Giants are releasing Daniel Jones.

Related Players: Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock

It looks like it's all up to DeVito and Lock to carry the team toward a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Neither one is particularly exciting in a bad Giants offense, but DeVito is a fine streamer for desperate managers in Week 12.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that the team would use its bye week to evaluate all options at quarterback and they’ve reportedly made their decision.

According to multiple reports, the Giants will bench Daniel Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Tommy DeVito is expected to take over as the team’s starter.

This news shouldn't come as a surprise as we detailed last week perhaps the biggest reason the Giants would bench Jones after their bye week - his $23 million injury guarantee. The story speculates no one is likely to trade for Jones after the season, and so it's expected he'll be released by the team at some point. The decision to start DeVito does make some sense as he was a popular player during his 15 minutes of fame last season, and he does at least bring some rushing upside in terms of fantasy. His only value for now comes in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues.

The 2-6 Giants are not yet making a quarterback change.

Coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Tuesday that Daniel Jones remains the starting quarterback going forward.

The Giants host the Commanders on Sunday. The story mentioned that at some point, the Giants will likely bench Jones in order to avoid his $23 million injury guarantee for 2025. They’re apparently not at that point yet, the story added. The other options behind Jones are Lock and DeVito.

Brian Daboll reiterated what he said in his post-game presser yesterday: Daniel Jones is the starting QB for Giants "going forward" to Pittsburgh and MNF.

Daboll went on to say in the post that Jones gives Giants their best chance, and the issues were collective, not solely on Jones. Lock didn't do much better, so Jones gets at least one more chance against a tough Steelers defense in Week 8.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is already back on the field practicing during OTAs and has no doubt he will be ready for Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, despite tearing the ACL in his right knee late last year.

Jones showed no ill effects while participating in individual and 7-on-7 drills Thursday, just six months after injuring that knee in a November loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jones -and the entire Giants offense- had an incredibly disappointing 2023. Of five complete games in which he attempted at least 20 pass attempts, he threw a touchdown in only one. Though he did show his ceiling in Week 2 when he threw his two '23 touchdowns and scored 30+ fantasy points. He is an interesting deep SuperFlex option with a bona fide WR1 (Malik Nabers) on the roster.

Tyrod Taylor will start vs the Rams, per Brian Daboll

Taylor will find himself in a very positive matchup against the Ram's secondary, but the Giant's skill position group is lacking, providing him with little ceiling. He should be kept off starting lineups in all but the deepest of 2QB leagues.

For one thing, Tommy DeVito will continue to be the Giants’ quarterback; coach Brian Daboll said Sunday evening that DeVito will remain the starter next week.

The story pointed out DeVito is 3-2 as a starter and looks miles ahead of where he was when he took his first professional snaps against the New York Jets in Week 8, and the story asked readers to remember when the Giants barely trusted him to throw the ball. DeVito has earned more trust each week. With questions going forward at the QB position, especially with Jones, the Giants have good reason to stick with DeVito and see what he can do for the remainder of the season. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 16 against the Eagles.

Tommy DeVito will get another start at quarterback for the Giants.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll made the announcement about the team’s plans for Week 14 on Tuesday. The story went on to say DeVito has started the last three games, but there was some question about who would get the nod for Monday night against the Packers because Taylor has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor is getting closer to a return.

Taylor is being designated for return from injured reserve and his 21-day practice window is being opened, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Taylor has been on injured reserve for the last four weeks after suffering a rib injury.

The story expects Taylor to eventually be activated. However, the team has gone 2-1 over the last three games with DeVito as the starter so it would seem to make more sense for the Giants to stick with DeVito and evaluate him for the rest of the season.

On Monday, GM Joe Schoen said “the expectation moving forward” is that Daniel Jones, who signed a four-year deal with the Giants this offseason, will be the starter once he’s healthy.

Schoen added there’s no firm timetable for when Jones will be healthy. The Giants will likely be making a move at the position in 2024, and Schoen said the team will likely have to do something in the draft or free agency in terms of quarterback.
