The Giants are planning to start QB J.J. McCarthy against the Texans this weekend, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. McCarthy replaced QB Jameis Winston with about 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter last week and proceeded to throw for 243 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. That included some high-level downfield throws to WRs Malik Nabers and Charlie Jones and TE Isaiah Likely. McCarthy, of course, was mostly bad in 10 starts for the Vikings last year. He somehow brings even more volatility than Winston to the Giants' passing game. New York notably has the lowest implied total of the week at just 16.75 points.
