James Bradberry
CB - NYG
This Week Outlook
The Giants activated CB James Bradberry from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Fantasy Impact
Bradberry was a high-risk, close-contact of someone that wasn't tied to the Giants' facility. He has been one of the best corners in football this year and his return is a big one for the Giants' defense entering Week 16.
Giants shutdown CB James Bradberry has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list as he was identified as a close contact with somebody at the Giants facility who tested positive for COVID.
Fantasy Impact
Bradberry will miss Week 15 against the Browns, which makes Rashard Higgins a better play now that he won’t be seeing one of the league’s premier shutdown corners. Quietly, Higgins has been a WR1 the past two weeks, and could be an option as a WR3 in Week 15 against the Giants.
James Bradberry agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract with $32 million guaranteed.
Fantasy Impact
Bradberry last season with the Carolina Panthers had 51 tackles and three interceptions. The Giants have the veteran cornerback they so desperately needed. He immediately becomes the Giants’ No. 1 cornerback, which would improve the Giants defense.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports James Bradberry has come to terms with the New York Giants on a three-year contract.
Fantasy Impact
Rapoport adds the total value of the deal is $45 million, which includes $32 million guaranteed. Bradberry, the former Carolina Panther, is a nice get for the Giants’ secondary. The Panthers were always expected to move on from the Star corner as they’re entering a rebuild.
James Bradberry finished Sunday’s 37-26 win over the Buccaneers with two interceptions and 10 solo tackles.
Fantasy Impact
Bradberry currently has three interceptions, one sack, and 29 total tackles through Week 6. He is worth rostering in deeper IDP leagues, but he might be hard to start with their Bye in Week 7 and not playing Tampa Bay again this season.
