ANALYSIS

Player Analysis: Ward is a young back who came over from the Jets. He is a decent runner with average physical skills. He was the main backup RB between the 20s, and showed some running ability. He has pretty good size, and can take a few hits. As the backup, however, he won't take many snaps.

Fantasy Football Impact: Even though Ward is listed at no.3 on the chart, he will probably take most of the snaps between the 20s if Barber goes down. Though Barber is small and getting older, he hasn't missed a game since 2001, so Ward has little if any value.

 
RECENTLY BREAKING NEWS

RB Brandon Jacobs to Miss Showdown With Cowboys - 12/12/2008
Source: Associated Press

RB Brandon Jacobs will miss this Sunday's showdown with the division rival Cowboys. Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw will split the carries in his absence, with either 2nd year RB Danny Ware or vet Reuben Droughns to be the 3rd string running back.

Fantasy Impact: Ward and Bradshaw are very capable in their own right, but picking one to have a fantasy impact this week (in what is a playoff week for most of you) would be like flipping a coin. If I had to guess, and thankfully I don't, I'd go with Derrick Ward.

After just one full week of preseason action, several teams find themselves needing to make injury replacements.

 

Sore Arrington doesn't practice - 08/07/2006
Source: AM New York, Newsday

ALBANY - Linebacker LaVar Arrington sat out both of yesterday's practices, but don't be alarmed. At least that's what he said.

Fantasy Impact: If he is telling the truth, don't shift him on your charts. Move Ward down though, since he may have trouble getting more time now with his foot.

 

Two RBs run into trouble - 08/07/2006

ALBANY - The importance of keeping RB Tiki Barber healthy was magnified yesterday when both of his backups were sidelined with potentially serious ailments.

Fantasy Impact: With Tiki on the wrong side of 30, this is a bad sign for the Giants, who have to keep Tiki fresh.

 

Giants shuffle players as injuries hit offensive line, backfield (AP) - 08/07/2006

The New York Giants have gone from healthy to hobbled in less than two weeks of training camp. Missing from practice Monday were linebacker LaVar Arrington (knee swelling), running back Derrick Ward (broken foot), guard Chris Snee (knee), and defensive tackle William Joseph (leg bruise). Backup running back Brandon Jacobs skipped the earlier session after experiencing an irregular heartbeat.

Fantasy Impact: Not good to see so many injuries in training camp. Move all the Giants down until they get healthy.
