Giants face Rams this Monday night

The Rams arrive at their Los Angeles stadium to face the Giants on Monday Night Football after a season-opening loss to the 49ers in Australia. The Giants, meanwhile, look to build on their surprise Week 1 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

Rams look to bounce back after loss in Australia

The season opener, played in Melbourne, left the Rams with an underperforming showing against the 49ers. The team was without Myles Garrett, who is sidelined with a knee injury, and defensive end Aaron Donald is expected to be limited to around 30 snaps in his return.

Giants arrive as live underdogs

After pulling off an upset against the Cowboys, the Giants enter as live underdogs against the Rams. Quarterback Jaxson Dart, in his first game under head coach John Harbaugh, completed 79.3% of his passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, while adding 54 rushing yards.

Fantasy options for the matchup

Daily fantasy expert Mike McClure recommends building your lineup around Dart and tight end Isaiah Likely, who had an impressive debut with eight receptions, 78 yards, and two touchdowns. Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is listed as questionable but still holds high scoring potential.

Featured betting plays

Among the betting suggestions, running back Kyren Williams stands out with +400 odds to score the Rams' first touchdown. Another point of interest is wide receiver Davante Adams to exceed 62.5 receiving yards, considering the Giants' difficulty in covering both Adams and Nacua.

Outlook for Week 2

If the Rams can overcome the logistical challenges of their travel and improve offensive consistency, they can bounce back to 1-1. For the Giants, maintaining the efficiency of Dart and Likely could solidify the team as a playoff contender even at this early stage.
