Daniel Jones, QB vs. Derek Carr, QB

Daniel Jones has shown glimpses of promise in his third year as the Giants starter, but he’s been limited by injuries and still struggles with ball security. On the season, Jones has completed 67.5% of his passes for 909 yards, 5 touchdowns and 6 interceptions over just 6 games played. He’s taken 30 sacks and fumbled 9 times already as well. The Giants will need Jones to avoid costly turnovers if they want a shot at keeping pace on the road.

Derek Carr was brought in this past offseason to stabilize the Saints passing attack. So far, he’s posted decent numbers like 66.4% completions, 2880 yards, 13 TDs and 7 INTs through 13 starts. Carr gives New Orleans a veteran game manager, but he doesn’t take many chances downfield. His 6.9 yards per attempt ranks towards the bottom among current starters. The Saints will look to Carr to sustain drives and convert red zone trips into touchdowns.

Giants’ Offensive Dynamics: Seeking Consistency

Despite Daniel Jones’ limitations as a passer, the Giants offense flows through electric running back Saquon Barkley. Now two years removed from a torn ACL, Barkley looks as dynamic as ever tallying 697 rush yards at 4.2 yards per carry and chipping in 242 yards receiving. New York rushes for 148.2 yards per game as a team, fifth best in the NFL, so the Saints run defense will be tested containing Barkley’s cutback ability between the tackles. If Barkley gets loose for chunk plays, it could open up the intermediary passing game where New York lacks consistent weapons. Darius Slayton leads Giants receivers with just 32 catches for 435 yards and 1 score through 12 contests.
