Lawrence Cager
WR -
Week 18 Outlook
Availability
The Giants are expected to place TE Lawrence Cager on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
Giants coach Brian Daboll said the team worked out tight ends on Monday because of the injury to Cager.
The Giants have waived TE Lawrence Cager.
Fantasy Impact
Cager being waived is somewhat surprising considering he was seeing some first team reps in camp. He should draw interest as a depth TE on the waiver wire.
Lawrence Cager left practice early on Monday and was limping on the sidelines.
Fantasy Impact
Cager dropped his helmet and was on the ground in pain before he jogged to the offensive sideline with a trainer. There should be an update on him when available.
Lawrence Cager caught both of his targets for 17 yards in the Giants' 40-0 Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night.
Fantasy Impact
Cager made the most of his minimal involvement in the Giants passing attack Sunday night, averaging 8.5 yards per reception. The wideout is one of a multitude of pass-catching options for an offense searching for answers ahead of a favorable Week 2 contest against the Arizona Cardinals up next.
Lawrence Cager caught one of his two targets for 20 yards in a 28-20 loss to the Cowboys Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Cager has tallied 49 yards and one touchdown on five receptions in five games this season. The 25-year-old wide receiver will likely be used as a depth piece for the Giants after he was recently signed to the active roster. Fantasy managers should leave Cager on the waiver wire for now.
