Giants hoping QB Daniel Jones plays Week 14

Dec 07, 2020

Giants coach Joe Judge said the team will give QB Daniel Jones (hamstring) “every opportunity” to play this coming week.

Rapoport said it sounds like there is optimism that Jones will be able to suit up. It's a potentially big add to the team even though McCoy led the G-Men to a surprise victory in Seattle. New York is in great position to win the NFC East so Jones would certainly help in that quest. The Giants host the Cardinals in Week 14.

Patriots sign WR Stefon Diggs to three-year deal

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs reached agreement on a three-year, $69 million deal including $26 million guaranteed with the New England Patriots.

Related Players: Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker

Fantasy Impact:

This is an incredible injection of talent to what is arguably the worst WR room in the NFL. Diggs should be immediately considered somewhere in the WR3 range, with (hopefully) more weapons for Drake Maye coming in the next month.

Giants to sign QB Russell Wilson to one-year deal

The Giants and Super Bowl-winning QB Russell Wilson reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed.
The 10-time Pro-Bowl selection had been in discussions with the Giants, Browns, and Steelers, but is opting for New York, where Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium. Now, Wilson is returning there as the Giants’ projected starting QB.

Related Players: Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito

Fantasy Impact:

We would have loved to see Winston airing it out to Malik Nabers, but the Giants have made a stand to bring Wilson on board. We'll have to see if they still make a move for a first-round option during the NFL Draft, but as it stands, no Giants QB is worth redraft consideration.

Giants sign QB Jameis Winston

Veteran QB Jameis Winston is signing with the Giants, per source.

The team remains open to adding another QB through free agency or the draft, and Winston’s deal — two years, $8 million — doesn’t preclude them from making additional QB moves.

Related Players: Tommy DeVito

Fantasy Impact:

As the report says, this doesn't mean they'll be ignoring the QB position at the top of the NFL Draft, but it gives them a little more insurance at the position, and, hey, it brings some more excitement, too. Winston would be a much larger net positive to the receiving group over DeVito, if they need either to make some 2025 starts.
