With Beckham suspended, Giants sign receiver Ben Edwards
Since the midway point of the season, Beckham has been the most consistent, big-play WR1 in fantasy football. There was a point during the game when I did get on the headset to the replay official to remind the referee that, ‘You can eject players. They want to be proud of us, and proud of players like me who represent their team.
This morning on FIRST TAKE Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless agreed that Beckham should be suspended for his actions yesterday.

But their defense is a little shaky.
“The one incident where everything went downhill was when he got bodyslammed [on the fifth play]”, Wing said.

Finishing 16-0, they all agree, would be nice, but can the Panthers stay up there through the night of February 7?
The Giants will struggle to hit the home run without Beckham, turning this into a battle of field position and capitalizing in the red zone. We had an opportunity to close a team out and we didn’t do it. Why? Now infuse that with a child’s game that you grew up playing. See where I am going there?
“He was 15 yards down the field and went straight for my head”.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin noted that his receiver was not the only player at fault for the rough and sometimes dirty play in the game.

“I knew it was possible that I could be activated when I started getting more reps in practice this week”, said Edwards, who expects to play as a slot receiver. I’m very humble. We nearly did lose the game, but I think you saw the character of our team at the end of the game, the true character of what we can do. “Odell is just one piece of the puzzle, and we’ve got other guys that can play, too”.
