Top 3 after three
The Giants' top three receivers may not seem to be as productive as they were last year, but they're actually pretty close to the pace they set in the first three games of their breakout 2009 season. The biggest difference may be Hakeem Nicks, who missed two of the first three games a year ago:
1st 3 of 2010 1st 3 of 2009
Player Rec.-yds.-TDs Rec-yds.-TDs
Steve Smith 18-181-0 23-277-2
Hakeem Nicks 13-169-4 2-18-0*
Mario Manningham 14-238-1 17-263-2
Totals 45-588-5 42-558-4
*Nicks was injured and missed Games 2 and 3 in 2009
