The diminutive Jets castoff has
scored at least 10 fantasy points
in all three games since joining

vs. the pass.
• Todd Heap, TE, Baltimore
(vs. Buffalo): The Bills have
allowed a league-leading five TDs
to opposing tight ends.
• Josh Brown, K, St. Louis
(vs. Tampa Bay): Brown has
kicked multiple field goals in four
straight games.
• Seattle defense (vs. Ari-

Composure still key for
Giants with Dallas next
For Eli Manning, the key
to beating Dallas next Mon-
day night is the same as it
was for beating the Lions
Sunday — patience.
The Giants had it during
an up-and-down, 28-20 vic-
tory over Detroit that gave
them a three-game winning
streak. The offense didn’t
have a turnover and was
just patient enough to hang
in until a big play — Ahmad
Bradshaw’s 45-yard fourth-
quarter run — popped.
It’s exactly what the
Giants will need against
a struggling 1-4 Cowboys
team that will be tougher
than its record.
“It’s understanding that
there are going to be oppor-
tunities to hit big plays, and
sometimes you just have to
wait for them and you can’t
force things,” Manning said
after going 20-of-30 for 177
yards and two touchdowns
in his second game without
an interception. “Some-
times you have to learn
Rangers lose F Prospal (knee op) for 6-8 weeks
Vinny Prospal, the Rangers’
leading scorer last season with
58 points, underwent surgery
yesterday to remove a bone
fragment from his right knee
and will be sidelined six to
eight weeks.
