Giants D/ST a Risky Start Against Commanders in Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 8:29 AM

The New York Giants' defense was strong in Week 4, thanks in part to cornerback Deonte Banks' last-second pick-six. The Giants allowed 24 points and 270 yards to the Arizona Cardinals but forced three turnovers on Jacoby Brissett, including one that led to a 98-yard touchdown return, which sealed the 36-24 win. Through four games, the Giants D/ST ranks first in interceptions (six) and 10th in fantasy points per game (7.3). Now they face the Washington Commanders in Week 5, who will have their starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels (elbow), back in the lineup. This Washington offense ranks 16th in points (25.2) and 25th in total offense (299.0) but has given up only two turnovers in four games this season. While the Giants have been productive on defense, they remain a risky D/ST option in Week 5.

Caleb Williams Offers Intriguing Upside if Active

Friday, October 9, 9:29 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's road divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The third-year signal caller hasn't been active since injuring his hamstring in Week 2's 9-3 loss to Minnesota. Friday was Williams' first practice in any capacity since then. While Williams' hamstring health is unknown after only a limited session, he'd be in an excellent position to succeed against a Packers pass defense that's been a mixed bag this year. The real risk is that if he plays at less than full strength, he could lose much of his ability to create outside the play's design. Owners should keep a close eye on Williams' status right up until kickoff, as he'd be worth considering for fantasy if active. If he isn't, teammate Tyson Bagent, who was named the team's starter for Sunday earlier in the week, would take the helm against the Packers.
