Running Back Rank: #22
Overall: #56
Bradshaw got his first shot as being full-time starter at running back and did well in the role. He finished with more than 1,500 total yards and scored eight touchdowns. He had four 100-yard games and made it through a full season for the first time in his career. He apparently played the last six games of the season with a broken wrist, which didn't seem to hamper him. Bradshaw also needed minor surgery on his ankle during the offseason, which is somewhat of a concern considering all his ankle issues in the past. Bradshaw is in the prime of his career at age 25. In the last two seasons, he averaged 1,267 total yards and eight touchdowns. Bradshaw is a shifty back with elite speed. He has home run potential with the ball in his hands. Bradshaw isn't the biggest back, though, which lends him to injury but he proved last season he can play a full season.

Bradshaw is an injury risk, but he has a ton of potential. He can top last year's numbers if he plays a full season. He is an elite No. 2 back for fantasy teams, capable of getting 1,800 total yards and around double-digit touchdowns. Bradshaw is one injury risk worth taking a chance. |

| New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and QB Eli Manning said Monday, Feb. 6, that RB Ahmad Bradshaw scoring the late game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XLVI was the right thing to do in that situation. 'In the back of my mind, always, was the touchdown,' Coughlin said. 'I didn't care how much time we had left ... the thought about the touchdown was always there.' Manning added, 'It's a tough situation as you're thinking about what to do. I think you have to score a touchdown. I have great confidence in (kicker) Lawrence Tynes, but you just don't want to leave anything to chance. We could have kneeled it and run out the clock. But if something flukey happens and we miss that field goal, you feel terrible.' |

| New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw said following Super Bowl XLVI he tried to stay out of the end zone on his game-winning touchdown; however, his momentum carried him in. 'I tried (to stop),' Bradshaw explained, 'but my momentum just took me in. All I could do after that was hope that they wouldn't score.' |
| Fantasy Impact: It could have been a huge play but things worked out well for Bradshaw and the Giants in the end. |
