New York Giants

Odell Beckham JR (Wide Receiver): Beckham went from having his worst game of the season in week 7 to having his best. Beckham caught 8 out of 9 targets for 130 yards and 3 touchdowns. Beckham has been hit or miss this season so hopefully this performance will keep him going for fantasy owners.

Eli Manning (Quarterback): Manning also had a historic day, dominating the Saints defense. Manning finished the day completing 30 of 41 passes for 350 yards and 6 touchdowns. Brees just got the better of Manning in the end, plain and simple. Still this was an absolutely incredible fantasy day if you had either quarterback putting up these ridiculous numbers.

 

New Orleans Saints

Mark Ingram (Running Back): Ingram was relatively quiet in this shoot out. He had 16 rushing attempts for 80 yards and added on 4 catches for 39 yards.

Drew Brees (Quarterback): Brees was historic in his week 8 matchup tying the all-time passing touchdown record. Brees finished his day completing 40 out of 50 pass attempts for 511 yards, 7 touchdowns, and an interception. This was Brees's best game of the season if not his entire career. If you did not start him your struggling to comprehend the error of your ways.

Brandin Cooks/Willie Snead (Wide Receiver): Brees's main weapons on his historic day were peppered with targets. Snead caught 7 of 8 targets for 76 yards and 2 touchdowns while Cooks caught 6 of his 8 targets for 88 yards and 2 touchdowns. This is possibly the best performance we will see from either of them all year long.

Ben Watson (Tight End): In this historic game of course Brees favorite tight end would get in on the action. Watson finished with the best stat line of his career catching 9 out of 10 targets for 147 yards and a touchdown.
