Ahmad Bradshaw
Ahmad Bradshaw | New York Giants | RB
Height: 5-9 Weight: 198 | Born: 3/19/1986
2011 Experience: 5th season
Fantasy Football Outlook: After Ahmad Bradshaw tested the free agent waters and found out that it’s a buyers market, he worked his way back to the Giants and signed a four year deal. Look for Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs to split the carries in much of the same way they did last year.
That will make Bradshaw the starter and gives him value as a top twenty option for standard redraft leagues, and a possible top fifteen in PPR fantasy leagues. One area of Bradshaw’s game I would like to see improve is his fumbling issues as he coughed up the football seven times last season. Still, the Giants continued to use him as an active part of the offense, despite the fumbles and were willing to bring him back, as he provides them a play-maker in the backfield.

2011 June
It’s hard to know what to make of Ahmad Bradshaw’s fantasy value because we don’t know if he will have the chance to test free agency, or if he will remain with the Giants. Basically it all comes down to if four year veterans have the right to test the free agent market or if the league decides to keep them restricted free agents in the labor disputes.
If Bradshaw is to stay a Giant, he is worthy No.2 running back in fantasy leagues as he broke out last season taking over the starting job from Brandon Jacobs. While Bradshaw has his fumbling issues, he did total over 1,500 yards from scrimmage on the season with 47 receptions to give him added value in PPR leagues.
2010 Preview
Ahmad Bradshaw is the starting running back for the Giants and a top twenty five option at his position most weeks. Look for Bradshaw to provide steady points at your flex play position.
2010 Fantasy Football Outlook
2009 Fantasy Year In Review: I thought Ahmad Bradshaw was primed for a good season last year as Brandon Jacobs backup, and he did post respectable numbers. Bradshaw posted a 4.8 yard per carry average for 778 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. It seemed he always had explosion and was clearly the best running back for this team in 2009.

2010 NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings: Bradshaw had to have surgery on his ankle and both feet this offseason but late in June, he was running with the team in OTA’s. If it wasn’t for Bradshaw’s durability issues, he might have been able to unseat Jacobs this season if the big running back started out slow.
Instead the Giants will probably have to lean on Jacobs like it or not for another season as Bradshaw just doesn’t seem to stay healthy enough to take a full load. Still, Bradshaw will cut into Jacobs overall production and could provide a spark for your team if Jacobs goes down for any time.
