LB Alec Ogletree: Ogletree now has five interceptions this season, tying Jerry Hillebrand's record set in 1963 for most by a linebacker in franchise history. With those hands, the veteran linebacker is lobbying coach Pat Shurmur and offensive coordinator Mike Shula for some snaps at tight end.

OLB Olivier Vernon: After recording just 11 sacks in their first 10 games, the Giants racked up 13 in the past three weeks. Vernon accounts for 3.5 in that span, notching 2.0 against Chicago and 1.5 in last week's victory in Washington.

RB Saquon Barkley: The second overall pick has 12 games with at least 100 scrimmage yards, tying Edgerrin James (1999) for the second-most games with 100 scrimmage yards by a rookie in NFL history. Pro Football Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson holds the record with 13 games in 1983.

WR Sterling Shepard: When he's not catching touchdowns, Shepard is laying key blocks for Saquon Barkley in the running game. Odell Beckham Jr. is still dealing with a quad injury, which means the rest of the receiving corps will have to step up.

TE Evan Engram: With Odell Beckham Jr. sidelined last week, Engram made his return from a hamstring injury and led the team with 77 receiving yards. The second-year pro is averaging 12.8 yards per catch this season, eighth-highest NFL among tight ends.
