NYG WR Rueben Randle - Week 6, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 – Rueben Randle vs. Philadelphia

Rueben Randle had a touchdown last week against the Falcons, but only wound up with 33 yards on four receptions. He was targeted ten times, but still seems to be on a different page than quarterback Eli Manning. The situation does look to be improving however, and Randle (along with tight end Larry Donnell) seems to be one of the primary places Eli looks in the red zone.

Randle has a nice matchup against the Eagles this week, who allow more passing yards per game than 28 teams so far this season. He’s still an inconsistent option that fantasy owners should be wary of relying on, but as a WR3/Flex play, he has some upside this week with the matchup.

NYG WR Rueben Randle - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 – Rueben Randle vs. Atlanta

Rueben Randle looked to be a little more on the same page as quarterback Eli Manning last week as the Giants routed Washington and Randle tied for the team lead with 10 targets. He ended up with eight receptions and 89 yards, a nice sign for his future in New York, and on fantasy rosters.

This week, he faces an Atlanta pass defense that has given up the second most passing yards in the league and he should find success on the outside. He’s been inconsistent, so we’re not recommending him higher than WR3 status, but he’s not a bad filler if you need it, and his future stock looks better now than it did a couple weeks ago.

NYG WR Rueben Randle - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 – Rueben Randle vs. Washington
Rueben Randle is still not on the same page as Eli Manning, though he gets some red zone looks due to his size. He ended up with five catches against the Texans last week, but he only managed 27 yards, and right now he’s a bench option at best. Against Washington this week, he has a little upside as they were just torched by the Eagles in Week 3 and they have questions in the secondary, but overall Randle is far too risky to have in your lineup.

NYG WR Rueben Randle - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 – Rueben Randle vs. Houston
Rueben Randle still looks not to be on the same page as quarterback Eli Manning, though he did manage to catch a touchdown pass in this past week’s loss to the Cardinals. Still, miscues were the rule of the day, and he wound up with four catches and only 39 total yards. Randle needs to step up and show some consistency in the new offense before we recommend starting him, especially against such a formidable defense, as he’ll face against the Texans this coming week. He’ll likely draw Jonathan Joseph, which puts him outside fantasy starter material this week, and he should probably stay on your bench.

NYG WR Rueben Randle - Week 2, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 – Rueben Randle vs. Arizona

Rueben Randle looked out of synch with quarterback Eli Manning in Week 1 against the Lions, and he wound up with only one yard on two catches. For owners expecting a breakout season, it seems as though Randle and the Giants passing game still has some work to do figuring out the new offensive system.

Randle is worth keeping on a roster and he maintains his upside as someone to breakout this season, but his Week 1 outing and the Giants generally horrific look on offense is definitely concerning. Randle should be kept on the bench against Arizona’s tough defense this week, at least until we see some improvement from the Giants.

NYG WR Rueben Randle - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 – Rueben Randle vs. Detroit
Rueben Randle gets to start the season as the bonafide WR2 in a Giants offense that looks to improve in every category under new coordinator Ben McAdoo. Randle is an explosive talent who should benefit from an increase in targets and should be able to make more yards after the catch in the new West Coast system the Giants will employ in 2014.

The Giants are a bit of an unknown however, so we’ll take a wait-and-see approach with the second year receiver, who is teeming with upside, but is still largely unproven. We have him ranked 38th on our list this week against a vulnerable Lions secondary, making him a low-end WR3 or flex option in most leagues. He has upside, but if you can wait it out until we know more about the Giants offense, then you’ll have a safer Week 1.

NYG WR Rueben Randle - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Rueben Randle finished last season with 41 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns in his second year out of LSU. The 2012 second round pick was working behind Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, and still managed to distinguish himself during a season where very little went right in New York. With Nicks now a Colt, the Giants will be counting on Randle to be an outside threat and to go from valuable reserve, to legit starting NFL receiver.

Fantasy Upside
The Giants brought in new Offensive Coordinator and former Packers QB Coach Ben McAdoo to install a West Coast offense in New York after longtime coordinator Kevin Gilbride retired. The new scheme should provide the Giants’ playmaking receivers a chance to put up good numbers after the catch, and should result in more receptions for all the Giants pass catchers. Randle is 6’2 and plays bigger than the other receivers on the Giants roster and will be asked to step up immediately as the key outside threat in New York. In fantasy football, opportunity is half the battle, and Randle will have that in 2014.

Fantasy Downside
Randle has failed to distinguish himself as a consistent target during his first two years in the league, instead coming off as streaky. Part of that may be inexperienced route running, while a lot of it is likely related to the inconsistency of Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who’s accuracy and decision making was questionable at best a year ago. Even with the new system, Eli will still be slinging the ball, causing concern for Giants receivers. Randle is unproven, and the Giants have a new scheme after a horrendous offensive year in 2013. These factors lead to fantasy risk when drafting Randle.

Bottom Line
Randle has very good upside in this offense as a valuable later round option at receiver for fantasy owners. Additionally, as a starting receiver in this offense, his floor is probably higher than a lot of players with similar upside. Randle should see a lot of balls thrown his way, and if he can turn the flashes he showed last season into consistent performances, he could be a steal in the tenth round of drafts as your first bench receiver.
