The Facts: Manning is happy that the offense has remained in place and sees room for improvement. Manning believes that adding rookie wide receiver Sterling Shepard to the offense while also getting wideout Victor Cruz and tight end Larry Donnell back from injury will lead the team to put up even more points in 2016. "We expect to be able score the ball," Manning said. "We feel like we can score over 28 points a game. That's what we want to do. We were close to hitting that last year."
Diehards Line:
When Ben McAdoo arrived as the Giants’ OC in 2014, the Giants were coming off a season that saw them rank 28th in points scored. McAdoo has overseen a steady rise over the last two seasons, with the Giants jumping from just over 18 to 26.3 points a game by the end of the 2015 season. That work helped McAdoo bump Tom Coughlin out of the head coaching job this offseason in a move that brought some change to the team without throwing out something that’s worked well the last two years. From a fantasy perspective, a porous defense works in our favor; Manning and the offense have needed to be prolific. We'll see if that continues as well.
