As expected, Daniel Jones has played at a below average level for most of his sixth season as the Giants’ starting quarterback. Things really hit the wall last week in Munich as the Giants dropped their fifth-straight game to the lowly Panthers with Jones contributing two interceptions and no passing touchdowns in the losing effort. The lack of success has led to the possibility of backup QB Drew Lock stepping in the rest of the way, as the Giants would owe Jones a $23M injury guarantee should he end up being hurt over the course of New York’s final seven games of the season. New York has its bye this week, but there certainly seems to be a chance that we’ve seen the last of Daniel Jones in 2024 – and in a Giants uniform. Meanwhile in Las Vegas, Desmond Ridder appears primed to take up the mantle as the Raiders’ starting quarterback in Week 11 against the Dolphins. While he shouldn’t be added anywhere besides the deepest superflex leagues, Ridder was able to give the Raiders at least a heartbeat in limited action in Week 9 against the Bengals. The upside for the Raiders’ top weapons in Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers remains low, but change under center can’t be a bad thing at this point with Gardner Minshew striking out hard and Aidan O’Connell remaining sidelined.
