The New York Giants will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Drew Lock.
Is Drew Lock Playing in Week 18?
Lock is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Drew Lock in Week 18?
Andrew Luck … Drew Luck … Drew Lock.
A few minor spelling changes and we’d have a QB with elite pedigree and high expectations. Instead, we have none of those things, so when Lock posts the best Giants QB+ in our database and a top-five overall grade of the season, we take notice in a big way.
The list of players since 2020 with a 300-yard, four-TD, one-rushing-TD game is a short and impressive one:
- Josh Allen (3x)
- Patrick Mahomes (1)
- Tom Brady (1)
- Justin Herbert (1)
- Dak Prescott (1)
- Drew Lock (1)
Last week was a lot of fun, and with a concentrated target tree, maybe I’m underselling his chances to expose what figures to be a backup-laden Eagles secondary, but I’m not at all interested in chasing the points I missed out on last week.
For his career, Lock is a sub-60% passer with nearly as many interceptions (nine) as touchdown passes (10) since 2021. I’ll trust the overall profile instead of an exciting 60 minutes.
