New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock, not Daniel Jones, will serve as the backup to new starter Tommy Devito for the team's Week 12 contest versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming out of their Week 11 bye, head coach Brian Daboll announced on Monday that the team is making the switch from Jones to DeVito as the starter under center. There's a chance that Jones never makes another start for the G-Men after another disastrous season in 2024. There's also a good chance that we see Lock take over for DeVito at some point before the end of the year. The 28-year-old former second-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2019 out of Missouri has gone 3-for-8 for six yards in two games for New York this year. He had a spirited performance in one of his stars for the Seahawks in 2023 but would be nothing more than a desperation low-end QB2 if he makes any starts for New York this year.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson fell victim to game script and an overall ineffectiveness on offense in Sunday's 38-6 road loss to the Broncos. The score was 21-6 at halftime and the Falcons were in catch-up mode, but with the score 38-6 after a Broncos TD early in the fourth quarter, the Falcons waived the white flag and backup Jase McClellan relieved Robinson for the rest of the game. The former first-round draft pick finished with 35 yards on 12 carries while adding four catches for 28 yards. Atlanta's only points came on two field goals, so none of the Falcon offensive weapons were able to find the end zone. The good news is that backup Tyler Allgeier did not eat into Robinson's workload at all, having not recorded a single carry in the contest, and the 22-year-old remained involved in the passing game, catching at least three passes for the eighth consecutive contest and the 10th time in 11 games. He'll look to rebound after the bye when the Falcons take on the Chargers at home in Week 13, although that will be a difficult task. The Chargers have allowed just one 100-yard rusher and only three rushing TDs all season.

Carolina Panthers second-year quarterback Bryce Young will start in Week 12 versus the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to head coach Dave Canales. The Panthers were non-committal on their QB situation heading into their bye in Week 10, but they will stick with last year's first overall pick instead of turning back to veteran Andy Dalton. The 23-year-old was benched for Dalton after his first two starts this year, but he has looked better while starting each of the team's last three games while leading Carolina to back-to-back victories. In his last three starts, Young has completed 62.5% of his 88 pass attempts for 521 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. He'll be looking to build on that in Week 12, but a breakout is unlikely to come against one of the defenses in the league this week as the Chiefs look to bounce back after their first loss in 2024.

Dynasty | The Giants are planning on benching Daniel Jones in favor of Tommy DeVito. Dynasty Analysis: This has been likely in the works for the better part of a week, but now it looks like it's becoming official. Jones has failed to live up to expectations and the Giants would be on the hook for a massive amount of salary should he be injured this season. New York knows they have a worse chance of winning with DeVito, but the idea of paying Jones for another year is just simply seen as a worse option. He's certainly taken his last snap as a Giant and will be looking for a new team next season. The Giants are now squarely in the mix to take a quarterback in this year's NFL Draft. Jones' dynasty value is going to sink even further this morning.

Dynasty | The Giants are turning to Tommy DeVito to replace the benched Daniel Jones instead of Drew Lock. Dynasty Analysis: The logic here seems pretty simple - Lock isn't going to be on the roster next season and the Giants want to see if DeVito could possibly become a bridge quarterback to a rookie they inevitably draft this Spring. It's also fair to wonder if they believe Lock gives them a better chance to win, something the team will want but management may not. The Giants are looking at a massive rebuild at this point and Lock just isn't in their plans. He's not roster-worthy in dynasty leagues at this point.

Dynasty | The Giants will turn to Tommy DeVito to replace the benched Daniel Jones. Dynasty Analysis: DeVito is getting the nod over Drew Lock as the Giants likely want to see if he could possibly serve as a bridge to a quarterback they inevitably draft next April. DeVito was decent as a starter the last time he was called upon and is likely worth a back-end roster stash in dynasty leagues, though his long-term value is clearly questionable.

Jacksonville Jaguars standout wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Jaguars are still assessing the injury, but Davis is expected to require surgery. During the surgery, doctors will determine if Davis needs a full repair or just a trim. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport writes that a full meniscus repair, which is often the route that is chosen, would cause Davis to miss the rest of the season. A trim of the meniscus would likely land him on Injured Reserve with a chance to return at the tail end of the year. Either way, the 25-year-old is going to miss at least significant time, and he probably isn't worth stashing in 12-team fantasy leagues in the meantime. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) already out for the year, rookie Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington and tight end Evan Engram figure to be the Jags' top pass-catchers.

The early prognosis on Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is that the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 11 blowout loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday is not serious, according to a source. Mooney could go for some testing on Monday, but the 27-year-old's injury comes at a good time with the Falcons heading into their bye in Week 12. Barring a setback with his hamstring once he resumes practicing, Mooney should have a good shot to be available for the team's Week 13 game on Dec. 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Before leaving on Sunday, Mooney caught two of four targets for only 27 yards on a day in which the Broncos defense completely shut down Atlanta's offense. Things probably won't get any easier for Mooney and the Falcons offense coming out of their bye in Week 13 against a stout Chargers D.

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit bounced back nicely in Week 11 against the visiting Atlanta Falcons after failing to record a takeaway in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Not only did Denver's defense lock down the Falcons offense and keep them out of the end zone in the 38-6 victory, but they picked off quarterback Kirk Cousins and were able to sack him three times for a loss of 21 yards -- they added another sack in the fourth quarter when Atlanta sat Cousins down in favor of rookie first-rounder Michael Penix Jr. In addition, they held star running back Bijan Robinson to only 35 rushing yards (2.9 yards per carry) in a dominant performance. Denver's D has proven to be a top-five unit in the NFL through the first 11 weeks of the season, and they'll be a must-start, high-end defense for Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders next Sunday.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz only attempted one field goal in Week 11 on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons but was able to stay busy with extra-point attempts in the 38-6 rout to finish as a top-12 fantasy kicker for the week. One week after missing both of his field-goal tries -- the potential game-winner was blocked at the end of regulation against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10 -- Lutz made his only field-goal attempt (from 45 yards out) and was successful on all five of his extra points against the Falcons. The 30-year-old has been one of the most accurate kickers in the league in 2024 (86.4% success rate) and ranks eighth among all kickers in total fantasy points after 11 weeks. When you add a rising Broncos offense under impressive rookie QB Bo Nix, Lutz's fantasy stock as a reliable streamer will continue in Week 12 against the floundering Las Vegas Raiders.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin found paydirt for the second time in his career in the 38-6 beatdown of the visiting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11 action, catching both of his targets on the day for 15 yards and the score. Franklin was one of four pass-catchers for the Broncos to haul in touchdown passes against a soft Falcons secondary to help the team get back over .500 at 6-5. His touchdown was his first since the Week 5 loss to the Chargers. The 21-year-old rookie out of Oregon has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix from their time together in college, but Franklin, who is rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues, just isn't seeing enough volume to be a weekly starting option for fantasy managers. Franklin has only gone over two receptions once in 10 games and still hasn't eclipsed 50 receiving yards in 2024.

Denver Broncos tight end Nate Adkins, the team's backup TE, came out of nowhere in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday to catch his second touchdown pass of the year. In the 38-6 blowout victory, Adkins caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown score that put the Broncos on the scoreboard early in the first quarter. They would never look back, with rookie quarterback Bo Nix throwing for over 300 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Adkins' first touchdown of the year came in the Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 25-year-old shouldn't be a waiver-wire consideration at all this upcoming week after his second score, as he now has only six receptions for 34 yards and two TDs on seven targets in 11 games in 2024. There's a good chance we won't hear from the second-year TE again.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele quietly had a strong performance in the 38-6 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11, although he wasn't on the receiving end of one of rookie quarterback Bo Nix's career-high four touchdown passes. Vele finished with four receptions on five targets for 66 receiving yards. Both his targets and yards were second on the team behind Courtland Sutton. The 26-year-old seventh-rounder out of Utah has had some impressive moments in his first NFL season, and while his 66 yards were his second-highest yardage total of the year, he's also failed to reach 40 yards in five of his seven games. Vele will continue to develop alongside Nix but can't realistically be trusted in starting fantasy lineups as anything more than a boom/bust WR5/flex in deeper leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk saw the field on Sunday but didn't show up in the box score. During the 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Polk saw 41% of the offensive snaps but didn't see a single target. This marks his first game with zero targets and his third with zero receptions. He came into his rookie season with some higher expectations but currently sits behind Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte in terms of priority in the passing game. The Patriots head to Miami to take on the Dolphins in Week 12.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had a quiet Sunday afternoon in the team's 28-27 win over the New York Jets. The rookie was able to catch one of his two targets for a big gain of 33 yards and received one carry for two yards. The Colts' offense was able to outduel the Jets in a big way as Anthony Richardson threw 20-for-30 with 272 yards. Mitchell just hasn't built consistent chemistry and remains lower in the pecking order compared to Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce. He'll look to break off some big plays against a tough Detroit Lions defense in Week 12.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen was firmly in the backup role during the Week 11 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He finished with two carries for six yards and didn't see any targets in the passing game. In comparison, Breece Hall received 16 carries and seven targets. The biggest hit to Allen's fantasy value was always the amount of work Hall receives, and when he's rolling, Allen will disappear. The Jets will go up against a vulnerable run defense in the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12, so Allen may get some more work if they get a lead early on.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been operating as the team's deep threat this year but wasn't able to find much open field against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday's loss. The Minnesota product finished with two receptions for 30 yards on five targets. The passing game went stale as Lamar Jackson completed under 50% of his throws, and Bateman couldn't get open down the field. The offense will look to bounce back in a big way against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night in Week 12.

According to agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, cornerback Caleb Farley is moving up to the Carolina Panthers active roster for the long term. Farley has bounced back and forth between the team's practice squad and active roster, as he's appeared in three games for them this season. He was the 22nd overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and played two seasons with the Tennessee Titans before two separate stints on the IR and one season on the PUP list. So far this season, he's played 29 snaps on defense and 23 on special teams.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito will return under center after Daniel Jones has been benched coming out of the team's bye week. The Giants sit at 2-8 which is the worst record in the entire NFC through almost 11 weeks. To make matters worse, they've scored the least amount of points in the NFL with 156. Enter Tommy Cutlets, who captured a lot of hearts last season as an underdog, heartwarming story. He guided the Giants to a 3-3 record during his starts while accumulating 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions on a 64.0% completion percentage along with 195 yards and another score on 36 attempts.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been underwhelming, to say the least, after receiving his big contract extension. With the team sitting at 2-8 coming out of the bye week, they have decided to bench their starting quarterback and move in a different direction. Through 10 starts this year, Jones has amassed 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions on a 63.3% completion percentage. He also registered a 79.4 passer rating and was sacked 29 times, which is fifth-most in the league. The bad news for the Giants is that Jones isn't set to become a free agent until 2027.
