New York’s defense remains a concern after an 0-2 start, with Week 2 exposing gaps in the back end and a leaky middle of the field. Dallas carved through the Giants’ coverage, piling explosive plays and yardage that dragged the game into overtime.

Prescott delivered 350+ passing yards on 52 attempts, Ferguson hauled in nine catches, and Pickens supplied a late 27-yard connection before Aubrey’s 64-yard winner. The loss tightens the schedule for New York, which now welcomes Kansas City in primetime as it tries to regroup and salvage its season.

Week 3 waiver targets wave up smart adds: Cam Skattebo seizes the Giants backfield, Jake Browning steps in as Cincinnati’s likely starter, and Drake Maye shows pocket poise with multi TD upside for New England. Elic Ayomanor locks in as a Titans WR2 option, Rhamondre Stevenson remains a solid NE FLEX, and Blake Corum’s increasing Rams snaps add upside behind Kyren Williams. Cooper Kupp stays a fantasy stalwart and Juwan Johnson offers TE depth for New Orleans.
