Giants moved Kyle Lauletta up to QB2 for Week 13

Dec 03, 2018

Pat Shurmur moved Kyle Lauletta up to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart and activated him Sunday ahead of 31-year-old veteran Alex Tanney, which seems like an indication the fourth-round pick is closer to being ready to go into a game and the Giants are getting more comfortable with the idea.

Fantasy Impact:

The story speculated the Giants could use the Patrick Mahomes approach, and at least start Lauletta in Week 17 like the Chiefs did with Mahomes last year in Week 17. They eventually traded Alex Smith. The Giants are mathematically alive in the NFC East, so until they are eliminated the team is expected to stick with Manning at QB, according to the story. But the move to QB2 does seem to indicate the Giants may want to get a look at Lauletta before the season is over - much like the Chiefs did with Mahomes.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
