Turner faces tough test
In his Week 15 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes, "the defending Super Bowl champions have given up the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs on the road (10.83 PPG)." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM
Analysis: Falcons RB Michael Turner seems to find the end zone more often than not, and even more so when he's playing at the Georgia Dome. Just keep in mind that this week's matchup against the Giants isn't a favorable one.

Garcon a Week 13 sleeper
In his "Week 13 Sleepers" report, Adam Rank notes the Giants "have allowed the sixth-most points to receivers in 2012. In fact, the Giants have allowed 16 receiving touchdowns, the most in the NFL." FULL SLEEPERS REPORT
Analysis: We've waited for Garcon and he finally made his re-emergence against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. It's about time, right? With RG3 throwing bombs all over the field, this is a nice option this week.

Morris has previous success vs. G-Men
In his Week 13 "Like/Dislike" analysis, Adam Rank notes, "Alfred Morris got into the end zone against the Cowboys to snap a streak of four consecutive games without a touchdown. But he continues to be the guy for the Redskins." READ: LIKE/DISLIKE
Analysis: Morris will square off against the Giants 16th ranked rush defense in Week 13. The G-Men are allowing an average of 114 yards rushing per game and six touchdowns this season. Though he was held out of the end zone in their Week 7 meeting, he did rush for 120 yards.

Steelers could thrive vs. Giants secondary
In NFL.com's "Playbook" analysis, Sterling Sharpe believes the Steelers league-leading 51.9 third down percentage will lead to a victory over the Giants. He notes the Steelers "quick strike offense" allows for Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown to get into a quick rhythm, which has led to success under Todd Haley. WATCH: STEELERS vs. GIANTS ANALYSIS
Analysis: The Giants have been vulnerable against the pass this season (26th), allowing an average of 273 yards per game and 11 touchdowns.

G-Men stout vs. run
In his Week 9 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em analysis, Michael Fabiano notes, "The G-Men have given up just three rushing touchdowns and the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, making Dwyer a real roll of the dice." READ: START 'EM, SIT 'EM
Analysis: Dwyer has rushed for 100-plus yards in two straight games, but the potential return of Rashard Mendenhall plus a tough matchup against the Giants makes him a risk in fantasy land.

Giants lacking CB depth
In his "NFL Notebook" analysis, Albert Breer notes, "Through seven games, New York is 24th in total defense and 26th in pass defense. While the Giants snuck out of Texas with a win over the Cowboys on Sunday, Dez Bryant was able to haul in that ill-fated would-be touchdown despite a pair of New York defenders being near him. The Giants snagged four interceptions, but that didn't give them license to yield 437 yards through the air to Tony Romo." READ: NFL NOTEBOOK
Analysis: The biggest problem revolves around a lack of depth at corner, something the Washington Redskins exploited in Week 7. It should be interesting to see the Pittsburgh Steelers test that depth with Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, et al., on Sunday.

Analysis: Austin hasn't been consistent this season, but it's tough not to like him against the Giants. He's found the end zone in three of his last four games against New York.

Davis, Giants revisit history
With several injuries to the Giants' secondary, NFL.com's Albert Breer believes it's "not exactly the most opportune time to face Vernon Davis, who scored both of the Niners' touchdowns against the Giants in last year's NFC title game (one for 73 yards, the other for 28 yards)." FULL PLAY SHEET ANALYSIS
Analysis: Davis is a must-start in all formats, ranking second among all fantasy TEs with 54.30 fantasy points this season. Expect his best effort in the title game rematch.

Richardson sees weakness in Giants' defense
Running back Trent Richardson sees a chink in the Giants' armor he believes the Cleveland Browns can exploit Sunday. "I think that if we cover the edges and run our hardest -- don't be doing all this juking and stuff like that, on move and go -- I think we can have pretty good success in the running game." FULL STORY
Analysis: Though the Giants are allowing an average of 118 yards per game on the ground, they have only allowed two rushing scores. Consider Richardson a borderline No. 2 or 3 RB play this week.

Giants defense faces favorable matchup
Between Vick's turnovers and a questionable offensive line, defenses have feasted on the Eagles in 2012.
