2.) Secondary must hold up with Eagles gaining back receivers

As stated above, the Eagles are preparing to inject Alshon Jeffery back into their offense, and they are also gaining Miles Sanders back. With Wentz throwing for 359 yards with a band of misfit toys as his pass catchers, getting back these viable threats will be tough for the Giants.

Currently, the Giants’ defense ranked 27th in yards allowed per game, indicating they have a serious problem at one specific position and that one in CB2.

Last week, Isaac Yiadom allowed a perfect passer rating to Washington quarterbacks— the Giants cannot continue to go down this path. It is expected that Yiadom will continue serving as the CB2, but it was a position they committed to youth this season. The loss of DeAndre Baker significantly hurt their defense, and it will be a position the Eagles target routinely in week 10.
