FANTASY NEWS: Usi out for year, big blow to Giants defense

[JakeT.]

This is a very big injury and Giants fans can give up any hope they had of repeating as champions. Losing Strahan was bad enough, but with Usi out the defense won't apply near the same pressure as they did last year. Move the Giants' defense down many pegs on your rankings.

This affects Tuck in a big way now.. If anyone has IDP's in their league

Very good point. Tuck is going to be double-teamed all the time. Giants were the best in the league along the defensive line last year but are looking to be in the back end this time around.

In a weird twist, maybe this raises Eli's Value? Might have to score a few more points... that is a stretch though

Oh yeah it will raise Eli's value a little but not a big amount. Giants' will be run first and their D is good enough to keep them close in most games, but there will be a few games this year where the defense breaks down and Eli passes more.

I don't think he comes back personally, but it wouldn't surprise me all that much. All in all, the Giants seem to be happy moving Kiawanuka back to DE which he played in college. Strahan wants $8 mil and the Giants wouldn't give him that much this offseason, so we'll see if they bend.

The Giants have begun contract negotiations with Michael Strahan, according to the New York Daily News.
