Wilson carved up the Cowboys with 450 passing yards and 3 TDs, yet the Giants still soured a prolific day with a boatload of penalties, losing in overtime after a red-zone turnover. New York piled up 506 total yards, but 14 penalties for 160 yards ruined critical drives and kept the score closer than the yardage suggests.

Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson both cleared 140 receiving yards in a historic Giants aerial show, while the defense battled penalties down the stretch. The OT fumble by Wilson and in-game miscues overshadowed the offensive fireworks, leaving fantasy managers weighing high-volume contributors against the volume of self-inflicted mistakes.

Malik Nabers faces a trio of offseason injuries as Week 1 looms, but early reports lean toward him suiting up for the Giants’ opener vs. Washington. The LSU product flashed elite target share and efficiency last season, and New York has upgraded its quarterback room to maximize his ceiling. Nabers’ health nuance—toe nagging but not career-threatening—keeps his fantasy outlook high upside with a clear path to big-volume weeks if he’s on the field.

Last year Nabers logged a monster target share and produced 1,204 yards on 109 catches, despite inconsistent QB play. With Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and surprise depth at quarterback, the Giants’ passing game could finally unlock Nabers’ true fantasy potential. Monitor practice status, as Nabers remains a player with immense upside but risk tied to his health trajectory and week-to-week availability.

Marte Mapu shifted to linebacker under Vrabel-Williams, trimming to about 215 pounds and unlocking downhill, coverage-ready instincts. He’s a core special-teams performer who has started to read, shed blocks, and close on plays at a higher level. With 53-man cuts done, New England’s depth at the second level could push Mapu into bigger defensive duties if injuries test the roster.

Newcomers include DeVito and Woods, while Gonzalez’s hamstring status looms as Week 1 approaches. The Week 1 clash with Las Vegas could expose Mapu’s fit in real-game speed, while Maye’s opener might carry jitters for a rookie quarterback room. The mix of roster turnover and Vrabel’s scheme sets the stage for a pivotal start to the Patriots’ season from a fantasy IDP perspective.

Patriots claim Tommy DeVito after his Giants exit, placing him in a QB room with Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs. DeVito impressed in a preseason meeting with New York, going 17-for-20 for 198 yards and three touchdowns, building a narrative of potential in Foxborough. The move folds into Josh McDaniels’ system with a veteran Daboll connection, while DeVito embraces a new, Italian-American culture in New England.

Fantasy-wise, DeVito represents a high-upside stash in a two-QB or superflex format. His rushing ability pairs with NE’s offense, offering a conceivable path to mop-up reps or spot starts if Maye hits early rookie bumps or Dobbs misses time. Off-field notes about his family ties and support network add texture to a story of opportunity and growth in New England.
