Michael Strahan Retire? Fantasy Impact
Michael Strahan of the Super Bowl champion New York Giants has indicated that he’s thinking about retiring. In fact, he says that he’s close to announcing his intentions. Some sources close to the team expect Strahan to retire to take a broadcasting job.
Even though the 36-year-old Strahan isn’t as dominant as he used to be, he’s still a very good football player. He was a huge key last season for the Giants. His size, strength and ability to rush the passer was vital.
Last season, Strahan skipped training camp but played well during the regular season. He finished the season with nine sacks – the ninth time in his career that he had at least nine sacks.
If Strahan is to retire, the Giants defense would be worth a lot less in fantasy football. As of now, the Giants defense has to be regarded as one of the better defenses due to their ability to rush the quarterback and cause turnovers. Without Strahan, the Giants wouldn’t be nearly as good at getting after the passer.
Keep an eye on what Strahan does if you are considering drafting the Giants defense. He’s due approximately $4 million, so there’s definitely a chance that he’ll play another year.
