The New York Giants should work to increase Darius Slayton’s targets

The New York Giants are not a playoff team in 2019, despite their questionable trade with the New York Jets for Leonard Williams. However, in the NFL, turnarounds can happen within a year, so the focus should be on building a contender in 2020.

Rookie quarterback Daniel Jones took over from Eli Manning earlier than originally planned. He has two good underneath receivers in Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate, as well as stud running back Saquon Barkley.

The team also has rookie fifth-round pick Darius Slayton, who has shown flashes as a potential downfield threat.
