He'll start, this guy breaks his neck or tears his ACL every week yet still plays. It's so weird.
But guys like DMC get nicked once and are out weeks.

x2 wilson would get Eli killed with his pass blocking

I found it interesting that he was out for an extended time vs the Saints, the game was quickly approaching out of reach status and the young stud rookie 1st rd pick that's his replacement was killing it. Bradshaw suddenly went from "questionable return" to getting meaningless carries late in the 3rd quarter of a blowout. Was he legitimately hurt or not? Strikes me as a vet that knows his end is shortly to come.

Inconclusive/incomplete analysis as Wilson has not been used on passing downs for more than a handful of plays in any one game.
At the same time, I think it's silly to think that part of the skill set is static. He's been working hard with the coaches and his FB tutor, Henry Hynoski. He knows what has held him back and what he needed to excel at to earn playing time.

The good thing about Wilson is that Bradshaw rarely practices, so it gives him all the first team reps and hopefully lots of time to work on his pass pro. Having said that, Bradshaw is a complete warrior and short of being unable to walk he's going to find his way back into every game he can. Can't trust Wilson for a major workload because of that, but he's shown that he can make a hug impact on less than 10 carries. I have him on my bench but he won't see the field over JC and AP as those 2 are on fire, but if I needed a huge upside RB2 and had weak options or had an open flex spot he could fit the bill.

starting him over Leshoure. Drafted Wilson. He has sat on my bench every week thus far.

If you own both Bradshaw and Wilson (I suspect many here do), and Bradshaw is active on Sunday, are you confident either gets enough production to be your RB2?

I'd probably try to go somewhere else, but would play Bradshaw over the 2. As long as Bradshaw IS playing, he will be starting and playing most downs and he will be playing at 100%. If he goes down though....you're screwed.

What a shock, Bradshaw is hurt AGAIN!!!! Captain questionable.
He gets hurt a lot, but the guy plays through pain like few other RBs do IMO. If he's active I will start him and hope for the best.

I'll be starting Bradshaw if he starts. But I really hope he sits & I can use Wilson.

If Bradshaw is active and practices at least one day this week, I will start him. If he doesn't practice at least one day, however, I won't. If I had Wilson, I wouldn't start him unless I knew Bradshaw were inactive, knew Bradshaw had not practiced at all this week, or needed to take a risk to win the playoff game.Either guy is a high risk/high reward play this week so it somewhat depends on your team and your opponent's team. Can you afford a 0? Do you need 20+? Or would you rather play someone else who could securely net you 10 points because the rest of your team is solid?

I disagree. If Bradshaw is a GTD and ends up playing, I don't see how he's a high reward guy unless he gets lucky with 2 or 3 power TD runs inside the 5. He's running on a bad wheel and any explosiveness he had won't be there. Wilson on the other hand is the definition of a high risk/high reward guy if Bradshaw plays. He'll of course get some carries, maybe more than usual with an ailing Bradshaw, and he's shown us how much he can do with very little. He could end with a stat line of only 10 carries but it could be for 80+ yards, with a TD.

Looks like one NY beat writer is saying he doubts Bradshaw even makes the trip to Atlanta.

You might be right, but I don't think this is an A, therefore B situation.

Tolerance for pain. One of the reasons McFadden is never on my redraft message board. That guy would be out 3 weeks for a hangnail.I'd rather have Bradshaw declared out than have a 1/2 Bradshaw in the lineup.

I'm not the biggest DMAC advocate in the world but I think his situation is different because his game is based largely on speed and cutting and his injuries are always to those critical pieces of his leg and foot that completely neutralize that.Guys like Bradshaw or Forte or Martin, oetc, on the other hand, can take some bumps and still be relevant.
Shutout
Footballguy
That would probably be the best info, one way or the other. I'd rather know definitively that he was out and go to plan B than wait for the GTD.

There's a reason McFadden gets ripped for his stick legs. Look at them. The guy's top half looks like a football player, and below the belt he looks like a sprinter. He does not have the physique you'd expect of a NFL RB.

Giants fan here living in the shadow of Metlife stadium.
There is no tougher NYG than Bradshaw, so it would shock no one he he suits up and plays. However, everything I have been reading and hearing so far is he WILL NOT play. He hasn't gotten out of the training room at practice. I fully expect Wilson to play the majority of downs. He has been spending late nights studying blitz pick ups, which tells me he will be playing a lot regardless of AB.
I am the owner of both players, and I'd rather have Wilson start than have AB and Wilson split obviously. Just my 2 cents.

add Jacobs to that list as well, freaking guy would take a couple of hits and run back to the sideline to check himself out
Thanks for sharing, Bro. It is always nice to get local info out for those of us in other market areas. We all seem to get the national generic stuff, but when you here what the smaller circles are discussing, it can be vital in our line up decisions.

I guess it depends on your scoring system, but I have both in a non-ppr distance scoring league, and I'm putting Wilson in there. Bigger upside for my system. Plus I didn't think Bradshaw looked right last week, even before the knee injury. Not sure if it his foot injury was hampering him, or he was rusty from no practice, be he was off. The knee can't help any. Maybe he gets a goal line plunge if he plays, but I'd rather roll with the healthy, explosive guy this week.'Superbowl Shuffle said:

If he can get a screen pass from Gomer, he can take it to the house. I could see Bradshaw suiting up but doing little as far as fantasy numbers this week. he's on the bench for Pierre Thomas.

Ahmad Bradshaw (knee, foot) did not practice Thursday.
Bradshaw's knee sprain has him extremely questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Paul Schwartz of the New York Post is betting that he doesn't even make the trip. Although freakish Robert Griffin III appears set to play through his Grade 1 sprain, it's normally a 1-2 week injury -- especially for running backs. Explosive rookie David Wilson is shaping up as a borderline RB1 candidate for the semifinal round of the fantasy playoffs. Dec 13 - 12:31 PM

another report here says AB may not make the trip to ATL. In my opinion, Wilson starts. At this point I think its a longshot that Bradshaw plays. Tomorrow will be the telling day. If AB doesn't practice on Fri than he's not playing.

Rotoworld:
Newsday has joined the New York Post and the New York Daily News in deeming Ahmad Bradshaw (knee, foot) unlikely to play in Week 15 at Altanta.
The Post has gone as far as to suggest Brashaw won't even make the trip to Atlanta. Giants coaches are finally expressing the utmost confidence in rookie David Wilson. "He did a terrific job for us [last week]. We're ecstatic," said OC Kevin Gilbride. "I didn't know he'd be able to run over a linebacker the way he did, which was tremendous to see. He's just getting better and better. I think his comfort level is growing and he's making fewer mistakes.

Speak english, what exactly does this mean??? And it is a complete joke that there is this much speculation. I think someone knows enough how much pain they are in. This game time decision BS is so damn annoying.

Speak English? It means that just because he wasn't practicing that day (A), that doesn't, in and of itself, mean that he's unlikely to play (B).

the only day Coughlin cares about vets practicing is Friday, today is the day, and if he doesnt practice I doubt he even makes the trip down.

I would LOVE a split situation - playing against the Bradshaw/Wilson owner in the SB

Reading the same thing at Rotoworld, KFFL, and FFChamps (except for the part about not practicing). I'd imagine if he doesn't practice at all all week, he's unlikely to play Sunday. Unfortunately for Bradshaw/Wilson owners, it's a late game next week and we may not know who's playing/starting on Sunday morning.

OK, any news on BRadhsaw for this week?

Yeah, wasn't there a comment somewhere that the Giants always announce guys who are out early, like by Friday night?
