Thu, 16 May 2013 15:05:55 -0700 New York Giants RB Andre Brown could be poised to start in 2013. "This is my year," Brown said. "I have to go out there and I have to produce. I feel like this is a very important season and I have to go out there and show the world what Andre Brown is made of." Fantasy Tip: Brown will compete with David Wilson for the starting job in 2013, but the end result may be closer to a split in carries. Keep an eye on how the two running backs are used in training camp and preseason games to get a better idea of what the Giants plans are.
Thu, 16 May 2013 12:01:40 -0700 The New York Giants likely will continue to use RB David Wilson as their kick returner after being unable to sign Oakland Raiders WR Joshua Cribbs. It was believed Wilson would have his return duties reduced because he is expected to be the starting running back.
Sat, 11 May 2013 11:22:42 -0700 New York Giants special teams coordinator Tom Quinn said he believes RB David Wilson can still be a kick returner this season even though he is expected to be the starting running back. "With his expanded role (in the offense), we'll see where it leads," Quinn said. "He said he'd like to do both, but it all depends on the game and his carries and what his role is in the offense." Fantasy Tip: The team likely will look to decrease Wilson's return duties even if he wants to handle the role because he is expected to be the team's main runner. Wilson likely will be an every-week starter this season as long as he is healthy.
Thu, 25 Apr 2013 06:15:00 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson has improved his pass protection skills, according to running backs coach Jerald Ingram.
Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:38:47 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson said he hopes to continue his role as the kick returner even if he wins the starting running back job.
Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:28:59 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson said he does not expect the starting running back job to be handed to him and is ready to compete with the other running backs on the roster for the job. RBs Andre Brown, Ryan Torain and Da'Rel Scott are also expected to compete to playing time. Fantasy Tip: Wilson is the clear favorite to win the starting job and would be a starter each week if he does win the job. Brown is considered the favorite for the No. 2 RB job and could be a complementary back to Wilson. The roles for Torain and Scott are not known at this point, so their value is not easy to determine.
Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:11:47 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson (hand) recently underwent minor hand surgery to remove a bone chip near his wrist. He said the surgery his not affected his offseason training. Fantasy Tip: It does not appear like the surgery will affect his availability for offseason workouts or training camp. Wilson likely will be an every week starter for owners in 2013.
Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:13:07 -0700 The New York Giants intend to split carries between RBs Andre Brown and David Wilson in 2013.
Wed, 06 Feb 2013 18:30:56 -0800 New York Giants RB Andre Brown (leg) is expected serve as the primary backup to RB David Wilson now that RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, knee) has been jettisoned. Fantasy Tip: Brown is recovering from a broken leg suffered in November. If he bounces back to 100 percent before the season, he might be worth a look as a flex fantasy option most weeks. However, it would take a long-term injury to Wilson to create more of an opportunity.
Wed, 06 Feb 2013 18:30:11 -0800 The emergence of New York Giants RB David Wilson this past season made it easier to part with RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle, knee). Wilson rushed for 358 yards and four scores, and also set a franchise record with 1,533 kickoff return yards. Fantasy Tip: Wilson will be the team's top running back, and will be a Top 20 fantasy option at his position. He might be higher if RB Andre Brown (leg) struggles to get back to full strength after suffering a broken leg in November.
Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:40:05 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson set a franchise rookie record by recording 1,925 all-purpose yards this season. It is the most yards by a Giants player since retired RB Tiki Barber got 2,127 all-purpose yards.
Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:03:12 -0800 New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese thinks the RB David Wilson can be a lead back in the NFL.
Wed, 26 Dec 2012 15:59:59 -0800 New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (knee) carried the rock nine times for 39 yards in Week 16 two weeks after spraining his knee. RB David Wilson played in just four offensive snaps.
Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:19:23 -0800 New York Giants RBs Kregg Lumpkin and David Wilson split the carries in Week 15 with RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot, knee) sidelined. They were efficient in the loss, and are ready again if needed in Week 16.
Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:56:10 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin gave his vote of confidence in RB David Wilson carrying the majority of the load in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. "This guy has very, very good leg strength and he has got one ingredient that you look for in everybody and it's stamina. He has outstanding stamina. It appears that he can go all day long. So those are going to be assets he needs right down the stretch here," Coughlin said.
Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:56:50 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson was named Special Teams Player of the Week after posting 227 kickoff return yards on four returns, including a 97-yard touchdown, in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 07:45:59 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson was in for 21 offensive snaps in the team's Week 14 game, 13 of which were carries.
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 05:17:42 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson averaged 7.7 yards per carry in Week 14, the highest by a Giants rusher with at least 10 carries since Week 14 of 2010. He averaged 2.8 yards after contact per rush, the second-highest by a Giants rusher this season.
Sun, 09 Dec 2012 22:39:33 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson sprinted 97 yards on a kickoff return for one touchown, ran for 100 yards and two more scores, and posted a team-record 327 all-purpose yards in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. "To come up and have a breakout game like this is an exciting feeling," Wilson said. He is the first NFL player to have 200 yards in kickoff returns and 100 yards rushing in a game.
Sat, 01 Dec 2012 07:19:50 -0800 New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said there is no reason why RB David Wilson should not be ready to see more action in Week 13. "You've got to be ready and have an understanding of what your assignments are and what adjustments you have to make to handle the specific challenges or problems that the Redskins present," Gilbride said. "He's certainly been around long enough to learn from the guys ahead of him that have done a great job with handling that stuff."
Sat, 01 Dec 2012 05:36:44 -0800 New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw said he's primarily worked with RB David Wilson on "the little things" prior to Week 13, such as pass-blocking assignments and remaining patient while the offensive linemen make their blocks on running plays. "It's very tough. Coming from college, they just want to get the ball in your hands and you run with it. Here, everybody is a pro, there's great players on defense," Bradshaw said. "I just try to feed him a lot of the little things, that's what he has problems with, the little things … Those are the things I can help him with. He has great vision, great speed, and he's a sponge right now to absorb all the information."
Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:57:57 -0800 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin pulled RB David Wilson aside for a brief conversation to make sure he understands the enormous opportunity he has in Week 13 against the Washington Redskins. Wilson will be the primary backup to RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) nicked up and RB Andre Brown (fibula) out for the season. Fantasy Tip: Wilson's workload depends on the health of Bradshaw, and how much work Coughlin elects to give newcomers Kregg Lumpkin and Ryan Torain. However, both of those players seem more destined for roles on special teams in their debut. Right now, Wilson is a solid flex play in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, but don't rely upon him too heavily just yet.
Mon, 26 Nov 2012 05:10:27 -0800 The New York Giants will lean on RB David Wilson to help carry the rushing load along with RB Ahmad Bradshaw following the injury to RB Andre Brown (fibula) in Week 12. Bradshaw is confident Wilson will be ready. "I think he can be," Bradshaw said. "Once we get him going and get him learning a little more and different things in different areas I think he'll be a great asset to our offense."
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 22:45:40 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson had six carries for 13 yards in the Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers, and he added a five-yard reception. Fantasy Tip: Wilson is likely to see an increase in touches with RB Andre Brown (fibula) suffering a broken left fibula in the win. He is worth adding in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams if you're desperate for RB help.
Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:44:37 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson is frustrated with his lack of opportunities to prove himself this season. "They say those statements, but I haven't been put in a situation to see if I could pick up a blitz," Wilson said. "So I don't know if it's from my college film or what that comes from. But I'm just waiting for my opportunity to get out there." The coaching staff has expressed their lack of faith in Wilson's pass-blocking abilities, and ball control is also in question.
Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:47:42 -0800 New York Giants head coach stated that the team planned to use RB David Wilson more in Week 10, but the game situations didn't dictate it. The team is ready to use the rookie to run more and they like his explosiveness out of the backfield. With the team's offense slumping, Wilson has the ability to deliver big plays. However, there are still worries about his pass-catching and blocking abilities.
Tue, 13 Nov 2012 13:24:04 -0800 New York Giants RB David Wilson played in just two offensive plays during the team's Week 10 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but head coach Tom Coughlin said the plan to get Wilson more playing time was negated by the game situation. The team raves about his explosive running style, but he'll have to work on a number of things before he can gain the coaching staff's trust. "He's got to be able to do all other things besides just running the ball," offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said. "It's not just running the ball when you're a running back in the National Football League. It's about catching passes, it's about blocking, it's about being able to protect the quarterback. All those things are taken into consideration when you determine whether a guy gets playing time or not."
Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:01:27 -0800 New York Giants RB Andre Brown was on the field for 44 offensive snaps in Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) was on the field for 23 snaps. It was reported Bradshaw suffered a neck injury which required X-rays. RB David Wilson also saw two snaps.
Thu, 11 Oct 2012 12:33:35 -0700 New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said the team is looking to expand RB David Wilson's role in the offense as fast as possible but want to make sure he can handle what is given to him.
Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:27:45 -0700 New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said the team is trying to create opportunities for RB David Wilson in hopes that he will make a big play and get more opportunities.
Tue, 02 Oct 2012 11:46:42 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson is hoping to earn more carries at running back by performing well on kick returns, and it is something that is working. "We probably had as good a field position based on our kickoff return game that we've had in a long, long time," head coach Tom Coughlin said of Wilson's 36.2 yard average on returns against Philadelphia on Sunday night. "David Wilson as a weapon is quite obvious now [and] people are really going to have to contend with that aspect of our game."
Sat, 22 Sep 2012 04:27:38 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson played just four offensive snaps during the team's Week 3 game. Wilson appears to be still in the doghouse for his fumble in the season opener; however, head coach Tom Coughlin said Wilson's time will come, as he still needs to progress. "A guy that is taken first round, much is expected," Coughlin said. "David is going to have many opportunities." The emergence of RB Andre Brown has also kept Wilson on the sidelines.
Sun, 16 Sep 2012 22:22:11 -0700 New York Giants RB Andre Brown, not rookie RB David Wilson, stepped up in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) went down to injury. Brown posted 71 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, and he added a two-point conversion run. Brown also had 19 yards on two receptions. Meanwhile, Wilson posted just six yards on three totes.
Wed, 12 Sep 2012 09:52:14 -0700 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said RB David Wilson will see playing time in Week 2 after ball security was an issue for the running back in Week 1.
Wed, 12 Sep 2012 08:20:22 -0700 New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said he likes how RB David Wilson has responded since a difficult Week 1 performance and "he is a little out of the doghouse."
Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:40:16 -0700 New York Giants rookie RB David Wilson fumbled on his second carry against the Dallas Cowboys during Week 1 and wasn't given another chance to make up for his mistake. He never saw another down in the backfield and was limited to just returning kicks during the remainder of the game. Even on kickoffs he was replaced on two of them before getting another chance later in the game. "It's hard to put it behind you if that's the last play you can remember," Wilson said. Holding onto the football was a problem for Wilson at Virginia Tech, where he fumbled seven times (losing four of them) last season. Wilson now needs to regain the confidence of the coaching staff before Week 2, but he isn't sure how to do that. "I don't know. I got to come up with something, though. I just have to go out and practice well," he said.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 13:29:55 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson earned some trust at kick returner in the team's Week 1 game, according to head coach Tom Coughlin. Coughlin sees potential in this area for Wilson.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 09:07:11 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson said he will have to earn back the trust of the coaching staff after his Week 1 fumble. Wilson would not receive another offensive snap after losing the first-quarter fumble. "I know I didn't have much room for error as a rookie, and then to have a critical error like that, a turnover ... You just live and you learn and you move forward," Wilson said.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 05:41:55 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson had a fumble early in the team's Week 1 game, and as a result he did not receive another offensive snap the rest of the way. Wilson was even replaced on a kickoff return.
Thu, 30 Aug 2012 06:10:44 -0700 The New York Giants have been using RB Danny Ware as the third-down back this preseason, even with RB David Wilson in the lineup, which likely signals what the team thinks about Ware - and maybe Wilson - in pass protection.
Sat, 25 Aug 2012 05:51:58 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson had 49 yards rushing on five attempts, in addition to two receptions for 26 yards, in the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 24. Wilson has displayed blazing speed.
Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:15:18 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson ran with the first-team offense for the second straight day Tuesday, Aug. 21. He has been impressive in camp and appears to be ahead of RBs Danny Ware, Andre Brown and Da'Rel Scott on the depth chart. RB Ahmad Bradshaw (hand) has practiced the last two days, but it's unknown if he'll play in the preseason game against the Chicago Bears Friday, Aug. 24.
Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:44:28 -0700 New York Giants QB Eli Manning praised RB David Wilson, talking about how fast he is and hard he runs. "He's obviously very fast, and he runs hard," Manning said. "He lowers his shoulder, and delivers a powerful punch. That's his style, and that powerful running is kind of New York tradition. Even though he's not considered the big back a lot of the Giants are known for, he still runs hard like a lot of the running backs here do."
Mon, 20 Aug 2012 13:42:16 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson got first-team reps with the team in practice Monday, Aug. 20.
Sat, 11 Aug 2012 06:45:24 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson recorded a team-high 43 yards rushing in the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 10. Wilson also had a 48-yard kickoff return in the game.
Fri, 10 Aug 2012 07:41:25 -0700 New York Giants rookie RB David Wilson has impressed the team during training camp and the coaching staff has liked a lot about him. Now he's tasked with doing the same during preseason games. "Practice is one thing, (a) game is another," running backs coach Jerald Ingram said. The Giants are looking for Wilson to add a boost to their running game, which averaged just 89.2 yards per game last season. Even though Wilson has been running fifth on the depth chart during training camp, he figures to be the team's No. 2 running back behind starting tailback Ahmad Bradshaw. Ingram said the team needs Wilson to be able to protect the quarterback and learn to get up the field as fast as he can to take advantage of his speed.
Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:29:12 -0700 New York Giants WR Victor Cruz is impressed with RB David Wilson, noting that he is one of the most explosive players he has seen, and that he will make some big plays for the Giants this year.
Fri, 27 Jul 2012 22:30:58 -0700 New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw is at the top of the pecking order at running back in training camp, followed by RB Danny Ware, Andre Brown, Da'Rel Scott and David Wilson.
Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:24:46 -0700 New York Giants RB David Wilson was drafted at the end of the first round in the 2012 NFL Draft, and he has a real chance to win the primary backup job to RB Ahmad Bradshaw. Wilson has received rave reviews during the offseason due to his speed.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:49:13 -0700 New York Giants RB Danny Ware may have an advantage over RB David Wilson for the No. 2 running back spot entering training camp because of his experience in the offense. If Ware does get the job, the team will wait to give Wilson the job until they trust that he is ready to handle to role.
