Tommy DeVito DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (concussion) was participating in drills at practice on Wednesday, so he's on track to clear the league's concussion protocol by Sunday in order to serve as the backup to starter Drew Lock in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons. DeVito made the first start after the team parted ways with Daniel Jones in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but a right-forearm injury forced him into a backup role the following two weeks before he made his second start in place of the injured Lock in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old then suffered a concussion on Sunday, but he appears to be making good progress and could be cleared for a backup role this weekend. The second-year signal-caller underwhelmed in his two starts before getting hurt and will be New York's backup as long as Lock can remain healthy through the final three weeks.UPDATE: DeVito was limited on Wednesday.

According to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team, New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game with a concussion. DeVito sustained this injury during the second quarter. As a result, veteran Tim Boyle will get the start for the remainder of the game. Before his early exit, DeVito went 10-for-13 with 68 yards. He was sacked two times and did not get on the scoresheet. Fantasy managers in Superflex formats should monitor DeVito's status after today's game as he may miss an extended period of time.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito will return as QB1 in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens after a brief absence due to injury (forearm). In his lone start of the season back in Week 12, DeVito posted a modest 10.76 fantasy points with 189 passing yards, 32 rushing yards, and no touchdowns, showcasing limited upside. The matchup against Baltimore presents a mixed bag for the young signal-caller: while the Ravens rank last in passing defense, allowing 264.9 yards per game and 23 touchdowns on the season, they've limited quarterbacks to just 14.41 fantasy points per game over the past four weeks, the third-lowest mark in the league. DeVito's ceiling is capped by Baltimore's strong pass rush (they will pin their ears back if they get a big lead) and the Giants' struggling offensive line, which surrendered four sacks in his prior start. Proceed with caution in fantasy formats.
