He averaged 12.5 yards per catch and is a hit-or-miss player as he had zero receptions in two of his final five games last season.

The pick: The New York Giants will be in rainy conditions and the Tennessee Titans will wear them down in the trenches all game long. Derrick Henry will run it down their throats and will have no answer for him. Saquon Barkley will not be as effective and Ryan Tannehill and Daniel Jones won’t do much. Don’t expect wide receivers Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, Sterling Shepard, and Wan’Dale Robinson for the New York Giants to do much and neither will Treylon Burks, Robert Woods, Kyle Phillips, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee will win this football game over New York by a final score of 24-6.
Tennessee Titans (-6.5) (-110) under (-43.5) (-110) money line (-250) over the New York Giants is the play here for Week One.
