Martin and Engram

[CreepCreep2014]

So I am seeing a lot of love being tossed out to Martin vs AZ and Engram vs Den. What am I missing?? AZ is not that bad vs the run, and I cannot see Engram tearing up Denver, he is literally the only who can pose a threat and I am sure Talib will be on him.

I am seeing people go Martin over McKinnon and Engram over ASJ...IMO, I think McKinnon/ASJ are better plays this week...am I way off??

I have Martin firmly ahead of McKinnon.

TE are a crap shoot, but yes, I'd start ASJ over Engram.

I think the Engram love comes from the fact that he is the only player on the Giants that has caught a ball from Eli all season (outside of the RBs) that will suit up on Sunday. I think people are expecting the game to be out of hand by halftime and Engram will rack up the targets, especially in junk time.

Really, how come. I see McKinnon getting a ton of work if Minn has to play catch-up. IDK....

see murray has a huge contract and started out as the lead back for minn

i wanna see that it wasnt gameflow that mckinnon got the work, that they dont try and give murray a change again..........we all assume its mckinnon's backfielf, plus hes fragile as F'

doug martin u just play, period, hes gonna start gettin 3rd down work too...........

engram got a ton of targets regardless, now hes probably their lead receiver,just my opinion....

Because of Lat Murray. And because we've seen McKinnon suck for a while now.

Talib won't be on Ingram, Denver doesn't do shadow coverage, and the Giants will likely keep him inside the numbers, which is the only vulnerable place in the Denver D, short/intermediate routes inside the numbers..perfect for a TE. So that, plus he's likely to be the only reliable option, other than Vereen, on the entire team, which should equate to volume, at least in targets, just have to hope it yields catches and yards.
As for Martin, like others have said, clear lead back on a decent offensive team, you play him, regardless of matchup

I'm an ASJ fan, appears he's finally getting that 10 cent head out of his body's way

But, gotta go TE vs Denver, as treff mentioned, that's what they give the offense, eli will take it.
Couple that with engram literally being last man standing, should be more targets than ASJ.
This season for TE, i want the targets, not the outside shot he gets one of the jets 2 tds today

Denver is 26th in fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Jason Witten hung a 10-97-1 line on the Broncos as the overall TE1 in Week 2, Charles Clay went 6-39-1 as the TE6 in Week 3, and Jared Cook went 3-46 with a dropped touchdown in Week 4. Don’t be scared off Engram after last week’s zero. He’ll be Eli Manning’s most trusted target on Sunday

like someone said lots of garbage time stats
