Rueben Randle and the New York Giants face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7. All things considered, the second-year receiver has produced reasonably well in the role of third stringer for the 0-6 New York Giants team. After going off for five catches and 101 yards in the season opener, the former second-rounder had a total of just six catches for 63 yards and zero touchdowns over the following three weeks combined. He then bounced back over the last two weeks recording a total of nine catches for 174 yards and three touchdowns.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Rueben Randle
The New York Giants wide receiver has been boom-or-bust through six weeks. Can he break out in Week 7 against the Vikings? We break down the fantasy implications.
Anthony Gruppuso-US PRESSWIRE
There have been several trade rumors that the Giants will listen to offers for the current number one receiver Hakeem Nicks, who is on the last year of his rookie deal. With Nicks' future with the team ambiguous and Randle playing at a high level when given the opportunity, it stands to reason that the Giants should continue to find ways to get their talented receiver involved.
Fantasy Impact: While starting a third-string receiver on any fantasy team always presents inherent risk, Randle’s production over the last two weeks simply can not be ignored. Facing Minnesota’s weak defense, Randle is a high-upside WR3/Flex play and owners could do worse.
