Giants will use Paul Perkins and Rashad Jennings in tandem
The New York Giants will remain a two-back committee, head coach Ben McAdoo said.
"Having just one ball carrier going into the game and saying one back is going to play 68 snaps, I don't think that's feasible," said McAdoo. "You need a variety of guys and make sure you have the reps distributed that way." Running back Paul Perkins played 34 percent of snaps last week and was more effective than Rashad Jennings, but is going to remain in a timeshare.
Our models project Jennings as the 24th-best running back in fantasy this week, with 46 rushing yards and 0.43 touchdowns on 11 attempts, with 3 receptions for 20 receiving yards. Perkins comes in just behind him at 29th, with 52 yards from scrimmage and 0.21 touchdowns on 11 touches.
