And/or Jacobs if he is somehow available in shallower leagues..He is in my 10 team league.

Definitely bump Eli and the WR. I don’t see them trusting Ware or Scott with heavy workloads, and I definitely don’t trust Jacobs to take advantage of the opportunity and flourish.

But clearly, somebody has to carry the rock. I also don't see Jacobs getting 20-25 carries, so will it be Ware or Scott that gets the balance? Any Giants homers care to weigh in? I'm familiar with Scott from his time at Maryland. He's pretty similar to Bradshaw - smaller, but thick, shifty back with really good speed. No clue about Ware.

Ware?
With Jacobs potentially leaving next year, does anyone think they give him a chance to show what hes got, like an audition?

Helllloooo Brandon Jacobs. Where you been, man?

In due time.
Rotoworld is quoting the Newark Ledger saying that Jacobs is set to carry the load this weekend. FWIW.

Why wouldn't Jacobs be next in line to get the majority of the snaps?
Brock Middlebrook

because he sucks?
I'm assuming his role won't change and they'll insert ware (and mix in some scott). My prediction is that Jacobs will be his usual self but Scott will emerge as a big play threat the giants running game has been missing.

Ware has been talked about for some time here but he hasn't exactly flourished. The Giants do know how to scout RBs though, they cut/traded Ryan Grant a few years ago, unearthed Braddy, saw Derrick Ward have a career year. Danny Ware was supposed to continue that lineage but hasn't exactly lit the world on fire in his limited reps.
The Giants line isn't what it was but it is gelling.
Full caveats.
Really tough schedule upcoming, so there's that to think about. 4 of the next five
@ New England
@ SF
vs. Green Bay
@ NOLA
Not that anyone but SF has a great defense, my fear is that with the offense they'll be trailing and thus chucking. You're looking for a checkdown guy here and if Ware can help out of blitz protect and slip out and be that guy, I like him.
I don't know much about Scott as a fan, and to me, reading into THIS preseason is trickier than ever given its short nature. Burst is burst and speed is speed though.
I'm going to guess its Ware's job to lose. Put it this way, I just added Ware in 3 leagues and Scott in none. Doesn't make me smart or a super home, just where I would see the tea leaves going. If Scott came out of nowhere this weekend, as Braddy did once upon a time, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. I expect SOMEONE to pound the ball and try to control clock against New England.
This weekend, if they can, they'll try to run the ball 35 times I'm sure. My guess.
18 carries for Jacobs
12 carries for Ware
5 carries for Scott

I think he is, but the speculation is that the Giants do not believe that Jacobs can carry the load himself as he's had a pretty significant injury history. So, someone is needed to fill Ahmad Bradshaw's role.
so you think jacobs will continue to get 8 carries/game? what is this based on?
Jacobs is not a bellcow RB. I believe his role with remain the same with Ware & Scott picking up for Bradshaw's absence.
Watching every snap of giants football for the past 10 years including going to training camp each year.
Jacobs might get 12 carriers instead of 8, but you'll see a much similar role for him. I'm also assuming he is rostered already so I'm trying to debate ware vs. scott. Ware short term, scott long term.

Jacobs was running pretty well before he got injured a few weeks back.

How long term is long term? Who is the better pick up? Or both if you have roster room?
who plays inside the 5 yard line? previously bradshaw got most of those snaps. if jacobs gets 5 more carries a game and the scoring opps then he is a very worthwhile fantasy player, esp given the attrition at rb this yr.

Jacobs was dropped in my league after he got injured.

Same here
Ware (& even andre brown) are just guys. Scott looks special - in training camp & preseason. So you have Ware - opportunity but m'eh talent vs. Scott - low opportunity vs. talent/speed. I just rostered Scott b/c Ware won't start for me over my other RBs and he might put up 8-10 Fantasy points, but there is a chance Scott explodes over the next few weeks.

Jacobs value definitely is on the rise but the schedule looks pretty tough. I bump Eli and the WR's up a little too as I think they will now throw more.

My recollection from having had him in fantasy in past years is that his effectiveness is significantly reduced wen he is dealing with an injury, maybe this is hearsay though. When I've watched him this year he looks like a lesser version of himself.

Considering the three-headed RBBC potential here, I'm going to stay away. No desire to drop my current lottery ticket pickups for a 10-40 type of guy.

Giants have a little something going on offense right now as an air attack and Jacobs doesn't fit that mold as a plodder. I don't know if Ware or Scott has the skills as an every down or close to everydown NFL back right now, we know Jacobs does, but his presence sort of telegraph's the offense a bit. He had a BIT of success on passes out of the backfield, but is no where near the checkdown option these other guys are.
I just did this. I dropped him for Ware.
Jacobs is a terrible short yardage back - lost that role to bradshaw last year. He can't find room on the goalline, but they will continue to give him attempts, so he would be my choice of the 3 but maybe b/c I'm in NY, all leagues I'm in, jacobs has been rostered all year.
Same here. I think I will hang on to Stewart, Hunter, Tate, and Helu.
fred_1_15301
Footballguy
I did the same. If ware has even an iota of potential, it's still more than anything Helu will give. Helu is the backup on a pathetic offense.

For those keeping track of my first 5 picks this year in my redraft league...
Round 1 - Darren McFadden
Round 2 - Andre Johnson
Round 3 - Ahmad Bradshaw
Round 4 - Vincent Jackson
Round 5 - Kenny Britt
It's been one of those years.

I'm picking up Ware and Scott. Dropping Ricky Williams and Redman.
Somebody's gotta carry the ball in Washington and Torain and Choice suck.

Brandon Jacobs is "set to carry the load" in Sunday's game against the Patriots, according the Newark Star-Ledger.
Jacobs has been griping about his meager role behind Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), so now it's time to prove he's still got gas left in the tank. He'll start going forward and is a strong bet for 15-18 touches weekly, including all the goal-line work. Danny Ware will serve as the third-down back. If Jacobs was dropped in your league, scoop him back up as a potential RB2/flex play.
Ha! 15-18 touches! I'm sure his knee will be able to handle that.
