Team news: New York Giants | Page 1

It looks like Drew Lock will be leading the Giants offense as the team tries to avoid extending their franchise record to 11 straight losses when they face the Colts on Sunday.

Lock went for an MRI on his right shoulder on Monday after getting banged up during last Sunday’s loss to the Falcons. On Tuesday, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that the tests showed no damage that would keep the quarterback from playing and that Lock is expected to start, the story went on to say.

The Giants have been swapping quarterbacks in and out of the lineup for the last few weeks and they may be making another change this week.

Head coach Brian Daboll said at a Monday press conference that Drew Lock is having an MRI on his right shoulder after hurting it in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons. The results of that test will help determine who starts against the Colts in Week 17.

As the story said, Lock returned to the starting lineup after sitting out in Week 15 with heel and elbow injuries. DeVito started in that game and suffered a concussion, but was cleared to serve as the backup against Atlanta so he would presumably get the nod if Lock is unable to go.

Browns officially named Dorian Thompson-Robinson as their starting QB for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.

This is a good sign for the Bengals D/ST, as Thompson-Robinson has a career 5.2% turnover-worthy play rate, with one passing touchdown and seven interceptions, including two back in Week 7 against this Cincinnati team. DTR will take off with the ball, but it's not enough to give him the starting nod in any fantasy lineups.

The Browns are making a change at quarterback: Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start for Cleveland against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Winston threw three INTs last week against the Chiefs and was removed in favor of DTR, who now will start in Week 16. It's not a bad matchup, as the Bengals D has had its share of struggles this season, but DTR isn't a safe start in terms of fantasy. That's especially true during fantasy playoff season. It's also likely to be bad news for the Browns offense overall, and owners may want to downgrade the rest of the Browns players when forming lineups for Week 16.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski isn’t yet ready to say who he will start at QB vs. the Bengals.

“Anything related to Cincinnati I’ll update you guys as we get into the week.”

Winston threw three more INTs against the Chiefs this past week and was pulled in favor of Thompson-Robinson, who also threw an INT among his nine attempts. It's a pretty good matchup against the Bengals in Week 16, although that's probably what Will Levis thought as well, so whoever the Browns starter is could have some fantasy upside, although come with obvious risks.

Giants HC Brian Daboll told reporters that QB Drew Lock is in a walking boot due to a heel injury and Tommy DeVito now is expected to start Sunday vs. the Ravens.

The Ravens path to an overall D/ST1 finish on the week becomes a little clearer. DeVito can safely be kept on benches in SuperFlex leagues on a week with zero byes.

The Giants aren’t planning to make another quarterback change this week, but they’ll have to wait for word on Drew Lock’s health before they know for sure.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said at his Monday press conference that Lock is sore and dealing with a couple of things after Sunday’s 14-11 loss to the Saints.

Daboll said Lock is having an MRI to rule out any structural issues, but he did not specify what part of the body is being looked at, the story said.

Kevin Stefanski is sticking with Jameis Winston as the Browns’ starting QB.

The Browns don't really have a better option at this point and it doesn't seem likely Thompson-Robinson is the future of the team or he probably would have been under center by now. Winston has 13 TD passes and 9 INTs in the eight games he's played. Winston can be in your fantasy QB mix in deeper leagues, and/or two QB or superflex leagues.

Malik Nabers will not practice today and has a hip flexor. A new injury Giants. Brian Daboll not sure about Sunday. Nabers is not ruled out at this time.

If Nabers ends up missing this week, Robinson is definitely a target for PPR leagues, but the rest of the group should probably be faded. This likely would also bump Tyrone Tracy's floor a tad, making him a no-doubt RB2 against a leaky Saints run defense.

The Giants plan to start Drew Lock at quarterback on Sunday against the Saints, per coach Brian Daboll.

Tommy DeVito (forearm) will be limited at practice.

Either option is someone we should be targeting with opposing D/STs, not as a fantasy-viable starter. Malik Nabers is the only Giants option we can confidently start, with Tyrone Tracy a fringe RB2/3, even in a great matchup.
