Wes Welker and Hakeem Nicks on the Giants' Radar

The New York Giants must not feel 100 percent comfortable with the fact that Victor Cruz is expected back for week 4.

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team STD / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 59% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If anyone has been watching the Giants games, the only competent player other than Odell Beckham Jr. is Shane Vereen.

New York Giants (DEF, NYG) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add as Week 3 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington has been surprisingly not terrible since the start of the season.

We all have that one friend - that one obnoxious mofo who quotes stats in the form of insults and contentiously trolls haters on Twitter who throw shade at their precious team.

Back to tight ends, and the target expectations for them going into the 2015 season. Unlike the first five guys examined here in part one, we see that the back end of the top 10 tight end targets are less of a certainty and much more of a crapshoot. Such is the NFL as there […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 8-10 Current ADP: 84 STD ANALYSIS: Heading into his 12th season, Eli Manning may be surrounded by the best offensive cast of his career.

Rashad Jennings (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Eighth Round CURRENT ADP: Overall #84, RB #31 ANALYSIS: On the surface, it might appear that Jennings is too old, too brittle and in a backfield that's too crowded to trust him.

Three Underrated Fantasy Quarterbacks for 2015

While it may be tempting to go after big names like Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning, the draft price on these players will be very high.

Giants QB Eli Manning is an Easy Draft Steal

Eli Manning is currently ranked as the 12th best quarterback based on his ADP. He is being drafted behind the likes of Ryan Tannehill, Tom Brady, and Matt Ryan. Eli's draft position suggests he's just outside of most league's starting position but comes off the board as one of the first backup quarterbacks. Basically, Eli […]

WR Victor Cruz Should Rebound in 2015

Victor Cruz has a 1500 yard season to his name. He has a 10 TD season to his name. He was THE feel good story of the league. He was the guy the burst on the scene out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and never looked back...until last year. Two years ago Cruz was […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 6-8 as RB3 Current ADP: 106 STD, 68 PPR ANALYSIS: While Rashad Jennings has decent value, his age and injury history are concerns. Shane Vereen, his backfield partner, on the other hand, should provide solid value of his own as he racks up receptions. Vereen is strong and agile enough to get open […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as Low-End QB1 CURRENT ADP: 84 STD ANALYSIS: The stage is set for Eli Manning to post top-five QB numbers in 2015.

Manning owns one of […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Round 7 as RB3 Current ADP: 96 STD, 68 PPR ANALYSIS: With Rashad Jennings suffering an injury every year of his career and Andre Williams‘ complete lack of passing game ability, the Giants added Shane Vereen in free agency.
