What happened: Field Yates projected the Giants, Commanders, Vikings and Seahawks to backups with Falcons and Bears to QB3. New York closed final at 6 against Los Angeles at 28. Dominic Zvada posted 6 points and Harrison Mevis posted 4 points.

Why it matters: Early quarterback changes compress preparation for Week 3 opponents. Depth moves across six clubs alter backup readiness and active-roster flexibility.

By the numbers: FINAL: New York Giants 6, Los Angeles Rams 28; Game-high: Dominic Zvada 6 PTS; Harrison Mevis 4 PTS

What to watch: Watch Week 3 inactives for quarterback designations and backup reps.
