NFL Week 8 Fantasy Preview: New York Giants at New Orleans Saints, Odell Beckham, Mark Ingram, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead, Ben Watson

Oct 29, 2015 03:12 PM EDT

New York Giants

Odell Beckham JR (Wide Receiver): This week should be Beckham's week to shine as he was shut down all of week 7 by the Cowboys. Now Beckham comes in a week healthier ready to dominate this Saints secondary. ODB should put up double digit points on the Saints weak secondary.

Eli Manning (Quarterback): Manning is going up against a Saints defense that has given up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks all season long. Manning should bounce back from having a terrible week against the Cowboys.

New Orleans Saints

Mark Ingram (Running Back): Ingram does not have as scary a matchup as it appears. The Giants should be extremely vulnerable to the running game especially after the game Ingram put up last week where he had over 100 yards. Ingram should be in for a ton of carries against a porous Giants defense.

Drew Brees (Quarterback): Brees may have a down week coming up as the Saints have figured out how to get the most out of their rushing attack. Brees should play second fiddle to Ingram as I doubt they will have to rely on the pass all game long. The Giants have given up the 11th fewest points to quarterbacks in 2015.

Brandin Cooks/ Willie Snead (Wide Receivers): Cooks and Snead should have some room to work with Amukamara still dealing with a pectoral injury. Cooks should likely be the benefactor of this but he has been widely inconsistent all season. Either player would be a solid flex start.

Ben Watson (Tight End): Watson has seen an uptick in targets and should find a lot of open spaces against the Giants. The Gmen have given up the 4th most fantasy points to tight ends all season and it would be shocking to see him not get into the end zone for this contest.
