Team news: New England Patriots | Page 4

Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito did not appear on Monday’s injury report, but he will be on Tuesday’s edition.

Head coach Brian Daboll said at a press conference that DeVito will be limited during the team’s walkthrough practice. The Giants did not practice on Monday, but estimated practice participation levels ahead of Thursday’s game in Dallas.

The Giants travel to Dallas for a Thursday game. On Monday DeVito was named the starter for this week, but this will be a situation to monitor if you were counting on DeVito in your lineup. If DeVito can't go, Lock would get the start but the team is hoping it will be DeVito under center.

Giants sticking with Tommy DeVito for another start.

The Giants are sticking with DeVito even though they were counting on some of the magic he showed last season - which never came to be against the Buccaneers. The move makes sense as the Giants are on a short week and play at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. The game is a winnable one for the Giants, and its another chance to see if DeVito can give the offense any kind of spark and perhaps earn a job as a backup next season. DeVito is a risky start even against a Dallas defense that hasn't been very good at times this season.

Brock Purdy is NOT practicing as 49ers final session underway in rain before flight to Green Bay.

Related Players: Brandon Allen, Joshua Dobbs

Other 49ers beat reporters had mentioned that Purdy "shut himself down" "mid-practice" on Thursday, which certainly can't be a good sign. All skill position players would take a step down if either Allen or Dobbs ends up playing this weekend, and either would be a QB streaming option for Superflex leagues.

Giants are releasing Daniel Jones.

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.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

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 Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.

Dalton Kincaid (knee) WILL NOT play against the Chiefs, Sean McDermott announces on WGR 550.

Spencer Brown (ankle) and Amari Cooper (wrist) are both questionable.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Knox gets boosted up into tight end streamer territory, in a good matchup against the Chiefs, who have been susceptible to the position.

Shakir should be considered an interesting WR3 regardless, but gets a boost to his projections should Cooper miss another week.

Jerod Mayo says Kendrick Bourne is expected to play this weekend.

Related Players: Demario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, K.J. Osborn

Kendrick Bourne didn't log a snap in the Patriots' 19-3 Week 10 win, as there seems to be a riff between the WR and the coaching staff, or at the very least, he's been pushed all the way down the depth chart. We should continue to see some of the younger guys earn more playing time as the season closes down, but none of them are fantasy priorities until one emerges in the clouded target share.
