Week 5 – Josh Brown vs. Atlanta
Josh Brown hit his first three field goal attempts in Week 3 against the Texans, and then was 1 of 1 in a route against Washington last week. The Giants rarely had to settle for field goals against a Washington team that couldn’t stop the New York offense, so Brown also ended up with six extra points.
This week, Brown will face the Falcons coming off a loss to the Vikings on Sunday. The Falcons struggle on defense and with the Giants offense finally clicking, Brown has some value. He is still a risky start however with the Giants really only showing signs of life on offense for two out of the first four weeks of the season. It’s tempting to use him as an upside guy, but there probably are better options available on waivers.
