The New York Giants have struggled running the ball this year, and a big reason why is the ineffectiveness of Rashad Jennings.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Rashad Jennings a tough call vs. Eagles
The Giants have no ground game, and that means no viable fantasy running back.

The incumbent starting running back has rushed for just 497 yards and two scores on 154 carries (3.2 avg.). His 30 catches for 189 yards and one score have not added much to his ineptness in this offense, and one has to wonder how much longer he will hold off rookie Paul Perkins for the starting job.
They have been getting close to a 50-50 split over the last four games. As it stands, expect Jennings to be the featured back Thursday when the Giants face the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Jennings as the 30th-best running back in Week 16. He faces an Eagles defense allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to running backs over the last five weeks.
Even with a favorable matchup, keep Jennings on the bench this week.
