New York Giants running back David Wilson has left Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles and is questionable to return after suffering a neck injury.
Wilson rushed the ball six times for 16 yards and a touchdown before leaving. He also narrowly escaped a safety on a run at the end of the first quarter.
Fantasy impact: Wilson’s season, even with that score, has been pretty brutal so far, disappointing everyone who invested a high draft pick in him. He sat at 130 total rushing yards and two lost fumbles through four games entering Sunday’s action.
The team released Da'Rel Scott earlier this week, leaving Brandon Jacobs as the team's top healthy running back option if Wilson were to miss some time.
Wilson is listed as “questionable” as of now, so keep an eye out. Jacobs, even if Wilson is out for some time, can’t be considered much of a fantasy value; he was unemployed only a few weeks ago.
