Ahmad Bradshaw unlikely to play in Week 15

Dec 14, 2012

The Giants have not changed RB Ahmad Bradshaw's status for Sunday, but he missed a second straight practice Thursday and seems unlikely to play against Atlanta. OC Kevin Gilbride said the Giants would lose an emotional leader and a lot of toughness without him on the field. Bradshaw, however, holds out hope of playing. "You listen to him, he's not sure it's lost," Gilbride said. "But we'll see."

The New York Daily News added this: Tom Coughlin refused to rule anything out on Wednesday, and there is still one more day of practice this week, but Bradshaw wasn't even in the fieldhouse when the Giants began practicing on Thursday. He's missed the last two days due to his sprained left knee, and it is believed that rookie David Wilson will end up starting in his place against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

David Wilson would be a nice start if Bradshaw is out. The Falcons are #23 in RB aFPA, so the matchup is pretty good. He'd be in store for a big workload with Kregg Lumpkin as his backup.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
