The Skinny
Dart, who has always carried a Baker Mayfield-type edge, brings toughness and playmaking to this Giants team. The Saints, meanwhile, enter this matchup at 0-4, desperate to turn things around. With trade rumors swirling around Alvin Kamara, the backfield may be shifting toward Kendre Miller. On the Saints’ side, Chris Olave has emerged as a go-to weapon, while the Giants will be testing new passing-game chemistry with Nabers sidelined. For fantasy managers, this game offers intriguing starts, risky sits, and a few deep sleepers worth monitoring.
Start ’Em
🔥 Jaxson Dart – QB, Giants
Dart is bringing new life to the Giants’ offense. Last week, he threw 1 touchdown pass and added 10 carries for 62 yards and a rushing TD. His dual-threat ability makes him an excellent streaming QB, especially against a winless Saints team that has struggled against mobile quarterbacks.
Projection: 235 passing yards, 2 TDs (1 pass, 1 rush), 54 rushing yards
🔥 Cam Skattebo – RB, Giants
Skattebo’s versatility as both a runner and pass-catcher makes him a solid play here. The Saints have given up rushing scores to both RBs and even a QB (Josh Allen earlier this year). As the clear lead back for the Giants, expect him to get 18+ touches and a chance to hit paydirt.
Projection: 16 carries, 74 yards, 1 TD; 3 receptions, 22 yards
🔥 Chris Olave – WR, Saints
Olave is locked in as Spencer Rattler’s top target. Averaging 10+ targets per game, he’s due for a breakout scoring week. His route running and volume give him WR1 value even in a struggling offense.
Projection: 8 receptions, 104 yards, 1 TD
🔥 Kendre Miller – RB, Saints
The hype is real around Miller after his breakout performance last week. With Kamara’s name buzzing in trade talks, the Saints may limit his touches and turn Miller loose. He’s an upside RB2 with potential for a touchdown.
Projection: 14 carries, 68 yards, 1 TD; 2 receptions, 18 yards

💪 Wan’Dale Robinson – WR, Giants
With Nabers sidelined, Robinson should see an expanded role as Dart looks for reliable options underneath. His quickness and ability to turn short passes into chunk plays make him flex-worthy in PPR leagues.
Projection: 5 receptions, 57 yards
💪 Darius Slayton – WR, Giants
Slayton provides the vertical threat in this passing attack. He has boom-or-bust potential but will see more targets with Nabers out. If Dart can connect on a deep shot, Slayton could return flex value.
Projection: 3 receptions, 61 yards
Sit ’Em
❄️ Alvin Kamara – RB, Saints
Kamara’s role has been trending down all season. He’s seen limited involvement in the passing game—the area where he built most of his fantasy reputation. With possible trade talks heating up, the Saints may also preserve him. Until his situation clears up, he’s a bench candidate.
Projection: 10 carries, 32 yards; 2 receptions, 15 yards
Sleeper
🌙 Juwan Johnson – TE, Saints
Johnson has quietly become a red-zone favorite for Rattler, scoring 2 touchdowns already this season. He’s averaging 6 targets per game and provides a reliable second option in the passing attack behind Chris Olave. For managers looking for a streaming tight end or deeper flex play, Johnson is worth rolling out this week.
Projection: 4 receptions, 41 yards, 1 TD
Wrap Up
The Giants enter this game with momentum and an emerging star in Jaxson Dart, who brings toughness and dual-threat ability to their offense. With Cam Skattebo handling lead back duties and Wan’Dale Robinson/Darius Slayton filling the void left by Nabers, the Giants should keep pressure on the Saints’ defense. On the flip side, the Saints will continue leaning on Chris Olave and may give Kendre Miller a bigger workload as Alvin Kamara’s role shrinks amid trade speculation.
Fantasy managers should look to Dart, Skattebo, Olave, and Miller as strong plays this week, with Robinson, Slayton, and Johnson serving as deeper league flex or sleeper options. Kamara, however, belongs firmly on the bench until his situation clears up.
This matchup may not look flashy on paper, but for fantasy purposes, it’s full of opportunities, especially for managers willing to flex players in emerging roles.
