The Giants announced this afternoon that Brandon Jacobs will sit out action to heal a knee injury that has been bothering him all month. Coach Tom Coughlin announced it to national media earlier this afternoon.
What does this mean fantasy wise? Derrick Ward will get the start for the G-men. Start him in emergencies, simply becuase the Dallas defense is in the top 10 in rushing yards allowed.
