The second-biggest Giants surprise after this 2-0 start?
They are actually using their tight ends.
Most figured the position would be an afterthought in head coach Brian Daboll’s offense. The Giants’ willingness to start rookie fourth-rounder Daniel Bellinger from the jump backed that sentiment up. As did the lack of urgency to make move for a proven weapon, even after the release of veterans Jordan Akins and Ricky Seals-Jones.
But two weeks in, it seems the tight end spot could be more valuable for the offense than initially believed.
Red-zone threats? Quarterback Daniel Jones hasn’t exactly lit up defenses amid the 2-0 start — he’s thrown for only 364 yards and three touchdowns.
