Andre Williams, RB, New York Giants

Rashad Jennings is definitely still the top back in New York, but the Giants are starting to click offensively, and they get to play the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5 in New Jersey. In the Thursday night blowout over Washington, Andre Williams tallied 15 carries for 66 yards and a touchdown, all career highs.

The Falcons, despite looking like juggernauts in Week 3, were just torched on the ground by the Minnesota Vikings, who rushed 44 times for 241 yards (5.5 yards per carry) and 4 touchdowns.

Currently, Jennings is on pace for 360 total touches by season's end, and he was limited in the blowout victory over Washington. It's not a guarantee that Williams will get a huge workload, but double-digit carries against this defense could be enough to make an impact if you're hurting at running back.
