Andre Williams fantasy – Rashad Jennings knee injury opens the door
New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings hurt his knee on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons and was replaced by Andre Williams, who immediately should be on your fantasy radar.
Jennings rushed for 55 yards on 10 carries before getting hurt. His injury was termed a knee sprain, which we’re guessing could be a 1-2 week injury. He was listed as “out” for the remainder of the game after suffering the injury.
Andre Williams saw the bulk of the carries after Jennings got hurt and posted decent numbers, including a touchdown. His yards per carry average was much lower than Jennings’, but at least he saw more carries than Peyton Hillis, meaning he’s reliable.
The Giants’ offense isn’t great, so this isn’t a juggernaut position, but there should be plenty of opportunities for Williams.
