Who Should I Start? Tim Boyle or Trey Lance

The New York Giants are signing free-agent quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad on Tuesday to add more QB depth after he worked out for the team, according to a source. The move comes a day after the Giants announced that they are benching Daniel Jones in favor of Tommy Devito coming out of their bye week. Drew Lock will serve as the backup to DeVito, with Jones sliding all the way down to third on the depth chart. Boyle was with the Houston Texans during training camp before joining the Miami Dolphins, where he went 15-for-26 for 153 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in two games when Tua Tagovailoa was on Injured Reserve. The 30-year-old has completed only 61.7% of his passes with four TDs and 12 interceptions in 22 games (five starts) in his five-plus years in the NFL. It would take injuries to DeVito and Lock for Boyle to get any run in New York.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said after the 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night that he regrets not giving quarterback Trey Lance an opportunity to run the offense late in the blowout. "I think the one thing I should have done at the end, and I just didn't do, was put Trey in there. I could've gotten him a series. That's one thing that I would second-guess myself on," McCarthy said. The former third overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2021 has barely played in the NFL but should get more opportunities down the stretch in 2024 in a lost season for the Cowboys with Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the year. Lance, 24, went 4-for-6 for 21 yards and an interception late in the Week 10 blowout loss to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. If Dallas gets spanked again in Week 12 by the Commanders, Lance should get some more action.
