I need a RB/WR/TE to start with Manningham out this week in a 12 team PPR league.
Of the three listed, who would you go with? I like Brandon Jacobs, but i have a feeling NY will fall behind early and start throwing. Cruz is the replacement for Manningham, but will deal with Asante Samuel and Nmamdi Asomougha.
I'd definitely go with Jacobs here. He's nearly split carries with Bradshaw this year and is still the man at the goal line. I'd feel pretty confident any given week that he'll put one in. He certainly won't put up 20 points, or 15 for that matter, but he's a good bed to provide solid value. Cruz is too much of an unknown to rely upon.
I like Jacobs. He is on a platoon, but the Giants dont have any receivers anymore. Plus, they like to run. Jacobs is a great add, I'm really surprised he is still available. Jump on that right away!
