Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 4 In Week 3, the AFC East let us down with a non-competitive drubbing. This week, things have more potential with the Dallas Cowboys traveling to New Jersey to face the Giants. Hopefully, the second week in a row in this venue has more scoring. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 4 looks at all the fantasy-relevant players to forecast the game. It's always entertaining to watch these two NFC East rivals square off. The Cowboys are reeling after dropping two straight home games. Conversely, they had won their previous 17 at AT&T Stadium. Therefore, they're probably welcoming a change of scenery. And a game against a foe they've defeated in 11 of their last 12 matchups. Conversely, the Giants are coming off of an upset win in Cleveland. New York's offense has been more competent after their opener. With some momentum, they're trying to get to 500 while simultaneously delivering a knockout punch to their hated rivals. This game opened with Dallas favored by four. However, the line quickly jumped up to Dallas -6. The total stands at 45, up a meager half-point from its opening total. Matchup

The Dallas offensive ranks look good on paper. However, a big chunk of that production came in futile comeback attempts in their past two losses. The lack of balance and inability to run the ball has hurt the Cowboys. Additionally, the Dallas defense has crumbled. The Cowboys currently rank 28th in overall defense and have allowed the third-most points. Dallas ranks dead last against the run and has allowed 28-plus points in every game. New York is surrendering 318 yards of offense per game, which is middle of the pack. However, only three teams have scored fewer points. Look for the Giants to try to slow things down and exploit that struggling defense. On defense, the Giants rank 13th against the pass. They're worst against the run (23rd) but don't expect Dallas to be able to exploit that. The real question here is can the Cowboys stop the bleeding to cool off Mike McCarthy's hot seat? Dallas Offense  Dak Prescott leads the league with 851 passing yards. However, touchdowns have been hard to come by. Prescott has only thrown...
