The Giants D/ST recorded five sacks while failing to force any turnovers in a 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders in Week 5.
Fantasy Impact
The defense struggled to stop Washington on the ground, allowing 202 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on the day. The unit will look to offer more impactful results against an inconsistent New Orleans Saints offense in Week 6.
The Giants' D/ST logged three interceptions, two sacks, and a touchdown while allowing 24 points in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
New York's defense was stellar on Sunday. They logged three interceptions over the course of the afternoon, one of them they were able to take all the way back for a touchdown. They ended with a stellar fantasy total on the day, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect that to be a habit for them over the course of the season.
The Giants' D/ST logged one interception and one fumble recovery while allowing seven points in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy Impact
New York's defense held the Titans to just seven points on Sunday, which ultimately led to the Giants escaping with a win despite scoring just 12 points themselves. This unit lost Brian Burns (knee) in the process, however, as he is likely to miss the rest of the season with what is suspected to be a torn ACL. His absence will significantly hurt their defensive front and pass rush moving forward.
The Giants' D/ST logged one sack, one interception, and one fumble recovery while allowing 28 points in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
New York's defense struggled on Monday night. They allowed 28 points over the course of the game, despite actually forcing a couple turnovers to help their offense out. This unit should not be started moving forward, even with a relatively easy schedule coming down the pipe for them.
The Giants' D/ST logged one interception and allowed 20 points in Sunday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
New York's defense helped lead the team to a win on Sunday night. They held Dallas' talented offense to just 20 points over the course of the night and logged takeaway to help out the offense. They were held without a sack all game, however, so their pass rush will likely need to improve if they want to continue winning games moving forward.
