Eagles vs New York: 10 Giants besides Saquon Barkley to watch
Here are five Giants the Philadelphia Eagles will need to gameplan for.
In a divisional matchup, you never know what might happen. The Giants are struggling, but the Philadelphia Eagles should expect their best shot in Week 12.
Daniel Jones, quarterback
Philly’s success rate versus the Giants with Daniel Jones in the lineup has been pretty favorable. They’re above .500 (2-1). One might venture to state that even though he was tackled by the turf monster in Week 7, the Birds aren’t the only team walking into this one with a dual-threat quarterback that can wreck things for the other team.
Kadarius Toney, wide receiver
Rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney is the wideout the Giants ended up with when they couldn’t get the one they wanted (DeVonta Smith). Don’t ignore Toney’s ability to make plays though.
He has yet to make a consistent impact or reach the end zone, but let’s hope his breakout game doesn’t come in Week 12.
Evan Engram, tight end
Evan Engram has never reached the end zone in four games versus the Eagles. He’s hauled in 21 receptions for 193 yards, but even though those numbers aren’t impressive, Philadelphia’s defense will need to account for him at all times.
Kenny Golladay, wide receiver
During the most recent offseason, Kenny Golladay was mentioned as a realistic option for the Eagles. Now, they have to deal with him twice annually. It should be interesting to see what the game plan is for stopping him in Week 12.
Matt Peart, left tackle
It’s Matt Peart’s job to protect Daniel Jones’ blindside. If the Eagles hope to harass Jones, this may be the area where they attack.
