One of the feel-good stories of the 2016 NFL season has been Victor Cruz.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Victor Cruz an easy call vs. Eagles
It’s great seeing Victor Cruz back on the field, but you still don’t want to see him on your fantasy team heading into the championship round.

After injuries derailed his 2014 and 2015 seasons, Cruz made his long-awaited return to the New York Giants this year. Though he has not gotten to do his salsa dance as much, Cruz has been a respectable fantasy receiver this year.
In 13 games, Cruz has caught 29 passes for 495 yards and one score. He has faded down the stretch as rookie Sterling Shepard is becoming a bigger part of the offense. Cruz now gets to face a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has been getting burned by seemingly everyone recently.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Cruz as the 92nd-best receiver in Week 16. He faces an Eagles defense that is allowing the third-most fantasy points to receivers this season.
Even with the good matchup, keep Cruz on the bench this week. He really is not even worth rostering at this point.
