Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #13All Players: #42

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 WR Victor Cruz could still hold out of training camp, according to a source with knowledge of these types of situations, despite the fact that Cruz will sign his one-year tender on Friday, June 14. Cruz will be under contract and thus subject to fines of $30,000 per day if he doesn't show. He could have lost $2.289 million if the Giants had retracted the tender offer on Monday, June 17, and replaced it with an offer of $590,000. At that rate for fines, Cruz could afford 76 days of them before he'd reach the $2.289 million for which he's signing his tender. The source said there were no indications that the team was going to rescind the offer, but Cruz didn't want to take the chance.

Jun 12 10:56 am

New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin is starting to get impatient with WR Victor Cruz not being at offseason team activities. 'I've been optimistic since Day 1 but it hasn't gotten me anywhere, has it?' Coughlin said after the first practice of the Giants' three-day minicamp. 'I'll just continue to be (optimistic). But the clock is running. This is something that at least he could've benefited by, if nothing else, this minicamp. But you have to realize that there is no contract at this time. So without a contract he's not going to be here.'

The New York Giants can reduce WR Victor Cruz's restricted free-agent tender from $2.879 million to $660,000 beginning Friday, June 14. There's no indication they'll do so, though.
