Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #12All Players: #41

Cruz had his second straight 1,000-yard season. Some looked at his year as kind of a down season compared to his rookie year but he set career highs in receptions (86) and touchdowns (10), so Cruz had another fine season. Cruz had five 100-yard games and at least two catches in every game. He did have six games with fewer than 50 yards, though, but the Giants passing attack really struggled at times last season, leading to the down games for Cruz. He will be a big part of this passing game for years to come. Cruz is a big-play threat with the ball in his hands. Cruz isn't a huge target but runs routes well for a young player and has plus hands. He can take a short pass and make it a big play in a hurry.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Cruz is a solid low-end No. 1 fantasy receiver. He is just outside that elite group of receivers. His numbers can improve from last season, especially if you consider how bad the Giants threw the ball at times in 2012. Cruz can get around 90 receptions for 1,300 or so yards and double-digit scores.

New York Giants co-owner John Mara believes the team will eventually have a deal in place with restricted free-agent WR Victor Cruz. 'I'm pretty confident that we'll end up reaching a deal with (Cruz),' Mara said. 'This is not that atypical a situation. Player contracts, particularly with star players like Victor, can tend to drag on from time to time. I think we'll get it done.' Cruz has yet to sign his $2.879 million contract tender and reportedly seeks in the neighborhood of $10 million per year. The Giants are reportedly prepared to offer closer to $7 million.
