Daniel Jones is in a walking boot with a high-ankle sprain and all signs are pointing towards Eli Manning starting on Monday Night Football against the Eagles. It's too bad Jones' rookie year may get cut short, but he's shown enough to give you reason for optimism in 2019. Of course, what really matters to Fantasy managers is how this affects the Giants in Week 14 and beyond. 

Jones was featured as stash because of his matchups with the Eagles, Dolphins and Washington over the next three weeks. I wouldn't be any less excited about Manning. 

Manning faced the Cowboys and the Bills in the first two weeks of the season and still averaged 278 yards per game. Jones has thrown for 240 or less in three of his last four games. Manning is more accurate and doesn't turn the ball over as often. The only thing he's missing is Jones' rushing ability. 

Manning could also get Evan Engram and Golden Tate back from injury this week, which would give the Giants a full set of weapons for the first time all year. Manning is only a start in a two-quarterback league this week but I do like him as a stash for the game against the Dolphins.

The impact on the rest of the Giants will be determined by who actually plays, but I do believe this is a downgrade for Darius Slayton and an upgrade for Saquon Barkley. It also makes me less interested in the Eagles defense as a streaming option, too.

Week 14 QB Preview

Even if you don't feel comfortable starting him this week, you need to add him for the next two weeks.

Tannehill just had his first game below 22 Fantasy points this season. I expect a bounceback against a Raiders defense that has allowed five different quarterbacks to top 30 Fantasy points this season. Like Minshew, Tannehill could be a multi-week starter.

The Broncos have been hard on quarterbacks, but Watson just overcame the Patriots and he's at home again. I love the discount you get off Lamar Jackson (and several other quarterbacks) and I don't expect him to be highly rostered this week.

We got unlucky with Andy Dalton losing two touchdowns to drops last week. Like Dalton, Minshew is underpriced due to uncertainty about him starting. Take advantage.
