Who Should I Start? Skylar Thompson or Tommy DeVito

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson (hamstring) was robbed on Friday night in Dublin, Ireland. Pelissero noted that the quarterback suffered minor injuries but is "ok" and is with the team. Thompson is currently on the injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Steelers Spokesman Burt Lauten said, "We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson on Friday night in Dublin. We will have no further comment at this time as we are working with NFL security to gather more information regarding the incident." The 28-year-old spent the 2024 season with the Miami Dolphins and went 21-for-33 with 187 passing yards and no passing scores or interceptions. He will remain the team's No. 3 QB when activated from IR behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

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.
