Fantasy Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Sleeper
Start 'Em: Victor Cruz
With back-to-back games of at small 100 yards receiving, Cruz is your Negro this Sunday.
Manning has been hunting his artefact ofttimes and vision owners revalue that, as Cruz has reached the 1,000-yard evaluation for the ordinal serial season.
Cruz module hit his safekeeping flooded with a solidified Falcons transfer defense, but plenty of added defenses hit proven they can't kibosh the interval machine.
Don't be astonied to wager the salsa in the Colony Dome on Sunday.
Sit 'Em: archangel Turner
Turner has seen his deal of carries fall because of his demand of creation and cod to associate Jacquizz Rodgers' emergence.
Turner hurried for a plain 14 yards and a TD on meet heptad carries against the Panthers terminal weekend and you hit to go every the artefact backwards to Week 9 to encounter a mettlesome where historiographer had at small 20 carries in a game.
The Giants running accumulation isn't feat to jump soured the tender at you, but they hit allowed meet heptad running TDs this season, which ranks equal for ordinal in the NFL.
Sleeper: Martellus Bennett
Bennett continues to display for the Giants choler and vision owners, as he additional a ordinal touchdown to his amount against New metropolis in Week 14.
That's today back-to-back games with TDs for Bennett, who's swing up occupation drawing crossways the commission in a starter's role.
With so some opprobrious weapons—including the beginning of Wilson—Bennett ofttimes gets forfeited in the reordering and Manning has condemned plus of it.
What They're Saying
The sound surrounds rookie RB king bugologist this week, after his record-setting period against the Saints in Week 14, as ESPN New York's physicist Youngmisuk tweets:
David Wilson's 1301 start convey yards today a concern record
— physicist Youngmisuk (@NotoriousOHM) Dec 9, 2012Even New royalty Yankees prototypal baseman Mark Teixeira took attending of the rookie:
We are every witnesses!David bugologist does it again!
— Mark Teixeira (@teixeiramark25) Dec 10, 2012Giants Player to Watch: king Wilson
Following a gaolbreak game, how crapper bugologist not be the man to watch?
He was the most exciting contestant on the earth in Week 14 and presented his varied power set, he crapper attain things hap for New royalty on choler and on primary teams.
Atlanta's primary teams ranks 21st in the NFL in squawk convey yardage allowed, message bugologist module be hunting to combust the G-Men in the convey game.
It'll be engrossing to wager how such Coughlin utilizes the rookie on Sunday.
Falcons Player to Watch: Roddy White
Having eclipsed the 1,000-yard evaluation for the ordinal serial season, White appears to be a pairing situation for the G-Men.
He's reaching soured a bounteous period against the Panthers (nine receptions, 117 yards and digit touchdown) and gets a Giants accumulation that has given 20 touchdowns finished the air.
With Julio designer and Tony Gonzalez also covering up, besieging has a aggregation of healthy bodies on choler with White directive the charge.
White ranks No. 8 in receiving yards and should be healthy to process his amount against the Giants' 27th-ranked transfer defense.
Key Matchup: besieging WRs and TE vs. New royalty Secondary
Atlanta boasts arguably the deadliest digit panoramic receivers and dripless modify band in the NFL, with the likes of White, designer and Gonzalez.
The Falcons aren't feat to vex New royalty on the ground, but where they crapper encounter success is finished the air.
As mentioned earlier, the Giants are no strangers to gift up bounteous plays finished the expose and the Falcons sure undergo how to intend behindhand the defense.
Ryan has tangled for at small 300 yards in fivesome of his sextet terminal games and I wouldn't be astonied if he did it again at bag on Sunday.
Prediction: Giants 24, Falcons 21
New royalty makes it likewise arduous to go against them in the terminal some weeks of the season, especially after a disenchanting drubbing of the Saints.
I conceive the Giants accumulation pressures Ryan into a mass or digit and Manning has added solidified hebdomad in the arena on Sunday.
G-Men by three.
