3.) Cam Fleming

Quarterback Daniel Jones was pressured 26 times in week one, the most in the NFL. The second-place quarterback was only pressured 14 times, giving you an idea of just how much she was under duress.

Right tackle Cam Fleming played a big part in these numbers, helping to allow three sacks on Jones. In addition, Fleming’s run blocking was atrocious and desperately needs to improve in week two. While the Giants will have an easier task ahead of them in a Bears defensive line composed of just Akiem Hicks and Khalil Mack, those are two talented players who dominate in their own right.

I expect to see Jones audibling to the opposite side of Mack, giving Saquon Barkley more room to work with and holes to run through. All Fleming has to do is hold up in pass protection, which will be a tough task against an elite pass rusher.
