Description: Giants running back Andre Brown (broken fibula) has been placed on injured reserve/designated to return. SOURCE: Ohm Youngmisuk, ESPN New York | Insight: Brown suffered the injury Sunday night. It's an unfortunate situation for a player who has battled through serious injuries since his rookie year and been cut seven times. He's played a big role in the Giants offense behind brittle starter Ahmad Bradshaw, scoring eight touchdowns and finding the end zone in five straight games. Rookie David Wilson will have to step up for New York. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown broke his fibula Sunday night against the Packers. | Insight: It's an unfortunate situation for a player who has battled through serious injuries since his rookie year and been cut seven times. He's played a big role in the Giants offense behind brittle starter Ahmad Bradshaw, scoring eight touchdowns and finding the end zone in five straight games. Rookie David Wilson will have to step up for New York. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown has quietly found the end zone in six of his last seven games, including four straight. | Insight: Since returning from a concussion, Brown has served as New York's goal-line back. Ahmad Bradshaw will have the bye week to recover from his foot injury so we'll have to see how New York utilizes Brown in Week 12. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown has been diagnosed with a concussion, according to ESPN New York. | Insight: Ahmad Bradshaw is back and healthy -- he carried it 30 times for 200 yards in Week 5 -- so Brown won't have much fantasy value going forward. David Wilson scored on a long TD run as well in Week 5 so Brown's backup role may also be in jeopardy if he doesn't recover quickly. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown left Sunday's game against Cleveland with a head injury. His return is unknown. | Insight: Bradshaw should take over as a workhorse back with still-in-the-doghouse David Wilson as his backup. | | |

Description: Andre Brown was unable to match his breakout performance in Week 3 Sunday night versus the Eagles. The Giants halfback carried the ball just five times for 14 yards. | Insight: As good as Brown was last week against Carolina (113 yards and two touchdowns), it looks like his impact will be limited now that Ahmad Bradshaw is healthy again. Bradshaw saw the lion's share of the carries for New York on Sunday night, rushing the ball 13 times for 39 yards. | | |

Description: According to Ralph Vacchiano on the New York Daily News, Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said running back Andre Brown has "really changed the dynamic of our run game" and said the team will try to determine "what plays certain guys run a little more effectively than others." | Insight: With starter Ahmad Bradshaw likely to play Sunday night against the Eagles, Gilbride suggested the team will play the hot hand, which right now is Brown (184 yards, 3 TDs in last two games). However, neither guy can be trusted as starting fantasy running back if both are active. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown had a career night Thursday against the Panthers, rushing for 113 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in relief of an injured Ahmad Bradshaw. | Insight: Meanwhile, David Wilson received one carry. As long as Bradshaw remains out, consider Brown a RB2, even in 10-team leagues. He's looked that good in his last two games, carrying 33 times for 184 yards (5.6 ypc) and three touchdowns. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown has been announced as the starter Thursday against Carolina with Ahmad Bradshaw inactive. | Insight: Bradshaw left Sunday's game with a neck injury and Brown carried 13 times for 71 yards and a touchdown while rookie David Wilson got three carries for six yards. Brown should get the majority of the touches Thursday so give him a start at the flex. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown should start Thursday against Carolina now that Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) has been ruled out of the game. | Insight: With Bradshaw leaving the game early Sunday, Brown carried 13 times for 71 yards and a touchdown while rookie David Wilson got three carries for six yards. "I thought Andre did a nice job," Coughlin said. "He certainly was the focal point once Ahmad came out of the game. David (Wilson) has his plays and certainly will get some more time as well." Consider Brown a nice flex play. | | |

Description: Giants coach Tom Coughlin wouldn't elaborate on the extent of running back Ahmad Bradshaw's neck injury, but ESPN New York speculates that Andre Brown could start Thursday against Carolina if Bradshaw were to not play. | Insight: With Bradshaw leaving the game early Sunday, Brown carried 13 times for 71 yards and a touchdown while rookie David Wilson got three carries for six yards. "I thought Andre did a nice job," Coughlin said. "He certainly was the focal point once Ahmad came out of the game. David (Wilson) has his plays and certainly will get some more time as well." Consider Brown a nice flex play if Bradshaw is out Thursday. | | |

Description: Giants running back Andre Brown was the one to take over for Ahmad Bradshaw after Bradshaw exited Sunday's game with a neck injury, not rookie David Wilson. | Insight: Brown carried 13 times for 71 yards and a touchdown while Wilson got three carries for six yards. The important thing to take away from this is that if Bradshaw is healthy his job is safe; Brown isn't going to cut into Bradshaw's playing time like we thought Wilson would. | | |
| 3/31/2012 2:52:00 PM |
Description: Running back Andre Brown was suspended for four games due to violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. | Insight: This couldn't have come at a worse time as this was likely going to be his chance to earn some playing time behind Ahmad Bradshaw. Brandon Jacobs' signing with San Francisco left an opportunity, but now the Giants will likely look elsewhere for a No. 2 running back. Given Bradshaw's injury history, the backup role could be important for fantasy owners. | | |

Description: The NY Giants, in a bit of a surprise move, have cut RB Andre Brown.
SOURCE: GIANTS.COM | Insight: This now leaves Darius Reynaud and Danny Ware as the primary backups to Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. This move should tell us that HC Tom Coughlin fully believes both Bradshaw and Jacobs are healthy. At his current ADP, Bradshaw continues to be one of the best "steals" on the draft board. | | |
