The Giants will look to pick up their second consecutive victory this weekend when they travel to New Orleans for a Week 5 matchup against the Saints.
Last week's win included a range of emotions for the Giants. Quarterback Jaxson Dart played well in his first career start, leading the Giants to a 21-18 victory, but the offense lost Malik Nabers for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL.
The Saints are still looking for their first win of the season, coming off back-to-back road losses against the Seahawks and Bills. After each of their first two losses were one-possession games, they lost by an average of 21.5 points the last two weeks.
Here are five players to watch in Week 5.
QB Jaxson Dart
Dart put together a solid performance in his first NFL start, completing 65.0 percent of his passes for 111 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for a 96.0 passer rating. The 22-year-old also made an impact with his legs, adding 10 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown. Dart became the first rookie quarterback to beat a team 3-0 or better in his first career start since Phil Simms did so against the 5-0 Buccaneers back in 1979.
After the defense forced a three-and-out to open the game, the Giants got the ball for the first time on their own 11-yard line. Dart led the offense all the way down the field, completing both of his pass attempts for 20 yards and adding another 28 yards on the ground, including his 15-yard touchdown run to open the scoring. He became the first quarterback since Patrick Mahomes in 2017 to lead a touchdown drive of 80 or more yards on the first possession of his first career start.
Dart and the rest of the offense now face a Saints defense that ranks 30th in scoring and have allowed nine passing touchdowns this season, tied for the third-most in the NFL.
"Just have the same mindset each and every week," Dart said Wednesday on turning last week's win into a two-game win streak. "We've got to be able to have the competitive mindset to expect to win and just try to create situations where maybe we face a little bit of adversity in practice and just go through that. But I think it's really just the habits you try to create each and every day to build that momentum and if you make a mistake, clean it up on the very next play and get things right."

WR Wan'Dale Robinson
To put it simply, there is no replacing Malik Nabers. The star wide receiver had gotten his NFL career off to a historic start, and his loss is one the offense will feel for the remainder of the year. With that said, the other wide receivers on the team will have to step up in Nabers' place, and it starts with Wan'Dale Robinson. The fourth-year wideout ranks second on the team behind Nabers in targets (35) and receiving yards (237), while his 18 receptions are tied for the team lead.
Most of Robinson's production this season came during his Week 2 breakout in Dallas, where he pulled in eight receptions for a career-high 142 yards and a touchdown. But following Nabers' injury, the shifty receiver tied for the team lead in targets with four. More so than anything, his big performance in Dallas showed that he is more than capable of lining up on the outside in addition to his snaps in the slot. The Giants are going to need Robinson, Darius Slayton, and the rest of the wide receiver corps to step up.
"(Wide receivers coach) Coach Groh does an awesome job of getting the guys prepared," assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka said Thursday. "It's really just a next-man-up mentality, whether it's Beaux (Collins), Jalin (Hyatt). Again, the roster moves as we get moving, if there's a guy coming up or not. But I think those guys just step up into their roles, Wan'Dale, Slay, the leaders that they are, and continue to kind of carry the torch. Because I think we have some explosive guys in that room and the more the ball can get spread out to those guys, the better."
TE Theo Johnson
Speaking of guys that could be leaned on more, the second-year tight end matched Robinson with four targets following Nabers' departure and was the recipient of Dart's first career touchdown, which came on a shovel pass close to the goal line. Johnson finished the game with three receptions for 17 yards and the touchdown while playing nearly 70 percent of the offensive snaps.
Through the first four games, Johnson is tied for third on the team with 15 targets. With Nabers' team-leading 35 targets now out of the equation, it opens up more for the rest of the pass-catchers. While his season got off to a bit of a slow start, Johnson now has an opportunity to step up and become a focal point of the passing game.
"I love Theo," Dart said. "He's a stud. He's a guy that comes to work every single day and works at his craft very diligently and consistently. When you see a guy like that, you definitely have a ton of respect for him. We've built a really good relationship off the field as well. I'm just excited for him and I's relationship to continue to grow. He's going to make a lot of really big plays for us this year."
OLB Brian Burns
We could have gone with any of the top three outside linebackers here, but after his torrid start to the season, Brian Burns gets the nod. Burns has at least one sack in each game this season, while his five sacks have him tied for the most in the NFL. The veteran picked up four quarterback hits of Justin Herbert, one behind Abdul Carter for the most on the team, to go with seven total pressures (also one behind Carter for a team high).
The pass rush was able to get pressure on 47.7 percent of Herbert's drop-backs, and on those plays, the quarterback completed only five of 19 attempts for 80 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Over the last three games, Burns has picked up 18 total pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. He now has 20 pressures on the season, putting him on pace for 85 on the year, which would beat his previous career-high of 68 set in 2022.
"He's done it since OTAs," Daboll said about Burns' performance this year. "The effort that he's displayed out at practice, the leadership, not just the vocal leadership, but how he goes about his business. I'm not surprised with some of the things that he's done this year because he shows it out here every day, and he's done it since OTAs. He's had a really good camp. I just remember showing a bunch of clips with him over and over every day of this is the type of effort and the standard that we need to play with, and we're going to need to continue to get that from him. He gives everything he has every game he's out there. He's a talented player, and again, we need him to be that way for us."
"He means a lot," Carter added about Burns' influence. "Ever since I got here, like in training camp, you see the way he practices, the way he goes about his business. It all shows up in the game, so we look up to him a lot."
CB Dru Phillips
Dru Phillips bounced back from a down game in Week 3 to have perhaps the best performance of his young career this past weekend. Phillips had a career-high four pass breakups, including his second interception of the season, to go with two solo tackles. The slot corner was able to return his interception 56 yards the other way to set up Dart's touchdown pass to Johnson.
Herbert targeted Phillips in coverage seven times in Week 4, of which only two were caught for 10 yards. The 23-year-old earned a passer rating against of 0.0, forced three incompletions, and did not have any penalties called on him. Heading into Week 5, Phillips leads the NFL with eight passes defensed, while his two interceptions are only one behind Chicago's Kevin Byard and Jacksonville's Devin Lloyd for the most in the league. Phillips has already beat his rookie numbers of one interception and one pass defensed, while his 22 total tackles, including two tackles for loss, put him on pace to beat those marks, as well.
PFF recently named Phillips their secret superstar in Week 4.
For at least some of Sunday's game, Phillips will match up against Saints wide receiver Chris Olave. The 25-year-old wideout has lined up in the slot 37.1 percent of the time this season and leads the team with 26 receptions, which he's taken for 185 yards and a touchdown. Phillips could see plenty of tight end Juwan Johnson, as well, as the veteran has lined up in the slot on 48.2 percent of his snaps. The tight end is second on the team with 22 receptions, but his 204 receiving yards rank first.
