New York Giants Week 5 fantasy start/sit: Golden Tate is the new kid in town

The New York  Giants take on the Minnesota Vikings Sunday for Week 5. Will there be some new faces turning heads this week?

The New York Giants have officially graduated from Eli Manning High School AND are off to better things at “Danny Dimes” University. The vision test is over. The slate is clean, and the G-men are starting a whole new season of football.

Daniel Jones has brought this team back from the dead to a record of 2-2. It does not matter if their competition was lackluster in Tampa Bay and Washington. Wins are wins. An NFL team is still respected and taken seriously for being an NFL team. Okay…maybe not the Dolphins.

There are not many games that define an NFL season early on, but this is one of them. Think about it. The New York Giants now sit one game behind NFC East Division leader, the Dallas Cowboys. If the Pokes lose and Big Blue wins, the records will be tied, and Dallas will just have the division game lead over them.

Should Daniel Jones and his New York Giants pull off a victory at home this week, the conversation for playoffs should start when the final whistle blows. The Vikings are a playoff-caliber team so it should be a fun one at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

Against a formidable defense in the Minnesota Vikings, the rookie signal-caller has his work cut out for him. Let’s see where Jones lands in this week’s fantasy breakdown.
