so i've got Bradshaw and David Wilson on my team (someone grabbed Andre Brown). If Bradshaw cant go what are your thoughts on who would get the bulk of the carries, Brown or Wilson. both have shown good things this year and preseason but i know Wilson had some fumbles which put him in Coughlin's doghouse.
as a secondary question, if Bradshaw IS out, who should i start in his place: David Wilson, Dwyer (vs CIN), or Pierre Thomas (vs TB)?
thanks! WHIR.

If this is a ppr league David Wilson could be the better play, he'll catch passes out of the backfield, and don't forget he is a kick/punt returner. However, Dwyer is more likely to get you some points this week whereas Wilson is more risk reward. I'd go with Dwyer if you are likely to win, but if you need a hail mary go with wilson.
I've never been high on Dwyer and with Ben playing well, they're likely to focus on the passing game. However, it depends on whether or not it's PPR, like someone else said. If so, I'd plug in Thomas. Bradshaw should start, so I wouldn't worry too much - it sounds like he was held out of practice just to avoid placing extra unnecessary stress on his foot. If absolutely necessary, go with Dwyer or Thomas over Wilson/Brown. The Giants are going to be busy passing all over Washington's terrible pass defense.
yeah i should have mentioned, it is PPR. after looking over Pittsburghs numbers i have realized they are one of the worst in the league in rushing this year, plus their center in injured.
i am leaning towards Thomas if Bradshaw cant go for whatever reason. i used him earlier in the season when Bradshaw missed time. He def benefits from PPR. i got lucky last week when i had MJD and Thomas both on bye and picked up Joique Bell as a 1 week fill in.
Thanks for the replies!
