Victor Cruz Injury Update: Probable to start, probable to produce big fantasy numbers
Victor Cruz is probable to face the Steelers. We break down the fantasy implications.
The Star-Ledger-US PRESSWIRE
Cruz has been fantastic this year with Hakeem Nicks struggling to stay on the field. He is tied for the league lead with seven receiving touchdowns, ranks fourth in receptions and sixth in yardage.
Fantasy Impact: There’s no way Cruz is going to miss this game and owners should start him with all of their confidence.The Steelers have a big hit in stopping the pass and lead the league in passing yardage allowed. Their corners aren’t great and they are making headway by their pass rush.
Cruz is a WR1, but it might not be a bad idea to sell high since Nicks could only hurt the UMass product.
