After flirting with a potential return for the last couple of weeks, New York
Olivier Vernon will make his season debut on Thursday. Huge for the Giants who are struggling to rush the passer.

When healthy, Vernon
While many owners might wait a week to let Vernon shake off the rust, starting the Giants defense tonight isn't a bad idea. Thursday Night Football games favor the home team and are often low scoring as is evident by the 43.5 over/under.
it would be wise to monitor this Giants defense week to week as they could see big improvements, becoming fantasy relevant over the latter half of the year (see weeks 8, 10 and 11 with matchups against the Redskins, 49ers and Bucs, respectively).
