Andre Williams' Latest Fantasy Reaction After Rashad Jennings' Injury

Andrew GouldDec 14, 2014

Rashad Jennings just can't seem to stay on the field, which gives rookie running back Andre Williams another chance to shine as the New York Giants' primary running back.   

After getting cleared to play against Washington, Jennings abruptly left after one carry. The team's official Twitter account declared him questionable to return for the Week 15 clash.

His day ended there, but Williams could not capitalize on the expanded opportunity.

Before the game, head coach Tom Coughlin anticipated both backs to share the workload, per Newsday's Colin Stephenson.

"Both of them will play, no doubt,'' Coughlin said. "I mean, how they go in, when they go in, that's a big deal for you [media] guys; it's really not that much for me. We'll look at it and we'll decide, probably based on the first few plays.''

While Williams led some fantasy squads to a Week 14 victory by breaking out 147 total yards and a touchdown, he did so against an atrocious Tennessee Titans rushing defense. Despite the big game, he is averaging a mediocre 3.2 yards per carry this season.

Surrendering 4.2 yards per rush, the St. Louis Rams present a neutral Week 16 matchup for Williams. Running back is shallow enough that anyone drawing regular touches warrants a look, but don't expect any miracles.
