Player Stats

Skattebo immediately returned to a workhorse role following the shortcomings of Devin Singletary in Week 10, the latter of whom saw but one opportunity to the 22 of Skattebo. The Skatt-man bookended halftime with a score from one yard out on the team’s final possession of the first half and a score from 13 yards out on the team’s first possession of the second half, earning two backflips in the process. The second-year back also escaped down the sideline for a 34-yard reception in the first quarter to pad his counting stats. Despite the resurgence in workload, Skattebo will be a borderline FLEX option in a difficult matchup against the pass-funnel Jaguars in Week 11.

Quarterback

Player Stats

McCarthy appeared to be in complete control throughout before a game-sealing interception with under a minute to play in a three-point game. He demonstrated plus pocket presence and made numerous dime-worthy throws, the most impressive of which was a 25-yard dart to rookie Malachi Fields that was put in the only place where Fields could come down with the ball, over one defender and underneath two more down the left sideline. McCarthy leaned heavily on Isaiah Likely, feeding the veteran tight end 11 targets in what appeared to be a matchup-based game plan in the face of an aggressive pass rush. The Giants fall to 5-3-1 with the loss and pass the first tie-breaker to the Commanders after the two teams’ tie earlier this season. The Giants get a difficult matchup against arguably the most well-rounded roster in the AFC when they host the Jaguars in Week 11, where McCarthy falls to a mid-range QB2 in fantasy circles.

Burks fought through clear discomfort after coming into the game listed questionable following a Wednesday downgrade on the practice report, catching two early passes for 27 yards before succumbing to the inside-funnel nature of the New York defense. Quarterback Jayden Daniels directed 22 of his 33 pass attempts to the trio of Stefon Diggs, Chig Okonkwo, and Ben Sinnott over the middle of the field. Burks’ situation is unlikely to improve in Week 11 with lockdown perimeter corner DJ Turner on deck.

Tight End

Player Stats

Sinnott entered the game with just one reception this season while playing as the primary blocking tight end alongside Chig Okonkwo. Okonkwo departed in the second quarter with a back injury and returned to start the second half, with the time off the field paving the way for Sinnott to triple his year-to-date reception total and score his first touchdown of the season. He would add one reception in the second half to push his total to four. The touchdown reception also came with a bit of intrigue as the pass appeared to be targeting Stefon Diggs in the end zone. Sinnott was on a crossing route at the goal line and happened to cross paths at the perfect time. He will not be fantasy viable for as long as Okonkwo remains healthy.

Williams cashed in on his first target of the game for a 31-yard score in the third quarter, adding one additional grab for 11 yards in the final frame. The electric rookie continues to play starters snaps and challenge for the team lead in route rate but had yet to get completely on the same page with quarterback Jayden Daniels, the latter of whom leaned heavily on Stefon Diggs and tight end Chig Okonkwo in this one. The talent is undeniable for Williams, but fantasy managers would love to see a bump in targets before feeling comfortable entering him into starting lineups. Williams’ next chance to return a usable fantasy outing comes in Week 11 against the inside-funnel Bengals, where he should avoid the primary coverage of lockdown corner DJ Turner.

Diggs and the Washington pass offense went as Jayden Daniels went, with the dual threat quarterback mixing perfectly thrown passes with completely errant ones, two of which were directed toward Diggs. A third incompletion bounced off Diggs’ helmet as the veteran receiver should have drawn a defensive pass interference penalty, with the ball eventually ruled an incompletion upon further review after Treylon Burks appeared to come down with what would have been one of the wilder receptions of the season. Daniels’ best pass of the game came on the game-winning touchdown to Diggs in the flat on a crosser, threaded between two defenders. Diggs made a third miss as he took it into the end zone from 32 yards out to send the team to a 3-5-1 record, now two games behind the Giants with the first tie-breaker in hand. He will remain a volatile WR3 on capped routes against the Bengals in Week 11.

Running Back

Player Stats

The veteran in-season addition’s 13 opportunities matched that of starter Rachaad White, the latter of whom played the team’s first two drives before splitting the workload the rest of the way. Ekeler also split red zone work, although it was White that nearly missed a touchdown on a seven-yard run that was tackled at the one in the second quarter. Either way, the near-even split between the two caps the fantasy upside of both backs in the absence of Jacory Croskey-Merritt, with neither on the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 11 meeting with the Bengals.

Player Stats

White started in name only, playing the first two drives before splitting backfield duties with fellow veteran Austin Ekeler for the remainder of the game. The two backs ended with the same number of opportunities while also splitting red zone work, with White narrowly missing a touchdown in the second quarter on his second longest run of the evening, a seven-yard scamper up the gut that was stopped at the one. His lone explosive run went for 18 yards, with those two carries accounting for more than 50 percent of his yardage total on the ground. White has fallen into a strict timeshare in the absence of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and brings little fantasy upside ahead of a Week 11 meeting with the Bengals.

Quarterback

#5

Player Stats

A late second quarter touchdown drive that was sparked by a long reception by veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs was capped off by tight end Ben Sinnott’s first touchdown of the season to send the Commanders into the half with a three-point lead. The two sides would trade touchdowns in the third quarter before the wheels appeared to fall off for Washington, with their first three possessions of the final frame going turnover on downs, interception, and interception, allowing the Giants to nurse a four-point lead inside the two-minute warning. Daniels drove the field in 49 seconds on just three plays, connecting with Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with under a minute remaining. The Commanders would escape on the backs of a Rasul Douglas interception to send the team to a 3-5-1 record, now two games back of the Giants and with the first tie-breaker in hand following the previous tie. Daniels will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 11 meeting with the surging Bengals, where he will be an upside QB1 in another must-win game.

Nacua will be eligible to return for the Rams’ Week 15 game against the Cowboys. The Rams are on bye in Week 11, and he is required to miss at least four games. It was previously reported that Nacua was expected to return in Week 14 or 15. Shortly before the team made this announcement, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that the team was “confident” Nacua would return in that timeframe. Rams coach Sean McVay previously said that the Rams would not place him on injured reserve due to transaction limitations. It is unclear whether anything has changed. Nacua suffered PCL and MCL sprains, along with a turf toe injury in Week 10 against the Commanders. ESPN’s Adam Schefter specifically cited Nacua’s MCL sprain after the move was made, adding that McVay said Nacua will miss “extended time.” Nacua should be stashed on fantasy football benches at this time.
