How Giants could change because of depleted WR corps

Expect the Giants to look quite different on offense Sunday than they did in the season-opening loss to the Cowboys.

Last week, the Giants used 11-personnel formations (one running back and one tight end) nearly 75 percent of the snaps on offense. That will change, with the receiver corps depleted almost beyond recognition. Evan Engram was on the field for 53 of the 69 offensive plays in the first game and Rhett Ellison got just 22 snaps. Those snap-counts will rise for the Giants’ tight ends, with more 12-personnel (one running back, two tight ends).

“We’ll let what we’re going to do reveal itself,’’ coach Pat Shurmur said.
