Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Jaylen Waddle

Tuesday, October 29, 12:43 PM

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed quarterback Daniel Jones will remain the team's starter moving forward. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported the news. Jones had another rough go in the team's 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, falling to 2-6 as a starter in 2024. It was the fifth outing this season that he failed to notch a touchdown pass, and the Giants now sit at the bottom of the NFC East's standings. The team has scored 117 total points through eight weeks of action, by far the fewest of their divisional opponents (no other NFC East squad has less than 150[Dallas]). Still, despite his lackluster performance thus far, Daboll stays true to his sixth-year QB. The former Duke Blue Devil will get an easier matchup in Week 9 when the team hosts the visiting Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, Waddle came into this game with WR2 expectations and did not deliver. The good news is that the offense looked exponentially better than the previous four weeks, scoring their highest total of the season. Waddle has yet to find the end zone and hasn't topped 50 yards since Week 1. However, better days are ahead for Waddle, with Miami's schedule presenting several favorable offensive matchups. Next week's matchup against the Buffalo Bills will be one of their toughest tests in the back half of the 2024 season.
