Monday Night Football Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks & Predictions: Giants vs. Cowboys

Sterling Shepard (+265)

The Giants are starved for pass catchers. Shepard has reemerged as an option for Big Blue. He’s seen a 26.9% target share and a 30.4% target per route run rate. He’s 33rd in yards per route run and 49th in yards per target. He’ll run about 59% of his routes against Trevon Diggs and Anthony Brown. Diggs has allowed a 66.7% catch rate and 107.1 passer rating. Brown has given up a 70.6% catch rate and 119.7 passer rating.

Richie James (+450)

Kadarius Toney is still dealing with a hamstring injury and not practicing. After eating into James’ slot routes last week, Toney could miss this week, pushing James back into a full-time role. Last week his route run rate dipped to 60.5%, but his target per route rate (23%) and target share (18.8%) remained strong. James ranks 17th in yards per route run and is the 29th-highest graded wide receiver per PFF (minimum ten targets). He’ll match up with Jourdan Lewis on nearly 81% of his routes. Lewis has allowed a 75% catch rate and 107.8 passer rating.

Saquon Barkley (+425)

Barkley has been everything we wanted so far this season. He’s averaged 24 touches, 111 total yards, and 83% of the snaps played. He’s third in opportunity share, second in weighted opportunities, second in evaded tackles, and sixth in breakaway run rate. Barkley can take advantage of a run defense that’s 28th in adjusted line yards, 30th in second-level yards, and has allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate.

Tony Pollard (+800)

While Pollard’s snap rate decreased in Week 2 (39%), he was his usual explosive self, with the team concentrating on getting him involved. He finished with 13 touches and 98 total yards. His 23.3% target share last week and 54% target per route run rate were nice. Pollard looks to have another solid week against a Giants’ defense that ranks 30th in DVOA against receiving backs. They have allowed the eighth-most receiving yards and most receiving touchdowns to running backs.
