New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings had his worst game of the year against Washington in Week 4. He had just 55 rushing yards and -3 receiving yards on his 14 touches -- a season low. On top of that, running back Andre Williams had a touchdown to make matters worse.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Rashad Jennings
Rashad Jennings had some competition for carries last week. Should you start him in fantasy this week?

Before that flop, Jennings was among the league leaders in yards from scrimmage thanks to his 176-yard game against the Houston Texans in Week 3. He's already at 89 touches on the season, which ranks second in the league to DeMarco Murray.
The Giants have figured out how to move the ball, averaging 37.5 points per game. They'll have a chance to match that number against the Atlanta Falcons' "defense."
Fantasy impact: The Falcons are dead last in fantasy points allowed to running backs, so things are looking promising for Jennings. He’s a must-start player in any format and could be the top back when it’s all said and done on Sunday.
