Fantasy Analysis

Canty and Spencer are low-end IDP performers and should not be used in Week 16 against Baltimore.
(Updated 12/15/2008).

DT Chris Canty, the newly-signed defensive tackle who joined the Giants via the UFA route from the Dallas Cowboys, was paid an enormous amount of money to tackle people with a football in their hands. He has a seven-year contract worth $42 million -- with incentives and bonuses for performance. So it might make sense that he is going to be a starter, except for the fact that he said defensive line coach Mike Waufle, obviously on instructions from new defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan and head coach Tom Coughlin, told him there are plans to use him "in several ways." When asked if he was going to become a pure "three technique" defensive tackle, he shook his head. "Nope, coach Waufle says I'll be doing a lot of things." This might be good news for the incumbent starters, Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield, one of whom might have anticipated a loss of job. But it also smacks of the influence passed on to Sheridan by last year's defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, now head coach in St. Louis, that no defensive lineman has just one particular job description. "You know, we're getting Osi (Umenyiora, the Pro Bowl defensive end) back, and the front seven now looks like the best in the league," Canty said. "I don't really care where I play or what I have to do, this is going to be fun." Canty will almost certainly be a starter inside, with Umenyiora and Justin Tuck the ends and Cofield or Robbins (or another UFA signee, Rocky Bernard) at the tackles. Behind them will be last year's starter at end, Mathias Kiwanuka, unless he is moved back to strongside linebacker, and Jay Alford. The "Spagnuolo Way" might include Tuck playing tackle with Canty on sure-pass situations while Kiwanuka and Umenyiora are at ends. Another UFA signee, weakside linebacker Michael Boley, has a reputation as a pass-rusher so he, too, might find himself sprinting toward the quarterback. "We'll line up and the quarterback will see us all but he won't know who's going to rush and from where it will 32/6/2009
