With injuries and suspensions to star players comes chances for lesser known players to shine and that’s exactly the position that New York Giants receivers Cody Latimer and Bennie Fowler are in following the news that Golden Tate will likely miss the start of the season with suspension and that Corey Coleman will be out with a torn ACL. It seems Sterling Shepard will be back for week one following a fractured thumb if things go well, but that’s about the only good news the team has gotten at the receiver position recently.
Latimer will likely find himself in the starting lineup, at least at the start of the season, as Coleman was considered the main competition for him and Russell Shepard.
