Brandon Jacobs

Peyton Hillis expected to be the primary option in Week 10

Giants RB Brandon Jacobs practiced Wednesday and appears set to return after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Andre Brown (broken leg) looks like he’s going to be activated from the Injured Reserve/Designated to Return list by the end of the week. Peyton Hillis and Michael Cox held down the fort the past few weeks.

Hillis will be a big part of Sunday’s plan. He played well in his first two games with the Giants, the only two games they’ve won this season. He ran for 106 yards and a touchdown in those games, and proved reliable as a pass blocker.

Hillis is expected to be the primary option with Jacobs and Brown sprinkled into the equation.

Brown said earlier in the week he had a special package of plays. But having not played a game in over two months, HC Tom Coughlin didn’t appear set to have him carry a heavy workload.

“He’s ready to help,” Coughlin said. “But there is a big difference between game day and practice.”

Fantasy Impact: 

In the last two games, Hillis turned 46 touches into 166 yards and a TD. It sounds as if Coughlin wants to ease Brown into the mix, though we believe he has the most upside in the Giants' backfield.

Running back Andre Brown was given a package of plays in practice today but how the carries will be split among the team’s four running backs on Sunday against the Raiders has yet to be decided.

Brown, who suffered a second fracture of his left fibula in the final preseason game at New England, and veteran Brandon Jacobs practiced today, as did Peyton Hillis and rookie Michael Cox. Running back David Wilson’s injured neck was re-examined today, coach Tom Coughlin said.

“The coaches just told me to be ready,” said Brown, who averaged 5.3 yards per carry and scored eight touchdowns last season before suffered a fractured left fibula in a Nov. 25 game against Green Bay.

Fantasy Impact: 

Brown said he will get a special package of plays and the team wants to ease him back into football shape. With Wilson not likely back this week, Brown could split time with Jacobs and Hillis, but the division of carries is anyone's guess. Brown's worth adding but is shaping up to be a risky play this week.

New York Giants running back David Wilson, who has not played since injuring his neck in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 6, will have an MRI on his neck this week that Dr. Robert Watkins will review to determine when or if he's able to play again this season, a league source told ESPN.

It is the second MRI that Watkins will examine, and he wants to compare it to the first to see how much Wilson's neck has healed.

Fantasy Impact: 

Wilson's MRI is today according to beat writers. There was a talk a few weeks back that Wilson could play this week if all went well, but that may not be the case depending on how this MRI turns out. Andre Brown looks like he'll return this week, however, so there is no need to rush along Wilson. But it does seem like the results of this MRI will go a long way to determine his fate for the rest of this season.

Andre Brown, a fourth-round pick by the Giants in 2009, will join newcomer Peyton Hillis, who has carried the load the past two weeks, veteran Brandon Jacobs and rookie Michael Cox in a crowded backfield. Wilson (neck) is scheduled to be re-evaluated early next week.

"Andre is definitely going to fit in," Giants running back coach Jerald Ingram said. "He’s very athletic. He catches the ball well out of the backfield. He can run the ball. He has good speed.

"He’s that multi-purpose back that can do a lot of things on first, second and third downs where the other two guys (Hillis and Jacobs) are big, strong, powerful, downhill guys."

Fantasy Impact: 

As the story points out, once Brown is activated, the Giants will have to make a roster move. Among their options are releasing Jacobs or placing Wilson on injured reserve, ending his season. They could release another player as well. Brown is worth picking up if he's on your wire.
