Mike Evans and Chris Godwin vs. Giants secondary:

The Giants have been getting shredded through the air through the first two weeks of the season by both the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills. Dak Prescott had a career day week one, throwing for 405 yards and three touchdowns, while Josh Allen had 253 yards in the air and a score on Sunday against this G-Men defense.

This secondary is ripe for the picking, and Jameis Winston should be able to get the ball to his playmakers. Star wide receiver Mike Evans has had a quiet start to his six year in the league, but do not be alarmed by this, and he should have a day against this secondary. Chris Godwin has been in the zone early with touchdowns in back-to-back games; he coming off a career night against the Panthers, expect him to keep up that pace here.

Next. What Buccaneers defense should expect against Daniel Jones. dark

Cowboys receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup each put up over 100 yards in week one against the Giants. Last week Cole Beasley and John Brown had 83 and 72 yards respectively for the Bills. Evans and Godwin will be the best tandem of that group that the Giants will have faced, and this duo has potential to hit the jackpot on Sunday.
