Giants 2010 Fantasy Preview: Tight End


When it comes to fantasy tight ends, you have a few elite ones such as Tony Gonzalez and Dallas Clark and Antonio Gates, and then some up and comers like Brent Celek (ugh) and Jermichael Finley.  The Giants’ Kevin Boss is further down, but he definitely has the potential to be a Top 10 fantasy tight end if he stays healthy.

Giants’ 2010 Fantasy preview–wide receivers


Last season the Giants’ receiving corps. over-achieved, and part of that was because of the emergence of QB Eli Manning, and in the work he put in during the off-season with his young receivers.  As a result, Steve Smith made the Pro Bowl and was fantasy-relevant.  In addition, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham were excellent waiver wire pick-ups.  This year, all three of those guys will probably be drafted, or at least the first two.  Sadly, Domenik Hixon will miss the season with an injury, but that may open the door for second year man Ramses Barden.

Christmas in July


So I was out of town for a few days, and usually when I’m out of town things happen….good or bad.   In the case of the Giants signing LB Keith Bulluck, it’s all definitely good.  I watched this guy play in Tennessee for the six-plus years I lived there, and appreciated the hard nosed way he played the game and his leadership ability.  Bulluck will definitely fill the void left by Antonio Pierce, who retired a few months ago.

Is Anyone Else Concerned About August 1 Reporting Date?


Maybe I’m being paranoid, but when I look at the dates all of the NFL teams report to training camp, the Giants and Colts are the last two teams to report, on August 1.  Meanwhile, the Cowboys open camp this Saturday, July 24.  The Eagles’ rookies report July 26 while their vets report July 29, and the Redskins report July 29.

Giants 2010 Fantasy Preview: Running Backs


In 2008, the Giants’ running game was so dominant, they even rolled right over stiff defenses like that of Baltimore and Pittsburgh.  Brandon Jacobs had huge holes that his line created, but when he was one on one with a defender, he would bowl that defender over. In addition to Jacobs, the Giants also had Ahmad Bradshaw and Derrick Ward rounding out the league’s top rushing attack.  Last year, though, Jacobs fell on his face.  Not literally, of course, but his production dropped off considerably–from 1089 yards and 15 TDs to 683 yards and 3 scores.  And his yards per carry went from 5.0 to 3.9. Turns out that Jacobs was playing on a sore knee most of the year that required surgery after the season.  Hmmm.

Over the next couple weeks, we’ll start taking a look at the Giants and their fantasy projections for the 2010 season.  Today we’ll begin with the quarterback position, which is Eli Manning and hopefully no one else.  I live in Madison, Wisconsin, so apologies to Jim Sorgi for that last comment.

Awesome Strahan Commercial


In case you missed this or haven’t seen it yet, I just had to share this awesome Dr. Pepper commercial featuring former Giant (and likely future Hall of Famer) Michael Strahan.  Seeing Mike on TV isn’t that odd–he was in a sit-com, sits on the analyst panel for Fox NFL Sunday telecasts and has been on Subway commercials with that Jared dude.

An Early Look at the Giants’ 2010 Season: Part 4


Here we’ll take a look at the fourth part of the Giants’ upcoming 2010 season, and this is where they will either make a playoff run or fall off the face of the earth again.  I have them confidently at a solid 9-3 so far through the first three-quarters of the season, but this schedule gets absolutely brutal toward the end.  Here is how I see it all shaking out:
