A lot of the disappointment surrounding the 2018 New York Gi

has been focused on what the offense hasn’t been able to do with the talent at its disposal. The struggles on defense might be overlooked because of the opposite problem — there was a clear lack of overall talent on that side of the ball at key positions. Now as the Giants focus their midseason transition on the defense Authentic Kerry Wynn Jersey , we’ll get a bit of a new look when Washington comes to the Meadowlands in Week 8.By the numbersFor more information on marginal efficiency and marginal explosiveness, go here.Time for a youth movementWith the trades of Eli Apple and Damon Harrison earlier in the week, two starting spots opened up on the defense — spots likely to be filled by younger players looking for a shot to make a bigger impact.In Apple’s spot, B.W. Webb is likely to move from the slot to outside and defensive coordinator James Bettcher said both Grant Haley and Sean Chandler would get time in the slot. Haley is an undrafted free agent cornerback out of Penn State, who the Giants made a big effort to sign following the draft. After an up and down preseason, Haley was cut and signed to the practice squad with the cut down to a 53-man roster. Haley was promoted prior to the Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons, but only played three defensive snaps. At Penn State, the 5-foot-9 Haley played both in the slot and outside with success at both areas. Last season Haley allowed just a 43.5 percent completion percentage on 131 pass snaps and 23 targets in the slot, per the PFF Draft Guide — though he only spent 38 percent of his pass snaps in the slot.Chandler, also undrafted, was a surprise player to make the initial 53-man roster. To this point in the season, Chandler has only been on the field for one defensive snap, but has been on the field for 51 percent of special teams snaps. He was a safety at Temple and through the preseason, so a move to the slot would be a slight position change.Replacing Harrison will be more of a team effort. While John Jenkins best fits the profile of a 3-4 nose tackle (327 pounds), the Giants are more often in nickel with a four-man line and are likely to go a little smaller on the interior with more snaps for Dalvin Tomlinson and rookie B.J. Hill. This season Tomlinson had already played more snaps than Harrison — 57.5 percent to 54 percent — but getting Hill on the field more (39.7 percent of defensive snaps played) will be a positive thing for the growth of the defense. Despite playing significantly less often, Hill only has one fewer run tackle (5) at or behind the line of scrimmage than Tomlinson (6) — both still well below Harrison, who led the team with 9. Hill has also shown the ability to rush the passer from both the interior and on the edge in a four-man front. Hill’s two sacks are tied for the team lead and his three tackles for loss are now technically also tied for the team lead (Harrison had four). Adrian Peterson is backOn the other side of the line and the other side of a youth movement is Adrian Peterson. After a weird season with the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals Authentic Alec Ogletree Jersey , Peterson looks more like the player of old in his current tenure with Washington.But while he’s looked closer to the Peterson of old, he’s added a new dimension to his game — running from shotgun. Part of the downfall of Peterson’s ability to play in the modern NFL was how one dimensional he made an offense while he was on the field. He wasn’t going to catch passes and he was only going to be able to run with the quarterback under center. But this season, Peterson already has 37 rushing attempts from shotgun, which ties his career high for a single season set back in 2010. He’s also been slightly more efficient from shotgun with a 49 percent success rate opposed to a 45 percent success rate under center this season. Peterson is also once again making defenders miss. He’s 10th in the league with 22 combined broken tackles on rushes and receptions — an average of a broken tackle on 20.2 percent of his touches. That might be a problem against a Giants team that has continually struggled to tackle well. Curtis Riley and Alec Ogletree are both tied for the third-most broken tackles in the league with six — that accounts for 17.6 percent of Riley’s tackle attempts and 20 percent of Ogletree’s, per Sports Info Solutions. Ogletree did not practice on Thursday, so his status may be in doubt. He’s played every defensive snap for the Giants this season.Wanted: A pass rushThe Giants had three sacks of Matt Ryan on the first two drives against the Falcons and it looked like it was going to be a long night for the Atlanta quarterback. Then for the rest of the game, he was only hit two more times and brought down once on a sack negated by a defensive hold.Per SIS charting from Football Outsiders, the Giants are now 19th in defensive pressure rate and even when the Giants are getting pressure they’ve been rarely been able to bring down the opposing quarterback. Per FO, they rank 31st in adjusted sack rate. Washington is 18th in offensive pressure rate allowed and quarterback Alex Smith holds onto the ball longer than the average quarterback — 2.78 seconds per Next Gen Stats — despite his average pass being shorter than the league average.Olivier Vernon has made an impact since he’s been back — he’s already sixth on the team with five pressures despite playing in just two games — but the other secondary pieces of the pass rush have not been able to make a difference. Kareem Martin leads the team with 12 pressures, but much of that was at the start of the season when he was the team’s primary pass rusher.Fantasy football waiver wire: 5 adds for Week 5 We’re a quarter of the way through the regular season — even further through the fantasy season — and impactful waiver wire pickups will continue to get rarer. But there’s still a few players widely available who can help your fantasy team over the next few weeks. Let’s take a look at this week’s waiver wire targets:Nyheim Hines, RB, Indianapolis ColtsRostered - Yahoo: 15% | ESPN: 15.5%In two of four games this season, Hines has seen at least nine targets. Against Houston, Hines got 11 targets, which tied for the team lead with Chester Rogers as T.Y. Hilton missed time and it resulted in two receiving touchdowns. Hines played a nice 69 percent with Marlon Mack out and Mack was limited on Monday. Even if Hines isn’t playing 70 percent of future snaps, he might have done enough to earn a role as the receiving back and maybe, more importantly Authentic Nate Solder Jersey , Andrew Luck’s trust. Hines’s role could be important going forward on a team that’s likely to pass often while trailing.Taywan Taylor, WR, Tennessee TitansRostered - Yahoo: 6% | ESPN: 3.9%With a healthy Marcus Mariota and Rishard Matthews out of the rotation, Taywan Taylor took over as Tennessee’s No. 2 receiver. Taylor played 63 percent of the snaps for the Titans, the second most among their wide receivers, and his nine targets tied with Dion Lewis for second on the team. His average depth of target (12.1) was just behind Corey Davis against the Eagles. Taylor has the talent to be a consistent contributor in the offense and now it appears he also has the opportunity.T.J. Yeldon, RB, Jacksonville JaguarsRostered - Yahoo: 50% | ESPN: 46.8%This is probably a no-brainer and 50 percent ownership is as high as I’ll go for a player in this column, but it’s important to note Yeldon is still available in half of fantasy football leagues — more than half if you play on ESPN. Leonard Fournette will be out indefinitely, so Yeldon will take the load as Jacksonville’s top back (even though Corey Grant should get more playing time). Against the Jets, Yeldon got 62 percent of the snaps and had 18 carries for 52 yards and a touchdown. He also added three receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown. Without Fournette in the lineup, Yeldon played 58 percent of the snaps against the New England Patriots and 67 percent against Tennessee. The Jacksonville offense is apparently going to go how Blake Bortles goes — a risky week-to-week proposition — but for however long Fournette is out, Yeldon will get a lot of work. Taylor Gabriel, WR, Chicago BearsRostered - Yahoo: 6% | ESPN: 6.6%Gabriel finally had his breakout game in Week 4, along with the rest of the Bears offense. But Gabriel has at least seven targets in each of the past three games. Last week, he had 10 targets with an aDOT of 18.1 Youth Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , the seventh-highest depth of the week. In Week 4, Taylor got his seven targets at an aDOT of 9.6 and took that for 104 yards and two touchdowns. His role has grown each week, especially since the start of the season when he was only taking screens and “touch pass” pseudo-handoffs in the backfield. Against the Buccaneers, Gabriel played 79 percent of the offensive snaps, which trailed only Allen Robinson at wide receiver.Chicago will be on a bye Week 5, so you’ll have to stash him for a week before he can be used, but he can turn into a high upside play starting in a week.Vance McDonald, TE, Pittsburgh SteelersRostered - Yahoo: 43% | ESPN: 31.3%In the Steelers offense, Vance McDonald isn’t going to lead the team in targets, but there are enough opportunity and enough chances at big plays for McDonald to be a solid play at tight end. McDonald has received five targets in each of the three games he’s played. This week turned into 62 yards and last week it was 112 yards and a touchdown. McDonald, now healthy, out-snapped Jesse James 62 percent to 44 percent against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.He’ll continue to get decent looks and maybe more if the Steelers’ defense remains a unit that struggles to stop opposing offenses.
