New York Giants receiver Rueben Randle was targeted a team-high 10 times against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, catching four of those for 33 yards and one touchdown. This was his third week in a row with 10 targets and his three-target game from Week 1 seems like a distant memory.
Rueben Randle gets early targets while Victor Cruz cools off in fantasy
The Giants have some options in the passing game. We break down the fantasy implications.

Teammate Victor Cruz had a quiet afternoon with just three catches for 22 yards on his six targets. He was coming into this week with some momentum, clearing the 100-yard plateau in back-to-back weeks.
The Giants also had Odell Beckham Jr. make his debut, so those five targets may have hurt Cruz more than anything. Considering how Beckham missed basically two months of practice and started so quickly, things don’t look great for Cruz.
Fantasy impact: Randle is trending up while Cruz is on his way down. If Cruz owners can sell him for 60-70 cents on the dollar, it makes a lot of sense right now.
