Giants passing game (1 Viewer)

[shadyridr]

I have a funny feeling the Giants passing game goes off this weekend and possibly the rest of the season. Here's why:

1. Jerry Reece publicly stated the team has to go downfield more, be more aggressive, open the offense up a bit more

2. The team was getting used to a new offense the entire first half. They struggled at first so they started to lean on their running game. They scored 30+ 3 games in a row and then Jennings got hurt. Williams is not Jennings so they may go more pass heavy down the stretch.

3. They had a bye week to work on this.

4. They're talking about Beckham as a future star

Id start all your Giants this week...Randle, Beckham, Donnell, and Eli. They face a Colts defense that just got lit up by Big Ben who just lost two members of their secondary (Davis, Walden). They play at home on MNF coming off a bye.

Cool story bro

Aside from last year, Eli has historically been very good coming off of a bye. I agree with the premise and subsequently really like Eli in daily leagues this week.

I like the giants this week but I have no faith in Eli as a starter for my QB slot

I like OBJ a lot!

Nice schedule weeks 13-17. @JAC, @TEN, WAS, @STL, PHI. I don't trust Eli to be consistent, but the stage is certainly set for some offense.

Since Matty ice on bye might start Eli instead of tannehill who burnt me last week.

Gotta stay with Brady and his hot streak but Eli intrigues me this week a lot. Can the Colts defend the pass as badly again?

... kind of off topic but who do you like ROS... Randle or Crabtree?

AC Forum --> That way

I'm a Randle owner who's actually a little nervous about this week. I don't think you can read too much into the Colts defensive meltdown last week -- at the very least, you need to balance it against their previous week's shoutout of the Bengals -- and they will have Vontae Davis back this week.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if the Colts put Davis on the other team's top WR, or do they move him around the field? If so, which Giant WR would that be?

Garbage time counts! Ok this was a bad call but beckham is a star. I think they need to use Hillis over Williams. Hes more of a complete back.

Ugliest 350/2/0 I've ever seen. Still won me a couple hundred bucks.

The reasons should have been 1 item long... number 4. But where did eli finish since this thread?
