New York Giants DFS Spin
Giants CB Adoree’ Jackson (knee) was removed from the Giants’ Wild Card injury report and will play against the Vikings. Jackson isn’t going to stop Justin Jefferson on his own, but his return will help the Giants slow down the league’s best receiver in the regular season. Jackson defended seven passes and forced one fumble in 10 regular season appearances this year. Having no players with injury listings heading into the Wild Card Round, New York will be one of the healthiest teams for the postseason.
Minnesota Vikings DFS Spin
Harrison Smith (ankle) is questionable for Minnesota’s Wild Card matchup against the Giants. Smith was a limited participant all three days, which leads us to believe he is on the optimistic side of questionable. The 33-year-old safety missed Week 18 with knee soreness. Kevin O’Connell told reporters he didn’t “anticipate” anything keeping Smith from playing on Sunday.
