New York Giants DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (back) does not appear on the team's official injury report prior to their Thanksgiving Day clash against the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie from Penn State has been more involved as the season progressed, catching his first NFL touchdown in Week 9 and drawing six targets in each of his past three games. He should continue to play the majority of snaps for New York, which is likely to see yet another quarterback change with Tommy Devito (forearm) unlikely to play. Quarterback Drew Lock would be in line to start if DeVito cannot play.

Updating a previous report, New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) is considered a long shot to be able to play on Thanksgiving on Thursday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys after sitting out Wednesday's walkthrough practice, according to a source. It puts backup Drew Lock in line to start his first game of the year after the Giants waived Daniel Jones last Friday. DeVito is dealing with a right-forearm injury and is undergoing further evaluation. DeVito predictably fell flat leading the offense in the 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, so if Lock is an improvement in Week 13 versus Dallas, he could take over the starting gig for the G-Men the rest of the way in 2024. The 28-year-old Lock completed his only pass attempt for three yards last Sunday against Tampa and will now be in play as a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues this week against Dallas.

The New York Giants are listing quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) as questionable for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys due to a right-forearm injury. DeVito wasn't even listed on the injury report on Monday before being limited in Tuesday's walkthrough. The 26-year-old made his first start of the year in the 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12 and predictably struggled to move the offense consistently. He went 21-for-31 for 189 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. DeVito probably won't be 100% if he plays, making him an even less attractive low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues. If DeVito is ruled out, Drew Lock would make his first start of the year. Either way, the Cowboys defense/special teams unit is certainly worth a play in Week 13 with questions surrounding New York's QB situation.

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (back) was listed as limited for the second straight day on Tuesday on the team's estimated practice report. The Giants held a walkthrough practice, so Johnson's participation is a projection. New York plays the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday on Thanksgiving on a short week, so it's likely they are giving the 23-year-old rookie a little rest as he battles through a back injury. It's hard to trust any of the Giants' pass-catchers with quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) now running the offense, but Johnson has seen his role as a receiver grow lately and is at least worth a look as a TE2 sleeper in deeper leagues if he's active against Dallas. He's been targeted at least six times the last three games and has translated that into 10 receptions for 127 yards and one touchdown.

Former Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich was claimed off waivers on Tuesday by the New York Giants, according to a source. Dulcich caught just five of 12 targets for 28 yards and no touchdowns in the first four games this year but has been a healthy scratch for Denver the last eight games. He'll now get a fresh start in the Big Apple and will serve as depth at the position behind rookie Theo Johnson (back), Chris Manhertz and Daniel Bellinger. The 24-year-old probably will not be active for the team's Thanksgiving game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. When Dulcich gets himself familiarized with the Giants' offense, he'll have a tough time finding snaps for the rest of the 2024 season. Injuries limited him in his first two years with the Broncos and he caught 41 of 71 targets for 464 yards and two touchdowns in his 16 games (10 starts) with the team.
