Start Sit: Ahmad Bradshaw

Despite a Week Six explosion, New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw has been a disappointment. He is not getting many more than 10-12 carries a week and is not catching passes.

With that reality, news of a stress fracture in his foot casts Bradshaw down the start decision ladder. Now one must ask whether the risk of a defensive player targetting the foot and sending BRadshaw to the sidelines early in a game is worth taking if one has a Jamal Lewis sitting on the bench.

If the RB has no competition and an average match-up, Bradshaw sits. This week, the Eagles enter the game with the 8th fewest rushing yards allowed over the past three games and 11th fewest over 2009.
