News and Notes
Nov 5 RB Brandon Jacobs has yet to record a 100-yard rushing game this season. "If you had told me that at the beginning of the year, I would have totally buried you," he said of his personal dry spell. "I've been taking what they've been giving me, and trying to make something out of it. If anyone is due for (a 100-yard rushing game), it's definitely me." Yahoo! Sports

Nov 2 Jacobs had 20 carries for 86 yards and two catches for 21 yards Sunday.

Recommendation: There's nothing wrong with Jacobs, but his team is out of sync, and that means less carries, less goal-line carries and defenses that are rested and not off balance. If and when the Giants get it together, Jacobs should resume his status as a top 10-15 back in standard leagues.

Nov 2 Jacobs rushed for 86 yards on 20 carries in Sunday's 40-17 loss in Philadelphia.

Advice: After running for 104 yards in the season's first two games, Jacobs has averaged nearly 75 yards over the last six and 4.1 yards per carry.
