Richie James Could Surprise In Divisional Round Matchup
2 years agoNew York Giants wide receiver Richie James could be a surprising option in Saturday's Divisional Round bout against the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran wideout caught four of his targets for only 31 yards in last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings. That being said, the former seventh-round pick has garnered five-plus targets in five straight games for the Giants. While the Eagles allowed the eighth-fewest points per game to WRs, they gave up the 17th most points per game to slot WRs, which is where James spends most of his snaps. He also recorded seven receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 versus the Eagles.
