New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw did not practice on Thursday, marking the second straight day he's been held out this week. Bradshaw has been dealing with a foot injury but coach Tom Coughlin had hoped that Bradshaw would be able to practice on Thursday.
Ahmad Bradshaw misses another practice, Week 8 fantasy value on hold
New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) was held out of practice for a second straight day. We break down the fantasy implications.

Bradshaw ran for 43 yards and a touchdown last weekend against the Washington Redskins. The injury was reported after the team's win over the San Francisco 49ers. Bradshaw, who has had a history of foot injuries, said it was stepped on against the 49ers. The Giants face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact: There is a little concern among beat writers about Bradshaw, who carried the ball a lot in the two games prior to the one against Washington. Andre Brown would likely get some carries in place of Bradshaw, even if Bradshaw is active on Sunday.
Friday’s injury report should give fantasy owners a better sense of Bradshaw’s health for this weekend. He is currently a fringe No. 1 fantasy running back for Week 8.
