It was a pathetic day for the Giants' offense with Tommy DeVito making his 2024 starting debut. He targeted Nabers zero times before halftime, making Nabers' 6/64 statline something of a miracle. Nabers was, predictably, steamed in the locker room after the fact. Maybe the G-Men will think twice about going with DeVito over Drew Lock. They want to tank, but they also don't want to waste six games of development for players like Nabers and Theo Johnson. Producing WR3 statlines ever since his concussion, Nabers still belongs in the WR2 mix for Week 13 because of the Giants' soft Cowboys matchup.
Don't let the reasonably decent statline fool you, this was an atrocious effort in DeVito's first start of 2024. He entered halftime a pathetic 3-of-5 for 31 yards, finding Malik Nabers zero times in the process. He only then "kicked into gear" with the Bucs leading 23-0. DeVito was walloped -- and we do mean walloped -- for "just" four sacks, but it felt like twice that amount. A fourth quarter end zone spearing left DeVito ailing enough to miss a snap. He then returned after a solitary Drew Lock check down. The G-Men were not remotely competitive with DeVito starting in place of Daniel Jones, but competing won't be the stretch-run point. Even the lowly Cowboys will probably tee off on DeVito on Thanksgiving afternoon in Dallas.
Lock was the No. 2 behind Jones all season, but New York elevated DeVito from third-string to QB1
Daniel Jones fell to fourth on the depth chart this week.
