Eli loses Shockey: The New Orleans Saints have acquired disgruntled New York Giants TE Jeremy Shockey for two draft picks. Saints spokesman Greg Bensel on Monday confirmed the trade. The Giants said they will get second- and fifth-round picks in the 2009 draft. The deal must be approved by the league and is contingent on Shockey passing a physical. (Updated 07/21/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Kevin Boss will now be the starting TE for the Giants, and Eli Manning should be fine without Shockey. Continue to draft Manning as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy QB or as a top backup. Boss played well when Shockey went down with a broken leg at the end of last year, and Manning still has enough playmakers to get by without Shockey. (Updated 07/21/2008).
