New York Giants DFS Spin
A couple of injury updates warrant mentioning. Giants wide receiver and target leader Sterling Shepard went down two weeks ago with a torn ACL, so he’ll miss the rest of the year. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is listed as questionable with an ankle injury but he practiced this week and is trending toward playing on Sunday morning. These two factors mean that Giants’ tight end Daniel Bellinger is an attractive low-cost DFS play against a mediocre Packers defense. It’s also worth noting that the Packers are 22nd in rushing yards allowed per game (126.8) so it’s a given that you should consider Giants star running back and the NFL’s leading rusher Saquon Barkley for Sunday’s showdown.
Green Bay Packers DFS Spin
As bad as the Packers’ run defense has been, the Giants’ has been worse. New York is 28th in run defense, allowing an average of 141 yards per game. Because of this both Packers’ running backs, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are in play on Sunday. Green Bay wide receiver Romeo Doubs leads the team in targets (24), and receptions (19) and is tied for the team lead in touchdowns (2). He might be worth a look against the Giants on Sunday. If you need a kicker, Green Bay’s Mason Crosby has made all 4 of his field goal attempts and all 9 of his extra-point attempts. He’ll be facing a Giants’ defense that has allowed kickers to score at least 8 points in each of their first 4 games.

Giants vs. Packers Prediction:
The Green Bay Packers have won their last two contests by a combined 5 points. Every one of the New York Giants games has been within one score (8 points) or less. If I were going to play the total of 41, I’d take the under. I think this is going to be a hard-fought, close game between two relatively evenly matched 3-1 teams. There’s going to be a healthy amount of both teams running the ball and a considerable number of punts. Unless the Packers play significantly better than they have the past two weeks, I don’t see them mustering enough offense to blow this game open and win by double digits. They have a good shot at winning, but I think it will be tight. I’ll take the Giants and the points.
