Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock will draw the start in Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys with Tommy Devito (forearm) inactive. Lock has not started an NFL game since last season with Seattle, but that streak will end on Thursday as he and the Giants face the Cowboys in a divisional showdown. The 28-year-old could be capable of supporting solid fantasy performances from players like Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Tyrone Tracy Jr., among others. Lock himself is best viewed as a high-end fantasy QB3 this week.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) is expected to be inactive for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Drew Lock will start at quarterback in DeVito's absence. The Giants are suddenly onto their third quarterback in three weeks, rotating through Daniel Jones (now with the Minnesota Vikings), DeVito, and Lock. Although there have been numerous conflicting reports about DeVito's injury status, fantasy managers can appreciate that we now have some clarification from Schefter. Assuming Lock is confirmed as the starter, he'll rank as a fantasy QB3 while keeping Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the WR2 and RB2 tiers, respectively.

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock might make his first start of the 2024 season in Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, stepping in for an injured Tommy Devito. Lock, who saw limited action this year (four completions on eight attempts for just nine yards), faces a Dallas defense ranked 28th against fantasy quarterbacks, allowing 20.47 FPPG. Despite Lock's limited experience this season, his 2023 campaign with Seattlewhere he posted a 63.2% completion rate, three touchdowns, and 17.22 FPPGshows he has upside in favorable matchups. The Cowboys have given up 15 passing touchdowns and allow 214.7 passing yards per game.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) was listed as a full participant in the first practice of Week 13 on Wednesday. Fant also practiced in full last Friday but was ultimately held out of the Week 12 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. He's missed the last three games due to a groin injury that he suffered the day before Halloween, but two straight full practices suggests that he'll be able to return this weekend as the team faces the New York Jets on the road on Sunday. The 27-year-old figures to return to TE1 duties for the Seahawks when he's back, pushing rookie AJ Barner back to a backup role. Before his injury, Fant had caught 27 of his 32 targets for only 285 yards and no touchdowns in eight games. That hasn't made him very attractive in fantasy, but Fant could immediately jump into a bigger role this Sunday if receivers DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) cannot play.

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock took some first-team reps in Tuesday's practice, which is unusual for a QB2 in Brian Daboll's system. Starting Tommy Devito is dealing with an arm ailment but is expected to start on Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys. However, the second-year signal-caller threw for just 189 yards and led the Giants to seven points against the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in Week 13, so another lackluster performance could result in Lock taking over the QB1 duties. That said, fantasy managers in two-QB and Superflex leagues should consider stashing Lock in case he's called into action. He has limited upside in single-QB formats, but any starter has value in the aforementioned league setups.
