Victor Cruz - WR - Giants
Cowboys RB Ryan Williams issued a warning about coming back from a patellar tendon tear.
Williams tore his patellar with the Cardinals in 2011 and was never the same. "Growing up I thought that the worst injury you could have is the ACL," he said. "Nah, when you tear that patellar tendon and your kneecap shifts to your thigh, that's something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy." It's a nugget to file away as we inevitably read glowing reports from the Giants all summer on Victor Cruz's rehab.

Victor Cruz confident he'll be ready for training camp:
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000497431/article/victor-cruz-confident-hell-be-ready-for-training-camp
He'll return once his knee heals, but I'm very doubtful that he'll be the same player we're used to.It's a reminder of the severity of Cruz's knee injury, which has been known to permanently rob athletes of their explosiveness.
Coach Tom Coughlin said the Giants expect Victor Cruz (patellar tear) to open training camp on active/PUP.
There would be no downside to the move. Cruz can be taken off active/PUP at any time during the preseason. Starting him there leaves the Giants with the option of opening the regular season on PUP -- a move that rule him out of the first six weeks. Cruz claims he'll be "somewhere around 100 percent" by late July or early August.

I don't think I'd worry too much about James Jones IF Cruz and Beckham are healthy. If Cruz returns to form and Beckham's hammy is okay, they are the unquestioned top two WRs and Jones and Randle will have to fight it out for that 3rd spot when they go with 3-WR sets. The Jones signing feels like a safeguard in case Cruz isn't the same, quite honestly.The hole Giants WR situation makes me nervous. Seems like too many mouths to feed. I was "OK" with Cruz coming back, but then they go out and sign James Jones. Beckham, Randle, Cruz, Jones... and I don't fully trust Eli Manning. You just never know when he is going to flip the INT switch on. Thanks for the updates on Cruz. I like watching from a far, but I just don't think I am going to invest in any Giants WRs in my draft.
ESPN Giants reporter Dan Graziano confirmed Victor Cruz (calf, knee) is "very much in doubt" to play in Week 1.
Cruz admitted Tuesday that his availability is in question, and at this point we'd bet against him suiting up Week 1 at Dallas. Rueben Randle would handle No. 2 duties behind Odell Beckham, with Preston Parker in the slot. Cruz has no timetable for return. He's an unlikely fantasy contributor in 2015.

I would be flat out shocked if he wasn't a significant contributor in 2015. I think Roto went too far there tooUnlikely fantasy contributor? Because he's in doubt to play week 1?
I saw this guy on Ballers and he looked healthy doing the salsa.
As a late round pick, there's not another WR in the league id rather gamble on if he can get in the game with ODB pulling the tight double coverage.

Hard to hold this guy if this is the case. Unless you are a believer that he can get to 100% in those four weeks.Cutsville?

Victor Cruz (calf) could be out until Week 4? http://tinyurl.com/qe6hb6y
Oh cmon you knew that would happen didn't you?ponchsox said:I see this as a potential headache all season with questionable statuses and nagging injuries from the knee popping up. I'm regretting tying up a roster spot on him.
Coach Tom Coughlin said Friday the Giants are hoping Victor Cruz (calf) will practice ahead of Week 4.
The Giants play the Bills next week, and could use Cruz's presence in the slot after having to cut drop machine Preston Parker. "He's improving," Coughlin said of Cruz. "He'll be running all weekend. We'll see next week if we can get him on the practice field." While we don't have high fantasy hopes for Cruz, he's worth adding in PPR leagues as a potential bye-week sub.

He'll be a WR1BShould this guy be added in all leagues? I mean, he'll likely take a week or two to really get back into gamespeed but after that, is a FLEX with WR2 potential?
What about now, after the setback? Sounds very iffy to return in the next few weeks even...He'll be a WR1BShould this guy be added in all leagues? I mean, he'll likely take a week or two to really get back into gamespeed but after that, is a FLEX with WR2 potential?
Bump Cruz in PPR formats? Droppable in standard?Victor Cruz had a PPR injection in his injured calf.
According to sports doctor David J. Chao, it usually takes about 2-to-6 weeks for the injection to kick in. Obviously that clouds his status for Week 5 and beyond. The Giants brought in Wes Welker for a tryout this week and have hinted at using Shane Vereen as a wide receiver. Both of those measures suggest the G-Men aren't counting on getting Cruz back anytime soon.
He was ready to go twice now and then had two major setbacks. He's getting an MRI tomorrow. I wouldn't be too excited about him and think you could get WR numbers out of better/healthier waiver prospect like Diggs or Lafell, although those guys may be gone in your league..This is the only guy I see available in my 10team redraft league who looks to have WR1 potential. Anyone else buying soon?
