The best-laid plans of the Giants never materialized.

Well, not exactly never, but not nearly enough. Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz — a dream wide receiver duo if ever there was one — made it onto the field together for just six quarters. They were out there for the entire 30-20 victory over the Falcons in Week 5 last season and the entire first half the following week in Philadelphia before Cruz went down with a ruptured patellar tendon.

The best-laid plans this season, again, was for a Beckham-Cruz pairing, but Cruz could not make it back from a calf injury, making his 2015 season a complete washout.
