Fantasy News
Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brandon Jacobs left the Giants' win over the Falcons in the third quarter with a knee injury on Sunday, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.
Impact: He said he could have returned to the game were it necessary, but it certainly seemed necessary late in the fourth and overtime, and he was nowhere to be found. Definitely something to monitor this week if you are an owner. Rich Seubert - #69 - Tackle - 6'3" - 310lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Rich Seubert, who has battled a shoulder injury for much of the season, was seen leaving the team's X-ray room on Sunday afternoon, according to the New York Daily News.
Impact: Little else about his condition, including whether or not he even got X-rayed, is know. His status will likely be updated on Monday. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Hakeem Nicks was seen leaving the Giants' X-ray room after the team's overtime win against the Falcons on Sunday, according to the New York Daily News.
Impact: Nicks would not disclose whether or not he was actually getting X-rayed, but he has been fighting a foot injury in recent weeks. Stay tuned. Justin Tuck - #91 - Defensive End - 6'5" - 274lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tuck recorded four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
Impact: The sack was his first since Week 5. His stats have been a tad disappointing this year to say the least (32 tackles, 4.5 sacks), but hopefully he can muster up a strong finish to the season if he is no longer hampered by his shoulder injury. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jacobs did not return to Sunday's overtime win over Atlanta after hurting his right knee, the Daily News reports.
Impact: On the plus side, Jacobs who had 12 carries for 39 yards with a TD and two catches for 13 yards Sunday, said afterward, "I could've went back in during overtime, but coach wanted to be more explosive and we've got two great backs that had control of the game. It didn't really make any sense for me to go in." We'll track his status in the coming days. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Nicks was seen coming back from the X-Ray room after Sunday's game, the Daly News reports.
Impact: Nicks, who has been battling a foot injury, declined to reveal what part of his body was X-Rayed Sunday, so we'll need to see how he's listed once the Giants return to practice. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Mario Manningham was a standout in today's 34-31 win over the Falcons at Giants Stadium, as he caught six passes for a game-high 126 yards.
Impact: Manningham had his best game of the season since Week 2, when he caught 10 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown at rival Dallas. This was a strong effort for him while fighting with rookie Hakeem Nicks for targets in the passing game. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brandon Jacobs had 12 carries for 39 rushing yards and a touchdown in today's 34-31 win over the Falcons at Giants Stadium. He also caught two passes for 13 receiving yards.
Impact: Jacobs ended a two-game skid without reaching the endzone, and only scored three touchdowns for the season. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Eli Manning gunned down the Falcons in Sunday's 34-31 win at Giants Stadium, as he completed 25-of-39 passes for 384 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception.
Impact: Manning topped 300 passing yards for the second time this season, and fired eight touchdown passes over his last four games. The former Super Bowl MVP should be up to the challenge with a tough matchup at Denver on Thanksgiving Day. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brandon Jacobs went down with an apparent knee injury in the second half of today's game against Atlanta, according to Mike Garafolo's (Star-Ledger) twitter page.
Impact: Jacobs has dealt with knee issues throughout the season. Ahmad Bradshaw will handle the No. 1 role at running back while Jacobs is out. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Giants inactives: WR Ramses Barden, CB DJ Johnson, RB Gartrell Johnson, CB Kevin Dockery, MLB Antonio Pierce, T Adam Koets, T Guy Whimper, WR Sinorice Moss.
Impact: Chase Blackburn will start at middle linebacker in place of the injured Pierce, which is a downgrade at the position for New York. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: FOX Sports reports that Aaron Ross will make his season debut on Sunday, but only play in nickel coverage.
Impact: Ross has missed the entire season thus far with a hamstring injury and the Giants likely want to ease him back into action until he's fully up to game-speed. He clearly won't be 100 percent, but can still contribute when the nickel package is on the field. Chase Blackburn - #57 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 247lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Blackburn is starting at middle linebacker in place of Antonio Pierce (neck), Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports.
Impact: If you're in a pinch looking for an IDP option at linebacker, Blackburn could be a useful last-minute pickup from your waiver wire. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports.
Impact: No surprise here given the nature of his injury. Pierce will be replaced by Chase Blackburn at middle linebacker. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports.
Impact: Feel free to use him as you normally would, but keep in mind that Bradshaw has averaged 40.5 yards from scrimmage per game over the last four contests, scoring just twice during that span. His foot injury may be less of an issue after the bye week, but Brandon Jacobs could be in line for an even larger share of the workload in Week 11 after Bradshaw picked up just 2.8 YPC on 14 totes against the Chargers in Week 9. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports.
Impact: No surprise here as the Giants are coming off the bye, and he had extra time to rest his ailing foot. Atlanta is struggling against the pass, so Manning is a strong play this week, especially with the extra time that the Giants' coaching staff had to break down film of its defense. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ross (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports.
Impact: Just an FYI if you're in an IDP league that requires the use of corners, but you may want to see how much he plays in his season debut before making him part of your weekly lineup plans. Johnathan Goff - #54 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 236lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: There hasn't been any official confirmation on whether Chase Blackburn or Goff will start at middle linebacker in place of Antonio Pierce, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Blackburn filled in for Pierce in Week 7 last season, before finishing out the year as the weak-side starter, and is listed as second on the team's depth chart at middle linebacker. But there's still a chance Goff gets the nod, and whoever sees most of the snaps there will be a good source of tackles for the next several weeks. Chase Blackburn - #57 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 247lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Antonio Pierce out indefinitely, Blackburn is the most likely candidate to move into his middle linebacker spot, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Blackburn is a solid tackler and worth a look in IDP leagues in the event he takes over the role. Jonathan Goff is the other candidate to fill the role. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (foot) practiced again Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Bradshaw got more touches than Brandon Jacobs last week, but he averaged just 2.8 yards per carry. Expect the scales to tip back in Jacobs' favor this week. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Manning's foot may be healthier than it's been since the initial injury, and he has a terrific matchup against the Falcons' struggling pass defense. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ross (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta and will likely be a game-time decision, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Ross expects to play Sunday, but the Giants likely won't make a decision until they see how he looks in warm-ups. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The New York Giants have announced that linebacker Antonio Pierce will be out indefinitely with a bulging disk in his neck, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Ralph Vacchiano.
Impact: Bad news here for the Giants, as Pierce is one of their best defenders. He has 55 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery this season, so his loss is huge for a team that has struggled a bit on defense as of late. IDP owners will want to find a replacement, as it sounds like Pierce could be done for awhile. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
STATS
News: Pierce is out indefinitely after an MRI exam surprisingly revealed a bulging disk in his neck.
Impact: The 31-year-old Pierce originally sustained a burner when the Giants played Arizona on Oct. 25. He had very little discomfort until practice this week, when the club's medical staff scheduled the MRI exam. The Giants (5-4) host the Atlanta Flacons on Sunday. New York, coming off its bye week, has lost four straight games. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce is out indefinitely after an MRI taken Friday discovered a bulging disc in his neck, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact: Pierce wasn't listed on this week's initial injury report, but he won't play against the Falcons on Sunday. Jonathan Goff is listed as Pierce's backup on the Giants' depth chart, but Chase Blackburn may end up sliding over to the middle. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ahmad Bradshaw is "on the field and practicing" on Friday, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Impact: He will play on Sunday. Going up against Atlanta's bottom-rung run defense, he's an acceptable flex play. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Aaron Ross was a full participant in Giants practice again on Friday, and looks poised to play on Sunday, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Impact: This Sunday would mark Ross' first game of the season. Expect him to be eased back into the flow of things the next few weeks, and for him to not be playing at 100 percent until December. Danny Clark - #55 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 245lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Clark is rotating with Clint Sintim at strong side linebacker.
Impact: Clark is still the starter, but Sintim is in on pass-rushing downs. Neither are viable IDPs at this point. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ahmad Bradshaw returned to Giants practice on Thursday after resting his foot and ankle ailments on Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News.
Impact: He looks like he will be active for Week 11, and is a decent flex play against Atlanta's porous run defense. Clint Sintim - #97 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 256lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Sintim will continue to rotate with Danny Clark at the strong side linebacker position.
Impact: Sintim is a skilled pass rusher, but doesn't have much IDP value in his current role. Danny Ware - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 234lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ware should see more work going forward as the team's third-down back, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: He's still third on the depth chart, but he'll see some action on passing downs and would be in line for a more significant role should Ahmad Bradshaw aggravate his ankle injury. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Nov 19, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) scrapped his protective boot and practiced Thursday, the Daily News reports.
Impact: That's a good sign, as he has typically been sitting out Thursdays in order to maintain his foot/ankle issue. Bradshaw was officially listed as limited, but he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ahmad Bradshaw missed today's practice while nursing his foot/ankle ailment, according to the Falcons' official website.
Impact: Bradshaw had extra time to rest as the Giants are coming off their bye. He would have a good matchup against the Falcons' 28th ranked run defense if deemed fit to play Sunday. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Giants defensive back Aaron Ross practiced again on Wednesday, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. Ross is expected to make his season debut this week.
Impact: No setbacks yet for Ross, and it looks like he should be fine to play this week. The Giants will likely ease him back into action, so don't expect him to be out there for every snap this week. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning (foot) participated fully in practice Wednesday.
Impact: Count this as just another sign that Manning's foot is feeling better than it has in a while. He basically has a clean bill of health heading into Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, a game rife with NFC playoff implications. Lawrence Tynes - #9 - Kicker - 6'1" - 202lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tynes (knee) does not appear on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact: Tynes banged his knee during the Giants' last game, but the bye week provided him enough time to recover. He is safe to start Sunday against the Falcons. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ross (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: Ross, who has yet to play a game this season, has been targeting a Week 11 return. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he appears likely to meet that goal. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Nicks does not appear on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact: Nicks missed a practice during the bye week for an undisclosed reason, but it apparently wasn't anything that will limit him Sunday against the Falcons. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: Bradshaw typically rests on Wednesday, so there's no cause for concern here. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jacobs has averaged 5.1 yards per carry over the last four weeks, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Jacobs' problems from early in the year were due to running the departed Derrick Ward's plays which required more stopping and starting to which Jacobs, given his massive frame, is less suited. But the last four weeks, the Giants have had him run in more of the downhill style he did last year. With Danny Ware now back to handle more third-down duties, Jacobs can focus on power running. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning said his sore foot - an injury to the plantar fascia sustained in Week 4 at Kansas City - feels better after the week off, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
"The foot feels fine. It's not an issue; it's what I think is over with and done with," Manning told reporters Monday afternoon. "But I think a week off, not practicing, not putting any pressure or anything on the body or on the arm and everything, definitely helps and refreshes the whole body."
Impact: Manning should be considered healthy heading into the Week 11 matchup with the Falcons. Justin Tuck - #91 - Defensive End - 6'5" - 274lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tuck says the week off helped his left shoulder heal, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "It allowed me to do the strengthening work I needed to do, without having to practice and bang on it," Tuck said on a conference call with reporters Monday. "Gave it a lot of time to recover. It felt pretty good today; I'll probably do a little more work on it and have (Tuesday) off. I hope I'll be that much better coming up this week."
Impact: Tuck should be close to 100 percent Sunday, making him a must-start in IDP formats. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Aaron Ross (hamstring) practiced on Monday, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Impact: This means he's still on pace to make his season debut against the Falcons this weekend. He shouldn't see too many snaps, as the Giants are likely to ease him into the lineup Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, foot) sat out Giants practice on Monday, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Impact: Even after a bye week Bradshaw couldn't heal up his nicks and bruises. He should play this weekend, but there's no telling how effective he'll be as he continues to play through injury. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Eli Manning says the Giants' bye week has helped his injured foot feel better, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Impact: He has been dealing with plantar fasciitis since early October, and his play has slipped in that time. After throwing for 10 touchdowns in his first five games, he has thrown just five in his past four. It's hard to imagine the week of rest did not do him some good, however. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Nicks (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: No reason was given, and because it's the middle of the bye week, it's probably nothing serious. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ross (hamstring) was on the practice field Wednesday for the first time since September.
Impact: He's targeting the Week 11 game against the Falcons for his return. Gerris Wilkinson - #59 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 231lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Wilkinson underwent surgery Monday to repair a dislocated wrist suffered on Sunday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. With an expected recovery time of six-to-eight weeks, Wilkinson is likely headed to injured reserve, meaning his season is likely over.
Impact: The 2006 third-round pick is also in the final year of his contract, so his Giants career might also have come to an end as well. Steve Smith - #12 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Smith had eight catches for 57 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Giants' stunning 21-20 loss to San Diego.
Impact: It was the first score since Week 4 for Smith, who still qualifies as one of the NFL's biggest fantasy surprises. He's had eight catches each in his last two games, though, so perhaps he's starting to come around from a mini-slump. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jacobs had 11 carries for 67 yards Sunday in the Giants' stunning 21-20 loss to San Diego.
Impact: Jacobs hasn't topped 100 yards this season and has only scored twice, turning a player who was thought to be fantasy mainstay into a major question mark in the backfield. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning was 25 of 33 for 215 yards with two touchdowns, but the Giants lost 21-20 to the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact: Manning played about as well as he could, but the Giants lost their fourth in a row. He's still a risky fantasy play late in the season, particularly in the Meadowlands, where he's struggled with the elements in the past. Justin Tuck - #91 - Defensive End - 6'5" - 274lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tuck suffered an injury to his lower extremities late in Sunday's game but says it isn't serious and that he could have returned to the game for the team's final drive.
Impact: We'll see if he shows up on the injury report, but at first glance this isn't serious. Tuck had three tackles Sunday. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss had two catches for 17 yards and a score Sunday.
Impact: Boss hasn't seen a lot of looks this season, but he's a big red-zone target and scored his second touchdown in as many weeks. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Nicks had three catches for 39 yards and one rush for nine yards.
Impact: Nicks can make things happen when the ball's in his hands, but the Giants didn't target him heavily, and for now he's still the team's No. 3 wideout behind Steve Smith and Mario Manningham. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) had six catches for 52 yards Sunday.
Impact: He's still an important part of the team's offense, but the Giants need to protect Eli Manning better for Manningham to get more looks down the field. Steven Smith - #12 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Smith had eight catches for 57 yards and a touchdown Sunday.
Impact: Smith continues to be one of the most heavily targeted receivers in the league, though as the Giants' schedule has gotten tougher, his routes have gotten shorter. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle) had 14 carries for 39 yards Sunday. He also caught three passes for 27 yards.
Impact: Bradshaw's per-carry numbers are poor the last several games, but watching him run, it doesn't look like it's due to the ankle. The Giants offense has been out of sync generally, and predictable play calling and worse than usual blocking are the more likely explanations for Bradshaw's modest production. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jacobs had 11 carries for 67 yards Sunday. He also caught a one-yard pass.
Impact: Jacobs left the game briefly to have his knee examined, but returned shortly thereafter. He's been running well of late but between the play calling and the game situation, he continues to disappoint. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning completed 25 of 33 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't throw an interception, but took five sacks.
Impact: Manning played well given that he was under a good deal of pressure for most of the game, but it wasn't enough to avert the team's fourth straight loss. Lawrence Tynes - #9 - Kicker - 6'1" - 202lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Tynes (knee) officially hit both field goal attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chargers en route to an eight-point effort, but a botched snap on the opening drive (Tynes did not attempt the kick) cost him and the team thee points.
Impact: Tynes banged up his knee in the game, but with the Giants on bye this week, he should have plenty of time to heal up. "I took a helmet on the knee. I was standing there and got hit five different ways," Tynes said. "It's fine, just a little sore." Osi Umenyiora - #72 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 261lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Umenyiora picked up two tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against the Chargers Sunday.
Impact: It's good news that Umenyiora notched a sack for the second straight game, but the bad news is the Giants dropped their fourth straight game. Big Blue is on bye in Week 10, so they have some time now to try and right the ship. Danny Ware - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 234lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ware received his first carries of the season, running two times for nine yards in Sunday's 21-20 loss to San Diego.
Impact: Ware doesn't have a lot of fantasy value right now behind Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) on the depth chart, but considering that Bradshaw is one misstep away from being done for the year, Ware is not a bad pickup for those in deeper leagues. Gerris Wilkinson - #59 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 231lbs
Sun. Nov 8, 2009 |
STATS
News: Wilkinson will be sidelined up to two months following surgery to repair a dislocated right wrist.
Impact: Wilkinson was hurt in the second half of the Giants' 21-20 loss to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. The fourth-year pro had a team-high 12 special teams tackles, including on the opening kickoff of the second half. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Manningham missed last week's game and may not be all the way back to 100 percent, but he should be safe to start. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning (foot) is active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Manning is looking to break out of a three-game slump, but the Chargers won't be an easy defense to use as target practice. He's best used as a QB2 in most formats. Chris Canty - #99 - Defensive Tackle - 6'7" - 299lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Canty (calf) is active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Use him if you must, but we'd be more comfortable seeing him make it through a full game become recommending him as an IDP. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) is active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Bradshaw should be in line for his typical 10-14 carries against a vulnerable Chargers defense that surrenders over 130 rushing yards per game. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Boss hasn't been a very consistent fantasy option this season, but he is coming off his best game of the year (70 yards, one touchdown). Michael Boley - #52 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 223lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boley (knee) is active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: He may not be at full speed, so he's a risky fantasy play. C. C. Brown - #41 - Safety - 6'0" - 208lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown was demoted Friday to reserve free safety. He could play in some nickel or dime packages.
Impact: Brown made too many mistakes in coverage, and a change was long overdue. Aaron Rouse will start in his place. Aaron Rouse - #26 - Safety - 6'4" - 227lbs
Sat. Nov 7, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Rouse was promoted to starting free safety Friday in place of C.C. Brown who struggled in coverage this season.
Impact: Rouse isn't known for his coverage skills, either, but he can hardly be worse. Expect a fair amount of tackles and opportunities on pass plays Sunday. Aaron Rouse - #26 - Safety - 6'4" - 227lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
STATS
News: Riding a three-game losing streak, the Giants decided Friday to insert Aaron Rouse into the starting lineup at safety for Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers.
Impact: Rouse will replace beleaguered veteran C.C. Brown, who has been beaten twice on deep passes for touchdowns during the losing streak. Chris Canty - #99 - Defensive Tackle - 6'7" - 299lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Canty (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Impact: Canty expects to be ready, but you probably shouldn't consider him as an IDP until he proves he's fully healthy. Michael Boley - #52 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 223lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boley (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Impact: Boley may not be at full speed even if he does play, so you'll probably want to look elsewhere for IDP help this week. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Impact: Manning says his recent struggles are unrelated to his foot injury. That's both good and bad; it's nice to not worry about the foot injury, but it's troubling that Manning is playing so poorly while feeling healthy. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) is probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Impact: Bradshaw has been fairly quiet the last two weeks, but he's continually getting 10-14 carries per game, which gives him a leg up on many of the other RB2/RB3 options out there. The foot injury seems to be okay for now despite being just one misstep away from ending Bradshaw's season. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Impact: Boss won't be hindered by his ankle injury on Sunday, but his 70-yard effort last week was the first time he surpassed 50 yards since Week 1. He hasn't been consistent enough to be more than a replacement option. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, Giants.com's Pat Hanlon reports.
Impact: This is good news for Manningham owners, since a questionable designation would have made for some tricky lineup decisions. Now that he's expected to play, he can safely be used as a WR3 or flex in most formats. Michael Boley - #52 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 223lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boley (knee) practiced Thursday but was once again limited.
Impact: He has a chance to play Sunday, but it's unclear whether he'll be at full speed. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice, NFL.com reports.
Impact: Manningham's practice participation is encouraging, but we won't feel confident about recommending him until we see him listed as probable on Friday's injury report. If he gets a questionable tag, the Giants' late afternoon kickoff on Sunday will make him a somewhat risky play. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) missed practice again Thursday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: The Thursday rest plan remains in effect for Bradshaw, but he'll likely shed the walking boot on Friday and appear on the injury report with a "probable" tag. Michael Boley - #52 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 223lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boley (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Impact: There's a chance he'll return for Sunday's game against San Diego. Aaron Ross - #31 - Cornerback - 6'0" - 197lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ross (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Chargers but hopes to return after next week's bye, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: Ross is looking at a Week 11 return at the earliest. Domenik Hixon - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 182lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hixon (hip) participated fully in Wednesday's practice and is not listed on the injury report.
Impact: Hixon should be ready to go Sunday against the Chargers, but he's the third receiving option at best for the Giants. The potential return of Mario Manningham from a shoulder injury would push Hixon even further down the totem pole. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: The extent of Manningham's injury, as well as his availability for Sunday's game against San Diego, remains a bit of a mystery. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: Boss aggravated his ankle injury last Sunday, but should be ready to go for Week 9 barring a setback. He's been an inconsistent performer this season, topping 50 yards receiving just twice. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: Just part of the typical Wednesday plan for Bradshaw. He will be available Sunday against San Diego. Chris Canty - #99 - Defensive Tackle - 6'7" - 299lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Canty (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: Canty was able to practice last week as well and he expects to return to action Sunday against San Diego. He shouldn't be considered as a fantasy option until he shows he's healthy enough to be productive. Even then, he'll probably only be worth targeting in very deep IDP leagues. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) will practice Wednesday, though it's unclear if it will be fully, or in a limited capacity, the Newark Star-Leger reports.
Impact: More on the status of Manningham, who has an unspecified shoulder issue that kept him on the sideline in Week 8, as the week rolls along. Domenik Hixon - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 182lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hixon (hip) is sore after Sunday's game.
Impact: We'll know more about his status as the week goes on, but even if Mario Manningham's out and Hixon is fine, he's no better than the third option in the passing game at best. Michael Boley - #52 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 223lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boley (knee) is expected to practice Wednesday and could return Sunday.
Impact: We'll have to see how he looks during the week. Eventually he'll resume his job as starting weak side linebacker and give the Giants' defense a much-needed boost in playmaking and pass coverage. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss said his right ankle is "tender" after re-injuring it Sunday, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was after initially hurting it against the Chiefs, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Boss, who sat out the next game against the Raiders, appears to be in line to play Sunday.
Impact: Boss had a nice game last week but hasn't been a consistent part of the team's offense so far this year. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jacobs rushed for 86 yards on 20 carries in Sunday's 40-17 loss in Philadelphia.
Impact: After running for 104 yards in the season's first two games, Jacobs has averaged nearly 75 yards over the last six and 4.1 yards per carry. Steve Smith - #12 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Smith had eight receptions for 68 yards in the Giants' 40-17 loss in Philadelphia on Sunday.
Impact: Smith already has a career-best 662 yards this season and need four receptions to tie his 57 from 2008. If Mario Manningham remains out with injury, he could be Eli Manning's top target. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning struggled once again in throwing two interceptions in a 40-17 loss in Philadelphia on Sunday. He was 20 of 39 for 222 yards and a touchdown.
Impact: Manning has six of his eight interceptions over the last three games. He also has 13 TDs with at least one in every game. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Nicks had four catches for 53 yards Sunday, but his streak of four straight games with a score was snapped.
Impact: With Mario Manningham out, Smith had an opportunity for a big game, but the Giants offense never got into sync. Steven Smith - #12 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Smith had eight catches for 68 yards Sunday.
Impact: Smith is still Eli Manning's favorite target, but the team just isn't moving the ball as consistently as it did early in the year, and Smith's numbers have suffered as a result. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss had three catches for 70 yards and a touchdown Sunday.
Impact: The touchdown catch was a tough one with Boss spinning to his outside shoulder and laying out for the ball. He's got great size, good hands and above-average run-after-the-catch skills, but hasn't been used all that regularly in the passing game this year. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (foot) had nine rushes for 21 yards and a score.
Impact: It was a quiet game, but there's no indication that his foot was an issue. He could aggravate the injury at any time and be done for the year, but for now it appears he's okay. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jacobs had 20 carries for 86 yards and two catches for 21 yards Sunday.
Impact: There's nothing wrong with Jacobs, but his team is out of sync, and that means less carries, less goal-line carries and defenses that are rested and not off balance. If and when the Giants get it together, Jacobs should resume his status as a top 10-15 back in standard leagues. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning played poorly for the third straight game Sunday, completing just 20 of 39 passes for 222 yards (5.7 YPA), one touchdown and two picks, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Manning also insisted that his foot was not an issue: "It feels great. It hasn't bothered me all week. I'm not taping it, I'm not doing anything with it any more. That's not an excuse I can fall on."
Impact: Manning and the entire Giants offense have been out of sync for three weeks now. We've seen Manning go through stretches like this in the past, and he usually snaps out of it eventually. Next week's home game against the Chargers is a good matchup for him. Osi Umenyiora - #72 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 261lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Umenyiora had three tackles, a sack and a forced fumble against the Eagles Sunday.
Impact: Umenyiora also had a touchdown called back when it was ruled Fred Robbins used an illegal forward pass to get the ball to Osi. It was just one of many things that went wrong for the Giants in the 40-17 loss. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Tom Coughlin said that Manningham, who was scratched Sunday, "didn't seem to be real comfortable just going through the jog-through" on Saturday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: When asked if Manningham has a separated shoulder, Coughlin said, "separation, sore shoulder, whatever." In any case, Manningham will head into Week 9's game against the Chargers with a question mark attached to his status. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Mario Manningham (shoulder) out Sunday, Nicks is in line for a larger role against the Eagles.
Impact: Domenik Hixon will start in place of Manningham, but Nicks could be the receiver who benefits more from Manningham's absence. Domenik Hixon - #87 - Wide Receiver - 6'2" - 182lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Mario Manningham (shoulder) out Sunday against the Eagles, Hixon will start in his place.
Impact: Hixon has just 51 receiving yards in five games this season and doesn't becoming a very appealing fantasy option even with the starting nod. Hakeem Nicks may be the one who ends up benefiting most from Manningham's absence. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Impact: Pierce is safe to deploy as an IDP for this important divisional tilt. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) is active against the Eagles on Sunday.
Impact: Bradshaw is walking on thin ice with the cracked bone in his foot, but as long as it remains manageable, he shouldn't be downgraded for injury reasons. He can safely be used this week. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Impact: Domenik Hixon is the official starter in place of Manningham, but look for Hakeem Nicks to become a larger part of the Giants' offense as well. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham will not play Sunday against Philadelphia, ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown reports.
Impact: The official inactive list should confirm this shortly, but it looks like Manningham needs to be benched this week. Hakeem Nicks will assume a larger role. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) jogged and caught passes in pre-game warmups but was "non-commital" on his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles, NFL Network reports.
Impact: Several media outlets report he'll play and Manningham had been quoted saying he'd play, but this creates some doubt. Check the inactive list before kickoff. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (shoulder) told the NFL Network's Bob Papa he expects to play Sunday against the Eagles. "I'm good to go," Manningham said.
Impact: You'll want to wait until we post the inactives list before finalizing Manningham's spot in your lineup, but he should be available barring a late setback. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Sat. Oct 31, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: If Mario Manningham (shoulder) is limited or needs to sit out Sunday against the Eagles, Nicks would be thrust into a larger role, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. "He certainly has a big role, anyway," coach Tom Coughlin said. "But certainly, you would expect more. But let's hold out for the best."
Impact: Nicks is a must start already in deeper leagues, but could be a top-20 receiver by season's end if Manningham were to go down or lose targets due to poor play. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manningham is inactive for Sunday's game in Philadelphia. He hurt his left shoulder on the last play of practice Thursday and was held out of the team's final workout the following day.
Impact: Manningham has started six of seven games this season, catching 28 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns. If he cannot play, Domenik Hixon or rookie Hakeem Nicks would see more action. Nicks has caught touchdowns in four straight games. Chris Canty - #99 - Defensive Tackle - 6'7" - 299lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Canty (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday and wouldn't rule out playing this week, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: It's more likely he'll return in Week 9 against the Chargers, or in Week 11 after the bye. Either way, Canty should be bolstering the team's interior line soon. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Pierce missed Wednesday's practice but has practiced the last two days and should be ready to roll against the Eagles on Sunday. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Bradshaw revealed Thursday that he could be one misstep away from a broken foot, but the tenuous status of his right foot hasn't slowed him thus far. He can safely be used Sunday against the Eagles. Chris Canty - #99 - Defensive Tackle - 6'7" - 299lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Canty (calf) practiced again Friday but has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: His return to practice this week should give him a decent chance of returning Week 9 against the Chargers. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Tom Coughlin announced Friday that Manningham hurt his shoulder on the last play of Thursday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports. However, Manningham told the Newark Star-Leger he fully expects to play Sunday. "You all will see me out there Sunday," Manningham said. "I'm going to be alright."
Impact: Coughlin said Manningham is still sore, which forced him to spend Friday's practice riding the stationary bike on the sideline. Even if he plays Sunday, his value takes a bit of a hit because he might be slightly limited by the injury. If he were to be inactive, Hakeem Nicks would assume a much larger role. Michael Boley - #52 - Linebacker - 6'3" - 223lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boley (knee) was in pads and working during the media access portion of Thursday's practice, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Boley won't play on Sunday, but there's a chance he could be ready for the following week against the Chargers. Otherwise, he'll likely be back in Week 11 after the bye. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Though Bradshaw will continue to play despite having a cracked bone on the outside of his right foot, he acknowledges the possibility that he could be a misstep away from a broken foot, the Daily News reports. "It's a cracked bone in my foot, on the outside of my foot, which is probably the easiest bone to break," Bradshaw said Thursday. "There's a chance of it breaking all the way through the bone. If it does, I'll have to get surgery then."
Impact: Bradshaw added, "if it breaks, it does, and I'll get surgery. If not, I'll wait to the end of the season and hopefully then I won't need it. But more than likely I'll plan on having surgery." It remains to be seen how much this will affect his workload going forward, but as long as Bradshaw does not become tentative as a result of the injury and is able to make decisive cuts, he can still be effective, as long as his foot holds up. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw has a cracked bone in his foot but will continue to play through the injury, according to Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter.
Impact: How effective Bradshaw can be through this injury is anyone's guess. More specifics as we get them. In the meantime, push Brandon Jacobs up a bit on your season-long cheat sheet. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
STATS
News: Bradshaw will continue to play despite having a cracked bone in his right foot.
Impact: The third-year running back disclosed the injury on Thursday, a day after going to North Carolina to be examined by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. Anderson's diagnosis was the same as the one Bradshaw got from Giants' physicians, a cracked fifth metatarsal. Bradshaw, who has gained 455 yard rushing, has seemingly known about the injury since the spring but has played in pain. He hopes to finish the season, but acknowledged the bone might break. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: We'll check back on Pierce, who has 19 tackles in his last two games, after Friday's practice. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw, who has been battling ankle and foot issues for most of the season, went to see a foot specialist in Charlotte, N.C., Wednesday afternoon, the NY Daily News reports.
Impact: Coach Tom Coughlin did not discuss Bradshaw's absence at his morning press conference Wednesday, and the Giants did not provide any details in their post-practice notes. For now, it's unclear whether the visit is just to optimize Bradshaw's treatment or a sign that Bradshaw might need to miss some time. Steven Smith - #12 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 195lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Smith said his drop in production over the past two games is partly because he's finally being treated like a No. 1 receiver, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. But this week, he'll see plenty of 1-on-1s against the Eagles corners.
Impact: Smith thinks he'll have an easier time getting open this week and have a good chance for some big plays as a result. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Giants' official site reports.
Impact: You know the drill by now with Bradshaw. He'll rest early in the week but be ready to play by Sunday, especially with a crucial divisional tilt against the Eagles on tap. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.
Impact: Coach Tom Couglin made no mention of Pierce's injury when delivering a "pre-practice" injury report, so the details on this are still fuzzy. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
STATS
News: Bradshaw traveled to North Carolina to have his bothersome right ankle examined by specialst Dr. Robert Anderson. There was no immediate word Anderson's diagnosis for the injury that has kept Bradshaw out of practice most of the season.
Impact: Bradshaw has missed Wednesday and Thursday practice most weeks while wearing a boot to protect both his sore right ankle and foot. He worked on a limited basis last Wednesday. Despite the injury, which Bradshaw said resulted from his days in college, he has rushed for 455 yards this season. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss (general soreness) participated fully in practice Wednesday and does not appear on the Giants' injury report.
Impact: Boss was shaken up after a mammoth hit from Antrel Rolle on Sunday night, but his availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles won't be affected. Philadelphia is getting scorched by tight ends recently, allowing an incredible 361 yards and four scores to TEs over the last three games. Kevin Boss - #89 - Tight End - 6'6" - 253lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Boss said he just has "general soreness" in his head and neck region, though he had no brain injuries (i.e. a concussion) to report after taking a huge hit from Antrel Rolle on a catch Sunday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact: Boss also said the ankle he hurt a few weeks ago is fine. His status for Wednesday's practice is unclear, but he should be good to go against the Eagles this week. Mathias Kiwanuka - #94 - Defensive End - 6'5" - 265lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Kiwanuka notched a sack against the Cardinals in Week 7.
Impact: The Big Blue sack attack has quieted down a bit as they had two against Arizona and none against New Orleans in Week 6. Things won't get much easier in Week 8 when they take on the Eagles. Philly did not allow any sacks by the Giants in either of their two regular season games or their playoff contest in 2008. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Manning was 19 for 37 and threw one TD and a season-high three interceptions in a 24-17 loss to Arizona on Sunday.
Impact: Manning was also sacked three times Sunday after being sacked three times all season. When Manning's protection is breaking down, fantasy owners should beware since the former Super Bowl MVP can struggle with pressure in his face. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Bradshaw carried 12 times for 32 yards and lost a fumble Sunday in a 24-17 loss to Arizona.
Impact: Bradshaw's 2.7 per carry average was his lowest of the season. Fantasy owners should beware of using him against Philadelphia next week. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jacobs carried 13 times for 76 yards and one TD on Sunday in a 24-17 loss to Arizona.
Impact: Jacobs had at least 16 carries in New York's 5-0 start. In the Giants' two losses, he has a total of 20. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |

News: Smith had four catches for 69 yards Sunday in a 24-17 loss to Arizona.
Impact: Smith had 34 catches in his first four games, but just 10 in the last three. Fantasy owners should beware of using Smith in future games. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs

News: Bradshaw had 12 carries for 32 yards Sunday.
Impact: He also lost a fumble while fighting for extra yards on a key drive in the fourth quarter and drew a personal foul for unnecessary roughness on the next series, and did not return to the game. Nonetheless, the team needs Bradshaw, and he should still be a big part of its plans next week against the Eagles. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs

RotoWire
News: Manningham had four catches for 47 yards Sunday.
Impact: He also had a bad drop on a deep ball that would have set the Giants up on the two yard line. The Giants are still targeting Manningham all over the field, but while he's capable of making great plays, his route-running and hands are still inconsistent. Hakeem Nicks - #88 - Wide Receiver - 6'1" - 212lbs

News: Nicks had four catches for 80 yards including a 62-yard touchdown on a deflected pass Sunday night.
Impact: Nicks somehow finds a way to score every week (it was his fourth straight with a score). And though he was lucky to catch the tipped ball, he outran the entire Cardinals defense after grabbing it. The Giants also targeted Nicks on a fade in the end zone, but he was well covered. Steven Smith - #12 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 195lbs

News: Smith caught four passes for 69 yards Sunday.
Impact: He was hardly targeted until the fourth quarter and made some terrific catches when finally given the opportunity. Smith should continue to be heavily in the mix, but don't expect his early season production until Eli Manning and the entire offense get back into sync. Brandon Jacobs - #27 - Running back - 6'4" - 264lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jacobs had 13 rushes for 76 yards and a touchdown Sunday. He also had two catches for 11 yards.
Impact: Jacobs looked like his old self, but between poor play-calling (running on obvious downs) and poor execution (drives stalled) Jacobs wasn't able to amass his usual 20 carries. The team's offense was the issue Sunday - there's nothing wrong with Jacobs. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs

RotoWire
News: Manning played poorly again Sunday, completing just 19 of 37 passes for 243 yards, a touchdown and three picks. He also took three sacks.
Impact: There's been no indication that his foot is bothering him other than his poor play, and it's not so much the throws as his decision-making. Manning is throwing to receivers who are well covered and locking in on them too often. It won't get any easier next week in Philadelphia. Danny Ware - #28 - Running back - 6'0" - 234lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Ware (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact: As the No. 3 running back behind Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, Ware's value is limited at the moment, however. Antonio Pierce - #58 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 238lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Pierce (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact: Pierce has been a steady producer the last three weeks with nine tackles in Week 6 and eight in each of the previous two weeks. Ahmad Bradshaw - #44 - Running back - 5'9" - 198lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Bradshaw (ankle/foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact: Feel free to roll with Bradshaw, who usually gets his rest mid-week, as you normally would Sunday. Mario Manningham - #82 - Wide Receiver - 5'11" - 183lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manningham (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact: Manningham is still the Giants' primary big-play threat on the outside, although Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks will figure to get their looks downfield. Eli Manning - #10 - Quarterback - 6'4" - 225lbs
Oct 25, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Manning (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact: Arizona slowed Seattle's passing game in Week 6, but it's worth noting that they were the league's weakest group in that department over the first five weeks of the season. |
