Paul Perkins announced as Giants' starting running back
New York Giants running back Paul Perkins was named the starter by head coach Ben McAdoo on Monday.
What It Means:
The public announcement is a bit of a surprise, but the decision is not. Perkins didn't impress much during his rookie season, but opportunity is everything in fantasy football, so he'll have some low-end RB2/FLEX potential if the Giants can improve their offensive line play. Only 22-years-young, Perkins averaged 4.1 yards per carry on 112 attempts last season while failing to find the end zone in 14 games played.
Perkins earned -0.02 Rushing Net Expected Points per carry last season, finishing third in his own backfield. He ranked 28th out of the 54 running backs to see at least 80 carries.
