Jaxson Dart’s first NFL start for the New York Giants signals a clear shift to a run-friendly, shotgun, and RPO-heavy attack, leveraging his mobility to spark a more dynamic offense against a 3-0 Chargers squad. New York grabs a 10-3 lead as the game unfolds, with Bellinger connecting for a key early conversion and Skattebo becoming a focal point in a crowd-energized MetLife. The stage is set for fantasy upside as the Dart era begins.

Expect growth for Giants playmakers as Dart’s rushing threat opens space for the passing game. The defense pins in the Chargers on methodical drives, while special teams contributions keep the scoring pipeline steady. The matchup underscores the importance of plan-adjustments in-season fantasy lineups: Dart’s legs, Skattebo’s burst, and Bellinger’s timing all become pieces to watch.

Jude McAtamney will kickoff for the New York Giants on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Chargers, taking over for Graham Gano who is on Injured Reserve with a groin injury (out at least four games). McAtamney beat out Younghoe Koo for Week 4 duties after a brief appearance last season. The Giants also shuffled the roster, elevating Neville Hewitt and Jude McAtamney, adding Elijah Garcia and Tomon Fox, and keeping Dante Miller off the active roster.

In the backfield, Devin Singletary and Cam Skattebo will handle most of the carries with Tyrone Tracy Jr. not on IR, suggesting a return window is possible. The kicking situation creates volatility for fantasy managers, while the two-back depth and evolving special-teams plans add risk in Week 4 against a Chargers squad ready to strike offensively.

Younghoe Koo returns to the New York Giants for a pivotal Week 14 kicking audition, competing with Jude McAtamney as the Giants prep to face the Los Angeles Chargers. A reporter’s mislabel linked Jaxson Dart to the spotlight instead of the kicking battle, but the real drama is the precision and leg distance Koo must deliver to secure the job. The outcome will shape Giants’ late-season scoring stability and fantasy kicker upside.

The homecoming narrative hides a high-stakes evaluation: consistency under pressure, handling long-range attempts, and matching the Chargers’ scoring tempo. If Koo wins the job, expect a more reliable fantasy floor for Giants’ drives and more kick opportunities that could sway weekly kicker rankings in playoff pools.
