New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a knee injury from Week 5. Now, the red hot Giants will turn to rookie Andre Williams, who was busy in his first chance on Sunday.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Andre Williams
Andre Williams is slated for a big role against the Eagles. Do fantasy owners take advantage?

Williams ran the ball 20 times against the Atlanta Falcons, totaling 65 rushing yards to go with 18 receiving yards on two catches. He didn't play much in the first half and easily would have been on pace for a 30-touch game. After Jennings went down, Peyton Hillis also saw two carries, but he's been awful so far with the Giants.
Williams gets a great matchup against a Philadelphia Eagles defense. The Giants are probably going to pass it more than run it, but the goal-line touches will give Williams a very high chance of scoring.
Fantasy impact: Yes, you probably just picked him up, but he’s definitely a solid RB1 this week. Get him in your lineup.
