New York Giants 4-7 at Washington Redskins 3-8
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Andre Brown
#3 Ranked RB
The diamond in the rough. Once again, Brown had a great game against the Cowboys last week. He rushed for 127 yards, caught four passes for 11 yards and scored a two-point conversion. Washington gives up the 7th most fantasy points to opposing RBs, so look for continued growth. Andre Brown is worth your investment.
Gut Calls
Victor Cruz
#15 Ranked WR
Last week Cruz caught two passes for 27 yards and one fumble against the porous Cowboys secondary. All this while Nicks was out and it was a must-win game. He’s the ex you can’t shake. You keep going back even when you get the same results, time and time again. If you can’t deal with him anymore, no one would blame you. If you just got a little depressed reading this write up, join the club. Cruz owners have felt this way all season.
Reuben Randle
#35 Ranked WR
Randle didn’t fare too well, either, but at least he didn’t fumble. Last week Reuben caught three passes for 64 yards. It’s nothing to write home about, but the Washington defense is so terrible we feel like we have to give you WR option other than Cruz and Randle was the top WR for the Giants last week. What does that tell you?
New York Giants Defense
#21 Ranked DEF
We may need to bring this group up in the rankings. Since Week 7, the Giants have forced at least one turnover in each game and in four out of five of those games they forced multiple turnovers. Washington continues to go through their growing pains, so there are some defensive fantasy points to be had.
Bench Warmers
Eli Manning
#23 Ranked QB
So many people thought that last week would be Eli’s “breakout game” because he played his best game of the season against the Cowboys in Week 1. Well, like the majority of the year, it was lackluster. It’s a juicy match-up, with Washington giving up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing QBs, but time and time again we watch Eli drudge through mediocrity. It’s hard to believe that will change anytime soon.
