Fantasy Sleeper of the Week: Travis Beckum

by Mike Farley on Dec 24, 2011 11:00 AM EST in New York Giants News

If you are in your fantasy championship game, chances are you have some decent tight ends and do not need to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the likes of Travis Beckum or Bear Pascoe. But many of you that grabbed Jake Ballard off the waiver wire in mid-season and he is iffy for Saturday. Beckum and Pascoe have shown flashes of good things, but none was bigger than Beckum's long touchdown reception from Eli Manning in the Green Bay game three weeks ago. And for that reason alone, we're naming Beckum our sleeper this week should you need a last-minute fill-in at tight end. If you're reading this and taking it seriously, let me be the first to congratulate you for landing in your title game, and best of luck this weekend!

I am in the BBV League #2 Championship game and ironically, there isnt a single Giant player between the 2 teams. maybe I should grab Beckum just to have on my bench so the winner will have at least 1 Giant

Nobody wins the Superblow in November.
Talk is Cheap! Play the Game!
You can't spell Elite without ELI.

i agree Beckum can have a good game

the Jets have been burned by TEs all year (especially Eric Smith) and without Ballard the Giants need someone to work the middle of the field. i wouldn’t expect a 6 catch 100 yard game but i think it’s reasonable for Beckum to have maybe 2 or 3 catches

I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.

I don't even find this funny - not at all.

I think the guy is literally retarded for running the wrong router after 3 years with the team.

We can’t draft players from Wisconsin. Their playbook fits on a big gulp and makes Tebow look like Da Vinci.

Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame

More like Rip Van Winkle Award - Travis Beckum.

Not an NFL caliber player.

You must have been delusional when you wrote this Mike

I am writing this post game but is it any surprise he can up mini small?

He had one good catch, one good play this year. The one pass to him bounced off and was almost an interception.

You’d be better off picking Clayton who is on IR. He is more likely to contribute.

All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TC, TQ, PF, KG, DD and KMac Must Go!
It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.
