New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings went for more than 100 yards Sunday after nearing that number in Week 1. It was a successful day for Jennings until late, when he fumbled the ball in the fourth quarter as the Giants had a chance to tie. The fumble clinched the Giants' 25-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Jennings rushed the ball 18 times for 64 yards in the game. He also caught four passes for 45 yards. It was the second straight productive game for the new Giant, who went for 96 yards from scrimmage in Week 1.
Fantasy impact: The fumble hurts a lot, of course, but the bigger takeaway from the Giants' first two weeks is that Jennings is well and truly the No. 1 back for the team, and rookie Andre Williams, who ran eight times Sunday for only 12 yards, is a non-factor for fantasy unless Jennings gets injured.
Going forward, Jennings is a high-end flex play, and the right matchups will propel him into RB2 territory.
