1. CB Adoree’ Jackson

Ranking third on the team in total tackles through five weeks is Adoree’ Jackson with 26. He’s been all over the field making plays for the Giants. Earlier in the week, Jackson was limited at practice as he was listed with a knee/neck injury. The Giants are already extremely thin at CB and could really use Jackson on Sunday.

Lining up alongside Jackson at CB2 is Fabian Moreau. He’s earned a starting spot since Aaron Robinson went on the IR. Rookie CB Cor’Dale Flott is supposed to be a corner who can rotate in when needed, but he’s battling a knee injury. Another CB in Darnay Holmes is dealing with a quad issue. Hopefully a few of these guys can tough it out and be ready for Sunday.

If the Giants thought last week’s game vs. the Packers was hard, they’ve got another thing coming with the Ravens. Martindale will surely be ready for this game, as he’d like to get a win vs. his former team.

The Giants defense will have to wreak some serious havoc on Lamar if they want a chance to win. Once you think you have him beat, he scrambles out of the pocket and beats you with his legs. This one should be an interesting showdown, and Jackson will be needed to deliver.
