Kenny Golladay
WR, Giants
Kenny Golladay is pretty underrated this year. He’s the clear number one receiver for the Giants and has proven that he can be a very productive player. Golladay had 65 catches for 1,190 yards and 11 touchdowns in his last full season. Sure, he isn’t in a great situation with the Giants, but let’s not forget that Golladay is coming from the Lions. Detroit isn’t a great place to be by any means. Matthew Stafford is significantly better than Daniel Jones, but Golladay is probably going to see much more volume than he ever has in his career. There was much more competition for targets in Detroit and the Giants wouldn’t have paid Golladay as much as they did if they didn’t plan to force-feed him the ball. It’s entirely possible to see Golladay get 150+ targets this year. Daniel Jones is also great on deep passes (it’s easily his strongest area), which is where Golladay excels. Because of that, Golladay has the ability to match the numbers he put up in Detroit, so he should be viewed as a solid WR2.
