One of the weakest position groups last season for the New York Giants was their wide receiving core. Poor free-agent acquisitions, disgruntled stars, and a rash of injuries ultimately sunk the group while being a key cause of their divisional-round playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Since their season-ending blowout loss, though, general manager Joe Schoen has been busy in improving the group to be more respectable across the league. Many newcomers have their own questions to their name, but at the very least, they are more complete than last year’s group.

Dallas has Ceedee Lamb. Philadelphia has AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. Even Washington has Terry McLaurin. New York’s additions to wide receiver (and tight end) have left a good core of receivers that complement each other’s skillsets.

Slayton has been the most consistent receiver for the Giants over the years, Campbell is a free agent signing coming off a very nice season in Indianapolis, and Wan’Dale Robinson is the kind of shifty playmaker that could alter a game. Many of the names on the Giants’ roster could grow into the type of top receiver needed to win in the modern age of football.
As training camp begins though, the question of who the top target will be is still very much up for debate.
Can the group stay healthy?
