Giants Receivers Shine in Plaxico's Absence

With star receiver Plaxico Burress out for the second consecutive week, New York's receivers stepped up once again. Long-time Giant Amani Toomer recorded 5 receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown, and other wide-outs posted respectable numbers against a solid Redskins secondary (Domenik Hixon: 5 receptions, 71 yards, Kevin Boss: 3 receptions, 45 yards). Impact: Considering that Burress will likely be arrested on gun charges, and miss the rest of the season, everyone's value increases. Hixon and Toomer are available in several leagues and will be great flex-plays heading into the fantasy football playoffs.
