5 players to watch on Monday Night Football
Keep an eye on these five players as the Giants get set for MNF vs. Atlanta
TE EVAN ENGRAM
After missing three games with a knee injury, the dynamic tight end is on schedule to return against the Falcons. It would also be a homecoming for the native of Powder Springs, which is located 20 miles northwest of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
RB SAQUON BARKLEY
The second overall pick is second in the NFL only to Todd Gurley with 811 yards from scrimmage (438 rushing, 373 receiving) through six weeks.
OLB OLIVIER VERNON
After dealing with an ankle injury, Vernon made his 2018 debut last week and recorded a sack in his first game back.
CB JANORIS JENKINS
Jenkins and the Giants' pass defense draws an elite wide receiver this week in Julio Jones, who leads active players with 96.7 yards receiving per game since he came into the league in 2011 (minimum 70 games). Jones, however, has yet to catch a touchdown this season.
WR STERLING SHEPARD
The Falcons have allowed the third-most yards after catch (928) this season. Shepard and the Giants' receivers will try to add to that on Monday night.
