The NFC East leader hits the road as a minor favorite, as the Giants own one of the league's stingiest defenses with a banged-up J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, while Washington counters with Jayden Daniels' legs and a passing game still finding its way without Terry McLaurin.

J.J. McCarthy cleared the biggest hurdle of this short week, with the Giants expecting their quarterback to start Thursday after a hip injury knocked him out of Sunday's win over the Eagles and sent Jameis Winston in to throw a touchdown in relief. Winston stays the break-glass option if McCarthy is limited.
My take: McCarthy is a low-end QB2 who still has not thrown a passing touchdown in either start, so the fantasy read here is less about him and more about Malik Nabers, who has drawn 31.7% of the targets and 41.1% of the air yards with McCarthy under center. As long as McCarthy plays, that target funnel holds.

Cam Skattebo is a full go, per head coach John Harbaugh, after the Giants held their lead back out of Sunday's game to protect his hamstring on the short turnaround. Devin Singletary handled the workload in Philadelphia, playing 92% of the snaps and taking 23 of 26 backfield touches.
My take: a healthy Skattebo is back as a volume-based RB2 behind the worst rushing team in the league by success rate, which caps the ceiling but keeps the floor. If anything flares up in-game, Singletary is next in line but hard to trust him even with substantial volume.

Treylon Burks is set to return for Washington, carrying no injury designation for Thursday after a foot issue, which crowds a receiver room still operating without Terry McLaurin for the season. Stefon Diggs has absorbed McLaurin's role at a 78.8% route rate, and Chig Okonkwo has climbed to a 20.2% target share over the past month.
My take: Diggs is a touchdown-or-bust WR3/4 against a Giants secondary that smothers slot receivers, and Okonkwo is the more stable volume play, though the Giants' pass defense caps his upside.

Elsewhere around Wednesday's reports: Alvin Kamara (back) and Tyjae Spears (knee) were non-participants, Dalton Kincaid (ankle) and Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring) were limited, and A.J. Brown (knee) returned to Patriots practice as TreVeyon Henderson (illness) was ruled out for the Munich game.
