30. New York Giants

Whatever happened to the New York Giants turning things around in 2018 after only winning three games all of last season? Between players like Odell Beckham Jr. getting healthy along with Eli Manning finally receiving some help in the backfield with Saquon Barkley, the Giants were expected to be one of those underrated teams in the NFC with the potential to emerge as a contender.

Turns out, New York is still a work in progress when looking at how the team has played for the most part over the last two weeks by only scoring 28 points. Even if the argument can be made that the Giants have faced two tough defenses in the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys, this still isn’t going to make them feel better about entering Week 3 looking for that first win.

On a positive note, Barkley continues to show signs of being the right choice for the Giants from April’s draft after leading the team with 14 receptions. Barkley only finishing with 28 rushing yards on 11 carries sounds concerning, but at least the rookie made up for it in the receiving department, which is one of the main reasons why New York was so high on him, for his ability to be used in multiple ways.
