Placed On IR |
| RB2 |
Ahmad Bradshaw

| WR3 | Bernard Berrian |
|
Looked better last week. |
| TE1 |
Visanthe Shiancoe |
|
Giants have been fairly bad against tight ends. |
| K1 | Ryan Longwell |

|
Pass if he plays. |
| WR1 | Antonio Bryant |
|
A flex option only. |

Kellen Winslow |
|
Should be ready to go. |

Should sit. |
| RB4 |
Lynell Hamilton
|

| WR1 | Marques Colston |
|
Will play a series at most. |
| WR2 | Devery Henderson |
|
Will play, but not a great option without Brees. |
| WR3 | Robert Meachem |
|
Same as Henderson. |
| TE1 |
Jeremy Shockey
