Who Should I Start? Sean Clifford or Tommy Devito

Monday, September 9, 9:54 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Sean Clifford is set to be the backup option for the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. It was uncertain who was going to start for the Packers with Jordan Love (ankle) facing a multiple week absence. Head coach Matt LaFleur cleared that up on Monday by naming Malik Willis the starter for Week 2. He also mentioned that Clifford is set to back him up, so he'll be elevated from the practice squad. Normally, someone becoming the backup isn't noteworthy, but this case is a little different. Willis has only been with the Packers for a few weeks and has yet to prove himself at the professional level. Clifford has been with the Packers for a full season and he should know the offensive scheme fairly well. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Packers turn to Clifford if Willis fails to impress them. Fantasy managers don't need to be jumping at the waiver wire to grab the former fifth-round pick. However, it wouldn't be shocking if Clifford does get snaps at some point in the next few weeks. Neither quarterback is going to be a viable fantasy option in most formats.

ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan reports that the New York Giants will keep three quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster to begin the 2024 regular season, according to head coach Brian Daboll. It means that QB Tommy Devito will stick on the roster behind starter Daniel Jones and backup Drew Lock. DeVito has made the team after going 14-for-27 for 103 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the preseason finale last Saturday against the New York Jets. You can't blame the G-Men for keeping the 26-year-old signal-caller around with Jones coming off a torn ACL this year and with Lock hurting his hip in the preseason opener. The former undrafted free agent out of Illinois was forced into action last year because of Jones' injury, appearing in nine games (six starts) while throwing for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three picks on his 178 pass attempts. DeVito is off the fantasy radar.
