Andre Williams, Peyton Hillis, Michael Cox's Post-Week 9 Fantasy Reaction

Tim KeeneyNov 3, 2014

There weren't a lot of opportunities for the New York Giants running backs in a blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts Monday, but they still found ways to be productive.

Andre Williams plodded for most of the day but found the end zone, while Peyton Hills did a bunch of work in the passing game. Take a look at how the backfield fared:

Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke provided a glimpse at the number of snaps for each player. (Michael Cox ended up with two snaps.):

The biggest takeaway here? When Rashad Jennings is healthy, the job is his. No one is separating themselves with the extra workload, and as such, Jennings needs to be owned in all leagues, even with this discouraging prediction from ESPN's Dan Graziano:

For as long as Jennings remains out, this is a situation you probably want to avoid as much as possible. The bruising Williams has upside in short-yardage and goal-line situations, while Hillis is the clear go-to option on passing downs, but neither has really impressed. As they continue to split the work, they can't be trusted as anything more than flex options.

As far as Cox goes, he had a couple nice runs Monday but is still mostly a special teams player for now. He's off the fantasy radar.
