Having another reliable receiver to throw to is what Eli Manning desperately needed, as he’s only averaging 131 yards in the Giants’ past two games. As a result, the Giants offense has only scored a combined 20 points over the last two games.
With Shepard back on the field, the Giants’ passing attack should be able to make plays down the field for the first time since Week 5 when Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall were lost for the season with devastating ankle injuries.
You have to wonder though… if the Giants offense comes to life and they start winning games over the final nine games of the season, will it change their tone about offering Beckham a huge contract this offseason?
