I would suggest it as well. Davis has more upside right now IMO.

Davis has upside and talent, but will he get the carries needed to give him value?

You have Jacobs as your #2RB in a run heavy NYG team and a safety net in Bradshaw when Jacobs gets hurt. I would keep Bradshaw and would think he can put up numbers close to what Ward did last year.

Am I missing something did James Davis get named the starter in Cleveland? Last I looked he was a good player that is surprising people but 3rd on the depth chart.

I guess I'll be the lone ranger here... but I say no, keep Bradshaw.

He will still be heavily involved b/c he's such a versatile back and the Giants o-line will open up some great holes for him. He'll also get a number of passes his way... dude is talented.

Also, Brandon Jacobs (while a beast) is very vulnerable to going down at some point during the year. And when he does, Ahmad's value explodes.

I think both backs are probably equally as talented and yes Davis is in a better situation to succeed according to the latest news. But don't let hype make up your mind for you.

You have Jacobs so it's even more important to have Bradshaw in case he goes down. Davis is a hit or miss this year - we don't know how well he'll do in the regular season just yet.

I'd keep Bradshaw. He's behind one of the most injury-prone starting RBs out there on a team that likes to run and has a dominant offensive line. Davis has a lot of hype this year, but has not been named the starter, and IMO is looking at a committee as his most likely option. And Cleveland is a terrible football team.

please help me

I'd rather have bradshaw, davis is too speculative and bradashaw has known value especially as a Jacobs owner.
