Who Should I Start? Drew Lock or Gardner Minshew

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock, not Daniel Jones, will serve as the backup to new starter Tommy Devito for the team's Week 12 contest versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming out of their Week 11 bye, head coach Brian Daboll announced on Monday that the team is making the switch from Jones to DeVito as the starter under center. There's a chance that Jones never makes another start for the G-Men after another disastrous season in 2024. There's also a good chance that we see Lock take over for DeVito at some point before the end of the year. The 28-year-old former second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2019 out of Missouri has gone 3-for-8 for six yards in two games for New York this year. He had a spirited performance in one of his stars for the Seahawks in 2023 but would be nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 if he makes any starts for New York this year.

Per head coach Antonio Pierce, the Las Vegas Raiders are sticking with quarterback Gardner Minshew for at least one more week. Paul Gutierrez of ESPN reported the news. The 28-year-old has been fine this season, albeit unspectacular, as the Raiders attempt to figure out their long-term quarterback solution. Las Vegas will line up against the Denver Broncos this Sunday in a divisional clash, and it could be Minshew's last week as the starter, with QB Aidan O'Connell (thumb) eligible to return from IR the following week. It will be interesting to see if AOC slots back in as the team's starter upon his return, but Minshew will get one more crack at the starting job against a stout Denver Broncos defense at home in Week 12.
