Former New York Giant punter Steve Weatherford calls it the “Snoopy Bowl” — the game between the Jets and Giants that happens every year during the preseason.
Every four years though, we are lucky enough to get the two teams to face off in the regular season when the games count. And on Sunday, the two teams will take the field in their home stadium to battle for a win.
With the teams both experiencing disappointing seasons, the game may have lost a lot of its juice. If nothing else, many will be watching to see their fantasy players on Sunday.
Lets take a look at some players you should consider starting this weekend.
Golden Tate, WR
With the Giants decimated by injury, Tate seems to be a good starting option by the process of elimination. The Giants will likely be without both Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard. Even if Engram plays, the Giants will likely ease him back as he has been in a walking boot all week. With or without Engram and Shepard, Tate should have a big role in the Giants offense on Sunday.

Le’Veon Bell, RB
If Bell plays he will likely have a big game against the Big Blue defense. We all saw what Ezekiel Elliot and the Dallas running game did against Giants defense last week and with a good running back like Bell, he could go off on the Giants defense. Bell has been effective all season long in fantasy — not only in the rushing attack but in the passing game as well. The Giants have to game plan against the Jets duel threat back.
Saquon Barkley, RB
You know the drill here, you drafted him high for a reason. It would be tough to imagine anyone having Barkley on bench any weekend he is in the starting lineup. Barkley is due for a big game after having little success against the Cowboys on Monday night. Barkley remains a must start in all leagues. And although the Jets are stout against the run — one of the few things they do well — you have to assume Pat Shurmur will finally wide up and use him more in the passing game.
