The New York Giants suffered a devastating loss on Sunday Night Football in Week 6 when receiver Victor Cruz torn his patellar tendon against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Rueben Randle
Rueben Randle is looking at a larger role on Sunday. Should you start him against the Cowboys?

Now, the team will need even more out of Rueben Randle. The third-year wideout has seen 9.8 targets per game in the last four weeks, but it hasn't quite translated to production just yet with only one score on the season. Quarterback Eli Manning targeted Cruz 41 times and running back Rashad Jennings is out with a knee injury, so there is going to be a lot of opportunity for Randle and rookies Odell Beckham Jr. and Andre Williams.
This week, the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys indoors. Surprisingly, the Cowboys have been a middle-of-the-pack pass defense, but their personnel suggests a dip will come in due time. Manning should put up some nice numbers as long as he gets some protection.
Fantasy impact: Randle is an alluring WR2 with upside this week in what could be a shootout. He shouldn’t be on any waiver wires right now.
