3.) Jabrill Peppers

Last week, safety Jabrill Peppers had his best game as a New York Giant, tallying nine solo tackles and two passes defended. He was stellar in every facet, blanketing assignments in coverage and stopping the run at an elite level. It was clear that his confidence and motivation against Tampa fueled a fantastic performance.

The problem with Peppers, he hasn’t been able to replicate great performances on a weekly basis, disappearing and then reappearing at any given moment. This is a good chance for him to establish some consistency and dominate against Washington — an offense that will allow far more opportunities to take advantage of.
