New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (concussion) was participating in drills at practice on Wednesday, so he's on track to clear the league's concussion protocol by Sunday in order to serve as the backup to starter Drew Lock in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons. DeVito made the first start after the team parted ways with Daniel Jones in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a right-forearm injury forced him into a backup role the following two weeks before he made his second start in place of the injured Lock in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old then suffered a concussion on Sunday, but he appears to be making good progress and could be cleared for a backup role this weekend. The second-year signal-caller underwhelmed in his two starts before getting hurt and will be New York's backup as long as Lock can remain healthy through the final three weeks.

According to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team, New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game with a concussion. DeVito sustained this injury during the second quarter. As a result, veteran Tim Boyle will get the start for the remainder of the game. Before his early exit, DeVito went 10-for-13 with 68 yards. He was sacked two times and did not get on the scoresheet. Fantasy managers in Superflex formats should monitor DeVito's status after today's game as he may miss an extended period of time.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito will return as QB1 in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens after a brief absence due to injury (forearm). In his lone start of the season back in Week 12, DeVito posted a modest 10.76 fantasy points with 189 passing yards, 32 rushing yards, and no touchdowns, showcasing limited upside. The matchup against Baltimore presents a mixed bag for the young signal-caller: while the Ravens rank last in passing defense, allowing 264.9 yards per game and 23 touchdowns on the season, they've limited quarterbacks to just 14.41 fantasy points per game over the past four weeks, the third-lowest mark in the league. DeVito's ceiling is capped by Baltimore's strong pass rush (they will pin their ears back if they get a big lead) and the Giants' struggling offensive line, which surrendered four sacks in his prior start. Proceed with caution in fantasy formats.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (forearm) returned to a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Although DeVito appears to be recovering from a right-forearm injury that kept him out of the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys last Thursday, the Giants are planning to give Drew Lock a second straight start under center this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. DeVito was inactive last Thursday, but he's trending toward serving as Lock's backup this weekend. And if Lock underwhelms again, it wouldn't be surprising to see the G-Men turn back to DeVito in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens in a plus matchup. In his lone start this year in the Week 12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeVito went 21-for-31 for just 189 yards without a TD or interception.

According to head coach Brian Daboll, New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (forearm) will be the team's backup quarterback if healthy. Pat Leonard of the team reported the news. Per Daboll, DeVito "may be ready." New York is approaching their Week 14 contest against the New Orleans Saints with signal-caller Drew Lock as the team's QB1. As noted by the coach, it will be Lock's first full week of prep as the starter. With little upside surrounding the Giants' QB situation, fantasy managers should steer clear of it for now. Presently, the 26-year-old is little more than waiver-wire fodder in 2QB and superflex formats, while Lock is a low-end QB2.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants designated DeVito as their emergency third quarterback, so he could technically get into the game if starter Drew Lock and backup Tim Boyle both suffer injuries and cannot return. In all likelihood, though, DeVito will spend the entirety of Thursday's game on the sideline. He could return to the starting lineup in Week 14, but Lock will also have a chance to prove the QB1 job belongs to him, especially if he leads the Giants to a divisional victory over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
Nov 28, 2024 3:03 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm), who is officially questionable to play in Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, is not being ruled out yet. A report earlier suggested that DeVito was viewed as more of a long shot to play through his questionable tag in Week 13. However, Rapoport reports that DeVito will see how he feels when he wakes up on Thursday and will test his injured right forearm by throwing. The 26-year-old didn't travel with the team to Dallas in order to undergo more testing on his arm, but he will travel on his own. It's shaping up to be a game-time decision on Thursday as to whether DeVito makes a second straight start. If he cannot go, it will be Drew Lock leading New York's offense. Either way, it's not a pretty situation for the Giants' offense, and fantasy managers should treat DeVito and Lock as desperation QB2s in superflex leagues.

Updating a previous report, New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) is considered a long shot to be able to play on Thanksgiving on Thursday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys after sitting out Wednesday's walkthrough practice, according to a source. It puts backup Drew Lock in line to start his first game of the year after the Giants waived Daniel Jones last Friday. DeVito is dealing with a right-forearm injury and is undergoing further evaluation. DeVito predictably fell flat leading the offense in the 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, so if Lock is an improvement in Week 13 versus Dallas, he could take over the starting gig for the G-Men the rest of the way in 2024. The 28-year-old Lock completed his only pass attempt for three yards last Sunday against Tampa and will now be in play as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues this week against Dallas.

The New York Giants are listing quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) as questionable for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys due to a right-forearm injury. DeVito wasn't even listed on the injury report on Monday before being limited in Tuesday's walkthrough. The 26-year-old made his first start of the year in the 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12 and predictably struggled to move the offense consistently. He went 21-for-31 for 189 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. DeVito probably won't be 100% if he plays, making him an even less attractive low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues. If DeVito is ruled out, Drew Lock would make his first start of the year. Either way, the Cowboys defense/special teams unit is certainly worth a play in Week 13 with questions surrounding New York's QB situation.
Nov 27, 2024 12:02 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) will test his right forearm in practice on Tuesday but will be listed as a limited participant. Backup Drew Lock will also get some repetitions as the team prepares to face the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving on Thursday. Head coach Brian Daboll said he's "hopeful" that DeVito plays in Week 13, but it's not 100% that he'll be active. DeVito came out of the Week 12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat up, but now we know specifically that it's his throwing forearm that is bothering him. The 26-year-old wasn't listed on the injury report on Monday but is now up in the air for this week. Either way, the Giants offense might be in trouble against a Dallas defense that surprised by beating the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Whoever is starting under center for the G-Men on Thanksgiving will be a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues.
Nov 26, 2024 1:23 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (undisclosed) did not appear on the team's initial injury report for Week 13. DeVito was banged up during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had to leave the game for one play, but he returned to the contest and is now trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. DeVito did struggle in his first start of the 2024 campaign, completing 21 of his 31 pass attempts for 189 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He took four sacks but did make up some ground with his 32 rushing yards. The 26-year-old ranks as a fantasy QB3 for Week 13, even with a favorable matchup against the Cowboys on tap.
Nov 26, 2024 12:10 AM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said after the Week 12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday that quarterback Tommy Devito will make the start in Week 13 on Thanksgiving on Thursday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys "if he's healthy." DeVito got the wind knocked out of him on the final drive of the game in the fourth quarter and left for a play before coming back in. After returning, he took another big hit and didn't look great leaving the stadium. The 26-year-old signal-caller probably won't do much in practice from Monday through Wednesday, but we'd expect him to be out there against Dallas after going 21-for-31 for 189 yards with no TDs or interceptions in the 30-7 blowout loss to the Bucs. Dallas' defense has been disappointing in 2024, but they put up a spirited effort in the upset win over Washington on Sunday. DeVito will remain a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues if he plays.
Nov 25, 2024 12:02 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito, in his first start of the season after replacing the recently released Daniel Jones, completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DeVito averaged 6.1 yards per attempt and added 32 rushing yards, but was sacked four times, resulting in a modest 10.76 fantasy points. The Giants' offense struggled significantly, trailing 23-0 at halftime with only 45 total yards, including a mere 31 passing yards. DeVito's performance reflects the team's broader offensive challenges, making him a non-option for fantasy managers moving forward.
Nov 25, 2024 12:03 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito will make his 2024 debut in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the team's Week 11 bye. DeVito inherits the starting role after the release of Daniel Jones and steps into a favorable matchup against the league's worst defense against fantasy quarterbacks. The Buccaneers have allowed 23.08 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs (32nd in the NFL) and rank 30th against the pass, giving up 264.1 passing yards and 20 touchdowns this season. While DeVito has yet to play in 2024, his 2023 stats include eight passing TDs and 195 rushing yards in nine games, showcasing dual-threat upside. Facing a struggling Bucs defense, DeVito is a high-risk but intriguing streaming option.
Nov 23, 2024 12:55 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito will return under center after Daniel Jones has been benched coming out of the team's bye week. The Giants sit at 2-8 which is the worst record in the entire NFC through almost 11 weeks. To make matters worse, they've scored the least amount of points in the NFL with 156. Enter Tommy Cutlets, who captured a lot of hearts last season as an underdog, heartwarming story. He guided the Giants to a 3-3 record during his starts while accumulating 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions on a 64.0% completion percentage along with 195 yards and another score on 36 attempts.
Nov 18, 2024 9:30 AM EST
ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan reports that the New York Giants will keep three quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster to begin the 2024 regular season, according to head coach Brian Daboll. It means that QB Tommy Devito will stick on the roster behind starter Daniel Jones and backup Drew Lock. DeVito has made the team after going 14-for-27 for 103 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the preseason finale last Saturday against the New York Jets. You can't blame the G-Men for keeping the 26-year-old signal-caller around with Jones coming off a torn ACL this year and with Lock hurting his hip in the preseason opener. The former undrafted free agent out of Illinois was forced into action last year because of Jones' injury, appearing in nine games (six starts) while throwing for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three picks on his 178 pass attempts. DeVito is off the fantasy radar.
Aug 27, 2024 5:17 PM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito could be released when rosters trim down on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. DeVito was sacked eight times during the Giants' preseason finale and completed just over 50 percent of his pass attempts, which is not a great result for someone fighting to keep their job. Rapoport notes that DeVito previously expressed confidence in being signed by another team if the Giants cut him, but that's not necessarily a given following Saturday's performance. Of course, New York will keep Daniel Jones and Drew Lock on their roster, so DeVito's stint in the Big Apple hangs in the balance. If the Giants opt to roster just two quarterbacks, DeVito will be looking for a new job.
Aug 25, 2024 9:20 AM EST
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito was called on to go the distance in Saturday's preseason finale. DeVito went 14-for-27 but gained only 103 yards through the air and took five rushes 48 yards in the loss to the Jets. All game long DeVito had to contend with an aggressive pass rush and with all of the Giants' starters sitting, the pocket was quick to break down and the Giants' down roster receivers could not get open. The result was DeVito getting sacked eight times, the last one derailing his two-minute drill at the end of the game. It was a mediocre day for the quarterback trying to prove his worth before rosters are cut to 53 players on Tuesday. Drew Lock's ailing hip might improve DeVito's odds but even if he makes the team he will have no fantasy value behind Lock and starter Daniel Jones.
