Eli Manning had a very good outing in Week 4 of the 2009 fantasy football season. However, an Eli Manning injury in the fourth quarter has his fantasy owners worried. When dropping back to pass, Manning apparently hurt his heel – without being touched.
The fact that it was a non-contact injury could be bad news. Sometimes when tendons or ligaments pop, it happens when no one else is around.
The good news for Manning, the New York Giants and the fantasy football world is the fact that Manning was able to walk around after the game. However, be sure to keep …read more

Plaxico Burress, New York Giants

With fantasy football 2008 right around the corner, let’s take a look at the most overrated fantasy football quarterbacks for the upcoming fantasy football season. These are fantasy quarterbacks who are being picked higher than their current values should merit.
Derek Anderson – While he did very well last season, Derek Anderson has an relatively inexperience receiving corps and a high profile backup.
Carson Palmer – Even though he is very talented, Carson Palmer is on a team that is heading downward and has a sometimes loony lead WR.
Marc Bulger – With Issac Bruce gone and Torry Holt aging, Marc Bulger …read more

The New Orleans Saints got another weapon for their offense. On Monday, the Saints acquired Shockey from the New York Giants for draft picks. Shockey will step in and become the Saints’ new starting tight end.
For the Giants, they had to make this trade because the team’s relationship with Shockey appeared to be broken. After the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl last season without Shockey, rumors spread that Shockey was unhappy and that New York would look to trade him. In return for Shockey, the Giants are getting a second rounder and a …read more

Jeremy Shockey broke his left leg last year during the regular season. As you might have heard, the New York Giants wound up winning the Super Bowl without Shockey’s services.
At first, many expected Shockey to be traded. The Giants showed they could win without him and Shockey’s outlandish personality seemed like a bad fit. However, in recent weeks, it appears more and more likely that Shockey will remain with the Giants.
According to reports, Shockey’s rehab is going well. He’s working out in Florida and chances are that he’ll be ready to go by the …read more

Some experts around the Giants have suggested that Shockey’s injury allowed Eli Manning to grow into more of a leadership role with the Giants. Bringing Shockey back into the fold would mess with their proven Super Bowl …read more

The Super Bowl MVP played fantastic in the playoffs and has earned every ounce of praise that he has gotten. Without Eli Manning, the New York Giants wouldn’t have made it anywhere close to where they made it. That said, what can we expect out of Manning in the 2008 fantasy football season?
Don’t expect too much. Sure, he was great in the playoffs, but his regular season stats have actually been getting worse over the years. He had 23 touchdowns and 3,336 yards to go with 20 interceptions during the regular season. In fantasy football, that’s not very good production. …read more

QB Eli Manning, New York Giants
Six weeks ago, there were questions whether Eli Manning was a good enough quarterback to be considered the New York Giants’ quarterback of the future.

As has been the case for much of the season, Plaxico Burress was slowed in practice this week by injury. In addition to his chronic ankle injury that has plagued him all year, he also had some pain in his knee.
Should it be time to panic if you have Burress on your Super Bowl fantasy football team?
Not really. Burress hasn’t had a full week of practice all season. The good news is he has had a very successful campaign. Perhaps his best game of the season was against the Green Bay Packers, the game the New York Giants won …read more
