  • No Giants road game has gone over the game total (0-5-1), the only team in the league to have all of their road games go under the game total.
  • Miami has limited opponents to score on 20.4% (10-of-49) of their drives over the past four weeks, third in the league. This after allowing opponents to score on 52.4% of their drive prior (30th).
  • The Giants have scored a touchdown on 13.9% of their red zone plays, the lowest rate in the league.
  • Daniel Jones has completed 38.1% (16-of-42) of his passes in the red zone, the lowest rate among qualifying quarterbacks.
  • Tua Tagovailoa leads the league in completion rate (78.6%) and touchdown rate (57.1%) inside of the 10-yard line.
  • Tagovailoa is averaging 5.2 yards per pass attempt against the blitz as opposed to 8.0 Y/A when not blitzed, that -2.8 Y/A differential is the lowest in the league.

Trust = spike production for that player

Quarterback

Tua Tagovailoa: Tagovailoa has completed 54-of-64 passes the past two weeks and has moved up to second in completion rate on the season (70.5%) among passers. The fantasy points haven’t fully flowed as he has been the QB13 (17.5 points) and QB17 (13.2 points) in these past two starts, but the floor has been high overall. In Tagovailoa’s six full games played, he has been lower than this recent QB17 finish just once and that was in Week 1. 

We have a low point total here to imply there will not be fireworks while the Giants are seventh in yards allowed per pass attempt (6.9 Y/A), sixth in yards allowed per completion (10.1 yards), and 12th in touchdown rate (4.3%) allowed to opposing passers. That leaves Tagovailoa as a high-floor QB2.
