Joseph Addai gets tryout with Giants: Fantasy implications
Running back Joseph Addai had a tryout Wednesday with the New York Giants, who have just three running backs on their roster. We break down the fantasy implications.

Addai, a former standout with the Indianapolis Colts, was given a tryout along with running backs Mewelde Moore and Ryan Torain. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw is not 100 percent because of a foot injury and the team has just two other running backs on the roster -- Andre Brown and rookie David Wilson.
Fantasy Impact: There is nothing to get excited about here, other than to keep track of a former fantasy star like Addai. It would make sense for the Giants to consider another running back but a lot would have to go wrong for the Giants to turn to Addai or any of the other running backs they tried out.
Bradshaw is a middle-of-the-road No. 2 fantasy running back but continues to lose chances to Brown near the end zone. Brown will be a low-end flex play in most formats when the Giants return in Week 12.
