Minnesota @ N.Y. Giants
Team Totals: Vikings 21.5, Giants 19.5
I like the Giants as a sleeper D/ST against Sam Darnold at The Meadowlands, where now-journeyman Darnold’s career spiraled with the Jets as 2018’s No. 3 overall pick. On the field, the G-Men hold a massive matchup advantage in the trenches, where the weakness of Minnesota’s offensive line is on an interior that could be bullied by 342-pound All-Pro NT Dexter Lawrence, flanked by dynamic EDGEs Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. A Week 1 Darnold meltdown and Giants upset win should surprise no one. … The Vikings kept only two tailbacks on their final roster, indicating full faith in the health of Aaron Jones and securing Ty Chandler as one of fantasy’s top handcuffs. Interior running lanes may be hard to come by versus Lawrence and Co., but Jones and Chandler tend to shine brightest on the perimeter, anyway. I like Jones as an RB2 play and Chandler as a must-stash in all leagues.
