Nick Mullens burst onto the NFL scene in primetime as he shined versus the Oakland Raiders on Thursday Night Football in Week 8. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback was filling in for an injured C.J. Beathard in what was supposed to be a one-and-done spot start. But after finishing with an efficient 16-of-22 for 269 yards and 3 touchdowns, Mullens will get another start for the 49ers in Week 10. His matchup is a little more difficult, but not an unbeatable one, as he faces the New York Giants on Monday night.

Over their last four games, the G-Men have given up an average of 268.0 passing yards and 1.8 touchdowns to quarterbacks, for over 18 fantasy points per game. The Giants' defense as a whole is struggling too, allowing 25.6 points per game while registering just 10 sacks in eight games. That should give Mullens plenty of time to attack the Giants' pass defense, which falls in the bottom 10 of all NFL teams, according to our metrics.
