Giants announce David Wilson as RB starter
David Wilson - RB - New York Giants
Dec. 16, 2012 - 12:00 PM ET
The Giants announced that David Wilson is starting at Atlanta in Week 15 with Ahmad Bradshaw (knee, foot) inactive.
The coaching staff still doesn't trust Wilson to know his assignments in blitz pickup, so Kregg Lumpkin will play on passing downs. The explosive Wilson, capable of grinding between the tackles and breaking off long runs to the edge, remains a good bet for 15+ touches as the primary early-down back. It's an excellent matchup against a Falcons defense allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing backs. We consider Wilson a viable RB1 option this week.
