#Colts placed RB Ahmad Bradshaw on the active/PUP list.Ahmad Bradshaw signed a one-year $2,000,000 contract last month with the Colts. Only $250,000 guaranteed money.

Bradshaw (27) spent his first seven years with the New York Giants. In that time, he only played one complete season - 2010 - in which he carried the ball 276 times for 1,235 yards and 8 TDs. Bradshaw also has pass-catching value with 132 career receptions for 1,087 yards and 3 scores. Bradshaw also statistically is a very reliable receiver catching 76% of passes thrown his way.
The Colts certainly plan to have Bradshaw be their primary backfield resident, but injuries have continuously nagged Ahmad throughout his career.
Fantasy Impact: I am personally a Bradshaw optimist. I have him listed as a very low-end RB2 above Chris Ivory, Darren McFadden, and I even edge him over DeMarco Murray. If Bradshaw can stay healthy he will provide good fantasy value, especially in points per reception formats. If the Colts leave him on the PUP list for very long, I would move his value down towards running backs such as Eddie Lacy and Rashard Mendenhall.
