The New York Giants offense was largely missing in action during Monday’s 24-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, although fantasy owners relying on their running backs did receive boosts from Orleans Darkwa and Paul Perkins.
Darkwa found the end zone, while Perkins broke free for a 67-yard reception off a screen pass. Even Bobby Rainey was somewhat productive in the passing attack.
All three saw time because New York’s running back situation is rife with injuries. Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com noted before the game Rashad Jennings is dealing with a thumb injury but could have been available in emergency, while Shane Vereen is out for the year with a triceps setback.
