Victor Cruz, WR, New York Giants

FanDuel Price: $5,700

It's really hard to overstate how good the Giants' matchup is this week. We already touched on it when talking about Vereen, but it really is just about ideal.

The Saints were the worst defense in the league last year, and the worst passing defense since 2000, per our metrics. And they may even be worse than that as our metrics only date to 2000. They are missing their top cornerback, leaving them with two 2016 undrafted free agents and a 2015 third-round pick with one game of NFL experience as their starters this week.

The Saints also have a dangerous offense, meaning this game will likely be a shootout, and it has a huge 52.5-point over/under. Everyone -- on both sides -- is worth looking into.

Odell Beckham could be the highest-owned wideout this week, so Victor Cruz could be a sneaky way to get exposure to this popular contest. Cruz played 89% of the Giants' snaps in Week 1, catching 4 passes for 34 yards and a touchdown. He appears fully healthy, and Cruz could be able to do even more damage with an outstanding matchup this week.
