Ben McAdoo feels like he's still on pace with the Giants offense despite the fact that his passing game hasn't gotten very far off the ground.

On Saturday against the Steelers, Eli Manning dropped back three times but did not complete a pass. He was sacked once. The week before against Buffalo, the first-team offense did not complete a pass of more than 10 yards. Victor Cruz hasn't caught a pass.

That was fine for McAdoo, who went through a debriefing with his quarterback and came away encouraged. He isn't panicking just yet.

"We talked about seeing some things for the first time and how we need to get on the same page moving forward," McAdoo said.

Fantasy Impact: 

AcAdoo added it's more timing issues, and that everyone's on the same page. He also said the challenge is seeing looks for the first time and reacting. McAdoo liked the reps on Saturday if only because it forced his team to adjust on the fly. Part of the evaluation process still rests on how his players handle these situations.

Through two preseason games, Giants TE Adrien Robinson has one catch for nine yards and two total targets. He was listed last in the team's first "unofficial" tight end depth chart released a few weeks ago and did not appear in the first half of Sunday's preseason game against the Steelers. Most of those reps went to Larry Donnell.

"We got guys that are hurt and we still got three preseason games left," he said. "So whenever I go out there I'm just going to try and make a play."

Robinson said he wasn't upset when he saw the depth chart and understood it for what it was: A motivational technique by the coaching staff to bring him along this preseason. After drafting him in the fourth round of the 2012 draft as a project pick, the team had hoped this would be his breakout season.

Fantasy Impact: 

The good news for Robinson is no one is really standing out at the position. Beat writers say Donnell has been impressive in camp but it hasn't translated to the field. Eli Manning has always loved to target his TEs, especially in the red zone.

Giants QB Eli Manning was complemented by a 1-2 punch of a running game made up of rookie Andre Williams and free-agent addition Rashad Jennings, who took much of the pressure off the passing attack [on the team's scoring drive].

The focus on a ground game is part of the new wrinkles being introduced by new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo.

"I thought there were some improvements. It was a good start," Manning said.

Fantasy Impact: 

Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth raved over Williams on that drive, and he was impressive. However, the broadcast team also said it was against Bills second-teamers. Collinsworth feels that Williams will be a lot more than just a backup to Jennings this season. Williams has been working in goal line situations in camp, but perhaps could be poised for a Brandon Jacobs kind of role, which could put a dent in Jennings potential.

QB Eli Manning is starting to get the hang of the New York Giants newly installed up-tempo offense.

It helped that the 11th-year quarterback got a chance to go in for a third series in the Giants' 17-13 win over the Buffalo Bills in the preseason-opening Hall of Fame Game on Sunday night.

After Manning ended the Giants' second series by losing a fumble on a sack, he bounced back by methodically engineering a 12-play, 80-yard drive capped by rookie Andre Williams' 3-yard touchdown run.

"Yeah, it was big for our offense to get something going, get a few first downs, get in a good rhythm," Manning said. "I'm glad we had that one last opportunity."

Fantasy Impact: 

According to the broadcast, that drive was mostly against Bills second-teamers. But after a slow start, Manning and the offense needed something to build on. Manning's stock has fallen and he's ranked 21st on our list, so he's not getting drafted in a lot of 10-team leagues. He's certainly a candidate to at least be a committee QB option and be a pickup off the waiver wire when the season starts.
