Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burress caught the Super Bowl-winning touchdown for the Giants last season but was suspended in November after accidentally shooting himself at a nightclub. The wide receiver faces two felony gun charges and could face more charges. Reese admitted that the Giants struggled to adjust to the loss of Burress, who had 70 catches for 1,025 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.
