Mario Manningham Week 12 Fantasy Update

New York Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham (knee) is questionable for the team's Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints. That means that if you have a safer option on your Fantasy Football roster you should probably leave Manningham out of your lineup this week.

Manningham has been productive for the Giants this season, but has pretty much been surpassed as the team's No. 2 wide receiver by the electrifying Victor Cruz. Manningham, in his fourth year, has 34 receptions for the Giants in nine games, three of them for touchdowns. A season ago Manningham caught 57 passes, nine for touchdowns. His average yards per catch has dropped to 11.9 this season from a career-best of 15.7 in 2010.

If you happen to have Cruz, the fact that Manningham is questionable and the Giants are likely to be in a high-scoring shootout with the Saints Monday would make him a good play.

Fantasy Football Week 12 Advice: Best Last-Minute Sources

Need some last-minute advice for how to set your Week 12 Fantasy Football lineup? Well, SB Nation New York has offered you some advice throughout the week, and we know where you can get the best last-minute information.

SB Nation’s Fake Teams offers a plethora of stories you can reference before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff of Sunday’s action. Among them:

- Active/Inactive updates
- Week 12 rankings by position
- A Week 12 Start’Em/Sit ’Em guide
- Week 12 sleepers, including Joe McKnight of the New York Jets
- Week 12 Waiver Wire scoops, if you need a last-minute replacement for an injured player.

SB Nation partner The National Football Post is also offering fantasy advice this morning.

With LaDainian Tomlinson inactive for the Jets, NFP really likes Jets running back Shonn Greene this week against Buffalo.

Greene rolled up 76 rushing yards against Buffalo back on November 6th before exiting the game early due to injury. Not too shabby, but we’re anticipating a juicier stat line for the rematch. The Bills are reeling and have lost four of their last five outings. In addition, this defense currently ranks 20th in the NFL against the run (122.4 yds/gm) and is surrendering an average of 21.0 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season (7th-most in NFL). Backup Joe McKnight will get some touches, but we think Greene makes for a solid RB2/flex option for Week 12.

The Bills are reeling, and I can’t really disagree with that.

Ahmad Bradshaw Fantasy Projection: Just Hang Onto Him

Ahmad Bradshaw will not play again this week, so the New York Giants running back should not be in your Week 12 Fantasy Football starting lineup. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, though, I am going to tell you the same thing about Bradshaw that I did last week -- do not cut him. Just keep him on your bench for now.

Whenever he does get clearance to return to the lineup after suffering a cracked bone in his foot, Bradshaw should resume duties as the Giants' primary running back. That clearance could come next week when the Giants face the unbeaten Green Bay Packers.

The Giants ran the ball only 17 times for a total of 29 yards last week against Philadelphia, and Brandon Jacobs (90 carries, 274 yards, a 3.0 yards per carry average) is not lighting the world on fire as Bradshaw's replacement.

When he gets back on the field, the Giants will ride him. You should, too.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Week 12: Joe McKnight? Da'Rel Scott?

Let’s take a look at New York Giants or New York Jets who might be available on the Fantasy Football waiver wire for Week 12 of the NFL season.

SB Nation’s Fake Teams recommends that you snag Jets running back/return specialist Joe McKnight if he isn’t already owned in your league — which Fake Teams thinks he should be.

Fake Teams says "Shonn Greene has done absolutely nothing to conclusively say the job is his and there’s a good chance that this becomes a 50-50 split. "

As for the Giants, Yahoo! Sports puts rookie running back Da’Rel Scott into its questionable category.

It looks like Ahmad Bradshaw (cracked bone in his foot) may miss another game, and D.J. Ware (concussion) is also highy unlikely to play, leaving just Brandon Jacobs and Scott to carry the ball for the Giants. Scott has also been returning kickoffs for the Giants the past couple of weeks, so if you are desperately in need of a running back this might be a good week for a flier on Scott.
