PLAYERS: Eli Manning,  Cam Newton
TEAMS: New York Giants

Eli Manning 2 300x193 Fantasy Football: Week 2 studs and dudsThere were many outstanding performances in Week 2, some were even record-breaking. Some with names that you probably don’t even have on your roster. And then there were those that disappointed the owners who drafted them so soon (and in most cases so high) on draft day. Here is a list of both studs and duds that stood out last week:

Eli Manning-QB-Giants- Against a pretty good defense that had given up only 10 points to Cam Newton and the Panthers a week earlier, Eli and the Giants teed off for quadruple that amount on Sunday at Met Life Stadium.… Ream more

Eli Manning passed for 510 yards Sunday as the New York Giants completed their 41-34 comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He becomes the 13th player to surpass that statistical marvel.

Via GridironFans.com  |  September 17, 2012
There has been a lot of discussion about the Bucs going after Giants quarterback Eli Manning when he took a knee in the waning moments of the Giants win. Bucs coach Greg Schiano was unapologetic about it according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. "I don't know if that's not something that's done in the National Football League," Schiano said.

Giants-Panthers Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  September 18, 2012
The New York Giants got an all-time passing performance from Eli Manning to come out on top last week. With Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers up next, it's possible that the Giants will need another spectacular game from their star quarterback Thursday night. The high-profile matchup of QBs with contrasting styles will be on display when the Giants visit the Panthers in a...

(AP) -- Cam Newton threw for 253 yards and ran for a career-high 71 yards as the Carolina Panthers defeated New Orleans 35-27 on Sunday to hand the Saints their first 0-2 start since 2007. One week after tying a franchise low with 10 yards rushing in a 16-10 loss to Tampa Bay, the Panthers rediscovered their running game against a porous Saints defense. The Panthers...

New York Giants: Victor Cruz Redeems Himself After Opening Night Drops

Via Football Nation  |  September 17, 2012
Hero of The GameThe way the New York Giants opened up against the Tampa Bay Bucs, the last thing you would've guessed was Eli Manning having a record setting performance. I tend to think the hero of the game has a direct impact that effects the final score, therefore I had to consider a few Giants other than Manning. Though Manning played well down the stretch, Manning was unquestionably...

Thursday Night Panthers vs. Giants Pick Against the Spread

Via The Pass Rush  |  September 18, 2012
We escaped Monday Night with a win thanks to our Monday Night teaser special with the Broncos (+10) & Over 44. My initial gut feeling was to be all over the Falcons (-3), but there was lots of chatter of a Peyton Manning outright win, so I figured, there’s no way Peyton will lose by double digits on Monday Night, right? Well, he almost did, but we got the cover with our teaser...

Via Pro Football Zone  |  September 16, 2012
During the final play of today’s Giants-Buccaneeers game, quarterback Eli Manning kneeled the ball to secure a Giants win.  But it looks like Bucs head coach Greg Schiano told his team to keep fighting and to try to get the ball back. Once Manning snapped the ball, the Bucs defensive front rushed through the line and knocked him down. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin was furious...

Outrage over Greg Schiano, Buccaneers’ actions on kneel down is ridiculous

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  September 18, 2012
The Giants and others in the media are complaining about the Buccaneers’ behavior on the last play of Sunday’s game, and I’m not really sure why. The Bucs were down 41-34 and had just given the ball to the Giants after an interception by Josh Freeman. Sure they were upset about blowing a 27-13 lead and then turning the ball over in the final minute, but the game wasn’t...
