The New York Giants had high hopes that their offense, ranked an unacceptable 31st in the NFL a year ago in points scored, would show dramatic improvement this season.
- They spent big money to sign free agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay to be the big-bodied, catch in traffic, red zone threat, No. 1 receiver they had been lacking.
- They used their first-round draft pick on exciting wide receiver Kadarius Toney. The idea was that Toney could use his speed to make plays down the field, and that his electric catch-and-run ability would turn short throws into big plays and make life easier for quarterback Daniel Jones.
