Adebo’s return anchors New York’s revamped secondary as he shadowed Washington’s top target and held him in check, a promising sign for a defense still finding its footing. The Giants leaned on Jevon Holland’s arrival to bolster the back end, while the offense struggled to sustain drives. With Dallas looming and Lamb expected to draw Adebo again, New York faces a harsher test, but the early signs are of a unit capable of growth and discipline as the season progresses.

Traveling is a familiar edge for elite corners, and Adebo’s approach—focus on one target, refine technique, and execute the play call—illustrates how New York plans to mitigate formidable WRs. The Cowboys’ Lamb will be a bigger challenge, and while the Giants still need to iron out issues on offense, the defensive improvement and Holland’s integration provide a foundation for fantasy managers eyeing sneaky Week 2 values and defensive upside going forward.
