Giants HC Pat Shurmur doesn't commit to Eli Manning as starting QB for Week 3

Sep 16, 2019

After Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that the postgame press conference was not the place to have a conversation about whether to start Daniel Jones at quarterback.

That conversation is coming, though. Shurmur said at his Monday press conference that Eli Manning has been the team’s starter to this point, but stopped short of naming the veteran the starter for their Week Three game against the Buccaneers.

“We’re gonna talk about everything moving forward. I think that’s fair at this point,” Shurmur said, via Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “To this point what we’ve done hasn’t been good enough.”

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, the Giants biggest problem may be on defense, and that won't go away with a QB change. However it doesn't mean it should prevent the team from changing either. Jones did look good in the preseason and if things continue at this pace, a change isn't far away, even if it doesn't happen this week.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
