In a 0.33pt PPR - None of these guys have a ton of value unless something changes ...

Ward - been reduced to waiver wire fodder, any TB homers have insight to anything positive on the horizon?

Moore - love the guy, Parker looks to remain with only a few carries a game or completely benched = plus would be the guy if anything happens to Mendenhall

McClain - still 3rd in line, seems a pure injury play

Harrison - just can't believe anything good can occur on my beloved Browns O this year (please remove Mangina immediately if not sooner)

Weaver - would expect to see goalline carries and could see 8-10 touches a game. Plus would be the guy if McCoy goes down.

Moore in PPR. In non-PPR, I guess Ward, but none of them thrill me in that format.

OtherI'd go with Danny Ware, who I would imagine is available in 99% of all leagues in any format.

He was always planned to be part of the rotation, but had an elbow injury on the season opening kickoff. Been active for a few games and just got his first touches Week 9. The Giants worked on a lot of 3rd down situation plays during their bye week and this week. With Bradshaw's lack of production since the Oakland game, and injury potential because of his cracked bone in his foot, I expect him to put up numbers similiar to Derrick Ward circa 2008 over the last 7 weeks.

Good point. I haven't seen any more info on Bradshaw's foot, don't know much about those kinds of injuries, isn't it the kind that people generally play with?

It's the fifth metataursal (think I spelled that right), which is a non-load bearing bone on the outside of the foot. Its a small crack, and from what I have read, he is not at high risk to displace it. That said, his declining production co-incided with the diagnosis. To be fair he was in a boot the week before that, not sure if the public announcement was the same time when Ahmad/TC got the info.

Anyway, Ware is a long, long shot...but in addition to Bradshaw's situation, you have Jacobs past injury history (8 games). Regardless, if neither of them miss any time, Ware is still going to be the 3rd down back for the stretch run. One of the things they decided during the bye week is to stop using Brandon for the Ward-type plays (e.g., plays that Derrick ran last year) and let him concentrate on north-south downhill running. Neither Jacobs or Bradshaw are good receivers, so the hope is Ware can be as effective in his role (east-west running and 3rd down routes) as Ward was a year ago.

 

[awesomeness]

Derrick Ward, and its not very close imo.

Great info Bobby - appreciate it.
