teams). On Thursday, each praised Kafka’s work since taking over from Brian Daboll.
Ghobrial clearly made the strongest pitch for Kafka.
“Kaf, number one, is a tremendous human being. I really believe his intentions with everything he does, he puts his whole heart into it and the players feel that. He’s very even-keeled and he’s a great leader of men. He has a definitive plan on how he wants things to...

The New York Giants are on a five-game losing streak and are traveling to Detroit for Week 12. The Lions possess one of the most potent offenses in the league, with a rugged offensive line, a plethora of skilled players, and a head coach who took over play-calling two weeks ago.
Dan Campbell assumed the role of play caller during the 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10. He relieved offensive coordinator, John Morton. It was an excellent start for Campbell, but the Lions were held to just nine points in Week 11 in Philadelphia against the Eagles....

Finding believers in the idea that the 2-9 New York Giants will defeat the home-standing 6-4 Detroit Lions this weekend seems like a hard sell. Let’s see if anyone on the Big Blue View staff will show faith in the Giants in our Week 12 NFL picks and predictions.
Season record: 94-53-1 (64.0%)
I don’t think anyone in their right mind can pick the Giants to win this game.
Mike Kafka is getting just about everything out of the Giants’ offense that there is to give, and it’s been enough to hang with top teams. So there’s...

The New York Giants and Detroit Lions operate on different NFL planets. The Lions are a team with Super Bowl aspirations where good isn’t good enough. The Giants are a perennially bad team again searching for a head coach where good looks like a pipe dream.
To learn more about the Lions, we turned to SB Nation’s Pride of Detroit for this week’s ‘5 questions’ segment. Ryan Mathews fills us in.

The New York Giants will try to put a stop to their five-game skid when they travel to take on the Detroit Lions in Week 12.
This will be the Giants’ third game in three weeks against the NFC North, and it will likely be their second-toughest defensive test in what has already been a brutal schedule.
The Lions’ defense is 10th in points allowed (21.6 per game), 10th in rushing EPA allowed (14th in success rate allowed), eighth in passing EPA allowed (fourth in passing success rate), and sixth in overall EPA allowed (fourth in total success rate allowed)....

It’s once again draft season before Thanksgiving for the New York Giants.
The playoffs are out of reach at 2-9 while the Giants hold the second overall pick. This is the time of year when mock drafts start to crop up, but they’re much more useful for analyzing teams as well as which players are likely to be at the top of the draft.
The good news for the Giants is that they certainly seem to have found their franchise quarterback in Jaxson Dart. Dart is currently 12th in the NFL in Composite Grade and eighth in the NFL in...

Abdul Carter of the New York Giants is on to the Detroit Lions.
Carter, the rookie edge defender who was disciplined last Sunday for missing a walk-through and spent part of his time since then defending himself, did not use that exact phrase in speaking to media on Wednesday. That, though, was the message.
“I took ownership for it. We’ve moved on from it,” Carter said. “We’re focused on this week, so that’s what I’m trying to focus on.”
Has it been a difficult week for the 21-year-old?
‘It hasn’t been that tough for me,“ Carter said. ”I’m a very...

The New York Giants week 11 game against the Green Bay Packers was a long time coming for interim head coach Mike Kafka.
Kafka has been a staple on the off-season head coaching carousel since the team went to the playoffs in 2022. He’s interviewed for jobs in each of the last three off-seasons, and been a finalist multiple times, and yet teams have looked elsewhere and Kafka has had to go back to waiting for his chance.
He finally got his chance to be an NFL head coach when Brian Daboll was fired after the Giants’ Week 10 loss...
