Description: New York Giants restricted free agent receiver Victor Cruz was reportedly given a new offer from the team which according to a New York Daily News report is for around $7 million a year.
Insight: Cruz wants to be paid like a No. 1 receiver and looking at what Dwayne Bowe received in the offseason, Cruz hasn't gotten that level of offer. Although we expect that the two sides will eventually work out an agreement it might take Cruz sitting for a while. Don't let that change your value of Cruz, who has caught 168 balls for 2,628 yards and 19 TDs over the past two seasons.

Description: Giants receiver Victor Cruz set a new career high with his 10th touchdown of the season Sunday against the Eagles.
Insight: Cruz had four catches for 52 yards Sunday, giving him 1,092 yards on 87 catches for the year. It was a decline from 2011 when Cruz had 1,536 yards and averaged 18.7 yards per catch. He clearly missed having a healthy Hakeem Nicks on the other side of the field all season.

Description: Giants receiver Victor Cruz had his second straight 100-yard game (121) on eight receptions and found the end zone once Sunday against the Saints.
Insight: Cruz averaged 38 yards per game from Week 8-12 but he's returned to prominence over the last two games. The salsa specialist crossed the 1,000-yard barrier Sunday for the second straight season. While Cruz is averaging 19 fewer yards per game, 5.5 fewer yards per catch and 3.6 fewer yards after catch, he's already matched last season's nine touchdowns with three games remaining.

Description: Giants receiver Victor Cruz (calf) fully participated in Thursday's practice after being limited Wednesday.
Insight: Cruz' calf injury was never expected to keep him out of Sunday's game. Start him and expect a bounce-back week for the Giants big-play receiver.

Description: New York wideout Victor Cruz enjoyed another huge fantasy day Sunday against Washington. He led the way for the Giants with seven catches for 131 yards and a touchdown.
Insight: Cruz was actually having a rather quiet game before rumbling into the end zone for a 77-yard score late in the fourth quarter. He's now tied with Green Bay's James Jones for the league-lead in touchdown receptions with seven.

Description: Giants receiver Victor Cruz caught five passes for 50 yards Sunday against the Browns. Fortunately for fantasy owners, three of those catches were for touchdowns.
Insight: Eli Manning found Cruz for touchdowns of 3, 7 and 28 yards. He was the top red zone target with Hakeem Nicks out and Martellus Bennett dealing with a leg injury.

Description: After a quiet performance in Carolina in Week 3, New York receiver Victor Cruz piled up nine catches for 109 yards and a touchdown Sunday night against Philadelphia.
Insight: Cruz never really got going in Week 3 but Sunday Eli Manning targeted the Pro-Bowl wideout 13 times and Cruz was able to make the most of those opportunities. Cruz is fifth in the NFL in receiving yards (388) after his first four games.

Description: Giants receiver Victor Cruz turned in a performance reminiscent of last season Sunday, catching 11 balls for 179 yards and a touchdown to help New York beat Tampa Bay.
Insight: Cruz dropped several passes and didn't make much of an impact in the opener last week but Sunday was a different story. He was already having an excellent game with 10 catches for 99 yards but an 80-yard TD in the fourth quarter elevated it to another level.

Description: Giants receiver Victor Cruz had an off night Wednesday in the season opener, dropping three passes.
Insight: Cruz caught six balls for 58 yards but his night would have been a lot better if he caught those three passes. Hopefully this doesn't become a habit.
