Giants QB Daniel Jones has "no doubt" he'll be ready for Week 1

May 23, 2024

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is already back on the field practicing during OTAs and has no doubt he will be ready for Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, despite tearing the ACL in his right knee late last year.

Jones showed no ill effects while participating in individual and 7-on-7 drills Thursday, just six months after injuring that knee in a November loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Related Players: Drew Lock, Tommy DeVito

Fantasy Impact:

Jones -and the entire Giants offense- had an incredibly disappointing 2023. Of five complete games in which he attempted at least 20 pass attempts, he threw a touchdown in only one. Though he did show his ceiling in Week 2 when he threw his two '23 touchdowns and scored 30+ fantasy points. He is an interesting deep SuperFlex option with a bona fide WR1 (Malik Nabers) on the roster.

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.

The Lions ruled out TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) for Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville.

Related Players: Brock Wright, Shane Zylstra

Fantasy Impact:

LaPorta's mediocre sophomore season could have gotten a great boost here against a soft Jaguars defense, but no luck. Brock Wright is an interesting "close your eyes and click" option for very deep leagues.
