Victor Cruz

WR Corey Washington makes the Giants

Corey Washington, the Giants leading receiver this preseason, has made the 53-man roster.

The 6-4 receiver out of Division II Newberry College in South Carolina was one of the biggest surprises in training camp. Washington had a string of three straight game-winning touchdown catches in the preseason, which electrified an otherwise dull offense and endeared himself to a coaching staff in search of a playmaker.

Fantasy Impact: 

It remains to be seen what kind of fantasy value Washington will have. He'll still be behind guys like Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham at the very least, but the way he's played in the preseason, coupled with the Giants first team offense struggles, one would think he's at least given a chance in certain packages.

"That is a continuous battle right now to sort that thing out; who is going to be the playmaker? Who are they?" Giants HC Tom Coughlin said of his receiving corps.

He wondered this amid a torrid stretch for undrafted free agent Corey Washington, a 6-4, 214-pound jump-baller out of Division II Newberry College who, incredibly, went four straight preseason contests with a game-winning touchdown.

He led the Giants in receiving this preseason with 10 catches for 155 yards and four touchdowns.

“He has one are area that he has done very well and this is he will go up and get the ball,” Coughlin said. “That is very noticeable.”

It was noticeable, though it didn’t lead to any significant snaps for Washington with the first string.

The Giants are looking for playmakers at the wide receiver position. Fourth-quarter preseason star Corey Washington could get a chance to show what he can do earlier in the game. Veteran Mario Manningham has this one final chance to prove he's healthy and explosive enough on the outside to merit a roster spot. Jerrel Jernigan has been coasting through camp as a guy who assumes he has a roster spot locked up, but the Giants would very much like to see him perform the way he did last December, even for one drive. Lots still to sort out at these positions with a week and a half to go.

Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham are sure things to make the Giants roster at wide receiver.

Jerrel Jernigan, who's been running with the first team in Beckham's place all summer, looks like a strong bet as well, especially since he's Cruz's primary backup at the slot receiver position. Undrafted rookie Corey Washington has caught a touchdown pass in each of the Giants' first four preseason games and has obviously helped his cause.

Preston Parker, who caught 40 passes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011 but was out of football last season, appears to be the primary punt returner right now with Beckham and Trindon Holliday hurt, and that could help him earn a spot as a wide receiver as well. Julian Talley also survived Tuesday's cuts and therefore remains a candidate to be kept.

Fantasy Impact: 

One of the odd men out seems to be Mario Manningham who has struggled at times but has shown flashes lately. The team is apparently going to keep four TEs which could make it tough to keep six WRs.
