NFL Lockout's Impact On The New York Giants

New York Giants: The Giants roster and coaching staff looks like it will remain intact once the new CBA is reached. They have a couple questions on the offensive line, which they can address in the draft, but other than that they're loaded with veterans. The Giants may look to get younger on defense, but that's not a pressing need for 2011. Tom Coughlin's discipline might be exactly what the Giants need to get ready for the season on short notice.

2011 Fantasy Football Scouting Report: Eli Manning, QB, New York Giants

2010 Stats	4002 yds.	31 TDs	25 INTs
2011 Projected	3985 yds.	26 TDs	25 INTs

Manning should get his full compliment of wide receivers back in 2011. Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks was on his way to a breakout year before getting hurt last year. Manning and the Giants struggled after Nicks went down. Mario Manningham and Steve Smith are also very good receivers and the running back duo of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw should take some of the pressure off Manning. The Giants will need to improve its offensive line play if they want to keep Manning upright this season.
