Quarterback

Tommy DeVito: DeVito has been usable for fantasy the past two weeks and then some.

After a QB17 (13.5 points) scoring week in Week 10 fueled by 41 yards rushing and a garbage-time touchdown pass, DeVito was QB5 (22.5 points) last week, completing 18-of-26 (69.2%) passes for 246 yards (9.5 Y/A) and three touchdowns.

It was the first time that a Giants quarterback threw three touchdown passes in a game since 2019.

While Sunday was an example of never underestimating how bad the Washington pass defense is, through two starts DeVito has shown more fantasy viability than some full-season starters have all season.

We are not going to go wild with DeVito here, but he has shown some floor appeal for 2QB gamers.

New England is blitzing 33.9% of the time (seventh) and playing man coverage on a league-high 41.4% of passing plays.

When blitzed, DeVito has a 52.1 rating, ahead of only Bryce Young (34.6) over the past three weeks.

Against the blitz, DeVito has completed 10-of-20 passes for 2.7 yards per attempt while taking 10 sacks.

Against man coverage, DeVito has completed 18-of-30 (60.0%) passes for just 6.0 Y/A but does have four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
