</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The Giants' carry divide between Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs worked perfectly last season, and will likely remain relatively similar this year. Bradshaw's rushing attempts may fall a bit from his career-high 276, but they should still be in the 240-250 range. He'll be safe to draft as a RB2 in all formats.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Jacobs received just 147 totes but averaged an impressive 5.6 yards-per-carry. Now that he's taken a paycut and Ahmad Bradshaw is back as the starter, expecting a significantly higher workload doesn't seem very realistic no matter what Coughlin says. The 2011 Draft Guide projects 171 carries this season for Jacobs.

It's great to hear considering Bradshaw's history with ankle issues, but he's still being overdrafted in fantasy leagues. He closed out the final month of last season in a near-even timeshare with Brandon Jacobs, and the Giants want the latter more involved this year.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Jacobs didn't take well to losing his lead-back job last summer. He ended up taking a paycut to keep Ahmad Bradshaw in New York this year. "He loves me, man," Bradshaw said. "I respect him more than anything for doing that." We wouldn't be shocked to see Jacobs lead the team in touchdowns as well as rushing yards this year. Bradshaw is still being drafted too high as a committee back.

Check back Friday afternoon for his official Week 9 status. Brandon Jacobs would be a top-20 fantasy back if Bradshaw sits out.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>"Word is that's not the way it looks right now," beat writer Mike Garafolo tweeted in regard to Bradshaw's potential Week 11 return. Bradshaw remains week to week with a crack in his troublesome foot. Operating as the Giants' feature back in the meantime, Brandon Jacobs has racked up 36 carries and six catches in two starts. He'll be a solid RB2 play against Philadelphia.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Bradshaw suggested he could test his foot in the next couple of days, but he's not expected to play against the Eagles. Considering his history, Bradshaw remains a major injury red flag from Week 12 through the end of the fantasy playoffs. As long as he's on the field, though, there should be RB2 value. D.J. Ware can be dropped in all redraft leagues.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Bradshaw is being re-evaluated today, but New York is not expecting good news. That, of course, is very bad news for the Giants' floundering rushing attack, which has all but ground to a halt with Brandon Jacobs as lead back. Jacobs is averaging only 48.5 yards per game and 3.2 yards on 61 carries as New York's starter the past few weeks. He's unlikely to find much success against Green Bay's 13th ranked run defense.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>"If I’m out there, you’re going to see everything," he said. Bradshaw is shaping up as a true game-time decision after sitting out the past four weeks, but will be more likely than not to play if he doesn't experience any unusual soreness on Saturday. With just one practice under his belt in the past five weeks, Bradshaw will be an extremely dicey fantasy proposition if he's active.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Bradshaw looked close to full speed against the Packers, but was held to 38 yards on 11 carries as the Giants' offensive line again struggled to clear running lanes. He'll be in for a timeshare with Brandon Jacobs against the Cowboys after Jacobs had one of his best games of the season Sunday. Both are just flex plays in 10-12 team leagues for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.
