Fantasy Football: 5 Must Start Players New York Giants vs Cleveland Browns

Rashad Jennings

There aren’t many more defenses as giving to running backs in fantasy football than the Browns. No matter the scoring format, the Browns hemorrhage points to opposing running backs. The Browns have surrendered the second-most points to running backs this season and that puts Jennings squarely in the upper echelon of RB2.

Jennings comes into the game riding a hot streak. He has taken control of the Giants backfield and it has resulted in improved production. The Giants running game has finally woken up and Jennings is a big reason why.

He has averaged 86 yards in the last two games on the ground, adding one touchdown. He has also been a factor in the passing game with eight receptions for 66 yards. That is double-digit points each week, a number you will take from you RB2 weekly.

Expect Jennings to reach that number possibly by halftime against the Browns. They have given up some monster games to opposing running backs this season with 13 players going over double-digits in 11 games. They are on an eight-game streak of allowing double-digit points and Jennings should make that nine. He is playing the best he has all season and producing despite the Giants mangled offensive line.
