New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw was at practice on Thursday, a day after sitting out because of an injured foot. Bradshaw carried the ball 57 times for 316 yards in the last two games heading into Sunday's contest with the Washington Redskins.
Bradshaw has a history of foot injuries and could yield some carries this week to Andre Brown, who was cleared for contact earlier this week after sustaining a concussion. David Wilson could also see some action against the Redskins.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners should know more about Bradshaw later in the week, as he was scheduled to practice on Thursday. If there are no setbacks, he remains the running back to own in this backfield. He may not get 30 carries but would be a No. 1 fantasy option at RB this week if he’s healthy.
Brown could be considered for a flex play as he appears to still be ahead of Wilson, for now. Wilson is worth stashing away as he seems to be getting stronger as the season goes along.
