Daniel Jones' Role in Jeopardy After Bust Performance vs. Jaguars

Sunday, November 1, 11:43 AM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said he is evaluating whether Daniel Jones will remain the team's starting quarterback, the Athletic's James Boyd reported via the X platform following Indianapolis ' 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones completed 19 of 28 passes for 144 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and was sacked three times before exiting Sunday's game in favor of beleaguered backup QB Anthony Richard Sr. The 29-year-old former first-round draft pick has a career-low 59.6% completion rate for 1,398 yards with four touchdowns and seven interceptions through seven games this season, while also being sacked 19 times. Sunday's performance was further confirmation that fantasy managers should continue keeping Jones off their rosters.

J.J. McCarthy Worth a Speculative Waiver Addition

Tuesday, October 27, 10:21 AM

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy was written off in Minnesota and traded for a measly 2027 fifth-round pick. That trade looks like a bargain. Since joining the Giants, he's thrown for 495 yards on just 49 throws, an absurd 10.1 yards per attempt. He threw for 243 yards in late relief against New Orleans in Week 6 and 252 yards against Houston in Week 7. So far, his stats have been excellent, and his game tape may be even more impressive. However, you should still approach him with some caution. After 178 yards in the first half against Houston, he only managed 65 in the second half. All that yardage and still only one TD. Making matters worse, the Giants brought in Jameis Winston for four short-yardage sneaks, including a touchdown, taking away another potential source of fantasy points. With the Giants on a bye in Week 8, McCarthy is a good speculative addition in deeper and superflex leagues. Maybe Minnesota just gave up on him too quickly, or maybe this run won't continue. Either way, he's worth a bench spot to see what happens.
