New York Giants DFS Spin
Giants QB Tommy DeVito will start in Week 16 against the Eagles. DeVito had a rough game on Sunday against the Saints, completing 20-of-34 passes for 177 yards while taking seven sacks and rushing for 36 yards. He was also on the receiving end of a vicious hit while he was in the middle of his slide; a hit where the penalty flag was picked up despite the NFL’s continued desire to protect its quarterbacks.
Despite the poor performance and injury on Sunday, Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed that DeVito would start against the Eagles. “He’s earned it. It’s not always going to be perfect, but he’s earned the opportunity to play.” With the Giants all but eliminated from playoff contention, it makes sense for them to continue to let DeVito play to see if he can be a long-term back-up in the coming years.
Philadelphia Eagles DFS Spin
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 16 against the Giants. This confirms Smith’s own words where he all but insisted that he would be on the field when the Eagles take on the division-rival Giants on Christmas Day. Smith is a locked-in WR2 for fantasy purposes against the man-heavy, Wink Martindale Giants defense.
