Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 30, 2013 Andre Brown suffered a fractured left leg in the Giants' preseason finale Thursday night. It's the same leg Brown fractured last season. It's a significant blow to the Giants' backfield depth, as the team will now likely be forced to keep rookie Michael Cox and kickoff return-type Da'Rel Scott as the backups to David Wilson. Wilson's fantasy value soars in the process, however. He's now likely to open the season as a true-every down back with no threat for passing-down or goal-line work. The Giants may strongly consider making Brown their injured reserve/designated for return player. But at the very least he's going to miss a huge chunk of the season. David Wilson owners rejoice! Your draft pick is now fantasy gold with goal line carries! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted August 30, 2013 Wilson's ADP just skyrocketed. Really wish I had him in redraft but at least I've got 3 years of Zealots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted August 30, 2013 Wow, what a gift to Wilson owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted August 30, 2013 Passed on him for a better keeper, but could of had him for a 8th. Wish I had a do over. This puts him after CJ but before Murray and that group? What do y'all think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 30, 2013 Yea I drafted Wilson in one league and have Andre brown in another. However brown was my 4th RB in the other league so I'm not too hurt. But Wilson in my other league as my rb3 is golden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted August 30, 2013 Woah so glad my draft was last night and not tonight is all I have to say. Got Wilson in the 3rd round. I was expecting him to be the Chris Johnson of the NFC from a few years back. Get tons of yards, break off huge plays, catch a lot of dump offs but lose the goal line carries to Brown (Lenwhale White). That was my ONLY concern with Wilson this season and it's now gone. Now the only concern is the same concern for every player in football, injury. Would love to see Wilson's ADP rise if this injury happened, say, 2 weeks ago. This is huge news for Wilson owners.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted August 30, 2013 Any guess to Wilsons new value? Who u got him over and under? im thinking right above cj0k and right below Forte? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 30, 2013 Any guess to Wilsons new value? Who u got him over and under? Believe it or not I got him in round 5. NO ONE in my work league wanted to take a risk on him since Brown was gonna get goal line carries. I was skeptic as well but 5th round was waaaay too good of value to not pick him up. Now he will most likely be going in round 2 with some people possibly taking him in round1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thePRO 78 Posted August 30, 2013 I would love to draft from the 3-5 spot now for my big draft on Sunday! I still think I could go Martin - Marshall - Wilson or something like that. Top 3 RB, top 5 WR, and another RB who just got a boost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From all the reports coming from camp Wilson has gotten better at pass protection. He might not be the best guy at pass protection but he's come a long way from what everyone is saying. I think the giants will put more pressure on him to step up his pass protection and will work with him even more now that their security blanket for pass pro is gone but I still thin Wilson will stay in every down now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see how excited Eli is throwing from his back. Look back on what I said. Did I say anywhere that he sucked? No. I said he has improved a lot from last year. Now that he is the main back they will be putting even more pressure on him to improve further since they no longer have brown.

d'eaux boy 5 Posted August 30, 2013 Things just seem to keep going in my favor this preseason. We drafted almost two weeks ago. Luck looks he's going to have a great season, Forte is predicted to dominate, I was able to pick up Thompkins as a FA the week after our draft to back up Amendola, etc. I thought I was pretty weak at TE with Bennett, but if B. Marshall misses time, I might luck out. And now this. I hate to see anyone get hurt, but as a Wilson owner I can't say I'm upset about it. If CJ gets his mojo back and Welker doesn't suck the life out of Decker, I should kick ass this season. This is the best I've felt about my team in years.

Now that he is the main back they will be putting even more pressure on him to improve further since they no longer have brown. Try to read first before trying to sound like you know everything So they didn't want to pressure him before because he was 1/2 of a tandem. Got it. I imagine the conversation went something like this: Coach: Hey Wilson, you're getting Eli killed, but that's cool cause you're not as bad as last year. Wilson: Thanks coach. I interpret Eli calling me a mother###### after he got drilled as a term of endearment. Coach: Well, Andre is down so you're it. I hereby anoint you a better pass protector as opposed to the mediocrity you provided in that aspect before. Also, you need to really do better, before we didn't care if you got him killed, but we figured out we kind of need him. Wilson: Thanks coach. I'll put on my +7 pass protecting shoes with my strength cloak and will suddenly be good at it. No worries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually considering of picking up Thompkins just for the upside. He's currently undrafted in my league and I don't normally have more than 4 wrs on my team just cause I normally only rotate 3 with the 4th as my back up in case the 3rd wr I rotate in gets injured. But I like his upside so I'm thinking of snagging him then once he starts doing good trade him and a RB away for an upgrade at rb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
