The defense of the New York Giants is primed to be a productive defense in Week 4 versus the Chicago Bears. Entering Sunday's contest, the Giants boast the No. 25 ranked pass DVOA defense and the No. 28 ranked rush DVOA defense. Despite the struggles that New York's defense has had to begin the season, they'll have a premier matchup against Chicago's anemic offense in Week 4. Justin Field has only attempted 45 passes for the Bears in the first three weeks and he's still managed to be sacked 10 times this season. The second-year quarterback has also thrown four interceptions, so the defense of the Giants should be on everyone's radar this week.
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a viable option in leagues that use kickers in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. After not attempting a single field goal in Week 1, the veteran kicker has now made seven of his eight field-goal attempts in the past two weeks. The 35-year-old kicker has converted at least three field goals in each of the past two games, including four 50-plus-yard field goals. The Giants are slated to face the Bears in what is expected to be an ugly game at home, so Gano could see plenty of opportunities to kick field goals on Sunday.
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger could see an expanded role in Week 4 versus the Chicago Bears. The rookie tight end has seen a slight increase in usage in the past two weeks for the Giants. After not logging a stat in Week 1, the Georgia product has combined for five receptions, 56 yards, and a touchdown in the past two games. With Sterling Shepard out for the season, and a couple of the other wide receivers dealing with injuries, Bellinger could see more work on Sunday against the Bears. If you need a streaming option at the tight end position, you could do worse than the first-year tight end on Sunday.
New York Giants wide receiver Richie James could be busy in Week 4 versus the Chicago Bears. At the beginning of the season, it wasn't expected for the veteran wideout to have a decent-sized role in the offense with Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Kenny Golladay slated to be ahead of him on the depth chart. However, with injuries to Shepard, Toney, and Robinson, along with Golladay's future uncertain in New York, James has carved out a starting role on the Giants. In the first three weeks, the former seventh-round pick hasn't seen fewer than five targets in each game and he could have an expanded workload in Week 4.
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is poised to have a massive workload in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears. The former first-round pick has looked fantastic to begin the 2022 season after dealing with an ankle injury in 2021. Through the first three games for the Giants, the Penn State product has totaled 408 scrimmage yards on a healthy 66 touches (6.2 yards per touch) and he's found the end zone twice. Given the lack of receiving options and Sterling Shepard being out for the rest of the season, Daniel Jones could target his superstar running back even more moving forward. Barkley is an RB1 in Week 4 and he has the potential to score the most points of any running back on Sunday.
