• Mark Andrews: 7 receptions, 106 yards, one touchdown
• Kenyan Drake: 10 carries, 119 yards, one touchdown; 1 reception, 8 receiving yards
PFF's fantasy football recap focuses on player usage and stats, breaking down all the vital information you need to achieve fantasy success in 2022.
Monitor J.K. Dobbins‘ health: Dobbins’ knee tightened up, and he missed the last 40 minutes of the game.
- Dobbins played 16 snaps to Kenyan Drake‘s seven snaps over the first three drives.
- Drake played all but six offensive snaps the rest of the way.
- Mike Davis served as the third-string back, and he continues to handle significant work at the goal line.
- Justice Hill missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury but could be part of the rotation when he’s back.
- Gus Edwards could soon be back and further complicate this running back situation.
- It’s good to add Edwards and potentially Drake, but it would be hard to trust any of these backs in the short term.
- There could be one or two fantasy starters in the group if it can stay a two-man rotation, but we could see three or four backs in some kind of rotation going forward.
Add Daniel Bellinger: The rookie tight end caught all five passes thrown his way for 38 yards and a touchdown and has gained the much-needed third-down snaps.
- The fourth-round pick had been the Giants' primary tight end on early downs this season, but Tanner Hudson was taking the third-down snaps.
- Bellinger played all 16 third downs this week against the Ravens.
- Hudson’s only snaps in this game came in three-tight end sets.
- Bellinger now has the playing time of a fantasy starter, and he’s been the highest-graded Giants receiver on the season.
- He now needs only the target share to be a fantasy starter. It’s better to pick him up before he reaches that point.
Add Wan’Dale Robinson: The Giants rookie receiver returned to the Giants after a Week 1 injury. He was eased into action but looked good in a limited time.
- In total, 13 of his 15 snaps came in 11 personnel, where he rotated in and out with Richie James Jr.
- James had served as the team’s slot receiver in recent weeks and had been the one constant among the Giants' receiver rotation over the first third of the season.
- Robinson caught three of his four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown.
- We can expect Robinson to see more playing time next week and his time continue to rise until he gets all of the slot snaps in 11 personnel.
- He could become the new lead target for the Giants going forward with all of the injuries the team has faced.
- Darius Slayton, Marcus Johnson and David Sills continued to rotate as the outside receivers.
Table Notes
• Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three stats have these plays removed.
• Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy would be from a clear thrown-away pass, where the NFL may give the target to the nearest receiver, while this data will not.
• Carries are only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles won’t count for the total number of carries in the game.
