New York takes control after slow start
The New York Giants overcame an 11-point first-quarter deficit to beat the Arizona Cardinals 36-24 at MetLife Stadium in Week 4. New York won its second straight game and improved to 3-1, while Arizona dropped to 1-3 with its third consecutive loss. Arizona led 14-3 after the opening quarter, but New York outscored the Cardinals 16-3 in the second to take a 19-17 halftime lead. The Giants extended that edge to 27-24 through three quarters, then scored all nine points in the fourth to close out the win.
Winston and Nabers lead the passing game
Jameis Winston completed 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns, with two interceptions. Malik Nabers turned seven targets into six catches for 112 yards and a touchdown, giving New York its biggest receiving performance. Isaiah Likely drew 12 targets and caught seven passes for 66 yards. Malachi Fields added 52 yards and a touchdown on two receptions, giving the Giants another productive option beyond Nabers. New York's defense recorded two sacks and intercepted Jacoby Brissett three times while allowing 270 total yards.
Wilson stands out for Arizona
Brissett finished 21 of 35 for 166 yards and two touchdowns, but his three interceptions weighed against that scoring production. He also rushed four times for 18 yards. Michael Wilson accounted for 95 of Arizona's 166 passing yards, catching seven of his 13 targets. Marvin Harrison Jr. caught one of four targets for a 12-yard touchdown, while Elijah Higgins caught both of his targets for 19 yards and a score. Tyler Allgeier carried eight times for 42 yards and a touchdown. He added two catches for seven yards.
Fantasy takeaways
Nabers delivered the game's highest supplied PPR total at 23.2 points, combining strong yardage with a touchdown. Winston finished with 18.0 points despite his two interceptions. Wilson's volume supported a 16.5-point PPR performance without a touchdown. Likely's seven receptions helped him reach 13.6 points, while Fields produced 13.2 on only three targets. That contrast matters for fantasy evaluation: Likely had a larger receiving workload, while Fields relied on a touchdown and 52 yards from two catches. Allgeier posted 12.9 PPR points. Harrison scored 8.2, with his touchdown accounting for most of his production.
Week 5 schedule
The Cardinals host the Detroit Lions on Oct. 11 at 4:25 p.m. ET. The Giants visit the Washington Commanders earlier that day at 1 p.m. ET.
