Wide Receiver

  • Golden Tate
  • Sterling Shepard
  • Cody Latimer
  • Bennie Fowler
  • Darius Slayton
  • TJ Jones

The already thin receiving corps in New York was dealt a major blow with the aforementioned trade of OBJ. The Giants responded by bringing in solid veteran Golden Tate to lead the young group. Shepherd is a solid young slot receiver when healthy. Latimer, Jones, and Fowler add some better size to an overall undersized group. Slayton is a fifth-round pick with excellent speed to stretch the field vertically. None of these guys look like a legitimate WR1 so it will likely be a group effort all season.
