Wan'Dale Robinson Has 11 targets in two games

WR • NYG • 5min ago

Robinson caught five of six targets for 40 yards and added a seven-yard run in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis

Robinson has nine catches for 61 yards on 11 targets in two games since returning from a torn ACL. He finished second behind running back Matt Breida (48) in receiving yards Monday, while no other teammate had more than 24. The 2022 second-round draft pick out of Kentucky has carved out a prominent role in a Giants receiving corps without an obvious No. 1 option heading into a Week 5 road game against the Dolphins.

T.J. Edwards Ties for team lead in tackles

LB • CHI • 6min ago

Edwards finished Week 4 against the Broncos with eight tackles (seven solo).

Analysis

Chicago's defense saw significantly less work in Week 4 after getting demolished by the Chiefs one week ago, but Edwards still managed to tally eight tackles on 48 defensive snaps. This marks the first time this season he hasn't finished with double-digit tackles after racking up 17 tackles in Kansas City during Week 3.

Darren Waller Another forgettable outing

TE • NYG • 8min ago

Waller caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis

Waller was targeted on only one of Daniel Jones' 17 first-half passes. His second target didn't come until less than six minutes remained in the fourth quarter. The 31-year-old tight end may have lost a step, as he's reached 40 yards only once through four games with Big Blue and has yet to find the end zone heading into a Week 5 trip to Miami.

Matt Breida Gets 19 touches in Week 4 loss

RB • NYG • 11min ago

Breida rushed 14 times for 30 yards and caught all five of his targets for 48 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.

Analysis

Breida got a second consecutive start with Saquon Barkley (ankle) sidelined. He failed to find much running room behind a shaky offensive line that also allowed 11 sacks, but Breida led the Giants in receiving yards as Daniel Jones was repeatedly forced to check down. Barkley's hoping to return from his high-ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Dolphins, but if the star running back sits again, Breida should continue to handle the lion's share of backfield touches.

Daniel Jones Another dud on MNF

QB • NYG • 12min ago

Jones completed 27 of 34 passes for 203 yards and rushed 10 times for 66 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks. He was intercepted twice and fumbled twice, losing one.

Analysis

Jones completed 14 of 17 first-half passes, but he mustered a modest 121 passing yards and lost a fumble as the Giants took a 14-3 deficit into the locker room and remained the only team without a first-half touchdown this season. Things didn't get any better after halftime, as Jones was picked off twice, including a pick-six from Seattle's three-yard line. In fairness to Jones, the offensive line also didn't give him much time, as he was sacked 10 times. Jones fell to 1-12 in prime time games in his career, including 0-7 on MNF, but he'll have the benefit of a regular 1 p.m. Sunday kickoff in Miami as he looks to bounce back in Week 5.

Tremaine Edmunds Finishes with eight tackles

LB • CHI • 13min ago

Edmunds recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Broncos.

Analysis

Chicago's defense wasn't on the field as much in Week 4 as the offense started to show signs of life, but Edmunds still managed to rack up eight tackles on 48 defensive snaps. The Virginia Tech product has been the definition of consistency so far this year, totaling 39 tackles in four contests.

Nik Bonitto Finds quarterback often in victory

LB • DEN • 21min ago

Bonitto totaled four tackles (three solo), 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Bears.

Analysis

Bonitto spent the majority of his afternoon in the opponent's backfield and made a significant impact on the outcome of the contest by forcing a fumble in the fourth quarter that was scooped up for a 35-yard score. The former second-round pick sits with 13 tackles (10 solo), 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble through the first four games of the 2023 season.

Greg Rousseau Two sacks in win

DE • BUF • 24min ago

Rousseau had three tackles including two sacks in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins.

Analysis

Rousseau is up to three sacks on the season, tied for second on the team with Ed Oliver and half a sack behind Leonard Floyd. The defensive front should receive even more support with Von Miller (knee) returning to practice this week.

Micah Hyde Five tackles in win

S • BUF • 27min ago

Hyde registered five tackles (four solo), one interception and a pass deflection in Sunday's 48-20 win over the Dolphins.

Analysis

Hyde tied for third on the team in total tackles with Terrel Bernard and played in 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps for the first time this year.. His interception came in the third quarter on a pass intended for wide receiver Robbie Chosen that led to a Buffalo touchdown. He ranks third on the team with 17 total tackles through four games and is one of three players with two interceptions on the season.
