Daniel Jones has had his struggles over his first two years in the league and really went through a decline in production last season. A direct contributor to Jones’ lackluster 2020 season is the fact that he only had pro bowl running back Saquon Barkley in the back field with him for two games last season before the 2018 rookie of the year was lost to an ACL tear in week 2.
Barkley is expected to be ready to go come kickoff against the Broncos and if Denver plans to play like they did last year, they couldn’t be a more joyous sight for Barkley’s eyes. The Broncos were one of the NFL’s worst defenses against the run a year ago allowing 130 yards-per-game, eighth worst in the league.
Denver did try to improve their defense in the offseason, just not their run defense. They added cornerback Kyle Fuller in free agency and spent their first round pick on highly touted cornerback Patrick Surtain II out of Alabama.
The inactives are as follows:
Giants: Collin Johnson (WR), Josh Jackson (CB), Sam Beal (CB), Justin Hilliard (LB), Evan Engram (TE), Quincy Roche (LB)
Broncos: Bradley Chubb (OLB), Cameron Fleming (OT), McTelvin Agim (DE), Jamar Johnson (FS), Kary Vincent (CB), Nate McCrary (RB), Andrew Beck (TE)

Since Peyton Manning retired at the end of the 2015 season, the Broncos have had four different quarterbacks lead the team in passing and even more fill the starters role for an extended period. Denver is hoping Teddy Bridgewater puts a stop to the revolving door. He’ll have plenty of help on the offensive side of the ball with wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and running back Melvin Gordan.
The Broncos are 3-point favorites against the Giants. The over/under is 42. The 2021 NFL season marks the league’s first 17-game regular season schedule.

If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn't include CBS, and RedZone is available with the Sports Extra add on). You can get your local CBS NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.
The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.
Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with FOX, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.
NFL Sunday Ticket: This game is included in NFL Sunday Ticket, which is available even if you don't have DirecTV.
