Rashad Jennings

There's belief David Wilson's recent neck injury 'career-ending'

According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, "Giants doctors are shutting down RB David Wilson due to the neck injury that he sustained last year and most recently in camp. There is a belief that the injury could be career-ending."

Fantasy Impact: 

Wilson hurt his neck in practice last week, saw some doctors about it in New York City and believed he'd get good news today after being examined by the doctor who performed his surgery in January. From a fantasy perspective, Andre Williams could get a bump in value now behind Rashad Jennings, even though he does not have a Wilson-like build to him for a third-down role. Williams saw first-team work in the Giants game with the Bills Sunday night and scored a TD. As for Wilson, it's believed he could be put on IR, or the Giants could reach an injury settlement.

Giants QB Eli Manning was complemented by a 1-2 punch of a running game made up of rookie Andre Williams and free-agent addition Rashad Jennings, who took much of the pressure off the passing attack [on the team's scoring drive].

The focus on a ground game is part of the new wrinkles being introduced by new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo.

"I thought there were some improvements. It was a good start," Manning said.

Fantasy Impact: 

Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth raved over Williams on that drive, and he was impressive. However, the broadcast team also said it was against Bills second-teamers. Collinsworth feels that Williams will be a lot more than just a backup to Jennings this season. Williams has been working in goal line situations in camp, but perhaps could be poised for a Brandon Jacobs kind of role, which could put a dent in Jennings potential.

QB Eli Manning is starting to get the hang of the New York Giants newly installed up-tempo offense.

It helped that the 11th-year quarterback got a chance to go in for a third series in the Giants' 17-13 win over the Buffalo Bills in the preseason-opening Hall of Fame Game on Sunday night.

After Manning ended the Giants' second series by losing a fumble on a sack, he bounced back by methodically engineering a 12-play, 80-yard drive capped by rookie Andre Williams' 3-yard touchdown run.

"Yeah, it was big for our offense to get something going, get a few first downs, get in a good rhythm," Manning said. "I'm glad we had that one last opportunity."

Fantasy Impact: 

According to the broadcast, that drive was mostly against Bills second-teamers. But after a slow start, Manning and the offense needed something to build on. Manning's stock has fallen and he's ranked 21st on our list, so he's not getting drafted in a lot of 10-team leagues. He's certainly a candidate to at least be a committee QB option and be a pickup off the waiver wire when the season starts.

Giants Beat: Team to utilize 'committee' at running back

Giants RB Rashad Jennings headlines a diverse group of candidates to fill the possible void left by David Wilson. Already the starter, he'll likely have an expanded role. Second-year pro Michael Cox, veteran Peyton Hillis, rookie Andre Williams and first-year pro Kendall Gaskins are also in the mix.

Each brings a different dimension to the backfield but none possess the game-breaking ability of Wilson. Coach Tom Coughlin said he’ll employ a running back-by-committee rotation to offset the likely loss of Wilson.

“I think we have some talented guys at that spot,” Coughlin said Thursday. “I think Rashad has done well. I think the young kid (Williams) has come along the more we have given him to do. Michael Cox has had his spots."

Fantasy Impact: 

The various backs will have roles, but Jennings is very likely to play heavy snaps. He has his detractors, but he's a solid pick in the 5th round as a RB2/RB3.
