The New York Giants have a tough test on Thursday night with a division matchup against the Redskins and for fantasy football owners, Rashad Jennings, Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle and Andre Williams are the best options to start for Eli Manning, as the offense has finally clicked after weeks of being inconsistent and they all could be in line for solid performances in Week 4.
Manning is coming off of his best game of the season and seemingly his best game in quite a while, as he did not throw a pick and completed over 70 percent of his passes on Sunday against the Texans. Manning looked comfortable in the offense and the team finally had a rhythm after losing the first two games of the season to the Lions and the Cardinals. Victor Cruz had his first touchdown in quite some time and it came after a nifty move that got him out of the way of the defenders trying to tackle him and now he could be poised to break out big in the coming weeks.
Rashad Jennings had a massive day and if the Giants continue rushing the ball well, both Jennings and Andre Williams have the chance to put up points. Odell Beckham is coming back soon and while he will not be active on Thursday, his return may help Cruz and Randle get open more down field. Randle is still looking for his breakout game and after the way the Redskins covered Jordan Matthews on Sunday, he could be in line for a good performance as well.
Manning missed on just seven of his 28 passes in the game against the Texans and he comes in with five touchdowns and four interceptions, but he had zero turnovers last week. The Giants are hoping for another strong performance and they are really looking for vintage Eli Manning from when he was completing over 60 percent of his passes and reaching 4000 yards in three straight seasons. The Giants could get to 2-2 with a win here and that would set them up for a long break heading into next week against the Falcons.
Jennings had a fantastic day and he should be a strong start option for teams, as he had 176 yards against the Texans and looks to be the main every down back for the team. Jennings already has two Tds and nearly 300 yards rushing and he should add to that on Thursday. Cruz had a nice day and now he has nearly 200 yards and a touchdown this season, while Randle has 11 catches for 67 yards in three games.
