Fantasy Football: Potential bargains, must-plays from Giants-Commanders game

The New York Giants (2-6) host the Washington Commanders (6-2) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this Sunday afternoon.

Fantasy enthusiasts and bettors will be looking for every and all possible plays in a game where points might be difficult to come by.

In the first meeting in Week 2, the Commanders won, 21-18, but did not score a touchdown. All of their points were provided by kicker Austin Seibert, who booted seven field goals in the game.

Here are our top three plays in Sunday’s matchup:

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington shredded the Giants in the first meeting to the tune of 215 rushing yards. 133 of those came from Brian Robinson on just 17 carries. The Giants have allowed 426 yards on the ground over the last two games, so they’ve gotten looser against the run in recent weeks.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin 

The Giants stifled Terry McLaurin in Week 2, limiting him to just 22 yards on six receptions with one of them going for 12 yards. But the Giants have been vulnerable at all levels in-between the 20s this year and McLaurin has hit his stride since the last meeting. Since Week 3, only Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase has more FPS than McLaurin among NFL wide receivers.

Giants RB Devin Singletary 

With Tyrone Tracy Jr. likely out with a concussion, the load shifts back to Singletary, who rushed for 95 yards on 16 carries with a touchdown in the first meeting. The Commanders have held teams to under 100 yards rushing in just one of their eight games this year. In DFS, Singletary will be low-owned but his price has remained relatively high.
