The NY Giants’ opponents have shown little fear for a secondary that might be among the more improved in the league, thus far this season.

Last week, the Washington Football Team actually schemed to isolate wide receiver Terry McLaurin into one-on-one coverage against James Bradberry, and were quite effective in doing so. McLaurin caught 11 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown, while averaging 9.7 yards per catch.

Meanwhile, in the season-opener, Jerry Jeudy caught six passes for 72 yards prior to getting injured.

Calvin Ridley is the Falcons’ most dynamic pass-catcher, and Matt Ryan has a 102.5 passer rating when targeting him.

Ridley has one touchdown reception so far this season, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he triples that total by the end of Sunday afternoon.
