Giants Defense

After spending a ton of money to improve the defense in the offseason, the Giants appear to have a defensive unit that is beginning to gel. The last few weeks, we have seen the Giants defense create turnovers and get pressure on the quarterback.

In the secondary, the Giants are being led by second-year safety Landon Collins, who has four interceptions and a touchdown in his last three games. In addition to Collins controlling the middle of the field, cornerback Janoris Jenkins just recently did a good job against A.J. Green on Monday Night Football. With Alshon Jeffery out for the next four games, Jenkins won’t be challenged nearly as much as he was against the Bengals.

While the secondary has been playing very well, so has the high-priced front for the Giants. Against the Bengals, Olivier Vernon, and Jason Pierre-Paul were able to cause havoc against Andy Dalton.

Jay Cutler is no stranger to taking sacks, losing fumbles, or throwing interceptions. If the Giants defense plays like they have the past few weeks, they will produce plenty of fantasy points for their owners.
