The Giants.com crew is presented with four statements and must decide whether they are Fact or Fiction.
Wan'Dale Robinson will lead the Giants in targets the rest of the way without Malik Nabers.
Dan Salomone: Fact – It might swing week to week depending on how games unfold, but in the long run, it will still be Robinson. We've talked about Darius Slayton climbing the record books, but Robinson could do some damage too. If he has 75 more catches this season (which would match his total of 93 from a year ago), he would get to No. 16 on the franchise's career reception list. Slayton is currently No. 15. Even with Nabers on the field last year, Robinson still had the fifth-most receptions in a single season in team history.
Matt Citak: Fact – While Nabers led the team with 170 targets last year, Robinson ranked second with 140. The next highest player? Darius Slayton with 71. Through the first four games this season, the target leaders are Nabers at 35, Robinson at 27, and Cam Skattebo and Theo Johnson tied at 15. Other pass-catchers will have to step up in Nabers' absence, but I fully expect Robinson to lead the group in targets from here on out. As he showed in Dallas in Week 2, Robinson is more than capable of lining up on the outside in addition to his work in the slot, something the Giants will need with Nabers out.
Jaxson Dart will have double-digit rushing attempts again on Sunday.
Dan Salomone: Fact – Ten is a lot, but I don't see Dart or Daboll looking to take away any of his aggressiveness or ability to make loose plays. On top of that, the Giants have a big void to fill with Nabers out. They need to make up the yardage via the air or ground.
Matt Citak: Fiction – Dart showed last week that if needed, he can take a large workload in the run game. But I think part of his 10 carries last week was due to the Chargers' talented secondary. On paper, the Giants should be able to move the ball a little easier this weekend, which should mean fewer carries from the rookie quarterback. Additionally, with a quick turnaround next week for the Thursday game against the Eagles, the fewer hits Dart can take on Sunday, the better.

Containing Alvin Kamara is the No. 1 priority for the Giants in New Orleans.
Dan Salomone: Fiction – The Giants need to force some turnovers and give the offense a shorter field, which was the key last week. They don't win that game without the interceptions from Dexter Lawrence and Dru Phillips – and their long returns. The takeaways led to 11 points for the Giants with a field goal and touchdown followed by a two-point conversion. On the flipside, Dart never turned the ball over in his first start.
Matt Citak: Fact – Kamara's numbers don't look as impressive so far this season as they may have a few years ago, but make no mistake, he is still a threat as both a runner and receiver. He managed 120 total yards of offense against the 49ers just a couple of weeks ago, and has three separate games with an average yards per carry north of 4.0. New Orleans boasts a couple of talented pass-catchers in Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Juwan Johnson, but stopping Kamara is still priority No. 1 for the defense.
Abdul Carter will have his first solo sack against the Saints.
Dan Salomone: Fact – It's high time for the third overall pick, who has been affecting the game without getting the solo sack yet. He continues to stack good performances and is on the verge of getting home on one. He just needs to get there before Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux or Dexter Lawrence do.
Matt Citak: Fact – Carter is coming off his best game as a pro. Going up against the Chargers, the No. 3 overall pick came very close to picking up his first solo sack. He didn't quite get it, though, but did finish with an impressive five quarterback hits and eight total pressures, both of which led the team. He's been close on a number of plays through the first four weeks, and especially given the injuries the Saints have on the offensive line, this is the week Carter gets his first full sack.
