2014 Fantasy Football: Giants Player Rankings

3. Rueben Randle (Wide Receiver)

Randle has arguably the most rising stock of fantasy Giants fantasy weapon in 2014. Hakeem Nicks is almost certainly out the door as a free agent, which will clear the way for Randle to become New York’s number two target in the passing game. He had a little disconnect with Manning at times in 2013, but he’s still just 22 years old and you could say that about any of Eli’s passing weapons from a season ago. The reality is, Randle has a terrific blend of size and speed and knows how to make plays. Coming off of a solid 2013 season that saw him haul in 41 passes for six scores, Randle should build on his momentum and take the next step in his development. At least for drafting purposes, that should take the form of a WR2.

4. David Wilson (Running Back)

Wilson entered 2013 as a super sleeper. Andre Brown broke his leg before the season started, and instead of a solid change of pace runner with some upside, Wilson was suddenly a feature back who was a lock for RB1 production.

That wouldn’t be the case.

Instead, Wilson battled fumbling issues from the very beginning and had very few flashes of brilliance before having his season ended by a neck injury. He’ll once again be on sleeper lists going into 2014, thanks to his explosiveness and versatility. However, neck injuries are worrisome and he’s burned fantasy owners pretty badly already. It’s going to be hard to sell him as much more than a fringe “flex” play heading into next season.
