The New York Giants have ruled out Paul Perkins vs. the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.
Paul Perkins injury update: Giants RB out vs. Chargers
It’s been a forgettable season for Paul Perkins.

Perkins is dealing with a rib injury that kept him out of practice on Thursday and Friday. He was listed as limited in Wednesday’s session, so hopefully, this injury does not sideline him more than one game.
Perkins has been getting plenty of touches in the Giants’ backfield, but he’s been unable to do anything behind this putrid Giants offensive line. Against the Buccaneers in Week 4, Perkins mustered up just 13 yards on nine carries. He has averaged under 2.5 yards per carry in all four games this season and has yet to reach the end zone.
Fantasy impact: Not only will you not play Perkins this week, but it may be time to drop him in all leagues. With him out, backup Wayne Gallman looks like a potentially viable running back for your fantasy team.
