The Giants are sending three of their top 4 wide receivers to injured reserve, so it's almost beside the point that they're traveling to Denver, whose secondary typically does a nice job against opposing wide receivers. But another secondary has done a great job against opponents in this area, as well: New York's.
The Giants also have a top tandem in Janoris Jenkins and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Five games into the season, the No. 1 and 2 wide receivers from the teams they've faced have done very little. Only two of those pass catchers have scored and none has reached even 70 receiving yards.

Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are a great duo, but they'll probably underperform this week.
