4 NY Giants who must step up with Saquon Barkley out 3 weeks
• Saquon Barkley's injury doesn't appear to be serious at this time
2. WR Parris Campbell
Former Indianapolis Colts slot wide receiver Parris Campbell looks to thrive with the Giants. With Saquon injured, his role will increase tremendously in the passing and running games. From our chair, a breakout game is upon us for the veteran within the next few weeks.
In his second game with the G-Men, Campbell was more efficient, reeling four receptions on six targets. The 26-year-old receiver finished third on the team in catches and sixth in receiving yards with just 21. Compared to Hyatt in the deep passing game, Campbell looks excellent in short pass plays, but both showcased their speed on Sunday.
The Giants inked the former second-rounder to a one-year deal this offseason after he spent the previous four seasons with the Colts. Last season, Campbell broke out for 623 yards and three touchdowns on 63 receptions.
Despite Jones not having a favorite target just yet into the young season, we can expect Darren Waller, Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard, and Hyatt to all get opportunities with a challenging schedule ahead. However, with Barkley not suiting up against San Francisco and beyond, look for Campbell on the ground and in short passing plays.
