Preseason is officially over which means it’s time to focus on fantasy drafts. These players all have substantial draft capital attached to them, but they could stumble out of the gate.
Here is a look at the latest Giants roster moves…

No. 8 seed Maria Sakkari fell 6–4, 6–4 to unseeded Rebeka Masarova in the first round of the U.S. Open on Monday, but spent much of the time after the match discussing something other than her play.
