Giants backfield rest of year & 2016

[DLF3000]

Anyone feeling Darkwa or Williams for the rest of the season or in 2016? I still like Williams, but curious if anyone else does or likes Darkwa more and why.

Or am I wasting my time and should dump these two for guys like James White and Ahmad Bradshaw on the WW?

How do you still like Andre Williams

I like Darkwa the best out of that group right now, but it doesn't look like he'll see a lot of carries until injuries happen to guys in front of him.

I think Vereen is going to continue to lead this team in snaps. No idea how Jennings is still their lead rusher, but my guess is he's done after this year. The team seems to have almost given up on Williams at this point. I guess Darkwa could become the guy, but my guess is they'll bring in someone else to split carries should Jennings pack it in.

I know lots of people are hating on Williams, but his rookie stats weren't the dumpster fire everyone's making them out to be. You'd think he rushed 100-300 yds and 2 TDs with 0 catches the way he's been destroyed pretty much everywhere. Nowhere near the case.

Jennings is old.

He's proven he can be a workhorse in both the NFL and obviously college.

The Giants rarely rotate so many backs, and I don't expect that to last.

Darkwa is probably JAG.

So those are my reasons.

Lifelong Pats fan and (unfortunately) multi-year dynasty owner of Vereen up until mid-season this year. Vereen is not a good runner and gets hurt a lot, but like everyone knows, he's got very good hands out of the backfield.

If anything, I might talk myself out of owning any Giant back, just like I did with Patriots backs (finally), just because of Vereen's long-term presence. He really seems like a Giants backfield value-destroyer, to be honest. Not a classic Giants back at all. But there he is, sucking the fantasy life out of that backfield...

...wasting my time and should dump these two for guys like James White and Ahmad Bradshaw on the WW?

BINGO! lol go find someone else not on the NYG. That is a bad and ugly pie to own a piece of IMO

Bradshaw is only 29 and will be the starter if grandpa Gore goes down...hell, he's already getting carries and snaps now and making an impact

[ThatDude]

I think Darkwa is the.most talented guy on the team, but they seem intent on getting all 4 guys 6-8 touches per game. Darkwa is the only one that interests me for next year, but it's probable there will be someone else to compete with in 2016. My bunch is Forte will be a Giant next year.

My hunch is Forte will be a Giant next year.

Well Darkwa carried the ball 8 times, Jennings 5 times and A.Williams 6 times.....

Slowly but surely Darkwa is getting in there

Coughlin retires, Giants get Sean Payton as coach. Khiry Robinson moves to the Giants.

Wildcard bitches!!!! This would make me so happy as a 80%+ Khiry Owner..... Darkwa prolly lead back tho with more ?'s coming from a rookie

[Plank]

I have Darkwa in a few places, I've liked what I've seen from him, so I think I am going to hang onto him going into next year..

[WhatWouldDitkaDo]

Just FYI for those stashing Darkwa...he's an ERFA after this season, so there's a decent chance he's not even there next season. I for one am just avoiding the NYG backfield in general. I think they draft a RB in the early rounds in 2017.

[prinefan]

Even if they draft an RB, they can't ignore what Darkwa brings to the table. IMO he'll get a fair shot next year at a large percentage of snaps. I'm snagging him everywhere I can. I don't see how they'll attempt another 4 way RBBC.

[Gametime675]

I'm not touching anyone in that backfield until Coughlin is gone. Their 4(!) RB rotation makes no sense at all. It's like they're trying to be "progressive" piecing together a cheap backfield, which is smart in today's NFL, but they didn't get the memo that you don't need to play all of them evenly. At the very least Andre Williams should not be getting any touches if there are 3 healthy backs ahead of him. And for the life of me, why do you pay Vereen (their most talented RB) and then not use him?!
