The Giants have many problems, especially on offense. Running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver Kenny Golladay are out, and wide receiver Kadarius Toney is questionable. Last week, Toney had a breakout game against the Dallas Cowboys, with ten receptions for 189 yards (most yards ever by a Giants rookie receiver).

The good news is quarterback Daniel Jones is good to go after suffering a concussion against the Cowboys, and wide receiver Sterling Shepard is back after missing the last two weeks due to a hamstring injury.
