Where are the Giants touchdowns coming from?
NY Post
Who is going to score touchdowns for the Giants next season?
Scoring six points instead of three is the name of the game in the NFL, but the Giants don’t have many names with much history in the end zone after Saquon Barkley signed with the Eagles.
Even fewer if Darren Waller retires — and the Giants have been operating in free agency like that is their expectation.
So, start with an offense that tied for the third-fewest offensive touchdowns last season (25) and subtract Barkley’s 47 career touchdowns, the departed Sterling Shepard’s 24 and maybe Waller’s 20. What’s left?
The Giants have 17 other running backs, receivers and tight ends under contract who combine for 72 career touchdowns from scrimmage — or 19 fewer than that trio.
By comparison, the 49ers led the NFL with 61 offensive touchdowns last season, and the Broncos scored a league-record 71 offensive touchdowns in 2013.
