Malik Nabers, Malik Nabers is Impressive in Week 4 Victory
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers put together his best game of the season during Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Nabers appears to be finally building some chemistry with quarterback Jameis Winston. The third-year wideout hauled in six of his seven targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in the win. The touchdown came on a 25-yard pass in the second quarter. The expectation was that Nabers would see his value decrease with Jaxson Dart (knee) done for the year. The 23-year-old might be okay with Winston tossing him deep balls. Nabers will have big-play upside against a shaky Washington Commanders defense in Week 5.

J.J. McCarthy, J.J. McCarthy Serving as the Emergency Third Quarterback for Week 4
New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be inactive as the team's emergency third quarterback for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Giants traded for McCarthy this past week, and while he should climb to first or second on the depth chart by midseason, he'll open this new chapter as a healthy scratch. Presumably, the Giants want to give McCarthy a little more time to acclimate to the Giants' offensive system before putting him in a position where he's one snap away from getting onto the field. Jameis Winston will start for a second consecutive week against Atlanta, looking to improve upon last week's stat line of 114 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. Jake Haener has been elevated from the practice squad to back up Winston this week.

Cam Skattebo, Cam Skattebo Fined for Illegal Helmet Contact Following Week 3
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo was fined an undisclosed amount by the NFL for "illegal helmet contact on a running play" during Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The play in question was a rushing attempt that went for a short gain. Skattebo lowered his helmet into Titans linebacker Cedric Gray to break his tackle and fight for extra yardage. Later, a viral video showed that the Giants decal on Skattebo's helmet had fallen off because it had endured so much contact. It will be interesting to see whether officials begin penalizing Skattebo for using his helmet to create contact. In the meantime, fantasy managers will continue to appreciate the second-year back for fighting for every extra yard.

Isaiah Likely, Isaiah Likely Looking to Bounce Back Against Cardinals
New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely is looking to bounce back after a down game in Week 3. He caught just two of five targets for 13 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. In two games with backup quarterback Jameis Winston, Likely has caught just seven of 15 targets for 46 yards, averaging just 4.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game. On a positive note, Likely's usage has improved significantly from his Week 1 role, with 77% of snaps and 85% of routes over the last two weeks. He also faces an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season, including a monster performance against 49ers star tight end George Kittle in Week 3. While his struggles with Winston could pose a threat to his Week 4 outlook, Likely should be considered a low-end TE1 against a weaker Cardinals secondary.

Malachi Fields, Malachi Fields' Target Volume Lacking Against Cardinals
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields has hauled in six of 12 targets for 74 yards in three games to start the 2026 season. Despite a crowded training camp, Fields has stepped up as the WR2 in this offense, playing 74% of snaps and running 68% of routes. However, the Giants' offense under offensive coordinator Matt Nagy ranks 28th in pass attempts and 30th in pass rate over expected. With star receiver Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely dominating the volume in this passing attack, little is left for the rookie receiver. Fields faces an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The snaps and matchup are there, but Fields' Week 4 fantasy value will hinge on the Giants' willingness to throw to him against a struggling Cardinals secondary.
