From the episode

J.J. McCarthy is coming in to be a backup and the plan is for Jameis Winston to still start... I do think that McCarthy will eventually take over this Giants offense. But for fantasy right now, I will be more aggressive on Jalen Daniels, I would say, over McCarthy.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McCarthy acquired as Giants backup; unlikely to start immediately despite eventual takeover.

Traded to the New York Giants for a fifth-round pick; per Jordan Schultz, McCarthy is coming in as a backup with Jameis Winston expected to start. Devon A-chan questions this plan and is not aggressive on picking up McCarthy as a backup quarterback who won't play immediately. However, Devon A-chan believes McCarthy will eventually take over the Giants offense this season, making him less attractive than Jalen Daniels for immediate fantasy use.
