This is definitely a play looking to the future. Drafted out of UCLA, Paul Perkins turned 22 less than a week ago and is still getting out-snapped and out-touched by Rashad Jennings by a pretty wide margin.
But Jennings is on the wrong side of this situation when we look to 2017, seeing as this is his age-31 season. While Perkins isn't getting as much playing time as Jennings right now, he is still seeing the field quite a bit, and his playing time has recently been building, peaking at 30 plays (40.0% snap rate) in Week 10.
Perkins seems to be the running back of the future for the New York Giants, and like Dixon, he could be a lot cheaper right now that he will be next August.
