Fantasy to Take on Malik Nabers, Tommy DeVito, Giants Amid Daniel Jones Benching Rumors | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the New York Giants benched quarterback Daniel Jones on Monday.

ESPNs Adam Schefter reported that backup Tommy DeVito, who started six games for New York in 2023, will take over at center in the future.

DeVito’s presence could result in an expanded role for rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers. The 21-year-old has emerged as an immediate contributor in fantasy football, but Jones’ involvement in the offense waned somewhat.

Nabers was targeted 52 times in the first four games of his career, compared to just 42 goals in his next four appearances.

DeVito is worth a look on waivers for fantasy managers in need of a quarterback after exceeding expectations as a rookie, especially since he’s available in 100 percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues (via FantasyPros).

The Giants could also lean heavily on the run game if DeVito steps into a first-string role, meaning rookie Tyrone Tracy should remain in the starting lineups after recording 314 rushing yards and two touchdowns in his past three appearances.
