Giants Face Saints in Week 5 Without Nabers, Dart Makes Road Debut
The New York Giants will face the Saints in Week 5 without their top wide receiver, Malik Nabers, who has been ruled out for the season with a torn ACL. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will make his first road start, with the spotlight on how the reshuffled receiving corps responds.
Nabers' injury occurred while attempting to catch a deep pass from Dart in the Giants' last game. The second-year wideout had been a key player for the Giants, tied for the team lead in receptions with Wan'Dale Robinson. His absence leaves a significant void, which will be filled by Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt. Dimers' top bet for this game is Giants +2 (-110), as the model sees New York keeping the contest within a single point. The Saints are favoured to win, with a 56% chance according to Dimers' 10,000 simulations, and a projected final score of Saints 21, Giants 20. The top Saints players projected to score a touchdown are Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and Rashid Shaheed, while the top Giants players are Cam Skattebo, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Jaxson Dart.
The Giants will face the Saints in Week 5 with a reshuffled receiving corps, led by Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jalin Hyatt. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart will make his first road start, with the Giants backed by Dimers' top bet at +2 points. Despite the Saints being favoured to win, the Giants are expected to keep the game close.
