Who Should I Start? Alex McGough or Kyle Allen

The New York Giants worked out free-agent quarterback Alex McGough on Tuesday, according to NFL reporter Eric Edholm. McGough was a seventh-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018 out of Florida International University but has yet to log a regular-season stats in the NFL. It would be a surprise if the 29-year-old sees any playing time this year even if he signs with the G-Men, but the organization is doing its due diligence at the position after benching veteran quarterback Daniel Jones for Tommy Devito. This workout can be safely ignored for fantasy football purposes.

The Detroit Lions agreed to terms with veteran free-agent quarterback Kyle Allen on Thursday on an undisclosed deal, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen will head back to the NFC after spending the 2024 campaign as the No. 3 signal-caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers behind both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The 29-year-old will now join a Lions quarterback room that already includes starter Jared Goff, Hendon Hooker and Jake Fromm. Allen will likely be competing with Hooker for the No. 2 role in training camp this summer. The former undrafted free agent is now on his sixth different team as he heads into his eighth NFL season. Allen began his career in 2018 with the Carolina Panthers and has completed 62.7% of his 705 career attempts for 4,753 yards, 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
