New York Giants

The New York Giants will reportedly hire Patriots’ special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach Joe Judge, according to Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Judge spent time with Alabama as special teams coordinator from 2009-2011, where he won two national championships. He’s been with the Patriots since 2012, winning three Super Bowls with the organization. Given that history, Judge will bring a winning mentality to a franchise that certainly needs some revitalization in the post-Eli Manning era.

The New York Giants have fired head coach Pat Shurmur, according to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

Shurmur went 9-23 in his two seasons as head coach of the Giants, and general manager Dave Gettelman (who is himself on the hot seat) and ownership obviously decided that they had not seen enough improvement over the last two years despite a rebuilding roster.

The New York Giants D/ST allowed 35 points in Sunday's overtime win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday. They recorded three sacks but did not force a turnover.

Fantasy Impact

While they got the win, the New York Giants D/ST did not play well on Sunday. They tied a season-high with 35 points allowed, and this unit has not intercepted a pass since Week 12. They will look to close out the season strong against a banged-up Eagles offense next week.

The New York Giants D/ST allowed 20 points on 384 total yards while recording three sacks and recovering one fumble in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

The 20 points allowed were the third-fewest in a game for the New York Giants D/ST this season, which gives you a pretty good indication about how poorly they have played. Next week, they face off against a Washington team that they held to three points in Week 4.

The New York Giants D/ST allowed 23 points on 418 total yards in Monday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles while recording three sacks and recovering one fumble.

Fantasy Impact

The New York Giants D/ST held the Eagles to just three points in the first half, but they allowed three touchdowns in the second half and overtime combined in what ended up as a 23-17 loss. The unit will look to bounce back next week against the Dolphins at home.
