In 2018, Evan Engram missed five games due to a string of injuries.
He had 45 receptions last season and a total of three touchdowns.
Engram will finally see the field again during the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

NEW YORK - Tight end Evan Engram, 24, of the New York Giants is ready to play this season. The Giants suffered a huge loss in Odell Beckham Jr. and they’re hoping that Engram can fill that void. This will be Engram’s third season with the franchise and the third year of his professional career.

Engram was held out from postseason practices due to hamstring issues that plagued him during the spring. The Giants did not want to take any chances for an injury during preseason practices, having Engram sit them out. However, the tight end believes he is in the best playing shape of his life.

“I feel myself kind of growing into a bigger leadership role, bigger role in the offense, I’m just excited. I haven’t felt this good in a while,” said Engram. “Being professional, taking care of my body, it’s making a huge difference.”

In the 26 games he’s played professionally, he’s made 26 touchdowns and had 109 pass completions for a total of 1,299 yards. Engram, standing tall at 6-foot-3 and weighing in at 240lbs has realized the importance of taking care of his body so that he is able to play at maximum capacity. Changing both his sleep and eating habits have improved his game immensely.

While he has been sitting out of team practices, he has maintained his own exercise regimen alongside them. Engram has always been great when it came to running the field but he’s now acquired better skills when it comes to blocking that he hopes to display during the season.

“It’s crazy how much better I have gotten at the blocking game," said Engram.

The Giants see great potential in Engram and plan to use it to their advantage this season. As for Engram, his game plan is to stay healthy and keep his head in the game. SportsBettingNewYork.com thinks that not only does he have aspirations of going to the Super Bowl, but he also hopes to one day be the player that others are compared to when talking about the best tight ends of the NFL.

The New York Giants have +8000 odds to win the Super Bowl. Their first game of the season, featuring Engram on the field will be against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are favored to win with odds of -380. The Giants will enter AT&T Stadium with odds of +290. The game is set for September 8th at 4:25 pm ET and will be televised on the FOX network.

Do The New York Giants Have What It Takes In 2019?

Christina Monroe — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 21:48:22 +0000

The New York Giants went 5-11 in their 2018 season.
In 2017 they finished at 3-13, making 2018 a step in the right direction.
Can coach Pat Shurmur turn the team around in his second season as head coach?

NEW YORK – The New York Giants have left a lot to be desired in their past few seasons. Ever since their Super Bowl win in 2011, they have been in a slow, downward spiral. Many believe that would change under the direction of a new coach. However, after one season with the Giants, coach Pat Shurmur has not made much of a difference in the team’s overall performance.

According to Sports Illustrated Analyst Conor Orr, he believes that the New York Giants have what it takes to make a 180 on the field.

“After another offseason spent loading up on offensive line help, the Giants could theoretically control the line against almost all of their opponents. Saquon Barkley is primed for a phenomenal season, leading to the possibility of a higher-end, quarterback agnostic offense with Eli Manning and Daniel Jones behind center. While this isn’t a Super Bowl winning formula, it’s a formula that could help the Giants navigate the 27th-most difficult schedule in the NFL, Orr posted during his 2019 NFL team breakdown.

The 2019 Season

The New York Giants have been given one of the easiest schedules for the season, second in the NFC conference and number six overall. If the Giants want a shot at any post-season games, they’ll need to capitalize on their schedule. A lot will land on the shoulders of quarterback Eli Manning. Eli definitely got the short end of the genetic stick with a brother like Peyton. If he cannot bring the Giants a couple of wins at the beginning of the season, he may get benched, unheard of for a Manning that’s not injured.

A lot of the strategy for the New York Giants will come from the way Pat Shurmur plays his offense and the way James Bettcher plays his defense. If they can get both sides of the team to play well, there is no telling how far the Giants will be able to go.

A lot of the season will be riding on just how much running back Saquon Barkley will be able to do on the field. He was rated number two in the top NFL players under the age of 25 by the Bleacher Report and he is a key player on the Giants roster.

Shurmur has a five-year deal with the Giants and he is slowly rebuilding the team. There are plenty of naysayers that want him gone after one season.

“If Shurmur is still in the Big Apple at the beginning of the 2020 season, it will be something of an upset,” Gary Davenport of the Bleacher Report wrote.

However, SportsBettingNewYork.com thinks if Conor Orr is to be believed, the Giants might just show Davenport and their fans what a winning season looks like. The New York Giants have been given 16/1 odds to win in their division title in 2019. Their first game is against the Dallas Cowboys, on September 8th where they have odds of +275 to win while the Cowboys have been given -350 odds to start out the season.
