New York’s football teams haven’t given their fans much to cheer for or provided many options for fantasy football success this year.

The Giants and Jets have combined for no wins and six losses through the first three weeks of the season. If you’re looking for explosive offenses, you won’t find them in the Meadowlands. The New York squads’ offenses are both averaging less than 13 points per game, the lowest tallies in the National Football League. If the two Big Apple teams combined their offensive scoring outputs, they’d still be scoring fewer points per game than more than half the teams in the league. The best way to approach the Giants and Jets for fantasy purposes is to play whatever defense they’re going up against that week.
