The NY Giants are in a tough spot and in Week 10 they have the Seattle Seahawks on the road and for fantasy football owners, Odell Beckham, Peyton Hillis, Andre Williams and Rueben Randle are the best start options for Eli Manning, as Rashad Jennings will be out again with an injury and as tough as it is to win in Seattle, this is the last chance for the NYG to turn their season around.

The Giants were beaten badly at home on Monday night football against the Indianapolis Colts and now they have to travel across the country to play one of the best teams in the league. Beckham has been playing well since making his season debut and he is a player to watch for Eli Manning, even if he is matched up with Richard Sherman on Sunday. According to Pro Football Talk, there is a chance that Rashad Jennings will play on Sunday, but it's likely that he will be out for Week 10 and there's a better chance he comes back in Week 11 for the Niners at home.

Losing Jennings has been a big loss for the Giants, as he was expected to stabilize a rushing attack that was one of the worst in the league last season. Andre Williams has been filling in well, but overall he has not been great for the Giants offense and that is why Peyton Hillis has been getting more carries in recent weeks. Hillis was effective against the Colts and he may end up with more carries than Williams come Sunday, especially with Seattle being such a hostile environment. Jennings may return for Week 11, but that may be too late for the Giants to save their season.

Beckham has been the most consistent offensive option for the Giants and with Eli Manning needed receivers to step up with Victor Cruz out, he has a new best friend in Odell. Rueben Randle has been solid but not good enough and Preston Parker has been dropping passes left and right, but Beckham has shown that he has the potential to be a star. So far Beckham has been the real deal and after dealing with a hamstring injury earlier in the season, he looks like he will be the top receiver for the Giants for years to come.

Beckham now has 18 catches for 262 yards this season with three touchdowns and he had a fantastic game in Week 9 against the Colts. Beckham ended up with eight catches for 156 yards and now he looks to be the top target for Eli Manning this week. Beckham has shown big play ability and the skill to make tough catches in traffic and that will only get Eli and the Giants to trust him more.

Jennings was off to a good start for the Giants this season with 396 yards in five games, but once again, a major injury has basically put the Giants season on life support. Losing Jennings and Cruz has been devastating and now Williams will try and keep things going with Hillis. This season Williams has 305 yards on 101 carries and while he has been solid, he has only been averaging 3.0 yards per carry and the team is hoping for a bit more production than that.
