Rashad Jennings passes test to play. Giants expect to ease him into game & see how he holds up on 3rd dn. Could expand role if he does well.
— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) December 7, 2014 Jennings is expected to be “eased” into the game as it progresses, with Andre WIlliams handling early-down duties. Jennings will be involved in passing downs as the Giants monitor his progress throughout the game.
Fantasy Spin: Even though he’ll be suiting up, it’s not looking bright for Jennings fantasy owners this week despite a dream matchup versus the league’s worst run defense. Not only does Jennings lack appeal for fantasy purposes, but Williams’ workload may take a hit. Williams can still be considered as a flex play and is going to be touchdown dependent. Jennings is far too risky as fantasy owners look to advance in the playoffs.
