Outlook J.J. McCarthy
Cleared After Hip Scare Ahead of Rainy Clash With Washington
McCarthy enters Thursday night's divisional home matchup officially healthy after returning from a brief hip scare during Sunday's win in Philadelphia. Guiding the first-place Giants alongside key pass-catchers Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, and Isaiah Likely, he has protected the football well this season, though taking a hard hit on a short week could result in slightly limited mobility.
Rostered in roughly a third of leagues and rarely started, fantasy managers remain cautious since he has thrown just one touchdown pass across four appearances. Washington brings a forgiving pass defense, yet moderate rain, breezy outdoor conditions, and a low projected scoring total could cap big plays. Our models project around 210 passing yards, 16 rushing yards, and 15 fantasy points, making him a deep-league play.

Stefon Diggs Faces a Rainy, Low-Scoring Divisional Test in New York
Entering Thursday night healthy, Diggs operates as Jayden Daniels' primary receiver against the division-leading Giants. With Dyami Brown recently placed on injured reserve, Diggs headlines a thin pass-catching group alongside Antonio Williams and Luke McCaffrey, though his recent volume has been modest at six catches for 89 yards and a touchdown over the last two games.
Fantasy managers are starting him in roughly two-thirds of leagues after his recent rebound in trust, viewing him as a touchdown-dependent flex option this week. Moderate rain, breezy conditions, and an expected low-scoring script at MetLife Stadium could cap big plays. Our projections call for around four catches, 39 yards, and 11.4 fantasy points, keeping him viable in PPR lineups for his red-zone knack.
