Wayne had been dealing with an elbow injury, which was thought to potentially hold him out for two games. However, after practicing Friday and Saturday, Wayne looks to be all systems go after a week of absence.
Fantasy Spin: Wayne's owners missed out big after he was unable to share the wealth that the Colts dug up in last week's shootout with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But he will assume his normal starting spot in the lineup opposite T.Y. Hilton, which will in turn limit the snaps of Hakeem Nicks and Donte Moncrief, who filled in for him last week.
With the Giants ranking 25th in the league in pass defense, Wayne and company have an opportunity to put plenty of yards and points on the board. In a week with six teams on bye, Wayne remains a solid WR3 in PPR leagues.
