Giants "most excited about" David Wilson

Jul 25, 2013

The New York Daily News listed Giants RB David Wilson as their pick for "Potential Breakout Star":

When the Giants let Ahmad Bradshaw go (to the Colts) it cleared the way for their spectacular, 2012 first-round pick in the backfield. Yes, he’ll share the workload with Andre Brown, but Wilson is the guy the coaches are most excited about. He has electric speed and jaw-dropping moves and he’ll have plenty of opportunities to flash both. He just has to prove he can hold onto the ball and block a little, too.

Fantasy Impact:

GM Jerry Reese said that David Wilson could be a "lead back," but didn't anoint him the starter in 2013. Andre Brown figures to get all of the goal line work and may eat into Wilson's touches in the Giants' base offense as well. Don't forget that Brown averaged more YPC (5.3) than did Wilson (5.0). But it certainly sounds like the Giants want Wilson to be "the guy."

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
