  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw has X-rays on wrist    Sun Nov 29, 07:27 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (wrist) left the Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a right wrist injury. He said Sunday, Nov. 29, that preliminary X-rays were negative and he is dealing with swelling.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw was starting to cut into Frank Gore's value, but that trend could be reversed with this injury. The matchup against Pittsburgh next week is a good one, so we'll be tracking this closely.

Indianapolis Colts WR Ahmad Bradshaw caught two touchdown passes from QB Matt Hasselbeck in a 24-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw was responsible for six touchdown catches in ten games last year, and he is finally up to speed even though Andrew Luck is out. He's a flex play going into a matchup with Tampa.

  Colts | Frank Gore to be unleashed?    Thu Nov 19, 10:56 AM

Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore has had restrictions on his workload thus far, but the Colts have given indications that they could unleash Gore with QB Andrew Luck (kidney) out. 'If he's rolling like that,' head coach Chuck Pagano said, 'and we're staying balanced and he feels good, we're going to do what we have to do to win the ball game.'

Footballguys view: We've had too many injuries and bad news this season regarding running backs, so it's nice to see some good news. Gore should have room to run against the Atlanta Falcons and we see him as a solid RB1.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw returns to Colts    Wed Oct 14, 02:22 PM

Free-agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Colts) re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts Wednesday, Oct. 14, on a one-year deal, according to a source.

Footballguys view: The two sides know each other well. Bradshaw is finally healthy after breaking his leg last November. The team should use him as veteran depth behind starter Frank Gore. Bradshaw can give the team a spark that rookie Josh Robinson just wasn't providing.

Free-agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Colts) is healthy and the Indianapolis Colts have some interest in him, a source said Tuesday, Sept. 15.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw could give this team plenty of experience at the running back position with Frank Gore. If added, it would cut into Gore's value as Bradshaw could work well as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. Stay tuned.

Free-agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw (leg) has been cleared to resume playing after suffering a fractured fibula last year.

Footballguys view: With a one-game suspension already ruled upon, Bradshaw should start getting interest from a few teams as a pass-catching back. Bradshaw had eight touchdowns and 725 total yards in 10 games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2014.

  NFL | Ahmad Bradshaw pleads no contest    Mon May 11, 12:50 PM

Free-agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw (Colts) pleaded no contest and paid a fine to settle a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession in Ohio. He paid $351 in fines under the plea agreement, and his Ohio driving privileges were suspended for six months. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league will review Bradshaw's case 'under our policies.'

Footballguys view: This isn't going to help Bradshaw latch on with a team. It's a young man's game, and teams found plenty of talented running backs in the draft. Bradshaw's season was cut short last year in Week 11 with a broken leg. On the open market, Bradshaw has drawn zero interest.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw has pleaded not guilty and has a pretrial conference scheduled for April 8. After his legal troubles are behind him, Bradshaw is unlikely to get that much interest on the open market.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw placed on IR    Tue Nov 18, 02:54 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (leg) was placed on Reserve/Injured Tuesday, Nov. 18. Bradshaw suffered a broken leg in Week 11.

Footballguys view: The Colts have an opening at the running back position behind Trent Richardson. Dan Herron is going to get the first crack as the team's change-of-pace back, but they might go out and sign a back in free agency.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw not going on IR yet    Mon Nov 17, 04:02 PM

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (leg) will not be placed on the Reserve/Injured list at this point, according to head coach Chuck Pagano. Pagano said the team will know more about the injury after Bradshaw meets with some specialists.

Footballguys view: Yet is the key term here. With Bradshaw out (maybe for the year), the Colts will turn to Dan Herron as the primary backup and change-of-pace back behind Trent Richardson.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw likely broke ankle    Mon Nov 17, 08:39 AM

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) likely suffered a broken ankle Sunday, Nov. 16. He'll undergo testing to determine the severity and whether surgery is required Monday, Nov. 17.

Footballguys view: It's a blow to the offense for sure. Bradshaw is a fine all-purpose runner and receiver out of the backfield who gives the team some explosiveness from the running back position. Without Bradshaw we could just see a larger role for Trent Richardson.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw dinged up    Sun Nov 16, 10:37 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (back) left the Week 11 game against the New England Patriots in the fourth quarter due to an apparent back injury.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw has always had trouble holding up for 16 games, so this is a bit ominous. Trent Richardson isn't exactly inspiring confidence, so any Bradshaw missed time will probably just result in more pass attempts for Andrew Luck.

  Colts | RBs to split the load    Fri Sep 12, 09:06 AM

Indianapolis Colts RBs Trent Richardson and Ahmad Bradshaw are expected to split carries in Week 2. Richardson rushed only six times for 20 yards in Week 1 because the team fell behind early. However, in his limited work, he showed improved vision and decisiveness.

Footballguys view: Richardson is almost droppable at this point. Bradshaw is a flex play with half of the backfield, and if the Colts are willing to turn Richardson into a backup, Bradshaw could have even more value. New Colt Dion Lewis could also be good to own if Bradshaw's long injury history adds another chapter.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw has big-play ability, and he'll begin the season as the primary backup behind Trent Richardson. If Richardson struggles to impress, Bradshaw could take over as a lead back for the Colts.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw looking good    Tue Jul 29, 01:13 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw has been consistent so far in camp, and he's not showing any limitations with his neck, which caused him to miss the final 13 games of last season. 'He looks fantastic,' head coach Chuck Pagano said. 'He has found the groove to make it. We know how tough Ahmad is. We know how he's wired, so I'm not going to be pulling back on the reins. He's one of those guys we have to protect them from themselves. It will take care of itself. He's not one of those guys that will think about what he went through.'

Footballguys view: Bradshaw is looking good while camp reports seem to indicate that Trent Richardson is struggling a bit. The Colts would like Richardson to be "the man" in 2014 with Bradshaw as a change-of-pace back. We'll see if Bradshaw can carve out a larger role this year than some people think.

  Colts | Vick Ballard tears Achilles'    Fri Jul 25, 07:08 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Vick Ballard (Achilles') suffered a torn Achilles' tendon during practice Friday, July 25.

Footballguys view: That's a brutal piece of news for Ballard who was coming back from an ACL injury. Ahmad Bradshaw moves up the chain a bit and will be the direct backup to Trent Richardson. T-Rich is an RB3 right now, and you can probably move Bradshaw up to RB5 with the possibility he could have a much larger role as camp and the season go on.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw cleared    Thu Jul 24, 08:29 AM

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) has been cleared to practice.

Footballguys view: Bradshaw outplayed Trent Richardson before being sidelined last year, and some believe he can do it again this year. His draft stock is very low and Bradshaw will only cost you a pick in the very late rounds this year. He might even go undrafted. If Richardson stumbles out of the gate, Bradshaw could have surprising value, but Vick Ballard is also back and he might have something to say about that.

  Colts | Trent Richardson will need to produce     Sat Jul 12, 12:15 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson will need to produce right away in the running game if he wants to keep the starting job, because the team will not wait for him to turn things around if RB Ahmad Bradshaw or Vick Ballard are playing well.

Footballguys view: Richardson needs to get his confidence back. He looked tentative and lost last year after the trade which sent him from Cleveland to Indianapolis. Richardson is one of the most naturally talented runners in the game today, and he needs to start playing up to the potential he showed during his rookie season in 2012.

  Colts | Trent Richardson will get first chance to start    Mon Jun 30, 04:20 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson will be given the first shot at starting running back. He is more talented than RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Vick Ballard, and the Colts don't want to show that their trade for him last September was a failure.

Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Richardson burned a lot of fantasy owners last year. He was regarded as a first-round pick in most fantasy leagues after a rookie season where he rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and had over 50 catches for the Browns. Cleveland quickly gave up on him last year, and shipped him to the Colts. Richardson never looked comfortable in his new surroundings, and he finished the season as the 34th-best fantasy RB (9th-best in 2012). His current ADP is RB26 (5.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. Take advantage of Richardson's reputation with fantasy owners if he falls too far in your league.

  Colts | Trent Richardson, Ahmad Bradshaw competing for RB job    Mon Jun 16, 03:22 PM

Indianapolis Colts RBs Trent Richardson and Ahmad Bradshaw wore red non-contact jerseys during organized team activities as they compete for the team's starting running back role. That battle is expected to intensify during training camp, but both will see playing time, no matter who is the official starter. Head coach Chuck Pagano has stated he wants a workhorse running back, however.

Footballguys view: The Colts surrendered a first-round pick for Richardson, and he will be given every opportunity to win the starting job. The natural talent is there with Richardson, but he ran with little confidence last season after getting traded from Cleveland. We'll see if he looks better this year as he'll be more familiar with the system.

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) in on the field for organized team activities Wednesday, June 4, but he is wearing a no contact jersey.

Footballguys view: It's a step in the right direction for Bradshaw. The team could use him in a RBBC with Trent Richardson in 2014. If healthy, Bradshaw still has the speed and big-play ability to rack up chunks of yardage on screen passes or draw plays.

  Colts | Ahmad Bradshaw injury update    Thu Apr 24, 02:07 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) said he is feeling great six months after having surgery for a neck issue. 'I'm six months after surgery. I feel great,' Bradshaw said. 'Getting stronger. I'm just glad to be back here and be a part of this team.'

Footballguys view: No matter what they say publicly, the Colts can't feel all that great about Trent Richardson's chances. The former first round pick has not exactly done anything to instill confidence either. With the departure of Donald Brown, Bradshaw's health could be important. On the odd days he's healthy, Bradshaw can be a very effective back. The problem is he's always fighting some injury. He'd be a good and productive complimentary back with the upside for a little more. All of which means that the Colts backfield isn't doing much to excite fantasy owners.
