TNF Redskins vs. Giants Daily Fantasy Sports Picks, Betting Odds
Gambling911.com has your Thursday Night Football Redskins vs. Giants Daily Fantasy Sports picks along with the latest betting odds that had New York as a -4 home favorite. The total was coming in at 43.5.
What to Consider With the Giants: New York has one of the worst pass defending units in the league and are weak against the run. They have allowed the eighth-most points to the position since the start of last season. The Giants do not permit as many fantasy points to opposing wideouts however.
What to Consider With the Redskins: Though they had a big win last week, the Redskins have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks since the start of last year and Peyton Manning will be hungrier than ever for a win here after two back-to-back chokes in the final minutes. Washington appears to be tougher against the run this season.
Who to Play:
Eli Manning ($7.1K and likely dropping) is an obvious solid play this week though it remains to be seen if we have any better options.
While it is true that New York has a below-average pass defense unit, Kirk Cousins is not a viable fantasy option.
Washington’s running backs stand a better chance of making value in Week 3. On that end, Alfred Morris ($5K) does look appealing here at a decent price. In Week 2 against the Rams, Morris rushed 18 times for 59 yards in the Redskins' Week 2 win over the Rams, adding two catches for 13 yards.
Redskins RB Matt Jones ($4K) played just three fewer offensive snaps than Alfred Morris Week 2. Because of his reduced price, Jones is likely a better option than Morris if selecting among the Redskins running backs for Week 3.
