The New York Giants and Miami Dolphins have the same record at 5-7. But the Dolphins sit in last place in the AFC East, five games back of the division lead, while the Giants are tied for first in the NFC East and with some down-the-stretch wins could seize a playoff slot. They cap off the Week 14 option against each other Monday.
Both teams come into Monday's game largely healthy from a fantasy perspective. The Giants will have all their fantasy contributors ready to go for the game, while the Dolphins will likely be without wide receiver Rishard Matthews for a second straight week, but should otherwise have all their options.
The Dolphins host the Giants Monday. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the fantasy considerations:
GIANTS
Start ‘em: In the last five games, Odell Beckham Jr. has had at least 10 fantasy points every game and is averaging 19.4 fantasy points a game.
Start ‘em?: You're forgiven if you're out on the Eli Manning experience after some rough production lately, but he's still averaging almost 20 fantasy points a game in his last five. He's low-floor, but high-upside. ... With Larry Donnell on injured reserve, Will Tye will be the team's primary tight end. He's been decent of late, but he's risky. ... Josh Brown has struggled the last two weeks, but has crazy upside.
Sit ‘em: You can't use any of the New York running backs at this point. Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, Andre Williams and Orleans Darkwa might combine for some decent fantasy days, but individually there isn't much to work with. ... Rueben Randle's numbers have really fallen off lately. ... The Giants' defense hasn't done much in recent weeks.
DOLPHINS
Start ‘em: Last week was a miserable fall-apart for Jarvis Landry but he'd been a monster before that. Expect a bounce-back this week.
Start ‘em?: In his last three games, Lamar Miller has 15 total fantasy points. He still has big upside, but he's no guarantee. ... DeVante Parker has been strong for two straight weeks; with Rishard Matthews hurt, Parker's stock should keep rising.
Sit ‘em: When was the last time you could feel confident starting Ryan Tannehill? It hasn't been recent, that's for sure. ... Jay Ajayi is still an interesting runner, and he could do a lot if he had the gig to himself, but he's totaled only 19 fantasy points in five weeks. ... Jordan Cameron has been awful in his first year in Miami. ... Andrew Franks has five total fantasy points in his last three weeks. ... The Dolphins' defense has six negative fantasy days out of 12 games this year.
