When the Giants drafted Daniel Jones at No. 6 overall, the NFL landscape was set on fire. ESPN experts were openly laughing on national television, Giants fans were crying in the stands, and fans across America couldn’t stop shitting on Dave Gettleman. The Giants were passing on elite defensive talent and Dwayne Haskins to select DANIEL JONES from Duke? The guy who completed 59.9 percent of his passes and threw 29 interceptions in 36 games? Well, after looking excellent in the preseason and earning the nickname “Danny Dimes,” he finally got his chance to start in Week 3 after Elisha Manning continued to suck.
And boy did he take advantage of his chance.
Dimes shredded the Bucs defense to the tune of 335 yards and two touchdowns threw the air, and showed off his wheels by adding two more scores on the ground. The second rushing touchdown came on fourth down to win the game. Talk about ice in his veins.
This week, the fantasy community is pushing their FAAB chips into the middle to get their hands on Mr. Dimes. Fortunately, you follow us and you hopefully were one of the 19 percent who snagged him before his first start — considering The Wolf told you to do so if you lost Big Ben or Drew Brees.
Don’t look now, but Wolf has Jones as his QB10 (!!!!!!!!!) on his current Rest of Season Big Board.
