Cruz has been the most valuable weapon in New York's passing game this season and has caught touchdown passes in five of eight games. The Giants face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Cruz remains a top-end fantasy wide receiver and should be ready to play on Sunday, barring any setbacks. He didn’t have a great game in Week 8 but there is no reason for fantasy owners to panic after last weekend’s effort.
Hakeem Nicks is healthier and becoming a bigger part of the offense, but Cruz is firmly established as a must-start receiver in fantasy lineups.
