Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones was the No. 4 QB during individual hand-off drills at practice on Wednesday.

Jones was working behind Tommy DeVito, Drew Lock and recently signed Tim Boyle. He is unlikely to take another snap for the Giants this season.

The Giants are benching QB Daniel Jones heading into Week 12.

The Giants took their bye week to make a decision on who would be the starting quarterback moving forward. While the team has not announced if Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito will take over, we now know Jones will head to the bench. With a 2-8 record, the Giants are protecting themselves from the $23 million injury guarantee in Jones’ contract.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll when asked if QB Daniel Jones is still the starter said the team is "evaluating things."

Daboll's non-committal approach is telling as coaches rarely leave the door open unless there is a realistic chance that a change could be made at the top. Drew Lock signed with New York in the offseason and there were some reports he was brought in to compete for the job, but the Giants' staff stuck by Jones and reaffirmed his pole position heading into the year. With Jones' contract boasting injury guarantees, it has been speculated for a while that New York could opt to sit him late to avoid it conveying, so this is a situation to monitor closely. The Giants have an out on Jones' deal after the 2024 season.

Daniel Jones completed 22-of-37 passes for 190 yards and two interceptions in the Giants 20-17 loss to Carolina.

Jones did add 26 rushing yards and one touchdown on seven rushing attempts. He struggled to find receivers consistently and missed multiple open receivers downfield. With their current record, the Giants could decide to turn the offense over to Drew Lock with the team heading into their bye week.

Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback for the Giants moving forward and will receive first-team reps, according to head coach Brian Daboll.

Fantasy Impact

Jones actually had a decent game from an accuracy and touchdown perspective against Washington, though his yardage was a bit lacking. His rushing production really helped out his fantasy day, but Giants fans are growing tired of Jones's inability to win games. The front office seems to have his back, for now, so it looks like the status quo in New York will be maintained for at least one more week.
