If each wide receiver on the Giants was his own stock, the investing market would be in complete chaos. It seems every day there is a new receiver leapfrogging others and skyrocketing toward the 53-man roster — where just two or three spots remain behind locks Darius Slayton, Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard.
