Brandon Jacobs (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Eagles. Peyton Hillis figures to be the Giants' primary back against a Philly run defense playing a lot better than it's been given credit for. Hillis could still push for 20 touches, giving him some flex appeal for desperate fantasy leaguers. Michael Cox missed lanes in last week's win over the Vikings, and could see his workload reduced. Still, this is not a productive fantasy backfield. Jacobs' body is predictably breaking down entering a Week 9 bye. Andre Brown is expected to return from I.R./recall by Week 10.

Hillis is going nowhere on the ground this game but he's going to be an interesting safety valve for Eli considering nobody else other than him [Hillis] and Victor Cruz can seem to catch a damn ball! I'd say he's going to put up solid RB2 numbers, somewhere between 10-15 points in a PPR league.

Randle can catch lol

I specifically did not include Randle because he only gets like 5 targets per game! I'm not sure why though as he's clearly playing better than Nicks!
