NY Giants report card: Grades for every player on the active roster

Tight ends

Evan Engram

It’s been a series of lofty highs and pitiful lows for Engram through the first 10 weeks. For much of the first half, it seemed as though Garrett had little clue how to maximize Engram’s athletic gifts and explosiveness. Engram also dropped a critical 3rd down pass against the Eagles that cost the Giants a win. However, Engram is averaging nearly 10.3 yards per reception over the past four weeks and seems to be playing a more vital role in the passing game. If the Giants are going to play spoiler down the stretch, that needs to continue. Grade: C

Kaden Smith

An argument can be made that Smith should have a larger role in the passing game. He’s only been targeted 15 times this season, but he’s caught 12 of those passes for 75 yards and Jones has an 87.3 passer rating when targeting him. But, Smith has been disappointing as a blocker. Grade: C

Levine Toilolo

The Giants signed Toilolo to serve as the primary blocking tight end and to give the running game a boost. However, Toilolo has disappointed. Pro Football Focus gives Toilolo a 54.1 run-blocking grade, and he’s appreciably worse in pass-protection, with a 36 mark. Grade F
