With several teammates sidelined due to injuries, Fowler has a chance to step up as the primary wide receiver.
As the NFL enters its second week, the Giants are facing a shortage of key players. Golden Tate, a wide receiver, is currently serving a suspension, while Sterling Shepard is dealing with a concussion. Meanwhile, Cody Latimer’s status remains uncertain, with his availability for the upcoming game to be determined just before kickoff. This leaves Bennie Fowler, a newcomer with limited experience, to assume the responsibilities of a wide receiver.
Fowler’s average yards per target stand at only 6.8, placing him at a considerable disadvantage, especially considering he will be up against the formidable Buffalo Bills’ Tre’Davious White. His prospects may seem bleak, but in the previous game, Fowler managed to make the most of all five targets he received, gaining a total of 40 yards.
Other contenders for the wide receiver position this week include Russell Shepard, Cody Core, and TJ Jones. The competition for this challenging role remains uncertain.
