5. New York Giants

Golden Tate, Sterling Shepard, Corey Coleman, Evan Engram

Sure New York Giants aren’t the first team people think of when talking NFC Receivers.  However looking at the group surrounding quarterback Daniel Jones and there are stars there.

Golden Tate has been around but is always a threat.  If Shepard and Coleman can stay healthy, they should add a lot of receptions in 2020.  Evan Engram is one of the top tight ends in the game right now.

Even after 10 years in the NFL, Tate is a deep threat.  His longest reception last season was 64-yards.  He had just 49 receptions but the Giants were also breaking in a rookie quarterback.

Engram caught 44 passes but his longest went for 75-yards in 2019.  He is more than a tight end as he really fills the void when the team is missing on of its top three receivers.

The Giants receivers should give NFC East opponents a tough time this season.  Look for their numbers to be among the tops in the NFC as a group.
