| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | ![]() |
Eli Manning292 pass yards, 2 pass TDs, INT
Dead arm, eh? Didn't look like it in Week 12 against Green Bay, when Manning had three touchdowns. This offense may just now be heating up. Hakeem Nicks is still making strides, and Rueben Randle has shown some growth. The Redskins' 31st-ranked pass defense could be in trouble. |
| RB | ![]() |
Ahmad Bradshaw67 rush yards, rush TD, 2 rec, 13 rec yards
Bradshaw looked like a new man in Week 12, splitting the Packers' defense for a long reception, then later for a 13-yard touchdown run. Andre Brown had been stealing goal-line carries, but he's now on IR. It remains to be seen if rookie David Wilson will steal those red zone touches, or if Bradshaw will become the featured back again. He's a good start this week regardless. |
| RB | ![]() |
David Wilson35 rush yards
Fans have yet to really see the potential New York's coaches have been raving about, but Andre Brown's broken leg moves Wilson up the depth chart. His fantasy relevance should increase along with his touches. |
| WR | ![]() |
Victor Cruz6 rec, 93 yards, rec TD
A month ago, Cruz delivered a knockout punch in New York's win over Washington -- a 77-yard score in the final minutes. Up to that point Cruz had been having a subpar day. The lesson: This guy can strike at any time, from anywhere on the field. |
| WR | ![]() |
Hakeem Nicks4 rec, 58 yards, rec TD
Eli Manning's first pass last week went to Nicks -- a sign the team is trying to get him involved early. Expect the same formula in this contest. |
| WR | ![]() |
Rueben Randle3 rec, 37 yards
Randle scored last week and fought for yards after the catch. The coaching staff feels he's ready to accept a bigger role; fantasy owners need more evidence. |
| TE | ![]() |
Martellus Bennett4 rec, 55 yards
Bennett has largely been a disappointment this year, but his best yardage day came against Washington (79 yards on five catches). Last week, Dallas' Jason Witten caught nine balls against the Redskins' pass defense. |
| K | ![]() |
Lawrence Tynes3 PATs, 2 FGs
Tynes has now made 12 of his last 13 field goal attempts, and has scored seven or more points in seven straight games. He is as steady as fantasy kickers come. |
| DEFENSE |
3 Sacks
The return game has failed to impress but the defense is finally coming alive. In the first meeting with Washington, the Giants collected three fumbles, an interception and three sacks. |

| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | ![]() |
Robert Griffin III214 pass yards, pass TD, 52 rush yards
Griffin III has rejoined the Rookie of the Year debate following a pair of four-touchdown days. He takes care of the football (just four interceptions) and continues to make plays with his feet (89 yards rushing in the Week 7 meeting with New York). |
| RB | ![]() |
Alfred Morris83 rush yards, rush TD
Morris averaged 5.5 yards and broke a 30-yard run in his first meeting against the defending Super Bowl champions. The only concern fantasy owners should have heading into this game is whether Washington will be able to run the ball in all four quarters. |
| WR | ![]() |
Pierre Garcon6 rec, 74 yards, rec TD
Garcon once again looks like a No. 1 receiver after pacing Washington with 93 yards on Thanksgiving. He is the most polished of the team's wideouts, and the only one worthy of weekly consideration from fantasy owners. |
| WR | ![]() |
Santana Moss4 rec, 49 yards
Fantasy owners cannot ignore Moss' seven touchdown catches this season, even though he has just 29 receptions in 11 games. |
| WR | ![]() |
Aldrick Robinson2 rec, 46 yards
If nothing else, Robinson is efficient, catching two passes for 117 yards and two scores over the past two weeks. He is the best deep weapon Washington has, but fantasy owners cannot afford to gamble that Robert Griffin III will find Robinson downfield every week. |
| TE | ![]() |
Logan Paulsen2 rec, 25 yards
Paulsen came out of the gates strong, but in recent weeks has not seen much opportunity. The Redskins are relying more on their young receiving corps, leaving Paulsen to play the role of bit player in the passing game. |
| K | ![]() |
Kai Forbath2 PATs, 2 FGs
Not only has Forbath been surprisingly accurate -- 10-for-10 on field goal attempts -- but he has made a kick from 45 or more yards in five of six games. Best yet, he's available in most fantasy leagues. |
| DEFENSE |
INT, Sack
This isn't the Giants from a few weeks ago. This New York offense has its act together and can strike on the ground or through the air. Washington may be red hot, but this game will cool down the 'Skins a bit. |
