Running Back Rank: #13
Overall: #18
Bradshaw played with a cracked bone in his foot for a decent part of the season but still performed pretty well. Bradshaw missed just four games but scored a career-high 11 touchdowns. He finished with 926 total yards, averaging 77.2 total yards per game. Bradshaw had just one 100-yard game but had double-digit carries all but one of the games he played. His chronic foot issues are a concern going forward but at age 26, Bradshaw still has plenty left in the tank at this stage of his career. He is the top back for the Giants and should carry the load at running back as long as he is healthy. Bradshaw has 19 touchdowns the last two seasons and topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2010. Bradshaw is a shifty back with elite speed. He has home-run potential with the ball in his hands. Bradshaw isn't the biggest back, though, which lends him to injury but he is a tough back that plays through pain and still performs.

Bradshaw is an injury risk, but he has a ton of potential. He can top last year's numbers if he plays a full season. Plus, he has been finding the end zone on a regular basis, which is another plus for his fantasy value. Consider him an elite No. 2 back for fantasy teams, capable of getting 1,600 total yards and around double-digit touchdowns. Bradshaw is one injury risk worth taking a chance because of his huge potential. |

| New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw said he is looking forward to working with RB David Wilson and helping him learn the team's complex offense. "He's a very talented running back and he's from Virginia. Two Virginia guys in this running back corps is going to be dangerous. I expect to use him as my project to get him better, to get him smarter and just to mature him a little bit, just to help him understand the NFL,' Bradshaw said. |

| New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and QB Eli Manning said Monday, Feb. 6, that RB Ahmad Bradshaw scoring the late game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLVI was the right thing to do in that situation. 'In the back of my mind, always, was the touchdown,' Coughlin said. 'I didn't care how much time we had left ... the thought about the touchdown was always there.' Manning added, 'It's a tough situation as you're thinking about what to do. I think you have to score a touchdown. I have great confidence in (kicker) Lawrence Tynes, but you just don't want to leave anything to chance. We could have kneeled it and run out the clock. But if something flukey happens and we miss that field goal, you feel terrible.' |
