Who Should I Start? Matt Barkley or Phillip Dorsett II

Wednesday, November 8, 12:17 PM

The New York Giants signed quarterback Matt Barkley from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster on Wednesday. Daniel Jones (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the team also placed veteran Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on Injured Reserve last weekend. Taylor will miss at least the next three games, but there's a chance he may not play again this year. The G-Men are moving forward with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito under center for the time being, but the 33-year-old Barkley could eventually be making starts for the Giants before the season is over. It's a dire QB situation for New York to be in, and it will be a major downgrade for all of their offensive weapons in fantasy, mainly running back Saquon Barkley.

The Atlanta Falcons released wide receiver Phillip Dorsett on Monday, according to the team's official website. Dorsett's roster spot will go to Caleb Johnson, who recently inked a deal with Atlanta. The veteran receiver signed a futures deal with the Falcons earlier this offseason, but now he's off the team before even participating in camp. Dorsett hasn't played an NFL snap since 2023, when he appeared in two games for Denver. As a Bronco, he commanded three targets but didn't catch a pass. Dorsett's experience and veteran leadership could land him a deal somewhere else, but he still faces an uphill battle to earn a roster spot.
