New Orleans snapped its 2025 skid with a 26-14 win over New York, riding five Giants turnovers to seize control and avoid a larger margin thanks to two Grupe misses. Kellen Moore and Spencer Rattler finally notch their first career wins, feeding a promising spark for a Saints attack that finally clicked in the second half. A defining moment was Rattler’s 87-yard connection to Rashid Shaheed; the big-play threat flashed the upside this offense has lacked through the first four weeks. The win should lift locker-room morale and set a tone for a more confident, aggressive attack going forward.

From a fantasy lens, Shaheed’s long score is the blueprint: big plays create ceiling, and Rattler’s arm is starting to stretch the field. The defense also fed off momentum, repeatedly turning Giants drives into chances for Saints points. As Moore stabilizes the game plan and Shaheed grows into a clear weekly play, fantasy managers should monitor the Saints’ evolving rhythm and any shift toward more explosive targets in the weeks ahead.

Jaxson Dart’s rookie run with the Giants continued to pop, showing two-way upside even with Nabers sidelined. Week 4 delivered 111 passing yards, 54 rushing yards and a rushing TD against the Chargers; Week 5 vs the Saints he went 11-of-16 (68.8%), tossed 2 TDs, and added 38 rushing yards, posting a 127.6 rating. The consistency and multi-score ceiling keep him a high-leverage fantasy streamer.

With Nabers out for the year, Theo Johnson seized the red-zone role, catching both of his targets for 16 yards and two TDs. Bellinger and Slayton saw early targets as NYG shuffled receivers, while Skattebo chipped in as the clear early-down option. Shaheed’s long Saints score kept the game tense, but Dart’s rhythm and Johnson’s emergence give the Giants a clear fantasy lift moving forward.
