The New York Giants are no longer listing Victor Cruz on their injury report, which means he is good to go in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears.

Cruz has been dealing with an ankle injury that sidelined him in Week 10. He was limited in practice all three days this week, but the Giants apparently feel confident he plays Sunday against Chicago.

In eight games this season, Cruz has caught 25 passes for 377 yards and one score. He missed all of 2015 while recovering from a torn patella tendon suffered in 2014. He does not look like the Cruz who was among the best fantasy receivers before that tear, but he has still been decent at times this year.

Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Cruz as the 7th-best receiver for Week 11. He faces a Bears defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to receivers this season.

Even with the favorable matchup, Cruz is not even worth rostering. Even when healthy, Cruz is not getting enough targets with Odell Beckham Jr., Roger Lewis, and Sterling Shepard in this offense.
