The New England Patriots and New York Giants are set to battle in prime time. While analysts and announcers are likely to recall the infamous two Super Bowl battles between Eli Manning and Tom Brady in 2007 and 2011, Monday’s matchup is likely only to be viewed as a high-stakes battle for both sides in a fantasy football context.

As such, here is a guide to the game to help frame what could happen so you can set yourself up for victory in the hours leading up to the contest.

New England awaits New York in its own stadium. New York is the one that must jump on a plane and travel to the venue. As such, the team will be somewhat more worn out than New England. That, coupled with tens of thousands of screaming fans working to Drake Maye’s benefit, will make things very difficult for New York.

Jaxson Dart, stuck without Cam Skattebo, Malik Nabers, or even his Week 1 head coach, will face one of the hottest teams in the AFC. Expect the young quarterback to give 100% effort, but it won’t be enough. Expect the Patriots to control the game, and aside from a mid-game small comeback, don’t expect much from New York.

Patriots vs. Giants fantasy picks

Had Jameis Winston started, New York might have been able to push Drake Maye a bit harder, but Dart is likely to play much more conservatively. As such, expect a busy first half for Maye and the rest of the passing game, but not much in the second half. TreVeyon Henderson is in line for a big game, however.

The Patriots’ defense could be a solid option for the contest, with New England able to lean on its fan base to help disrupt New York’s offense.

Jaxson Dart is likely to be quite busy all game long, as there will be plenty of pressure to throw to cut down the deficit quickly in the second half. Wan’Dale Robinson is likely to benefit as well.
