Should Dynasty Owners Snag Osi?

Recently, Giants DE Osi Umenyiora told reporters that he’s definitely going to be healthy enough to play later this season. There’s only one major problem - now that the Giants have placed him on injured reserve, he’s ineligible to play until the 2009 season. However, this got owners on our Ultimate Strategist Package talking about what to do with the Giants star defensive end. Read more

Keep An Eye On Kiwanuka (and Strahan)

Giants star defensive end Osi Umenyiora went down this past weekend with a season ending MCL tear, leaving a huge gap at defensive end for the New York Giants. With Justin Tuck replacing the retired Michael Strahan, the Giants are now looking to either veteran Renaldo Wynn, or third year man Mathias Kiwanuka to fill in for Osi. But will a familiar number 92 enter the fray also? Read more

Fantasy Impact: Michael Strahan Retires…

Well, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Giants 36 year old DE Michael Strahan has made up his mind and will announce his retirement from the NFL soon, electing to “ride off into the sunset” after a Super Bowl victory.

Now that Strahan appears to be gone - and we say “appears” because it’s not official yet - fourth year 25 year old DE Justin Tuck will take his starting spot opposite Osi Umenyiora. Tuck had a breakout season in 2007, racking up 65 total tackles and 10 sacks as the Giants third DE/DT. Now that Tuck will have a starting role, we expect him to be a top three fantasy defensive lineman. Umenyiora won’t lose any value, due to the fact that Tuck should demand just as much attention as Strahan did.

Also, keep an eye on SLB Mathias Kiwanuka, who will likely double as the Giants’ third DE in 2008, and if your league scores him as a DL, he’ll have bonus value.

Report: Michael Strahan To Retire…

Word is that Giants DE Michael Strahan will hang it up after leading the G-Men to a Super Bowl victory this past season.

Giants LB Antonio Pierce recently told media he believes Strahan will hang it up. If this is the case, expect Justin Tuck to start opposite Osi Umenyiora in 2008, with Mathias Kiwanuka moving back to a third DE role. Really, the Strahan saga will continue until the end of training camp - don’t expect an announcement any time soon.
