Is Ahmad Bradshaw A PPR Viable RB?

Coming into the season, the expert community assumed Bradshaw would get the receptions departed RB Derrick Ward received in 2008 (41). Instead, he has just six through the Giants' 1st five games.

While this stat already surpasses the five balls he caught in 2008, it is still on pace for 18 catches on the season. A total that is decidedly un-PPR favorable.

Like Tony Romo last week, is this the week you give-up on Bradshaw as a 2-3 receptions per week option?

Black And Blue Report: Eli Manning

Will Carroll's Black & Blue Report at Football Outsiders:

"While we all know the 'any given Sunday' mantra of the NFL, facing the Raiders with an injury to Manning at least has to make the Giants think 'we could get away with David Carr, couldn't we?' Eli Manning is ranked fifth overall by DYAR (second among Mannings)."

Not much new on the injury, but the high ranking of Eli by FO is notable. Gives the start/sit decision between Kurt Warner and the younger Manning brother a little more consideration.

Week Three Start/Sit Pierre Thomas

Looking at a choice between New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas, New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw and Washington Redskins WR Santana Moss at my Flex.

I am leaning towards Bradshaw against a horrible Buccaneers defense.

Thomas worries me a little with all the talk of Lynell Hamilton and a concern about the knee.

Moss is intriguing as he gets a bad Lions team on turf. Looks like the typical 1 in 5 Moss explosion.

Start/Sit Week Three

At Flex in a PPR, Jacksonville Jaguars WR Michale Sims-Walker or New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw?

Sims-Walker faces a bottom 10 Houston Texans' passing yards allowed defense, but a league worst rushing yards allowed defense. Bradshaw faces a putrid Tampa Bay Bucanneers defense that cannot stop the pass or the run, but splits time with Brandon Jacobs.

Fantasy Football: New York Sleeper WRs

In PPR formats, the New York Giants Steve Smith looks like a 5/60 WR. In non-PPR formats, Giants' WR Domenick Hixon looks like a 3/60 WR.

The New York Jets Chansi Stuckey and David Clowney look like Domenick Hixon types right now. Unfortunately, there is no clear differentiations between the two. Half a Hixon is not good.
