For years we've seen Jennings be between mediocre to above mediocre. We haven't seen anything from Williams yet.

But we know what Jennings is, and we don't know Williams is.

If you're going to own one, I'd rather Williams based on where you get him vs where you have to draft Jennings to get him now that everyone knows Wilson is likely out.

Here's a fun fact from Matthew Berry:

Over the past five years, New York Giants running backs have the second most rushing touchdowns (74) and the 11th most rushing yards (8,337) among NFL corps.

Over that span, the Giants have run the ball on 55 percent of their plays from inside the 10-yard line, the seventh highest rate in the NFL.

Contrary to popular belief, Jennings actually hasn't had bad production when given the carries. Sure maybe his season totals up to this point have been underwhelming, but that's due to situation, injury, etc. I forget the exact numbers but in games where Jennings received 15 carries/game last year(which was 6 I believe) he finished no worse than like the top 15 in scoring for RBs that week. That's solid RB2 area.

He's going to definitely be their 3rd down back. Even in a split between he and Williams, I see it being more 70/30 rather than 50/50. For his current price of the 5th round, I'll take Jennings as my RB2/RB3.
