Saints host the Giants in Week 5 chasing their first win. The run game has carried them, but the aerial attack must spark with Spencer Rattler, while Olave and Shaheed must threaten downfield.

Giants' edge trio Burns, Thibodeaux, and Carter provides heavy pressure; Adebo, Flott and Phillips anchor the secondary. If Nubin sits, Belton steps in to test the Saints on early downs.

O-line must hold and Kamara must play a bigger receiving role to free up Olave and Shaheed.

Jalen Tolbert delivered the Cowboys’ clutch overtime 34-yard grab against Green Bay, a 7.2% completion odds moment that proves readiness matters in Dallas. He’s grown beyond targets, contributing with blocks, precise routes, and special-team value.

With Cooks gone and Pickens added, Tolbert must adapt to a shifting depth chart. If Lamb or Turpin are out, Tolbert could command a bigger, versatile role, especially in a looming Jets matchup where reliability and situational playmaking matter for fantasy managers.

Spencer Rattler's grit keeps him in the Saints’ lineup, but four weeks in his accuracy and anticipation lag behind NFL norms. The offense remains among the league’s least explosive, and the Saints must resolve the mismatch between his arm and the mismatches around him.

Olave and Shaheed have seen their big-play ceilings shrink, while Brandin Cooks offers a veteran spark when rhythm is there. Facing the Giants, fantasy managers must weigh Rattler’s ceiling against his volatility and whether the coaching staff should pivot—potentially toward Shough—if progress stalls.

Dallas Cowboys face Green Bay Packers in Week 4 under the same officiating crew that oversaw Dallas’s January playoff loss. Torbert’s crew is 1-5 in Dak Prescott starts with Dallas, and recent calls—illegal contact on DaRon Bland wiping out a sack, plus a non-call on Jaire Alexander’s contact with Brandin Cooks—have fans buzzing about consistency.

The matchup centers on penalties, whistle influence, and whether Dallas can adapt to a potentially tight game as officials scrutinize every contact.
