Randle or Barden (1 Viewer)

With Hixon and Nicks out, which NYG receiver will step up and be the best fantasy play tonight?

I'm not sure what to make of this situation. Some are saying Barden is ready to break out. Randle is the better talent, but has very little experience.

Note: Bennett is not in this list because I'm only looking at the WR position. I'm sure he will see an increase in targets tonight due to the injuries.

Barden will get more playing time, and he has great physical ability. I think he'll make enough plays to go 4 for 60 or something, hopefully get a TD.

The Pharoh will score more than reuben largely due to being on the field a helluva lot more. You have to imagine without Diehl they might wanna keep in the TE more often, and additionally run more 2 TE sets for protection.

Barden has trouble getting separation and doesn't use his size to his advantage. Randle has lived up to his "NFL ready" label in camp and preseason. Randle might get less snaps but I expect him to out produce Barden.

Camp reports described Randle as having Manningham's size and athletic ability with Steve Smith's hands and route running.

If he keeps it up, outside WR2 in 3WR sets with Cruz back to his natural position in the slot. Going to be third in targets but possible flex stat if you're hurting in bye weeks with the occasional TD here and there, but not consistent enough to start comfortably. If Nicks misses any games, he's a must start unless you're already deep @ WR.
