New York Giants

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito will make his 2024 debut in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the team's Week 11 bye. DeVito inherits the starting role after the release of Daniel Jones and steps into a favorable matchup against the league's worst defense against fantasy quarterbacks. The Buccaneers have allowed 23.08 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs (32nd in the NFL) and rank 30th against the pass, giving up 264.1 passing yards and 20 touchdowns this season. While DeVito has yet to play in 2024, his 2023 stats include eight passing TDs and 195 rushing yards in nine games, showcasing dual-threat upside. Facing a struggling Bucs defense, DeVito is a high-risk but intriguing streaming option.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) has been removed from the final Week 12 injury report and will return on Sunday to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Slayton has officially cleared the league's concussion protocol coming out of the bye week and will play this weekend for the first time since suffering a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old could return to a substantial role, too, with rookie Malik Nabers (groin) being questionable to play against Tampa. However, the move to quarterback Tommy Devito as New York's starter could also limit the fantasy upside of all of the Giants' pass-catchers the rest of the season. The biggest beneficiary for the G-Men if Nabers is inactive on Sunday will likely be receiver Wan'Dale Robinson.

After coming down with a groin injury in Friday's practice, New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he told ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan in the locker room that he intends to play. While it's good news that the 21-year-old is feeling good enough to say he intends to play this weekend, the ultimate decision on Sunday will come down to the coaching staff. Nabers' fantasy value could also be taking a pretty big hit with quarterback Tommy Devito taking over under center moving forward. The bottom line is that fantasy managers need to have a plan in place in case Nabers is ruled out Sunday morning. In his last four games, Nabers has 26 catches on 42 targets for 221 yards and no scores. If he's unable to go or is limited, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (concussion) would see more work.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) was not seen during Friday's practice, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Duggan reported that the LSU standout is dealing with the same groin issue he had earlier in the season during Week 7. However, Nabers was able to suit up that week and did not miss any time due to it. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the weekend in case he faces another setback. The former first-round pick has shown elite upside throughout his rookie campaign, as he has averaged an impressive 17.4 PPR points per game while playing on a struggling offensive unit. If Nabers can suit up this weekend, fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in all formats as a low-end WR1.

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (back) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice after he went down as limited on the injury report on Wednesday. Johnson has been dealing with a back injury of late but didn't miss the Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany and had extra time to heal up during last week's bye. He had three catches for a season-high 51 yards and the first touchdown of his NFL career in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders. Johnson has some intriguing long-term upside for those in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he hasn't really moved the needle as more of a TE3 in his first year in the league. The 23-year-old's fantasy stock in 2024 will likely be negatively affected by quarterback Daniel Jones' benching, as well as the impending return of receiver Darius Slayton (concussion).
