InsideTheStar.com takes a look at what players will improve in Week 2 against the Giants.

"Yet, he did not, so here we are, sitting at 0-and-1, but let’s be real, they will beat up the Giants. Did you see the way they looked yesterday?

Let me first start by saying you will not see CeeDee Lamb below, and that is because we know that Lamb won’t have four drops in a football game ever again

"George Pickens was not bad, he was just not involved as much as I thought he could have been. People are already talking about his lack of effort and saying he could some plays off in the run game, etc."
