Eli benched: Daniel Jones named starter

The New York Giants have named rookie QB Daniel Jones the starter, beginning in week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

It's the end of an era in New York, but it is probably overdue. Daniel Jones apparently looked like the second coming of Peyton Manning in practice and the preseason, and now he gets his chance to prove it in games that mean something. There really is no change in how the fantasy relevant players are viewed. Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram remain the only start worthy players, both top 5 at their positions. If you are in need of a streaming D/ST, the Bucs are an intriguing option.
