Peyton Hillis likely to be third down back in Week 6 vs Eagles

Despite having played only 6 snaps to Andre Williams' 30 snaps after Rashad Jennings went down in the 3rd quarter of the Week 5 game against Atlanta, Peyton Hillis will likely be the Giants third down back this weekend against Philadelphia. At this point, when compared to Andre Williams, Hillis is a much better pass blocker and is more sure handed in the passing game. (nj.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Williams will still see the lion's share of snaps and will be the Giants lead back in Weeks 6 and 7, holding high WR2 value. Although Hillis will likely be called on for third down/passing plays, he presently holds no fantasy relevance and should remain on waiver wires.
