2010 Fantasy Football Sleepers: Running Backs

Aug 27, 2010

Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, New York Giants – Bradshaw averaged 4.8 yards per carry in 2009, despite playing with stress fractures in both feet and bone spurs in his right ankle. He had offseason surgeries to fix those issues, and reports this season have suggested he has the upper hand on Brandon Jacobs to be the Giants’ starting running back. His receiving ability may give him more fantasy upside than Jacobs, even if a tandem ends up occurring. Do be aware of Bradshaw’s injury history, but don’t necessarily be scared off by it if the price is right on draft day.
