Over his the last three weeks, the Giants’ running back is averaging almost five yards per touch on about 20 touches per game.
Fantasy Impact: Jennings and New York get the pleasure of facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13.
So far in 2016, the Steelers are giving up the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Seven players from the position group have ended their game versus Pittsburgh this season with at least 75 total yards.
Yahoo! is projecting Jennings to finish with 76 total yards on 18 touches this Sunday. His matchup should be at least enough to garner some flex consideration from fantasy owners this week.
