New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders: 6 keys to victory in Week 1

The Giants open Week 1 in Washington armed with six victory pillars: minimize unforced errors, establish the run, attack Washington’s right-side O-line, unleash Russell Wilson on deep balls, tackle with discipline, and control the clock to shield the offense from penalties and turnovers. The plan hinges on Tyrone Tracy Jr. pounding the ground game while Wilson leverages play-action and big-play potential to boost the Giants’ fantasy upside in a hostile environment.

Moonball Russ aims to unlock explosiveness with Malik Nabers’ speed, while the club’s ball-security emphasis keeps Washington’s opportunistic defense from tipping the balance. In short, a balanced, mistake-free attack paired with stout tackling and clock management should tilt a Week 1 slugfest in New York’s favor, giving fantasy managers a few cornerstone weeks to ride the momentum.

Which Giants players benefit most from a run-heavy Week 1 script?How should fantasy managers approach Wilson’s deep-ball upside in Week 1 vs Washington?What defensive adjustments by NYG could help sustain a clock-control win?Which special situations could swing Week 1’s fantasy outcomes?
