Injury Report for TNF: Giants @ Panthers

Sep 19, 2012

Giants

OUT
RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck), T David Diehl (knee), WR Domenik Hixon (concussion), WR Hakeem Nicks (foot), DE Adewale Ojomo (hamstring)

QUESTIONABLE
CB Michael Coe (hamstring)

PROBABLE
CB Prince Amukamara (ankle), LB Keith Rivers (hamstring), RB Da'Rel Scott (knee)

Panthers

OUT
G Mike Pollak (shoulder)

QUESTIONABLE
T Byron Bell (ankle), LB Thomas Davis (hamstring), S Colin Jones (shoulder), RB Jonathan Stewart (ankle)

PROBABLE
LB Jon Beason (elbow), C Ryan Kalil (ankle), WR Kealoha Pilares (foot), WR Steve L Smith (knee)

Fantasy Impact:

Andre Brown got most of the work in Week 2 when Bradshaw was knocked out of the game. He appears to be the handcuff at this point, though rookie David Wilson may have an opportunity to earn a larger role. For Week 3, Brown looks like the better play. At wide receiver, Ramses Barden played 47 snaps after Hixon was knocked out of the game. He appears to be ahead of rookie Rueben Randle (3 snaps) at this point.

With both Nicks and Domenik Hixon out, Ramses Barden should get first crack at snaps with rookie Rueben Randle not far behind. This has to be a downgrade for Eli Manning who will be without one of his biggest weapons. Martellus Bennett is also looking like a sneaky start.

The short week appears to be hurting Jonathan Stewart's chances of suiting up on Thursday. If he sits, DeAngelo Williams would once again be in line for a number of touches. He did not do very well in that role against the Buccaneers, but bounced back strong against the Saints. The Giants have been mediocre against the rush this year. Consider him a low-end RB2.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) has chance to play Week 10

CBS Sports

50 minutes ago

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Keaton Mitchell (knee) has a chance to play in Thursday night's matchup against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Related players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell tore his ACL in Week 15 last year but has been practicing fully since last week. He didn't play in Week 9 but could get the call in Week 10. We all remember how explosive Mitchell was last year and eventually had stand-alone fantasy value despite not being a bell cow type back. He probably won't be that this season either with Henry leading the way and Hill also showing he's productive. Mitchell will also likely be eased back in the lineup at least to start, but at some point Mitchell could perhaps take over Hill's workload if he can prove to be as dynamic as he was a year ago.

WR Amari Cooper, CB Christian Benford and FB Reggie Gilliam are all considered day-to-day, according to Bills head coach Sean McDermott.

Fantasy Impact:

It was a surprise that Cooper was inactive leading up to Week 9. Cooper did log limited sessions last week, so owners will want to pay close attention to this week's practice reports to see if Cooper can get in a full session. The good news for owners is Cooper and the Bills play an early Sunday game at the Colts, so owners should know in plenty of time to adjust their lineups based on Coopers game status.
