Giants Bench Daniel Jones, Going With Tommy DeVito

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Jones has remained as inconsistent as ever this season, playing well in spurts but putting way too much bad football on tape. He's averaged just 6.1 yards per attempt with eight TDs and seven INTs. 

Jones deserves plenty of the blame -- he ranks 20th among 35 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' passing grades -- but New York's offensive line has remained a problem, especially since losing OT Andrew Thomas in mid-October.

So don't expect this passing game to be any better under DeVito, who averaged just 6.2 yards on 178 pass attempts last year. He's nothing more than a desperation add in 2-QB and Superflex leagues. We're still expecting to see Lock under center for New York at some point this season.

Other Winners & Losers

We're not certainly not upgrading WR Malik Nabers on this news. While Jones disappointed this season, he at least targeted Nabers on a whopping 30% of his routes. 

The rookie's volume should remain strong with DeVito, but we don't know for sure how he'll operate. And we can't project Nabers' efficiency to improve considering DeVito's ability and the fact that these two have very little rapport.

The good news for Nabers is that he has the easiest remaining WR schedule. That gives him a shot at WR1 production the rest of the way. He should at least be a volume-based WR2.
