I absolutely do not trust any New York Giants wide receivers while Eli Manning is the quarterback.

Manning showed once again that he is not a viable quarterback option, and his inaccuracy has proven to be a fantasy plague on his wide receivers. Cruz only completed two catches for 24 yards in the Giants’ loss to Detroit, mostly due to Manning’s inability to get the ball into Cruz’s hands.

Cruz has the physical ability and speed to break open plays. We have seen this in the past, but we have also seen him struggle due to Manning’s struggle.

Things will not get any easier for Cruz, as they will have to face the vaunted Arizona Cardinals secondary. Cornerback Patrick Peterson will likely be draped over Cruz for most of the game, making a good fantasy output a tough task.
