Chubb has played just 35 and 30 percent of the snaps the last two weeks against the Chargers and Saints. It’s likely that the Chargers fade was game-script influenced after the Chargers took an early 20-3 lead. But Chubb is by no means a must-start on TNF against the Steelers, even with this proclamation saying he might play more in Week 12.

This belief supposedly led to Daboll naming Tommy DeVito the starter over Drew Lock. A two-year vet of Daboll’s offensive system, it would seem Daboll is hoping DeVito’s familiarity with the system can lead to a strong run down the stretch and his return in 2025 for what will undoubtedly be an offseason full of changes. Daboll started off strong out of the gate, going 9-7-1 in his first season at the helm. He managed just six wins last season and is currenlty sitting on two wins through the first 11 weeks of this year. He’ll look to turn things around starting in Week 12 against the Buccaneers, but Daboll may not be long for the Giants if he can’t string together a few wins and end the year on a high note during the final months of the season.

Lamb popped up on Saturday’s injury report with a back injury and was officially listed as questionable. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Lamb’s injury was “not of high concern,” setting the expectation for his WR1 to play on Monday night barring any setbacks. Slater’s latest report all but confirms that Lamb should be good to go for Monday’s in-state matchup, but he’ll be hard to trust as anything more than a WR2 after the debacle we witnessed in Week 10 with Cooper Rush under center.

It’s been a long time coming for Brooks, who was the first running back selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Panthers activated Brooks from the reserve/NFI list on November 6th but opted not to play him in Week 10. He had an extra week to recover during the team’s Week 11 bye, but is now expected to be active for Week 12’s game against the Chiefs. Brooks will eat into Chuba Hubbard’s workload going forward, but it’s hard to know how much of a dent he’ll make early on. Hubbard is fresh off signing a four-year contract extension with the Panthers, an indication that they still plan to utilize him at a high rate in the coming years. Fantasy managers who have stashed Brooks all season will soon be rewarded for their patience, but he’s best left on fantasy benches until we get a better sense on how the team plans to use him.

It was reported earlier that the move to DeVito was coming, but Daboll confirmed it during Monday’s press conference. The move to DeVito all but ends Jones’ time with the Giants, as the team now looks get through the season before heading into an offseason that’s expected to be full of changes. DeVito threw for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions last season, but took a whopping 37 sacks in his nine games played. DeVito is unlikely to be a noticeable upgrade over Jones, but the bar has been set so low, that it’s hard to imagine him being much worse.

Mooney exited in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Broncos and did not return to the field. The veteran receiver has turned in a solid season for the Falcons thus far, catching 48 passes for 711 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 14.8 YPR. The Falcons now enter their Week 12 bye, so it’s possible he’ll have enough time to recover in time for Week 13’s game against Chargers. We’ll likely have more information on his availability closer to next week.

Monday was a bonus practice for the Buccaneers, who are coming off their Week 11 bye. Per ESPN’s Jenna Laine, Evans told her that he “could have tried to push it for Week 10 against the 49ers” but also added that Week 12 has always been his target return date. The Buccaneers will release their first official injury report on Wednesday, but it sounds like Evans is trending toward a return for Week 12’s game against the Giants.

It was only a matter of time before the Giants officially pulled the plug on Jones, who has a $23 million injury guarantee the team would have to pay out next season if he were to be injured and unable to play. Head coach Brian Daboll appeared to have “fixed” Jones when he first arrived on the scene in 2022. That season, Jones threw for a career best 3205-15-5 while adding another 120-708-7 on the ground. He led the Giants to a 9-6-1 record that season and a playoff berth — their first since 2016. Jones was signed to a four-year, $160 million contract the following offseason, but it’s all been downhill from there. Jones has reverted back to his old ways, throwing for 2979-10-13 in his last 16 starts while going 3-13 as the starter. The Giants simply couldn’t allow this to continue moving forward, and will now give DeVito, a second-year UDFA who threw for 1101-8-3 as a rookie, the first crack at replacing Jones, bypassing Drew Lock, who was QB2 on the depth chart. The Giants have had the bye week to prepare for the switch, and will now return to the practice field this week to prep for Week 12’s game against the Buccaneers.

McConkey started hot with a 20-yard reception on the team’s opening drive but would be forced from the game after landing on his shoulder on the long reception. The team initially deemed him questionable to return before he made his way back onto the field in the second quarter. He made two key receptions on the team’s final possession to place them in position to sneak out of Week 11 with a win after squandering a 21-point third quarter lead, improving to 7-3 in the process. McConkey could once again be busy through the air against the pass-funnel Ravens in Week 12.

Dobbins found pay dirt at the end of both halves but saw uncharacteristically low volume, with the team attempting 36 passes to just 25 team rush attempts. Gus Edwards drew the start in name only, seeing the first carry of the game but finishing with half the opportunities of Dobbins in the last-minute win. The Chargers improve to 7-3 ahead of a Week 12 showdown with the Ravens at home, marking another opponent that is easier attacked through the air than on the ground.
