Barden aiming to make impact

Rookie receiver Ramses Barden is aiming to make an impact with the Giants, according to FOX Sports. He said, "I would love to make an impact in the red zone, as well as in the middle of the field. I want to be that complete player, and anything I can do in the red zone is definitely icing on the cake."
Our View: Barden has great size at 6-6, 230 pounds, and will help replace Plaxico Burress in that regard. He is worth targeting for keeper leagues, and is also worth a look as a late-round flier deeper standard leagues.

The Chicago Tribune reports Bears GM Jerry Angelo might be changing

News: The Chicago Tribune reports Bears GM Jerry Angelo might be changing his opinion on the possibility of signing WR Plaxico Burress. "As I said, we'll look at every option," Angelo said. "(Buress') situation is different because there are circumstances. We'll monitor it." The paper reports new Bears QB Jay Cutler has reached out to Burress, and agent Drew Rosenhaus recently said at least two teams are seriously interested in signing the former New York Giant. The Jets are likely one of them. "Are we one of those two teams? No," Angelo said. Burress, released by the Giants on April 3, has a June 15 hearing stemming from felony gun charges. He accidentally shot himself in the thigh in November at a Manhattan nightclub. He could face jail time and if not, at least a league suspension. "He could help any team," Angelo said. "His play, his production speaks for itself. Everybody would love to have him on their team, including the New York Giants. But obviously, they are things that have to happen now for him to play in the league, get on with his life. There are a lot of hurdles to cross before you can really seriously sit here and use that as a viable option." [...]
