GMEN HQ: Who on the Giants roster scares you the most?

Stripe Hype:

In a typical year, the easy answer is Saquon Barkley but since he’s injured I’ll go with Evan Engram. I know he’s disappointed for a first-round pick but the Bengals really struggle covering tight ends. I think Engram has a chance to really have a big day in Cincinnati.

GMEN HQ Analysis:

I must agree here. I truly believe Evan Engram had his best game of the season against the Eagles. The Bengals have had difficulties all year with opposing tight ends. It’s likely that the NY Giants offense will be spreading the ball all day Sunday and Engram is going to get several chances to prove he is still a difference-maker and can break a game open.
