The NY Giants had a rough season in 2013 and now the offense is looking to bounce back with Eli Manning, Odell Beckham, Victor Cruz and Rashad Jennings, as they have a new offensive coordinator and that could make that group one of the best in the NFL and they should be looked at as options in fantasy football leagues in 2014.
Beckham has been slow coming around since he is dealing with a hamstring injury this summer, but he has plenty of potential and gives the Giants a nice playmaker alongside Victor Cruz. According to ESPN.com, Beckham thinks that the Giants could have the best offense in the NFL, as coordinator Ben McAdoo is putting in a new system of the west coast offense that could be suited well to Manning's strengths. The offense has short passes and high completion percentage plays and it also will have some deep balls and the team is planning to run the ball more consistently than last year.
Beckham thinks that he will be ready for the start of the season and that will be massive for Manning and the offense, as they need playmakers with Cruz after Hakeem Nicks signed with the Colts. The Giants ended up 28th in total offense last season and could not run the ball at all and now they have Andre Williams and Rashad Jennings to give Manning a better boost from the backfield and the team also has high expectations for Beckham.
Beckham was electric in college and he put up some great stats at LSU and now he is hoping to do the same in the NFL. The Giants picked him in the first round and he comes in with experience returning kicks and he could also be a contributor there for the Giants. Last season Beckham had 57 catches for 1,117 yards and eight touchdowns and that type of production is exactly what the Giants want and need. Beckham averaged nearly 20 yards per catch and that type of playmaking ability could turn the season for the G-Men.
Last season Manning had a tough year with 3,818 yards and 19 touchdowns with 27 interceptions and chances are he will not be that bad this season. In fact, Eli could be a sleeper option later in drafts, as many will pass him up after the year he had. Manning should bounce back and if Beckham is healthy and the running game consistent, the offense should be much better. Victor Cruz just missed having a 1,000 yard season by just two yards and he made 73 catches and now he is expecting to have another big year for the Giants.
Rashad Jennings gives the team a solid running back and he comes in after leading the Raiders in rushing last year. The Giants need to bounce back and an improved offense is a necessity to do that.
