The Las Vegas Raiders are hosting former Giants fourth-round quarterback Kyle Lauletta and former Chiefs QB Kyle Shurmur for workouts on Friday. Perhaps the Raiders are looking for a little more quarterback depth with Marcus Mariota struggling so far in training camp. Nathan Peterman is the other signal-caller on the roster behind incumbent Derek Carr. Lauletta attempted just five passes (zero completions) in 2018 and tossed an interception for the G-Men. Shurmur, the son of former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur, hasn't attempted a single pass in an NFL game.
Alex Tanney, Kyle Lauletta Duke It Out For No. 3 Job
New York Giants quarterback Alex Tanney appears to be on track for the No. 3 job after a strong spring. Tanney and Daniel Jones split the second-team reps during minicamp and organized team activities (OTAs), while Lauletta only saw third-team reps with Tanney. The fourth-round pick in 2018, Lauletta looks to be on the outside looking in for a roster spot heading into training camp and the preseason. Whomever wins the No. 3 job, they still have no fantasy appeal unless disaster strikes and injuries claim both Eli Manning and Jones.
New York Giants quarterback Kyle Lauletta (knee) had a "knee cleanup" earlier this offseason. He was at practice on Monday but did very little. Lauletta should return to action soon, however. With Eli Manning, first-round pick Daniel Jones and Alex Tanney listed ahead of him on the depth chart, Lauletta is in danger of being cut out of training camp.
New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta was arrested on Tuesday while driving to the team's practice facility. Two sources said that Lauletta failed to obey a police officer's directions and that Lauletta came close to striking the officer with his vehicle. With Eli Manning struggling mightily this year, the rookie had a chance to play in the second half of the season with the Giants already well out of the playoff picture. That may change now, and the Giants have the Week 9 bye to evaluate everything. It's unclear what this might mean for Lauletta's future with the organization. Alex Tanney is the other quarterback on roster.
New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta is inactive in Week 1 against the Jaguars. The Giants chose to go with Alex Tanney over the rookie in the season opener as Eli Manning's backup. That could change as the season develops, though, as the Giants coaching staff has been high on Lauletta.
The New York Giants have been impressed with rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta enough that they waived Davis Webb over the weekend. The experience of 30-year-old Alex Tanney also won him a spot on the roster as the third QB. However, the team will visit with free-agent quarterback Matt McGloin this week. Head coach Pat Shurmur said he'd be "very comfortable" using the 22-year-old Lauletta in the regular season if Eli Manning were to miss time. Even if Lauletta were to make starts in 2018, he wouldn't be a very good fantasy option.
Kyle Lauletta Closing Gap On Davis Webb For Backup Role
New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta is closing the gap on Davis Webb for the backup job after Webb had his worst performance as a professional in the preseason game against the Browns last Thursday. Lauletta has impressed with the poise he's showed in the pocket. Both backups worked with the first-team offense on Monday, and Webb hit receiver Odell Beckham Jr. twice for touchdowns on back-to-back plays. Webb has looked good in practice and has showed zip on his throws. Lauletta and Webb will only see action this year if Manning is injured or gets benched, so they can be ignored in redraft leagues.
New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta is experiencing rookie growing pains at training camp. He threw an interception and overthrew a bunch of deep balls in practice on Monday. It's looking more and more likely that Davis Webb will back up Eli Manning to start the regular season. Lauletta, a fourth-round pick, can be ignored in all single-year fantasy formats.
New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta, taken in the fourth round of the draft, has questions surrounding his arm strength and he didn't do anything to quiet those concerns in spring workouts. It doesn't look like he's ready to push Davis Webb for the backup job behind Eli Manning. Still, Lauletta is worthy of the No. 3 job as a developmental prospect for the G-Men. Lauletta is only worth a look in deep dynasty leagues.
