G-men continue spiral with Drew Lock under center
The Giants continue to struggle with Drew Lock as their starting quarterback. Lock threw 49 passes on Sunday versus the Saints, but completed just 21 for 227 yards, zero TDs and one INT. He rushed five times for 59 yards, finishing as the QB14 in fantasy scoring on the week. Malik Nabers returned a floor fantasy performance, catching five of his 10 targets for 79 yards. He has not scored a touchdown since Week 3. Wan’Dale Robinson was the Giants’ target leader with 11, but caught just four for 38 yards. Robinson has not scored since Week 5.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. dominated the backfield touches against the Saints, rushing 16 times for 45 yards and a score, and caught five of 10 targets for 38 yards. Devin Singletary has taken a backseat role, taking just two carries for eight yards in this one. Tracy Jr. is the most startable Giants asset purely due to volume and the fact the passing game is slowed by poor quarterback play.

Temper expectations for Giants offensive weapons with Drew Lock under center
The Giants season is in disarray as the team is 2-10 and starting Drew Lock for a second straight contest. Lock struggled against a mediocre Cowboys defense, completing just 21 of 32 passes for 178 yards and one interception (0 TDs). First round rookie Malik Nabers continues to be a focal point of the passing offense, if only because there are no other standout performers among the Giants’ pass catchers. Nabers (hip) is questionable for Sunday. If the rookie is declared inactive, Darius Slayton would be the best fill-in, but apart from Nabers, the Giants’ pass catchers are not great options for Week 14 fantasy matchups.
The Saints are a better matchup for running backs, positioning Tyrone Tracy Jr. as a startable RB2. The Saints have allowed the 7th-most rushing yards per game (136) and rushing TDs (15) on the season. The Giants’ offense has been slowed the last two weeks, however, with Tracy only rushing the ball nine times in each contest. With Lock under center, fantasy gamers should expect low volume from the Giants as far as yardage and touchdown production.

Drew Lock will make his first start since 2021 for Seahawks with Geno Smith nursing a groin injury.
Drew Lock is set to make his first start as a Seahawk. Geno Smith is currently dealing with a groin injury and won’t be available for the upcoming game against the 49ers. Therefore, Drew Lock is expected to start as a quarterback for the first time since 2021. However, it will not be an easy task as the game is scheduled to be played away from home and against a challenging opponent like the 49ers.
All pass-catchers should be slightly downgraded with Lock under center or at the very least temper expectations for players like D.K Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
