New York Giants wide receiver Reuben Randle is going to see more snaps as the team's slot receiver for the remainder of the season, according to Jordan Raanan of the Newark Star-Ledger. Randle has 34 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns through seven games this season.
Rueben Randle to see more action in the slot moving forward, fantasy value on the upswing
The Giants’ sophomore pass catcher will get a lot busier after the bye week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: With rookie Odell Beckham Jr. and Preston Parker behind Randle on the depth chart and Victor Cruz (torn patellar tendon) out for the season, a move to the slot could mean big dividends for Randle's fantasy owners.
The possession receiver has been targeted at least nine times in each of the last four games, so it's obvious quarterback Eli Manning is looking his direction. That said, Randle has yet to eclipse the hundred-yard mark this season.
After their bye week, the Giants draw the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. It should feature a lot of offense from the Colts' Andrew Luck, which means Randle may be in for a big day as he tries to do his best to help the Giants keep the game close.
