Giants Dynamic Wide-out on ‘Cruz’ Control
The defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants had a dazzling dream like season in 2011 that astoundingly ended with another surprising defeat over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. A team built upon pure talent and unpredictability set the standard for the year, as the Giants became the most unlikely playoff contenders amongst a solid core of NFL dynamos such as the Packers, Steelers, and Patriots. Part of their huge success is credited to several key players who emerged as rising superstars in the NFL such as Victor Cruz, who is seemingly becoming one of the hottest wide receivers currently playing the game.

The Lighter Side
Manning Backs up Tim Tebow in NY Media’s Eye
Mid-game praying? Charitable acts? CELEBACY? I must be talking about the Pope’s recent trip to Mexico. Definitely not one of the most popular NFL quarterbacks in the league. In fact it is the New York Jets Tim Tebow, the most talked about passer in the New York area. He is not even their starter however, he is backing up the much maligned, much talked about, and much more photographed former USC Trojan, Mark Sanchez.

Pre NFL Draft Super Bowl Odds

Kenny Britt Recovery Process Hits a Snag
Kenny Britt tore his right ACL and MCL last September, and had reconstructive surgery on Oct. 7. His season was over before it could even get started, but with the injury happening so early into the 2011 season, fans were optimistic he would be bounce back for 2012.
Raiders Run DMC “Making Cuts at Full Speed”
If Darren McFadden hadn’t suffered a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot week 7 of last year, he would have had a chance to crack 2,000 all-purpose yards. McFadden was also on pace to punch in 14 touchdowns for the silver and black.
Fantasy Value of the Cardinals Passing Attack
With the Cards selecting Michael Floyd in the first round of the NFL Draft, and a healthy Kevin Kolb and Wells, this could be an offense not unlike the 2008 Cardinals team. While I don’t think that Kevin Kolb is going to put up Kurt Warner-type numbers, the skill players could certainly grow by leaps and bounds.
NFL Fantasy Rumors and Links
Texans coach Gary Kubiak tells CBSSports.com that there is a “strong possibility” the team will add a veteran wide receiver. -Rotoworld suggests a player like Braylon Edwards or Plaxico Burress are in the running. The team tried the veteran experience last year with Derrick Mason, but it was unsuccessful. Mason was on the last-leg of his career, but the Texan’s offense is more complex than the norm. Most passing plays involve reading how teams react to the quarterback roll-out. Being able to adjust on broken plays or recognize zones and blitzes. There is not a lot to choose from in the FA wide-receiver market, but adding a skilled veteran could help the flow of the passing game….
