10. New York Giants

31. Eli Manning and the New York Giants offense won Super Bowls in 2007 and 2011 when they had the same thing in common.  Both teams were able to run the football, something they just haven’t been able to do the past few years.  If they can’t find a complimentary pass target to Odell Beckham, then balancing the offense with a top tier running back would be another option. <p> </p> <p>Ezekiel Elliott gives them options none of the other backs on their roster do.  He can stay on the field for any situation.  He is a decisive, tough, instinctive runner with good speed to break big plays.  His hands are plenty reliable as a receiver, making him a threat in the screen game and he’s by far the best blocking back in the class.  The versatility and value he can bring that Giants offense is considerable and something they can’t ignore.  Not if they’re serious about making 2016 a make-or-break season.</p>. RB. Ohio State. Ezekiel Elliott . 10. player
