New York Giants – Fantasy Foreplay – Analysis Featured on Cover32.com

Cover32LogoNew York Giants at Chicago Bears

We know the faithful New York Giants fans want a comeback.  They wait patiently for that late season spark that seems to get their team into the Super Bowl.  But we have a feeling this is not that “bounce back” game everyone wants.  Sorry.  And that could translate into a tough day for fantasy owners as well.

This week, we made some gut calls on Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and Eli Manning.

One of our gut calls:

Gut Calls

Hakeem Nicks

#30 Ranked WR

Last week Hakeem Nicks jumped back on the radar with 142 yards receiving. Unfortunately, Nicks has yet to catch a TD and the Giants seem to get worse each week. Chicago allows the 17th most points to WRs. If you think they will blanket Cruz, leaving Nicks open and if you think those passes won’t be intercepted, then play him. If you can’t trust the Giants, maybe you should try to trade him.  This might be the height of his value.

NY Giants Need to Figure Out WR Situation

New York GiantsESPN’s Ed Werder reported today that Victor Cruz and the NY Giants are at a standstill.  No one’s budging.

Only a week and a half ago NY Giants’ team chairman, Steve Tisch,  told USA Today, “We’re talking.  I’m personally confident that Victor wants to be a Giant, will be a Giant.”  Even though Victor Cruz has the skill set to thrive outside, he’s absolutely fabulous in the slot.  And, unfortunately for him, the guys who play inside traditionally don’t make the big money like the outside guys.  Cruz believes his skills are worth top dollar, and from a fantasy perspective he’s right.

Victor Cruz No Show

On the first day of voluntary NFL offseason workouts New York Giant fan favorite, Victor Cruz, was a no show. Although the team did not publicly announce which players were in the building, an anonymous source not only stated that he didn’t show, but also that no one associated with the organization was surprised by this development.

Reports indicate that the fourth year wide receiver isn’t in danger of getting flabby. He’s been working out all around team, even with both Eli and Peyton Manning at Duke University last week.

Cruz wants a multi year deal, and some nice money. And frankly, he’s one of the best and deserves some love. But if the Giants hold out, it looks like he’ll probably play this year as a restricted free agent, but then look for another home next year. For all my fantasy peeps, I don’t think we’re in danger of a year long hold out. If anything, he’ll be playing for a contract. Either way, he’s still near the top of everyone’s list, where he belongs.

For now, the other players will work out, bond with teammates and hope to get their teammate back sooner rather than later. We all need more salsa.
