Youth Sterling Shepard Jersey , in the words of center John Greco, “not where we want to be” after one quarter of the 2018 NFL season.Can they right the ship?The road to redemption, if you will, won’t be an easy one. It begins on Sunday with a Week 5 trip to Charlotte, N.C. to face the 2-1 Carolina Panthers, who are coming off an early-season bye week and favored by a touchdown.Coach Pat Shurmur said after last week’s loss to the New Orleans Saints all the Giants can do now is “just keep playing.”“I think we on all three sides of the ball have things that we need to get better at, and that’s what the focus is,” Shurmur said. “We’ve just got to play our way back into it. That’s the reality of it, and that’s the world that we live in as coaches and players, and we all have things we need to do better.”The Giants, expected to feature a potent offense fueled by explosive plays from Odell Beckham Jr., the game’s highest-paid wide receiver, and running back Saquon Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft Alec Ogletree Jersey , are 29th in the league in scoring 18.25 points per game. The heat is being turned up on long-time quarterback Eli Manning, and “McAdoo 2.0” is already being tossed around in reference to the offense put together by Shurmur.In other words, it’s getting late early for the 2018 Giants.The Giants might have linebacker Olivier Vernon (high ankle sprain) available for the first time this season when they face Carolina. We will find out more about his status, as well as that of cornerback Eli Apple (groin) and wide receiver/kickoff returner Cody Latimer (knee) as the week progresses. Both Apple and Latimer missed Sunday’s game vs. the Saints.The Panthers could be getting reinforcements of their own this week.On offense, wide receiver Curtis Samuel is expected to return after a minor procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat. Samuel was a second-round pick a year ago. On defense, newly-signed safety Eric Reid is expected to start Sunday against the Giants.By the numbers0 — That’s the number of touchdown receptions for Odell Beckham Jr. so far this season.6.2 — That’s the Air Yards per passing attempt being averaged by Eli Manning so far this season. The only quarterbacks below that number are Blake Bortles, Derek Carr, C.J. Beathard, Blaine Gabbert and Sam Bradford.74.2 — Manning’s completion percentage, far above his career-best of 63.1 percent and his career average of 60.1 percent.127.2 — Manning’s third-down passer rating. He is completing 80.5 percent of his passes on third down and has 33 completions. All of those numbers lead the league.100 — Saquon Barkley has hit the 100-yard mark in scrimmage yards in each of his first four NFL games. If he does so again vs. Carolina he will join Kareem Hunt (7) and Adrian Peterson (5) as the only players to hit that mark in their first five NFL games.27 — That’s the number of receptions Barkley has thus far, leading all NFL rookies. It’s also the number of rushing yards Carolina quarterback Cam Newton needs to surpass Randall Cunningham (4,482) for most rushing yards all-time by a quarterback with a single team.245 — Beckham (4,755) needs 245 yards to reach 5,000 receiving yards in his career.166.0 — The Panthers enter the game leading the league in rushing yards per game at 166.0. The Giants are 29th in the league in rushing yards allowed (126.0 per game) and 26th in rushing yards allowed per attempt (4.8).142.7 — That’s how many yards per game Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is averaging. That’s second in the NFL.Fantasy Football Friday: 3 tips for after your draft Maybe you’re drafting this weekend or perhaps you drafted already. Either way it’s important to remember your fantasy season doesn’t end after the draft. We prepare so long for the draft and sometimes it can feel like it’s all downhill from there 4Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , but it’s j’sst the beginning. So as you’re looking over your roster in preparation for the season to start on Thursday, there’s still plenty to do to help shape your roster for the rest of the season. These tips might seem obvious, but they can often be overlooked steps that can help give a little edge to start your fantasy year.Scout the waiver wireThere’s always a few players who break out in the first week or two who become the hot waiver wire targets. Sometimes they’re just flashes in the pan, but other times they can be season changers. Last year Alvin Kamara wasn’t drafted in most leagues, but won just about every league he was eventually picked up in later in the season. Not every waiver wire pick is going to be Kamara — or even come close — but it’s good to get familiar with the players you might be trying to acquire over the first few weeks of the season.When looking at these players it’s important to look at more than just how many points they put up the previous week. Look at the opportunity the player has to continue producing and look at the upcoming schedule for the potential impact for not just immediately following the pickup but in the week after. This is especially good if you’re streaming a position — you should probably doing that for at least kickers and defense — it’s ok to map out a potential streaming schedule.Also on this count, be familiar with how your waiver system works. Is it a straight priority system or is your league using FAAB, which allows you to bid on a player. If it’s priority, do you get bumped down the list once you make a claim or is it by record every week? For FAAB, have a preliminary outline of how you want to budget throughout the season.Know your opponents’ rostersYou’re going to spend a lot of time with your fantasy team this season, but you should also spend a decent amount of time with the rosters for everyone else in your league. It helps to know upcoming opponents and it’s good to scout out strengths and weaknesses. That can help you know if any of tryout leaguemates are more likely to go for a player on waivers and it can be a good first step of knowing who and what fits for trades in the future. Speaking of ...It’s always trading seasonPutting together and fielding trade offers can be one of the most fun parts of a fantasy football season. That can start almost immediately — it’s never too early to try a trade. Whether you were in a snake draft or an auction there’s probably a player you wanted but couldn’t grab for whatever reason. Sometimes fantasy owners can be a little attached to the players they drafted, especially early in the season, but it never hurts to test the waters. Even if the initial request doesn’t work out, getting familiar with the tendencies and temperatures of your trading partners can help make a future trade easier to execute.
