Sterling Shepard catches five passes in Giants’ loss.

Shepard gained 48 yards on his five receptions (seven targets). He’ll have an easier matchup in Week 2 against the Cowboys, and he’s in the FLEX conversation for that game.

Wayne Gallman gets three touches in Week 1.

Gallman received one carry for -1 yard and had two receptions for nine reaching yards against the Jaguars. Saquon Barkley is the clear leader in the Giants backfield, so Gallman is going to struggle to get enough touches to be a solid fantasy option.

Tyler Boyd works as clear No. 3 receiver in win over the Colts.

Starting alongside A.J. Green and John Brown, Boyd caught three passes for 26 yards. The 23-year-old only has fantasy value in deeper leagues right now on a talented offense, but he should be a useful real-life weapon for Andy Dalton and the Bengals.

Odell Beckham Jr. goes over 100 yards against the Jaguars.

In a tough matchup with Jalen Ramsey and the Jags, Beckham had a very good game, getting open throughout the contest. The 15 targets certainly helped, but Beckham put up 11 receptions for 111 receiving yards, along with one carry for -1 yard. It could’ve been a bigger game for OBJ, who beat Ramsey on a route in the end zone, but Eli Manning was pressured and missed the throw. Beckham will be an excellent option in fantasy lineups next week against the Cowboys.

Tyler Eifert caught three passes for 44 yards in Sunday’s win over the Colts.

The biggest takeaway from Eifert’s performance is that he stayed healthy, and he will be a great target for Andy Dalton over the middle as long as that’s the case. As for Week 2, the former first-round pick might be asked to block a little more than usual against Baltimore’s elite defense, so he remains a preferred TE2 rather than a TE1 option.

Jonathan Stewart gets two carries in Week 1.

Stewart gained eight yards on his two rushing attempts, as he was clearly behind Saquon Barkley. Stewart is off the fantasy radar for now.

Saquon Barkley breaks 68-yard touchdown in first NFL game.

The Jaguars did a nice job of bottling up Barkley for much of the afternoon, but the rookie running back is one of those guys that just needs to keep getting fed the ball because he has a good chance of eventually breaking one. The 68-yard touchdown was on a run that he bounced to the outside and broke a few arm tackles before showing great balance and breakaway speed down the right sideline. Overall, Barkley had 18 carries for 106 rushing yards and the touchdown while adding two receptions (six targets) for 22 receiving yards. Keep Barkley locked into lineups as a great RB1 next week against the Cowboys.
