I wish I had a few more drafts soon because Rashad Jenning's ADP is going to go up.
Per Rotoworld: Looking big, fast and strong.

What a mess. Just draft one of them and hope he out touches the others.

I don't think it's really a "mess". I think it is the Giants just making sure they get a long look at what they have and get everyone ready to play because they have been so snake bitten with injuries at the position the past few years they probably don't want to get caught with their pants down again.

I don't think they signed Vereen to just come in on 3rd downs. I think he gets 4-5 carries a game.

So to summarize, vereen is the highest paid guy with the best ypc who blocks and catches better than the others and is running with the first team and getting more action in the running game than anyone expected even though the coaches have been talking about using him on early downs since acquiring him.
And her looks remarkably similar to our bonus player... tiki barber heading into his breakout fourth season

You sure he blocks better? He is a bit small compared to RJ.

So whats up with this guy?
Love might be a tad strong IMO. he'll be decent when healthy to good against weak defenses. BUT, Andre Will actually looked pretty good last night. Had more shake/wiggle in his few carries then he had all of last yr. I like Jennings and own him, but I think he'll be a shaky flex option. I have a feeling Andre Will be used alot more then people think. Could even see a 60-40 rushing split with Vereen on 3rd downs. How many touches are we then talking about here 10-15/game??
Meh

Well I just traded a future 3rd and 5th for him. So hopefully he can maybe play and score 10 points for me a couple times.

exactly, we're not talking about a third rounder here...he is easily sliding into the sixth round here.

Vereen will get hurt
Yeah, I dont really see much upside for Jennings other than as a 4th or 5th RB for injury/bye weeks
To each their own...but every day that passes I like Vareen more and more this year. In my opinion Vareen is the back to own here if you're in a PPR league. That Bob Mcadoo offense is tailor made for him with all those short passes.
If Vareen steals even 30 to 35% of the carries (which I think he easily will) he's going to outscore Jennings in ppr by a decent margin. I think he has potential for 80+ receptions.

would you agree that if Vereen isn't getting any 1st or 2nd down rushing attempts that that would be an indicator of not "stealing a bunch of carries?"

Footballguy
Vereen is more of a play in PPR, I don't disagree with that...but I agree with most "experts" that Rashad should still go higher.

Wow~!
I'm shocked not one word has been uttered about Jennings supposedly being told by Eli "not to score" at the end of the game this week.
"Rashad Jennings tells ESPN's Dan Graziano he was told not to score on 1st- and 2nd-and-goal on New York's final drive Sunday evening."
As an owner in one big money league (I have him and Vereen on my bench) I am stoked to see he got 13 carries for 52 yards and a TD.
Then again, I need to constantly ask myself exactly how "stoked" I should be, if in fact that dumb ### Eli Manning told him not to score near the end. (A stunning move that may have cost them the game)
Something about this story stinks, and it wouldn't surprise me if this triggers the end of Rashad Jennings in New York.
Why would they ever let this out???? (it had to be a Tom Coughlin call)
Maybe we will hear more this week concerning it.

It was a stupid call (by whomever, Eli or Coughlin) because of the amount of time left in the game.
But that is very rare and situation-dependent, and I don't know why anyone would worry about it happening often, nor why you would think it "triggers the end of Jennings in NY". Are you saying that because you think they'll punish Jennings for speaking publicly when he should have said "no comment"? I doubt it.

Something about them telling him not to score really does stink. It makes no sense to not want to be up by ten points.
That's probably the worst decision-making I've ever heard, or it's untrue.
But Jennings is a plodder. It looks like Vereen got 26 snaps to Jennings's 21.

Wow. I'm blown away by that. I can't believe they wouldn't think being up by two scores is better than milking the clock, throwing the ball and being up by six.
There's a really genuine problem if that was the coaching and leadership decision.

Its not necessarily just because of that though, its all things considered.
Jennings hasn't been exactly a bastion of health since he got there. (though I think he has been decent when healthy)
Knowing Tom Coughlin is part of it, I mean why wouldn't this have come out from another source, and not the "lowly RB"?
I would think Coughlin himself may have stepped up to the plate, or "my good little soldier" Eli takes all the blame taking it off Coughlin.
It just surprises me that it came from Jennings , and It wouldn't surprise me if he is let go at some point,thats all.
I don't know the exact timeline of the events, but it almost seems like Jennings let the cat out of the bag, then the damage control began.
Typically those old school coaches don't like that sort of thing getting out by someone, and it often comes back to haunt the player in one way or another.
Regardless, I just thought it was interesting no one here had said anything.
I am not a big fan of any one organization, the only thing I really care about is how these guys do on my fantasy teams, and how they perform once I have a financial investment.
I'm actually hoping Jennings can stay healthy and have a great season.

No. They can't block. Vereen is the only startable Giant RB right now.

Just traded him along with Crabtree and Willie Snead (who was on my team for 3 hours) for Forsett, LaFell, and Marvin Jones in a PPR league.

I think he should be rostered in ALL 10 team leagues and 12 team leagues alike, except in some fluky rules or scoring scenarios.
No matter how we shake it, he is considered the "starting" RB for a team, and he is averaging 10+ carries a week through 4 weeks. Let's not forget he catches a few passes here and there also, and sometimes gets goal line work to boot.
Last time I checked, this year has been an abomination to RBs.
Makes me all the more confident and happy with my decision NOT to draft RBs early, barring one league.
As it turns out, I have him on 2 of 4 rosters, although I must admit to having dropped him a week ago then picking him back up yesterday in one particular league. (for what its worth, I drafted him and Vereen BOTH in those two leagues as bench backs)
I am having to start him in one league, where I have two other sparkling luminaries at RB on bye..... namely Jonathan Stewart and Lamar Miller.
Am I confident in Jennings this week? I wouldn't go quite that far, but playing SF is a good matchup. 50 yards and a TD isn't out of the question, and the way RBs are performing this year, I will gladly accept that.
I have always been one of those guys that draft a single WR to cover bye weeks of the others (redraft) and I just absolutely load up on RBs on my bench.
I may be biased, but there is no reason for him to be on the wire in most leagues.
What would you rather have on your bench, a 4th or 5th WR? LOL, or an actual starting RB, who is often a single injury away from above average production......
(now then again, if in your league there are several people roster 2 or even THREE QBs, and multiple tight ends, then its a different animal)
But those guys are the same ones who cry later in the season when they have no running back depth too.

I don't disagree that he should be rostered, but whether it's by you or someone else depends on the type of production you like...I had him and actually dropped him a week ago because of horrible bye week issues...but, the inconsistency makes him nearly impossible to start. Some weeks, he'll produce, other weeks, he'll do absolutely nothing. Whether that makes him worth it to you or not is your call...

I'm afraid I'm going with Charles Clay in the flex over him. Can't be trusted.
