Who Should I Start? Jake Haener or Tommy DeVito

Saturday, September 6, 6:23 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener was cut by the organization on Saturday. Haener was waived by the team last week after falling behind Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough on the depth chart. Haener was brought back on the practice squad, but released again in order to sign defensive end Fadil Diggs. It's unclear if the Saints plan to bring back Haener again. He completed 18-of-39 passing attempts for 226 yards with one touchdown and one interception during the 2024 campaign. The 26-year-old might return to the Saints again if he clears waivers, but isn't worth rostering in fantasy formats.

The New England Patriots claimed quarterback Tommy DeVito off waivers on Wednesday from the New York Giants, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Giants didn't have a need for DeVito any longer after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and trading up to draft rookie Jaxson Dart in the first round in April. The 27-year-old will now head to the AFC East, where he'll serve as the QB3 behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. DeVito went undrafted out of college before joining the Giants and making his NFL debut in 2023, when he started six games. In his two NFL seasons with the G-Men, DeVito has completed 65.3 percent of his 222 pass attempts for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. He is well off the fantasy radar but could push Dobbs for QB2 duties during the year behind Maye.
