The New York Giants have one of the worst offenses in the NFL, thanks to a lack of wide receiver talent and an injury to star running back Saquon Barkley in week two against the Chicago Bears.
Barkley’s torn ACL has kept him out of the entire 2020 campaign, but he’s expected to make a full recovery and return in 2021. It could be a while before he shakes off the rust and feels confident on his surgically repaired ligament, but just his presence on the offense demands attention from opposing defenses. That is a primary reason why Daniel Jones had a better season in 2019, aside from the difference in playcalling.
