Rashad Jennings, Andre Williams' Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 13

Timothy RappNov 30, 2014

When Rashad Jennngs was out of action for over a month between October and November, fantasy owners may have forgotten that he was a productive running back and weekly RB2 consideration. After back-to-back weeks with double-digit fantasy points, it's safe to say that most fantasy owners remember just how valuable he's been for the New York Giants.    

That Jennings scored two first-half touchdowns was certainly a great sign for his nervous fantasy owners. Of course, last week Jennings was given 27 touches, so any concerns you may have had about him as a fantasy starter should have dissolved right there. But Jennings firmly entrenched his place as an RB2 with his early scores on Sunday.

Still, Andre Williams hasn't been completely disregarded. In a second-quarter trip to the red zone, it was Williams and not Jennings who received all of the touches. And last week, Williams had 11 touches of his own. So while it's clear that the Giants aren't going with an even split in the backfield, Williams is still going to get his touches.

That makes him a handcuff with some startability in really deep leagues if you are desperate at running back. Generally speaking he should be on your bench, but it's clear the Giants want to keep him involved in the offense, even if Jennings is the top dog.

Hit me up on Twitter—I'll answer your fantasy questions and make some corny jokes, too. It's more fun than being Richard Sherman when the San Francisco 49ers come to town.
