So, the injury is not a huge deal. However, williams getting his foot in the door might be.

When Jennings comes back does he take back over the role or will we see more of a committee type of approach.

Jennings has been a solid fantasy back but hasn't been a great runner for the giants. If williams shows a bit more, could jennings kinda see more of the bench?

At the end of the day, the guy who had jennings dropped him and inexplicably picked up Smith, the change of pace guy from atlanta and didn't get williams. Before every calls him the taco, which it seems this was a mistake, we only have two bench spots and with byes it can be difficult to navigate.

However, Jennings was dropped and can be picked up off waivers. I have Foster, Tate (picked up after injured and someone cut him), Ryan Mathews (still injured but picked up when someone cut him), and Jerick Mckinnon.

I may be the only guy left, but by end of season I am still drinking the Mckinnon cool aid. However, if everyone feels that Jennings comes back and takes over the feature back role of an improved giants offense, I should jump on it. I would have to cut Mckinnon and ride light a couple of games till some of these guys come back. It could cost me some victories short term.

Tough call. I will ride it out if he returns as the feature back and williams goes back to neverland, but I am concerned he might not.

And I still think Mckinnon gets a much larger roll going forward, especially with teddy coming back in minnosota. Plus he can get me some points in the flex while Cooks is on bye and Mathews is still injured (these are my only two bench players this week)

Yes, the two bench area roster spot makes things very difficult.

He was averaging 4.4 yds per carry when he went down. Sure he had better value in ppr, but he wasn't Gerharting it out there.

Jennings ain't going anywhere when he's healthy. It's his job.

2 bench spots?? I don't see how you could afford to have Jeenings or McKinnon on your roster?

So, most are saying risk losing this week going without a flex and having two injured running backs. When they come back, I guess I will be that much better.

Again, if I do this I will be running this week without a flex.
