Giants coach Brian Daboll announced rookie Tommy DeVito will start at QB again Sunday against Washington.

Related Players: Matt Barkley

DeVito had one of the worst starts we will see in the NFL last week, failing to hit 100 yards passing on 3.2 yards per attempt with an aDOT of 6.0. He and the Giants offense have nowhere to go but up.

Texans WR Nico Collins and RB Dameon Pierce are both out on Sunday against the Bengals.

Related Players: Devin Singletary, Mike Boone, Tank Dell, Noah Brown, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie

Singletary had the backfield mostly to himself last week and put forth a miserable performance, which makes him a stay-away for all but the most desperate fantasy managers ahead of this Week 10 game against the Bengals.

Nico Collins is a new name on the injury report, which is a bummer, as he has a surprising 36-631-4 stat line on the year. With him missing this matchup, Dell and Brown would figure to get the biggest increase in target share.

The Giants are signing QB Matt Barkley from the practice squad to the active roster, source said. No surprise. He’ll take Daniel Jones’ roster spot as Jones heads to Injured Reserve.

DeVito still looks like he'll be the short-term starter, but that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Barkley could end up with the job at some point this season.

The Giants signed QB Jacob Eason and RB Hassan Hall to the practice squad.

Normally a practice squad QB signing isn't always fantasy-worthy news, but considering DeVito and Barkley are the QBs ahead of Eason, who knows what could happen for the rest of the season.

An MRI confirmed the Giants’ fears: QB Daniel Jones suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, per coach Brian Daboll.

Taylor is currently on IR with a rib injury and will miss at least three more weeks. So, the Giants will go with either DeVito or Barkley, or, it's possible they start - or eventually start - another QB who is not yet on the team. DeVito is likely to get the start in Week 10 until the Giants can figure out this mess. DeVito wasn't impressive in his debut when Taylor went down, throwing for -1 yard on seven attempts. He did rush for a TD. DeVito did throw for 175 yards and a TD this past week after Jones went down, but added two INTs in the loss.

Pete Carroll reiterated that the loss “is not on one guy,” but the two turnovers make eight in the last four games for Geno Smith and Carroll was asked about his level of concern about that run.

“I’m concerned about that,” Carroll said. “The one, on the fumble, that’s a pass-rush deal. The interception, he threw it up, and the guy who’s been making all the interceptions made another one. But that’s not the direction for us to be going. Up until this game, it took us to first place, whatever the heck we’ve been doing. We didn’t play like a first place team today. With those kind of turnovers, it’s really hard to win.”

As the story summed up, the loss dropped the Seahawks to 5-3, which puts them back into a tie with the 49ers at the top of the NFC West. They’ll face the Commanders and Rams before a three-game run that features two games against the Niners sandwiched around a matchup with Dallas. Lock is the backup to Smith.

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is believed to have suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

Just an absolute nightmare of a season for Daniel Jones and the Giants. Jones had just returned from a neck injury and now he gets this. Tommy DeVito is now the man for the time being as Tyrod Taylor was already placed on injured reserve this weekend. Unless the Giants make a move to Matt Barkley, who was recently signed to the practice squad. The Giants just lost by 24 to a Raiders team that cleaned house and had former Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce as their interim head coach. It's a Giant mess now at 2-7.

Texans running back Dameon Pierce not practicing for third day in a row due to ankle injury suffered in fourth quarter against Panthers and he's not expected to play Sunday against Buccaneers Devin Singletary has run with first offense all week and is prepping to start.

Related Players: Mike Boone, Dare Ogunbowale

Singletary has actually outperformed Pierce on a per-carry basis 3.0-to-3.7 but the running game has been less than inspiring to this point in the season. Pierce should take the majority of the touches in Week 9, which makes him an RB2 option.

Giants’ TE Darren Waller will miss Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders due to his hamstring injury.

Related Players: Daniel Bellinger

Daniel Bellinger is a real potential replacement for any time that Waller misses after he had a few splashes of production during his rookie year prior to an eye injury. This week's tight end position isn't quite desperate enough to consider him, but next week could be a different story.
