Ahmad Bradshaw is expected to be a limited participant in practice Thursday for the New York Giants, according to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger. Bradshaw has routinely been limited during early-week practices this season due to a nagging foot injury.
Ahmad Bradshaw limited in practice Thursday: Fantasy implications
Ahmad Bradshaw will be limited in practice Thursday with a foot injury, per his usual routine. We break down the fantasy implications.
Brad Penner-US PRESSWIRE
Bradshaw is gearing up to play Monday night against the Washington Redskins. With Andre Brown now on injured reserve, Bradshaw could see an increased role going forward with the Giants.
Fantasy Impact: David Wilson is expected to step up and take backup carries behind Bradshaw, and perhaps enter into a timeshare. He isn't expected to take on the goal-line work that Brown had usurped from Bradshaw, however. Bradshaw's fantasy value increases significantly if he is given the opportunity to pound the ball near the end zone.
The Redskins have a solid run defense, giving up just 4.1 yards per carry and seven total rushing touchdowns on the year. Bradshaw is worth Flex consideration in standard leagues, but he is by no means a must-start.
