The New York Giants were able to pick up their second win of the season over the Buffalo Bills in Week 4, to run their record to 2-2. The Giants are starting to play better football on the field, and it is also benefiting anyone who has their players on their fantasy football teams as well.

The Giants have a number of players that are relevant in fantasy football circles because of the explosiveness of their offense. They have not been performing at the level many people expected, but they are still paying off dividends for the people that drafted them. Against the 49ers, the Giants regulars should be in all lineups again, but there will also be some players that have been overlooked that should be in starting consideration as well this week.

The 49ers have struggled mightily throughout the season thus far, but there are still some players that should warrant your attention in fantasy football as well. While their numbers are strong defensively, the Giants are far from a lockdown unit on that side of the ball. They still give up some numbers that fantasy football owners will like to see and should take advantage of.

As always, the Las Vegas lines are a good place to look when deciding what players to place into your lineups. According to them, the Giants and 49ers are expected to have one of the lower scoring games of the week, as their 43 point over/under is tied for the third least right now in the week. That means this is a game that many fantasy football owners will look over when creating lineups, but that would be a mistake.

There is still plenty of talent to feel comfortable using in this game. While most of it will come from the Giants side of things, the 49ers have some people to keep an eye on as well.
