Drew Lock Week 14 Outlook - Giants at Eagles

His first start got them a win and he did throw two touchdown passes, but his paltry 4.8 yards per attempt is far from good. It was a matchup with the Chargers, so we don't want to be too harsh on the rookie. The Texans are a much easier matchup, though it's mostly due to volume. Quarterbacks have averaged 37.6 pass attempts per game against them, which has led to them allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. The 7.42 yards per attempt is slightly above average, but not nearly as bad as some might expect given the injuries they've dealt with throughout the year. They've also lacked a pass-rush, as they rank 26th in the NFL while pressure the opposing quarterback just 31.9 percent of the time. The four quarterbacks who've failed to throw multiple touchdowns against them include Gardner Minshew (twice), Jacoby Brissett, and Kyle Allen. What do they have in common? None were expected to be the starters in 2019. Lock should offer something for those in 2QB leagues but relying on him for anything more than low-end QB2 production would be a mistake.
