Drew Lock - Remains No. 2 quarterback Head coach Brian Daboll announced Monday that Lock will serve as the backup to starting quarterback Tommy DeVito beginning with Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, while Daniel J...

Impact Though Lock has served as the top backup to Jones all season, he'll stick in the No. 2 role while DeVito climbs from the bottom of the depth chart to the top. While Daboll declined to offer many specifics behind the changing of the guard at quarterback, the decision to bypass Lock for the starting nod is likely related to the signal-caller's contract, which contains multiple playing-time and performance-based incentives. Jones, meanwhile, has a contract that contains a $23 million guarantee for 2025 if he's unable to pass a physical in March, and with the Giants seemingly no longer viewing him as their franchise quarterback, the team will avoid exposing him to injury over the final seven games of the season by making him a healthy inactive. Lock is scheduled to become a free agent in 2025, which is another possible factor in the team's decision to start DeVito, who is two years younger and is likelier than Lock to be part of the roster next season.

Daniel Jones - Drops to third on depth chart Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Monday that Jones will serve as the Giants' No. 3 quarterback moving forward, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In his press conference, Daboll didn't go into specifics about why he elected to drop Jones from first to third on the depth chart, but the decision is almost certainly related to the quarterback's contract, which would guarantee him $23 million for 2025 if he were to suffer an injury at any point over the remainder of the season. Though the Giants plan to make Jones a healthy inactive as their emergency third quarterback for their final seven games, he'll continue to participate in practices and could still trigger the injury guarantee if he gets hurt in a team activity, per Patricia Traina of SI.com. Tommy DeVito will take over as the Giants' starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, while Drew Lock will remain in the top backup role as New York plays out the string on a non-contending campaign before presumably cutting bait with Jones this offseason.

Daniel Jones - Replaced as starter The Giants are in line to turn from Jones to Tommy DeVito as their starting quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Following the team's bye week, the 2-8 Giants elected to pivot from Jones and plan to turn to DeVito, rather than previous No. 2 QB Drew Lock. Aside from the team's record and the level of Jones' play this season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN notes that the Giants also had to factor in that there is a $23 million injury guarantee in Jones' contract for 2025 that becomes fully guaranteed if the QB gets injured and is unable to pass a physical in the offseason.

Tommy DeVito - In line to start Sunday DeVito is slated to start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact With the Giants electing to replace Daniel Jones as the team's starting signal caller, DeVito -- who had been serving as New York's emergency No. 3 QB -- is in line to get the nod this coming weekend, rather than previous backup Drew Lock. With six teams on bye in Week 12, DeVito represents an option for fantasy managers in QB-heavy formats, as well as those in need of a short-term lineup plug in.

Micah McFadden - Tallies seven tackles vs. Carolina McFadden registered seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Panthers.

Impact McFadden has logged at least five tackles in eight of nine regular-season games, and he's well on pace to reach 100 tackles for a second consecutive regular season. He's up to 65 combined tackles on the year, which is third-most on the Giants behind Bobby Okereke (75) and Tyler Nubin (69).

Graham Gano - Makes one of two FG tries in return Gano went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Carolina in Germany.

Impact Gano returned to action for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2. The veteran kicker's first chance at putting up points went awry, as he drove a 43-yard field-goal try wide right in the second quarter. Gano managed to bounce back from there, converting both of his extra-point attempts before drilling a clutch 42-yard field goal in the final 10 seconds of the fourth period to send the game into overtime. Despite his early miss Sunday, Gano seems to be recovered from the hamstring issue, and he'll almost certainly be the Giants' placekicker against Tampa Bay in Week 12 following New York's Week 11 bye.

Theo Johnson - Continues consistent production Johnson tallied four catches on six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's Week 10 overtime loss to the Panthers in Germany.

Impact Johnson finished third on New York in targets, fourth in receiving yards and tied for third in catches in the defeat. He's by no means putting up elite fantasy numbers, but with at least three catches and 30 yards in five of his past six games, the rookie tight end is at least establishing a reliable floor. Johnson has seen six targets in each of his past two contests, suggesting that he's emerging as an appealing option for quarterback Daniel Jones.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Jalin Hyatt - Has best game of season in Week 10 Hyatt totaled four catches on four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to Carolina in Germany.

Impact Coming into Sunday, Hyatt had managed just one catch on eight targets for six yards on the campaign. The second-year wideout finally put together some meaningful production against the Panthers, ranking third on the Giants in receiving yards while tying for third in receptions. Nearly half of Hyatt's yardage came on a 19-yard deep catch down the middle in the second quarter, though he also drew a pass-interference penalty in the first period that netted New York 43 yards. It's also worth noting that quarterback Daniel Jones turned to Hyatt three times with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth, and Hyatt caught all three of his targets on that drive to help set up a game-tying Graham Gano field goal. Hyatt's performance could lead to more looks in the passing game following the team's Week 11 bye, but he probably isn't going to reach the 73 percent offensive snap share he logged Sunday if all three of the receivers above him in the pecking order -- Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton (who was sidelined against Carolina due to a concussion) and Wan'Dale Robinson -- are healthy.
