Giants are releasing Daniel Jones.

Related Players: Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock

It looks like it's all up to DeVito and Lock to carry the team toward a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Neither one is particularly exciting in a bad Giants offense, but DeVito is a fine streamer for desperate managers in Week 12.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that the team would use its bye week to evaluate all options at quarterback and they’ve reportedly made their decision.

According to multiple reports, the Giants will bench Daniel Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Tommy DeVito is expected to take over as the team’s starter.

This news shouldn't come as a surprise as we detailed last week perhaps the biggest reason the Giants would bench Jones after their bye week - his $23 million injury guarantee. The story speculates no one is likely to trade for Jones after the season, and so it's expected he'll be released by the team at some point. The decision to start DeVito does make some sense as he was a popular player during his 15 minutes of fame last season, and he does at least bring some rushing upside in terms of fantasy. His only value for now comes in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues.

NFL insider Adam Schefter recently said his 'guess' is Daniel Jones has played his last down for the Giants.

The Giants have a bye this week, so it seems like as good a time as any to make a change. Schefter said Brian Daboll's tone changed this week with his comment about evaluating everything after being more firm in the past about Jones being the starter whenever he was asked. Jones has a $23 million injury guaranteed as well, according to Schefter. Schefter compared the Giants situation with Jones to when Russell Wilson, Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo all got benched during the season. Schefter added he would expect Lock to get the start when the Giants are back in Week 12.

Brian Daboll asked if Daniel Jones is still the starting quarterback. Won't say yes. Only that they are "evaluating things."

The Giants have a bye in Week 11 so they have some extra time to evaluate what they need to. At least in terms of fantasy, Lock probably doesn't offer much better upside for the Giants and their weapons, so a change at QB doesn't look like it will make a lot of difference for the offense and their weapons. However, it's possible the Giants do stick with Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers.

The 2-6 Giants are not yet making a quarterback change.

Coach Brian Daboll told reporters on Tuesday that Daniel Jones remains the starting quarterback going forward.

The Giants host the Commanders on Sunday. The story mentioned that at some point, the Giants will likely bench Jones in order to avoid his $23 million injury guarantee for 2025. They’re apparently not at that point yet, the story added. The other options behind Jones are Lock and DeVito.

Brian Daboll reiterated what he said in his post-game presser yesterday: Daniel Jones is the starting QB for Giants "going forward" to Pittsburgh and MNF.

Daboll went on to say in the post that Jones gives Giants their best chance, and the issues were collective, not solely on Jones. Lock didn't do much better, so Jones gets at least one more chance against a tough Steelers defense in Week 8.

Brian Daboll says Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback for the Giants.

The good news is if you're a Jones owner, he remains the starter. The bad news is we're only heading to Week 2 and the team needed to clarify this. Jones struggled in his return from the ACL injury and the hope is things will get better for him. The Giants seem to be willing to give Jones a bit of a leash here, but Lock lingers as a possible option if Jones continues to struggle as the weeks go on.

Giants QB Drew Lock is dealing with a bad bone contusion and strained oblique from last night’s preseason game. He’s expected to miss some time, but no surgery is required.

Coach Brian Daboll said NYG could potentially add another QB with Lock sidelined a bit.

This could indirectly give Daniel Jones a little extra job security. Jones remains an interesting deep pick in 2QB/Superflex leagues.

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones expects to be full-go at training camp next week. He underwent surgery on a torn ACL in November and was not fully cleared in the spring.

The story went on to say the Giants veterans report to training camp on Tuesday. Their first practice is scheduled for Wednesday. Jones, who was throwing and playing without any limitations with 500 kids at his first official football camp, did not suffer any setbacks this summer that would keep him from being ready for Day 1 of training camp. The Giants had him following a plan this spring with their sights set on full clearance by late July. Jones is not expected to start on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, the story added.

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.

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.
