Likely and Skattebo carry the Giants, Diggs wins it late

The lead changed hands six times in the rain at MetLife. The last change came when Jayden Daniels found Stefon Diggs behind the defence for a 32-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left. Rasul Douglas then picked off a deep ball from J.J. McCarthy, and the Commanders won 24-21.

Likely is a starting tight end now

On Wednesday we had Isaiah Likely as a start over Chig Okonkwo. He finished with nine catches for 127 yards, and the 66-yard catch-and-run that put New York ahead with eight minutes left. He had five catches at half-time, so this wasn't one long play padding a quiet night.

That's the usage you want from a tight end. Treat him as a weekly TE1 against Jacksonville, and if someone in your dynasty league still prices him as a streamer, buy.

Skattebo, again

Cam Skattebo ran 18 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns, and caught McCarthy's underhand flip for 34 yards. The Giants give him the goal line and most of the work between the 20s. He's an RB1 whenever he's healthy, and he isn't for sale in dynasty.

Washington's passing game

Daniels threw three touchdowns for the first time this season, and two interceptions, the first of them his first pick in 208 attempts. Hold him as you were. The interest is in who caught the scores. With Terry McLaurin out indefinitely, rookie Antonio Williams caught a 31-yard touchdown and two balls for 42 yards. That's a small line, but he's playing real snaps in an offence with targets going spare. He's an add in deep leagues and a stash in dynasty.

Diggs had six catches for 83 yards and the winner. He's a WR3 while McLaurin is out, nothing more at his age. Ben Sinnott scored from a yard out, which isn't a role. Okonkwo was questionable to return in the first half with a back problem, so check on him before Washington plays Cincinnati on 23 November.

Where our calls went wrong

We picked Malik Nabers over Diggs, and Diggs won the night. Nabers also fumbled in Washington territory when the Giants were already in field-goal range. One bad night doesn't change what he is. He's still the Giants' top receiver and a weekly starter.

McCarthy threw for 293 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw an interception and lost a fumble. He's a superflex QB2, and the deep ball that ended the game is why you don't trust him in one-quarterback leagues.
