Giants vs. Redskins is a classic rivalry, one of the oldest and most cherished in the NFL, and undeniably a great way to kick off the NFL season. Last year's surprise champs taking on their oldest divisional nemesis - what's not to love? Like most football fans, I've been eagerly looking forward to it all week.
Too bad it's not too exciting from a fantasy football standpoint. I count four players who should be starters in most formats. Chances are, neither you nor your opponent has any of them. For most of us, it's almost like the fantasy football season... doesn't really start tonight after all. If you're chomping at the bit for fantasy action and thinking to yourself, What the heck, let's see what this Devin Thomas kid can do, snap out of it! Go grab a beer, sit back, and just enjoy some football.

Giants Down Redskins, Face Rams on the Road
You couldn't ask for a much better beginning to the 2008 season. Sure, the Giants left some points on the board. They didn't score in the second half. They only recorded one sack, that coming on Washington's very first offensive play from scrimmage. But make no mistake about it - the Giants dominated this game from beginning to end. Granted, the domination wasn't...

Opening Nightmare; Skins Run Over by Giants 16-7
For the new look Redskins, at least the first 29 minutes of opening night vs the Giants was about as bad as it gets. The team opened up the 2008 season with a lackluster 16-7 loss at the Meadowlands to their NFC East rival, and they were beaten up rather soundly by a defense that took some heavy shots on Jim Zorn's new look offense.
The Skins managed just 209 yards, 11 first...
