Dwayne Harris inactive for Week 17
Dwayne Harris (shoulder) will miss the Giants' Week 17 match up against the Eagles who come in ranked 31st vs. WR's in DvP rankings. Harris being out confirms Odell Beckham and Rueben Randle as Eli Manning's top receiving options with Will Tye as the TE safety outlet.
Odell Beckham suspended one game for actions against Carolina
The NFL suspended Beckham one game for "multiple violations of safety-related playing rules." He made somewhat of a fool of himself after dropping an easy first quarter touchdown, as he repeatedly went toe-to-toe with Josh Norman away from plays and there were several opportunities for the referees to toss him from the game, although that didn't happen. With Beckham likely to miss Sunday's game (he can still appeal), Rueben Randle and Dwyane Harris both get bumps in value due to the high number of looks that head in Beckham's direction each week. Randle is an excellent punt play this coming week assuming Beckham sits, as he'll have a much higher floor/ceiling than we're used to seeing with him. Will Tye's value also spikes without Beckham in the lineup.
Rueben Randle will play on Sunday
Despite dealing with a hamstring injury, Rueben Randle will play Sunday against Tampa. He's not really a DFS option unless the Giants passing game is in a top tier match-up, which this is not given that the Giants won't need to roll out a high-volume passing attack in a game that should stay competitive throughout. You can do worse than Randle if you are throwing darts at potential punt plays at WR, but he's not going to be someone you want much exposure to.
Rueben Randle to practice
The Giants WR is set to practice today - a good sign as the Giants are about to face off against one of the worst pass defenses in the league in the Buccaneers this weekend. Keep an eye on how he progresses as he would make for a good GPP play if he suits up Sunday.
