Giants | Orleans Darkwa expects to play

New York Giants RB Orleans Darkwa (back) doesn’t know if he’ll practice this week, but he does expect to be able to take the field in Week 4. Darkwa will receive treatment for tightness in his tweaked back.

Footballguys View: That’s cool, but fantasy owners aren’t expecting much from Darkwa…or any Giants RB at this time. Darkwa and Paul Perkins are not running the ball with much authority or effectiveness. Shane Vereen isn’t lighting the fantasy world on fire either. It might lead to more opportunity for rookie Wayne Gallman, but for now Darkwa is the guy that could get more work with Perkins’ ineffectiveness.
