Summary

Running Back Rank: #20All Players: #40

Wilson was a big factor in the running game late in his rookie season, having double-digit carries three of his last four games. He scored four touchdowns during that stretch and had a 100-yard game. His overall rookie season wasn't too impressive but he showed enough for the Giants to make him their No. 1 back for this coming season. He'll be given first shot to carry the load for the Giants. Wilson is an explosive back. He has electric speed and great moves in space. He also is a top receiver out of the backfield and return man. Wilson isn't a great inside runner as of now, though, and will need to become a little more patient to become a top NFL starter. Wilson also doesn't seem to have the makeup to be a good short-yardage back, so he could miss out on some touchdowns.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Wilson has high upside for the coming season. We really like his total yardage potential in this offense, having the possibility to get 1,600 or so total yards. The big concern is his touchdown totals. Even if he doesn't get the goal-line work, he can still get eight or so touchdowns. Consider him a low-end No. 1 or top No. 2 back for fantasy teams.

Notes

Jun 17 10:51 am

New York Giants RB David Wilson's number of kickoff returns will be affected by his workload at running back, hinted special teams coordinator Tom Quinn. 'We'll see how that all plays out,' Quinn began. 'Obviously, he would like to do it. He's done it very well, but we'll have to see how it all comes down with where he is on the depth chart and what he's doing on offense. It might be maybe for one or two or you don't need him for one or two, but we've got other guys that we feel good about. They feel good about the scheme and the system that's in place.' In other words, however much time Andre Brown earns over Wilson in the backfield affects however many kickoffs the Giants will feel that Wilson can handle. Fantasy owners, in most formats, would prefer to see the smallish Wilson participate on special teams less often, but that sounds unlikely unless he becomes the featured back -- which is unlikely. Still, he's obviously an intriguing RB2 or RB3.

Jun 10 10:48 am

New York Giants RB David Wilson said he is not concerned about splitting carries with RB Andre Brown in 2013. 'I ain't worried about the carries, I'm not worried about yards, or who's got the most touchdowns. I'm just worried about both of us working together and being effective for the team and having a positive running game.'
Fantasy Impact: This is a good attitude for Wilson, who has a lot of upside for the coming season in an expanded role.

Jun 07 06:13 pm

New York Giants running backs coach Jerald Ingram said he believes RB David Wilson is in position to earn the starting running back job during training camp. 'I think he's grown. He has a fairly good understanding of the offense right now. He's definitely in position to be the guy, but I think just like what we've done in the past here, we're going to be a rotation type team and what certain backs do best, we'll play. I think he's a playmaker. He's definitely going to contribute and help us out. There are some goals that he has to accomplish for us. He's definitely on a better track than he was a year ago in understanding our protections and doing those kinds of things,' Ingram said. Wilson has attended every offseason workout this offseason.

The New York Giants likely will continue to use RB David Wilson as their kick returner after unable to sign Oakland Raiders WR Joshua Cribbs. It was believed Wilson would have his return duties reduced because he is expected to be the starting running back.

May 11 02:32 pm

New York Giants special teams coordinator Tom Quinn said he believes RB David Wilson can still be a kick returner this season even though he is expected to be the starting running back. 'With his expanded role (in the offense), we'll see where it leads,' Quinn said. 'He said he'd like to do both, but it all depends on the game and his carries and what his role is in the offense.'

Mar 25 10:50 am

New York Giants RB David Wilson said he does not expect the starting running back job to be handed to him and is ready to compete with the other running backs on the roster for the job. RBs Andre Brown, Ryan Torain and Da'Rel Scott are also expected to compete to playing time.
Fantasy Impact: Wilson should be the starting back unless he has a really poor offseason and training camp. It is his job to lose.

The emergence of New York Giants RB David Wilson this past season made it easier to part with RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, knee). Wilson rushed for 358 yards and four scores, and also set a franchise record with 1,533 kickoff return yards.
Fantasy Impact: Wilson has a chance to be a big-time fantasy player in 2013.
