Victor Cruz (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

UPDATED at 2PM ET: Cruz's status is in doubt for Week 4. We have changed his status "Add in 12+ Team Leagues" to "Continue Stashing"

BALLER MOVE: Continue Stashing

OWNED IN: 73% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS:  Now that Victor Cruz is medically cleared to play, we should see him suit up this week versus the Buffalo Bills. The big question is what Cruz will be able to do on the field.

Last season Cruz had a devastating knee injury which required a long rehabilitation and its possible he may not be the same player going forward.  However, the New York Giants recently dropped former slot receiver, Preston Parker, which opens the door big and wide for Cruz to hit the ground running.  If healthy, Cruz will play more than Parker's 60% of snaps, and will likely see 6-8 targets a week if not more as he gets acclimated.

This week the Giants face a Bills defense that has given up the 3rd most fantasy points to opposing WRs which presents a great opportunity for Cruz.  If you are in a standard league you could afford to wait and see how Cruz does in week 4, but in PPR leagues he's a must own in any league size.
