Rashad Jennings, Andre Williams' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 12

Brian MaziqueNov 23, 2014

Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams were mostly held in check on Sunday night in the New York Giants' 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The two men combined for just 87 yards on the ground and averaged three yards per carry.

Williams did manage to find the end zone on a three-yard run in the second quarter. Jennings boosted his fantasy value significantly by hauling in a season-high eight receptions for 68 yards. He had 15 total before Sunday's game.

Here's a look at both men's stats:

Rashad Jennings19-5208-680
Andre Williams10-3511-120

Neither man came into the game as a major fantasy stud. Jennings had run for 455 yards and two scores. Williams was at 337 yards with four touchdowns.

Despite the mediocre stats, both backs could be smart plays next week. The G-Men face the woeful Jacksonville Jaguars, who came into Week 12 ranked 25th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game. Their ranking will likely drop after allowing 175 yards on the ground to the Indianapolis Colts in a 23-3 loss on Sunday.

If you have Williams or Jennings, you should be fine starting them.

Moving ahead, Williams is the better option. Neither man is putting up big numbers regularly, but Williams is getting the short-yardage touches. Therefore, he's likelier to get your fantasy team touchdowns.
