2. New York Giants

The Giants will be an interesting situation to watch, especially with a new coaching staff. They have a new way of looking at things and will want to have some roster turnover. For now, they do not have many wide receivers locked into the roster.

Kadarius Toney should be, but he is banged up and has given them a headache already. Beyond him is Wandale Robinson, the most locked-in option because he was drafted by this front office.

Sterling Shephard is coming off an injury, and Kenny Golladay has reportedly not been guaranteed a roster spot. There is Richie James, who is likely to make the team due to special teams, then there is Darius Slayton. Golladay may become an option, but Slayton is the most likely to get cut outright.

Slayton has upside but has not been on the good side of the coaching staff. If the team cuts him, he could fill a similar role to Equanimeous St. Brown, and he has more NFL production than the Bears’ starting wide receiver.
