David Wilson undergoes minor hand surgery

The New York Daily News

Mar 22, 2013 · 10:52 AM EDT

David Wilson told the Daily News Thursday that he recently had minor hand surgery to remove a bone chip in his palm.

"It happened awhile ago," Wilson said. "I didn't want to do it, like, before the season. But it was already chipped. So (they) just take it out so it won't be floating around."

Wilson was still sporting several black stitches running from his palm down his wrist on Thursday. The injury is hardly serious, though, he said, and he's not expecting to miss any time because of it. In fact, Wilson said he has been training at the Giants facility the last several weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

With Ahmad Bradshaw out of the way, the Giants will turn to a David Wilson/Andre Brown backfield in 2013. While Wilson is getting most of the press, keep in mind that Brown was playing ahead of Wilson when healthy. Brown will at a minimum get most of the goal line touches, putting a dent in Wilson's upside.

The Giants intend to let RB Andre Brown split carries with David Wilson in their back field, so he’ll probably get a second-round tender ($2.02 million). Although his original round is a fourth-rounder and he’s had injury issues, so maybe this is where they try to save a few bucks, thinking no one will want to give him big money and surrender a pick that high. I’m not sure it’s worth the risk, though. For $700,000 more, why not just lock up a player who might start on Opening Day?

Fantasy Impact:

At the very least, Brown will be the Giants' goal line back, which puts a significant dent in David Wilson's upside. Brown performed well in 2012, so he could end up in a RBBC with Wilson, who doesn't seem built for feature back duties anyway.

The truth sometimes hurts and Andre Brown admitted he was “sad’’ to learn he would no longer share the offensive backfield with Ahmad Bradshaw. It did not take long for that reality to set in and for Brown to set his sights on the No. 1 running back job.

“Oh yes, I’m going to prepare to be a starter,’’ Brown said. “That’s the dream job right there, to go out there and start and play for the New York Giants. I would love to do that. I’m going to put as much work as I need to put in to prepare for that role, if it happens to be me, put that faith in them that they can rely on me.’’

The Giants do not release key players without some tangible plan and, with Bradshaw purged from the roster, Brown and David Wilson are the obvious replacement parts. The two are completely disparate in their running styles; Wilson is a blur, Brown is a load.

Yet their totals from last season were similar. Brown had 73 rushing attempts, 385 yards (5.3-yard average) and a team-high eight rushing touchdowns. Wilson had 71 rushing attempts, 358 yards (5.0-yard average) and four TDs. Wilson as a first-round draft pick is a starter in waiting, but Brown was ahead of him on the depth chart before he broke his left fibula Nov. 25 in a rout of the Packers.
