DeVito completed 14 of 27 passes for 103 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Saturday's 10-6 preseason loss to the Jets. He added five rushes for 48 yards.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants opted not to play Daniel Jones or Drew Lock (hip), leaving DeVito to play the entire contest. He turned in an uneven performance, as he was sacked eight times and averaged an abysmal 3.8 yards per attempt. However, DeVito showed some resiliency and managed to move the ball with short passes and scrambles to lead two scoring drives. He'll enter the season as nothing better than the third quarterback on the depth chart, though it's unclear if he'll survive cutdown day on the roster.

DeVito completed eight of 15 passes for 92 yards without a touchdown or interception in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions. He added four rushing attempts for two yards.
EDGE Analysis
Daniel Jones didn't suit up and Drew Lock exited late in the first quarter due to a hip injury, leaving DeVito to play the remainder of the game. DeVito proceeded to lead two touchdown drives in the second quarter, both of which were capped by Eric Gray rushing scores. While DeVito started six games as a rookie and looked marginally sharper than Lock on Thursday, the second-year quarterback is still expected to open the season third on the depth chart behind Jones and Lock. DeVito will likely see significant playing time in next Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.

DeVito is slated to be joined by Drew Lock behind starting quarterback Daniel Jones (knee), Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeVito looks to be sliding down to No. 3 on New York's depth chart, with Lock reportedly receiving a one-year, $5 million contract, per Brady Henderson of ESPN. As a rookie last year DeVito enjoyed a brief stretch in the spotlight following Jones' season-ending ACL tear, but he was replaced by a healthy Tyrod Taylor under center to close out the campaign. As it stands, DeVito could compete with Lock for the No. 2 role this offseason, but it's also possible the Giants add another name to the quarterback room in April's draft, where they hold the No. 6 overall pick.

DeVito completed both of his pass attempts for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-10 victory versus Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Tyrod Taylor started for New York for the second straight week, but DeVito took over for a series in the first quarter after the former suffered a thumb injury. DeVito completed a five-yard pass on that drive but wasn't able to lead New York to a first down, and Taylor returned for the team's next offensive series. DeVito got one more look in the third quarter and logged a nine-yard completion on his final pass attempt of the campaign. The rookie QB finished the season having completed 64.0 percent of his 178 pass attempts for 1,101 yards and an 8:3 TD:INT while rushing 36 times for 195 yards and a touchdown over nine games, including six starts. DeVito's opportunity to play this season was largely a result of injuries -- Daniel Jones tore the ACL in his right knee Week 9 and was lost for the remainder of the year, and Taylor sat out Weeks 9-14 with an injury to his rib cage. That said, DeVito provided a spark (and a good underdog story) at times after being pressed into action, and he has a strong chance of working as Jones' backup next year with Taylor a free agent and likely set to land elsewhere.

DeVito will move into a backup role for Sunday's game against the Rams with head coach Brian Daboll announcing Wednesday that Tyrod Taylor will start Week 17.
EDGE Analysis
DeVito had started New York's previous six games but was benched for Taylor at halftime of Monday's 33-25 loss to the Eagles. The undrafted rookie has a solid 8:3 TD:INT and has showed some scrambling ability (36 carries for 195 yards and a touchdown), but he's averaging a middling 6.2 yards per attempt and has taken 36 sacks on 212 dropbacks (a league-worst 17 percent rate). Assuming Taylor escapes Week 17 unscathed and turns in a decent showing versus the Rams, DeVito should remain in a backup role for the Week 18 rematch with Philadelphia.

DeVito completed nine of 16 passes for 55 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions before being benched at halftime in Monday's 33-25 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
DeVito struggled significantly Week 15 and couldn't shake that heading into Monday's divisional matchup. He didn't turn the ball over but failed to push the ball down the field, which resulted in his longest completion going for only 14 yards while averaging just 3.4 yards per attempt. As a result, he was benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor, leaving the Giants' quarterback situation for a Week 17 matchup against the Rams ambiguous.

DeVito completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 177 yards with no touchdowns or turnovers while rushing for 36 yards on four attempts in Sunday's 24-6 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants' entire offense struggled to generate much of anything on the road against one of the league's top defensive units. DeVito felt the brunt of Sunday's thrashing, getting sacked seven times and absorbing a late hit on one of his four rushing attempts that left the quarterback laid out and needing medical attention. New York's popular undrafted rookie was able to return and finish the contest, but the end result was a mediocre fantasy line in a losing effort. Assuming DeVito suffered no ill effects from the borderline dirty hit, he will likely be back under center for another tough matchup against the Eagles next Monday.

DeVito completed 17 of 21 passes for 158 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing 10 times for 71 yards in the Giants' 24-22 win over the Packers on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
DeVito was nearly perfect through the air and turned in a stellar rushing performance, finishing just 15 yards shy of Saquon Barkley's team-leading total. The rookie signal-caller connected with six different targets overall and keyed a game-winning drive during which he completed all four pass attempts for 53 yards, including a 32-yarder to Wan'Dale Robinson that took the Giants into field-goal range. DeVito now has a 5:0 TD:INT over his last three starts, completing 72.2 percent of his passes during that span as well. The Illinois product next sets his sights on a Week 15 road matchup against the Saints.

Coach Brian Daboll announced Tuesday that DeVito will be the Giants' starting quarterback Monday against the Packers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the wake of the Giants' Week 13 bye, the team designated Tyrod Taylor (ribs) for return from injured reserve Monday, raising some question marks about who may be under center for the team Week 14. But DeVito will continue to be New York's No. 1 QB, at least Sunday, even if Taylor is activated from IR ahead of the contest. In three starts prior to the bye, DeVito completed 49 of 78 passes for 523 yards, six touchdowns and one interception, rushed 13 times for 54 yards and fumbled twice (one lost).

DeVito completed 17 of 25 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots. He added six rushing yards on five attempts and lost one of two fumbles.
EDGE Analysis
After throwing three touchdowns in his first NFL win the previous week, DeVito came out hot with 57 yards on his first three passes, but he also turned the ball over to end the Giants' first drive just outside the red zone on a botched handoff to Wan'Dale Robinson. Neither offense got much going, but DeVito broke a scoreless tie just after the two-minute warning in the first half with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Hodgins, prompting the New Jersey native to break out his signature celebration. After New England tied the game in the third quarter, a fourth-quarter Randy Bullock field goal followed by a miss from Patriots kicker Chad Ryland led to DeVito's second consecutive win. Given DeVito's momentum heading into a Week 13 bye, he'll likely remain the starter under center in Week 14 against the Packers, even with Tyrod Taylor (ribs) eligible to return at that point.
