Week 9 at New York Giants
Kenyan Drake filled in after Josh Jacobs left against the Eagles before the bye last week and ended up with 69 yards and a touchdown on the ground, as well as three catches for 10 receiving yards. Drake has three touchdowns over his last two games, so hopefully, he’ll be a consistent part of the offense moving forward, with or without Jacobs.
This week, Drake faces a Giants defense that ranks 25th in aFPA to opposing running backs. It’s a nice matchup and should be a good game script for running the ball, so Drake has a chance to outperform his normal output. That being said, his workload makes him risky, so low-end flex or RB3 territory seems about right for him this week.
